I have 2 Plex licenses I bought for something like $80 AUD each, but I then went and bought an Emby license and moved 6 months ago. I have tried Emby, Jellyfin and Plex. If anyone if curious on some feedback

  1. Plex has the best interface, it is logical and everything works. That said, the stuttering on some the Apple TV on hdr /4k files for years without being fixed was the breaking point for me

  2. Emby has some quirks in the player where some functionality isn’t logical, the android apps on a 4K Tele look terrible, but the server software itself is fantastic

  3. Jellyfin does what it says on the box, but it is terribly slow to index and is very basic. I use it to host some music, but that is about it

Also, I found the Jellyfin default client(s) to be pretty mediocre. But they have an excellent Jellyfin for Kodi plugin.

Now, Kodi has had 2 decades of development and has just about everything you could ever want from a client (way better than Plex IMO).

Can I use Kodi the same way I use plex? Like can it be my replexment?

I just want to watch content on my home network 99% of the time, and occasionally use it on my phone/tablet/laptop while traveling (if I have good internet)?

I was always under the impression Kodi was something else...

The free Jellyfin apps are bad on iOS and AppleTV.
