ive been using kodi (xbmc was better moniker) since google killed sagetv. i recall attempting plex, but it seemed to lack some open/extensibility (its been awhile).

i have a side project i want to make as a modular plugin generating a cable layout with original air orders and networks/channels... kodi seems most optimal, but ill admit its been a long while since i looked at plex.

so why plex over kodi?

Surprised there is so much support for Plex...considering what this group is about, and Plex being in bed with the media conglomerates.

Emby or Jellyfin...

My gripe with Jellyfin is that there isn't a functional app for my shitbox Toshiba Amazon TV. I'm open to alternatives but that's a must for me. Plex is also fairly user friendly which is important for sharing my library with my relatives.

Can you not sideload to those TVs?

[–] Gerbler@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh I can download and install apks through the shitty browser on the tv. If there's a functional app that has an equivalent UX to the Plex TV app I'd be open to trying it.

Add the jellycon plugin (instructions on jellyfin site)

Done
