It has been a little while. I think the UI in general was a little |
| 26 |
annoying (not a lot of TV-based UIs that worked well from across a |
| 27 |
living room, especially for somebody with poor vision). However, the |
| 28 |
biggest pain was the media scanning. I found that Kodi had a lot of |
| 29 |
trouble matching stuff without NFO files, and Plex seems to get it |
| 30 |
right on the first shot 98% of the time. That is a major help. |
