Plex is a server program, kodi is an end-user media program. Where they may overlap in usage, they are not the same type of program.
Kodi is a media client. Plex is a media server.
It is one of the best alternative programs, 1 it is free, 2 it gives you the option to watch a TV show or a movie, 3 the quality of the content varies from medium to high and 4 the speed is quite good, the only small problem with this soft, is the adaptability to the remote control, and I think they can correct soon ...
Fácil de usar, rápido y permite más contenido. Desde mi experiencia, esto es lo que esperaba de Kodi, pero ahora me faltan algunas características;)
Super easy and fast to use. Excellent The best!
