Kodi

What used to be the greatest mediacenter for the first XBOX has turned into a nightmare. We all know the pros: it is free and not windows mediacenter.

Cons?

-Requires more steps to enable "unknown sources" than Android
-Is slowly closing down: bands addons, implements source verfication and so on..let's face it they what to monetize
-The UX has been "reworked" by insane people, e.g. the Systemsetting have cute useless biiiig icons now but you won't be able to find anything.
-Adding an AddOn from Zip from a remote source takes about 500% longer than before.
-For over 10 years now people have been requesting basic functionality like adding an IPCamera stream...still not done

I guarantee it: there will be a payed subscription model before there will be an IP camera plugin.

Time to fork.

I downloaded Kodi today to test as an alternative to WMP. Unfortunately, I am not finding it suitable for housing or managing my music library for the following reasons:

1. It retrieved my music library from C: drive but there are already discrepancies with some albums and tracks being lost or jumbled.
2. I tried to rip a CD and this is not shown on Kodi once inserted, unlike WMP where I can see immediately whether or not there is missing album/track info which needs to be entered manually. Also, the entry to C: drive is again jumbled.
3. I would like the option to rip a CD to more than one drive as I have a server.

Currently, not a fan so I will move on to VLC.

The best of the best.

Powerful, great looking, and gets the job done very well.
A little bit of learning curve, but unstoppable for powerusers.

it's good to use if you love movies and watching shows this is for you. kodi is still rockin!

Kodi is my all-time favorite app in android store
