I remember using Kodi around 2012 and it was a bit of a hassle to get it set up initially (install different repos etc.) since out of the box it was very vanilla. Is it still the same process or has it gotten better where users can hit the ground running after install?
I started using it on Linux, then a Mi Box and finally and since then a Nvidia Shield TV Pro, I think it maybe has the same “difficult” steps to set it up (meaning navigating through many menus and using the keyboard several times, something not ideal on a device with a remote), if you go with the default skin (which I despise) then you can save a lot of time thinkering (I kinda don’t mind this).
Anyway, when you have your setup working as you want it then it requires low maintenance, add-ons can auto update themselves and I haven’t found they broke horribly or feel the need to disable auto update and check changelogs for every version before updating lol.
It definitely isn’t as plug and play as with, let’s say Stremio, but once you set it up you have a lot more flexibility, filters, customization, you name it.
