10 Best Kodi Alternatives You Should Use (2023)
Plex is one of the most competitive alternatives to Kodi. With almost the same features, plex is a considerable media player. It is better than Kodi in some ways, like it works on the server-client model. The interface is more robust and better than Kodi. But many features can only be accessed in the premium model.

Reelgood vs. JustWatch vs. Plex: Battle of the streaming guides
Linking from Plex to other apps is also inconsistent across platforms. It doesn’t work at all on Fire TV (even though it did at launch), and I had trouble linking out from Peacock and Paramount+ on a Chromecast with Google TV. Plex’s Apple TV app fared better overall, but linking to Paramount+ content still didn’t work.

  • Maybe easy maybe hard maybe impossible?
    I am not sure I have been reading up on qbittorent proxy in just the last few minutes and it looks like I would have to pay for a proxy server then have all requests sent to that proxy server in which would then send them to my qbittorent? Am I in the general ballpark as to how to make this work? If so I may just keep doing everything manually like I have been doing for years until I get the nerve to try all this....

    I'm pretty confused about what the missing link is here. Usually it works fine on LAN, but sometimes is marked as indirect or insecure. The mobile app seems to work on WAN, but not usually plex.tv. Can anyone help me understand how plex networking works? Thanks! Source: 5 months ago

  • What's Up with AVPlayer?
    I was looking for KDE music players. Only Amarok and Elisa are KDE projects out of the ones you listed. KDE's six music players (yes I found another one) are Amarok, AudioTube, Elisa, JuK, Soundcloud Player for Plasma Bigscreen (great name) and Vvave. Source: over 1 year ago
  • What's Up with AVPlayer?
    I was looking through the Multimedia section of apps.kde.org because I was wondering how many music players KDE has (five of them, excluding video players and including Amarok, which is missing from the list, because apparently KDE considers it unmaintained even though it still works perfectly fine and regularly gets fixes from random contributors, which is the state many other "maintained" KDE projects like...
