I used Kodi for years (back before and during the XMBC - > Kodi shift) before moving to Plex, it was great (a pain for a good config, but once your clients have remote access and use a shared database its insane how good it can be) but Plex was touted for so long I figured I’d give it a try when I saw a good sale. I’ve been using it for the past 8 years or so but may go back to Kodi or Jellyfin.

Well, looks like my decision to stick with Kodi and never bother with Plex is about to pay dividends.

The equivalent to Plex is Jellyfin I think, Plex can be used as a media server for Kodi.

NAS + Tailscale + Kodi is the easiest to setup for me. Works really good.

Kodi and Plex do different things, both of them organize your media and give you a pretty interface to access it, but Kodi is a program running locally and Plex is a webservice that you can access remotely. Jellyfin is the open source program that does the same thing as Plex, i.e. a media server manager that can be accessed remotely through a web interface.
