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.

The 7 Best Windows Music Players for Hi-Res Audio

While most examples of hi-res music player software focus on sound quality alone, Roon focuses on something else. The developers say that something has been lost in the transition to digital music. To bring back the feeling of engagement you’d get from poring over liner notes, Roon aims to present a searchable “magazine” of your music.

Apple Buys DarwinAI Ahead of Major Generative AI Updates Coming in iOS 18
It's not for everyone but I've never been happier with OpenAudible [0] + Plex [1] + Prologue [2] [0] https://openaudible.org/ [1] https://plex.tv/ [2] https://prologue.audio/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
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 messed something up and now I can't delete and reset server fresh no matter what i try.

Yet another help with remote access - Plex and Nginx
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 do you guys use to play music on the go?
I also use Roon, which is a little complicated to describe here. Basically I have my own home server with music on, and then I can use the Roon ARC app to access it on the go, similar to above (and is similar to PlexAmp mentioned elsewhere here). Source: 11 months ago

Poor schemas, poor cataloguing: why music tagging sucks
Roon handles metadata and relationships between entities the least bad of anything I’ve tried. It’ll do things like link covers and live performances of the same song together, or let you group multiple issues of the same album and switch between them. It’s not cheap, and it takes some effort to fix some bad source data, but I’ve found it very rewarding and get a ton of enjoyment exploring my library now.... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Take a look at Roon. It's pricing and mobile limitations are disqualifications for me, but it's tagging is simply phenomenal. Source: over 1 year ago
