It has been a little while. I think the UI in general was a little annoying (not a lot of TV-based UIs that worked well from across a living room, especially for somebody with poor vision). However, the biggest pain was the media scanning. I found that Kodi had a lot of trouble matching stuff without NFO files, and Plex seems to get it right on the first shot 98% of the time. That is a major help. -- Rich
