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?
No it’s just a streaming host. Even as xbmc you could mount a network share library, you didn’t need it all stored on-device.
By default it isn’t
What do you mean? You can connect it to network shares “by default”.
