Plex pulls metadata for all your movies and TV shows from reliable sources, so you get a nice preview image and description for each movie or TV show. Where Plex really shines is with its smooth user interface. Nearly every file type is supported, and you're able to share your Plex server with other users as you would with a Netflix account. Since all your content is conveniently stored on a web-based server, you're able to access all your content across your devices. No matter which device you want to connect to your TV, there's a Plex app for it: video game consoles (current and last generations of Playstation and Xbox, as well as the NVIDIA Shield), smart TVs, streaming devices (Apple TV, Chromecast, Roku TV etc.), and, of course, mobile devices (Android, iOS, Windows 10 Mobile). Plex is fully supported by Android, along with a whole host of other devices and platforms. If you morally object to using an application so closely associated with piracy, Kodi is probably not for you. While the Kodi website covers itself by stating, in part, 'The watching or listening of illegal or pirated content which would otherwise need to be paid for is not endorsed or approved by Team Kodi', there's no denying that a large portion of Kodi's user base is there strictly for convenient access to pirated content. However, the most popular Kodi add-ons allow you to stream TV shows and movies from the internet and are unequivocally, 100% illegal. On one hand, there are perfectly legal add-ons that help you integrate other services you may use such as Dropbox and media sources such as YouTube and Spotify - even a Plex add-on if you'd like to. Kodi also supports a large number of community-created add-ons, which is where things actually get a bit sticky.

Kodi supports a bunch of community-created add-ons, which is where things actually get a bit sticky. If you're thinking of going down this route, you'll probably want to get one with expandable memory, so you can conveniently load it up with all your favorite media. There's been increased interest in Kodi boxes, which are essentially just cheap Android TV boxes that come with the Kodi app pre-installed.
