Plex began its journey as a spin-off, and it is actually a closed-source program that rivals Kodi in several ways. Plex was designed to stream all your media over your private home network or to PCs and laptops across the internet around the world.
The truth is that if you are attempting to use Kodi to install add-ons and builds to stream content from all across the globe, Plex might not be of help. Still, if you’ve built a large collection of digital media on your library, you should consider Plex for streaming to your devices, including Amazon Fire Stick.
In summary, Plex is a simple program that allows you to stream your locally-hosted content to any Plex-enabled device. Even if you’ll need to run and manage the server by yourself, it is worth the risk if you are ready to do your part to make it work. See How To Stream Plex On Your Samsung Smart TV:
