Kodi on Raspberry Pi: slow loading menu, random hangs & crashes, getting bluetooth LE working was a adventure, BLE remote key presses are only recognized after pressing them several times when waking up, SMB file access not reliable (mounting a smb drive and then accessing it works much better), plugins are flaky at best (youtube needs api keys, youtube cast with extra plugin works mostly (when it does not crash), amazon video stutters on SD video, satellite TV is much less reliable than VLC on Windows)

I'm still using it because the alternatives come with their own drawbacks (usually high price but still having enough quirks).



I moved from Kodi to Plex and haven’t looked back. Granted I don’t use Pi devices (my tv supports plex natively) it works much better than I ever found Kodi to
