[QUOTE="RandyDSok, post: 156687, member: 201"] Kodi has two camps of add-ons... the official ones and the 3rd party unofficial ones. The official ones are typically kept updated but like any free open source stuff, the authors don't always keep things up, I suspect this is going to be true anywhere including Plex. Many of the unofficial ones that I'd looked at are targeted at streaming copyrighted content and do often get shut down being targeted by lawsuits and sease and desist orders. The Kodi team is working on adding some DRM that can later be used for streaming services like Amazon Prime, Hulu, Netflix and others... this will help a lot with copyrighted materials. While having DRM available won't stop unofficial addons from streaming unauthorized content, it will help some with the "blackhat" reputation Kodi's gathered since they'll be able to stream from official channels then. Most of my content is from music CD's and movie DVD's ( which I've haven't added to very often these days it seems ) that I've copied to disk making it easier for me to listen to or watch which was also what I was using Plex for as well. I also find the Youtube addon pretty handy in helping keep me up to date with my subscriptions ( mostly weather related such as chasers etc ). [/QUOTE]
