Very good alternative to Plex media server and free multi-user (for Plex one needs a Plex account first and a Plex pass).

Plex is horrible at consumer privacy! Emby just a perfect solution especially for NAS.

While Plex logging and collecting data, Emby won’t and then device can go into sleep mode perfect.

From the FAQ of the project: What is the difference between OSMC and Kodi?

Kodi is a media center application and OSMC is the operating system that runs Kodi and brings it to your device. OSMC is not a fork of Kodi but rather a Linux distribution that ships Kodi as the main application.

This is equivalent to other media players (like VLC etc.) not to streaming media servers like Plex.
