Re: Kodi: An Open Source Home Theater System
#3Longtime Kodi user here. Bought an M1 MacBook Air in the spring and Kodi barely works.
Video won't display even though the sound works fine, and instead the mouse will multiply thousands of time. You can move the mouse around and just leave trails of mouse cursors everywhere.
It's like one out of every four times it will work as expected, but requires quitting and re-opening it over and over.

Kodi is just the media suite, what add-ons one installs in it is neither their concern or their liability.
The same goes for similar offerings like Jellyfin/Plex, if the end user uses a pirated streaming service that is on them and the service provider (which Omi was.) It was this which got him into trouble, not the fact he used Kodi.

#7Kodi is awesome. The fact that it can run everywhere, with such a consistent UI is a great, and I have used it in x86 HTPCs, RPI, Android TV over the years.

#10For anyone new to it, Kodi is hardly new its been around for almost 20 years now, starting life as Xbox Media Player and later Xbox Media Center.
It's been pretty okay at what it does for a while now and has really been competing primarily with Plex as the place to store "your own copies of movies" and has really become the leading open source solution as Plex has become something of a commercial option.
