In what way?

#53How does this compare to Plex?
Plex is significantly more polished and pleasant to actually use, especially for normals. Kodi has more customizability if you like but it still feels rough around the edges.

#54Been using Kodi (XBMC) for nearly 20 years. The piracy FUD surrounding XBMC a few years ago really disappointed me. We use Kodi for streaming tv (Australia) and internet radio and it is perfect for this. That's all I wanted to say really. The piracy FUD has been disappointing.

#55Earlier quoted context omitted.
Intellectual property is theft by the corporations — it is literally charging us to partake in our own culture. And if you’re a creator and create something derivative, expect tens of thousands in a legal judgement against you just because you’re a creative fan. Even decades after the creator is dead, and can no longer benefit.
>it is literally charging us to partake in our own culture If I create something it's not your culture unless I decide to share it.
If you agree to erase your memory of all culture surrounding you and to create truly from blank than your statement could have some sense.

It generally wouldn’t be piratable if you chose to never release it at all.

#58The real OGs had this running on a modded original Xbox when it was still xbmc. In order to watch MST3K episodes from emule. Running CoreELEC on an odroid N2+ now, highly recommended.
Keep circulating the tapes!

#59We have a Linux server with Samba. Kodi connects to it beautifully. Even my kids can use it fine. Combine with VM that runs a VPN and deluge for optimal fun. Add a few simple IPTables rules to prevent traffic from leaking except over your VPN to calm down annoying Torrent monitors that your ISP might use. Been working for years. We vastly prefer to pay for content, but we ancient DVD rips and such that are not amenable to the modern media tech stack.

Quite similar, but without all the invasive monitoring and telemetry. For example: you need an "account" to run plex on your local network.
