Naast het content serveren, heeft Plex nog meer voordelen t.o.v. Kodi ?
Dat is toch juist het grote voordeel? Kodi is in principe alleen bruikbaar op 1 enkel apparaat. Plex plaats je op een server en kun je daarna op vele verschillende devices gebruiken waarbij je op ieder apparaat ook verder kunt kijken waar je gebleven was.
De architectuur van de twee tools is anders. Heel in de basis en versimpeld:
  • Kodi is een krachtige speler met een domme server voor opslag van media.
  • Plex is een krachtige server met een redelijk domme speler. De server doet het werk.
Voor Kodi heb je bij ieder scherm dus een eigen speler nodig (bijvoorbeeld een RPi). Het werk wel altijd en je hebt altijd de maximale ervaring ongeacht TV.

Voor Plex hebben de meeste TV een app. Met een NAS of centrale server heb je voldoende als je TV aan het netwerk hangt. Dit maakt het makkelijk, maar aangezien het een gesloten systeem is, ben je wel afhankelijk van Plex en de fabrikant van TV en server voor de ondersteuning.
Wat ik vooral interessant vind aan deze updates is de collection overhaul. Iets wat helemaal niet in de changelog wordt genoemd. Nu kun je eindelijk van die collections af komen waar maar 1 item in zit. Want iets is toch geen collectie als het maar 1 item is.
Collections got an overhaul
If you ever wanted us to only give you collections when you had more than one item in your library from said collection you can now rejoice. A new advanced setting, Minimum automatic collection size, will allow you to tweak the threshold at which we’ll automatically add a new collection to your library. You can tweak this setting between Disabled (no automatic collections) and 4.

Op dit item kan niet meer gereageerd worden.
