It really becomes the best of both worlds situation.
Using a Plex server ‘backend’ will allow you to take advantage of the features associated with the Plex media server in combination with all the features of Kodi. It will play through Plex as if it was any other Plex client accessing the media and will benefit from all of the Plex options available. When you click an item to play, it will point to the location on your Plex media server and play it from there. This means that any add-on that you use, including any skin, can be used and will behave the same as always as it will think that the copied data from your Plex server is just the same as any other data which might have been added to your native Kodi database. PlexKodiConnect takes all the data from your Plex media server and stores it into the native Kodi database. So, what’s the big deal? Well the key word above was native Kodi database. Now Croneter has taken this Emby add-on and applied it to Plex by developing the PlexKodiConnect add-on. This add-on takes all the movie and TV show information from an Emby server (similar to Plex server) and integrates it directly into the native Kodi database. So how is PlexKodiConnect different and how does it work? PlexKodiConnect has been developed based on the Emby add-on for Kodi. Plex also offers you the ability of improved portability between a variety of mobile (or other) devices. PlexKodiConnect doesn’t have these limitations and allows you to improve your Kodi experience by providing a centralized database, database management tools and transcoding for lower powered devices. Work has sort of halted on PleXMBC with no real updates being completed on the add-on for more than 5 years at the time of the updating of this article (November 2021). However there were serious limitations as you had to use one of the very few PleXBMC compatible skins such as the Amber skin. Plex and Kodi integration has been done before with PleXBMC. Let me introduce PlexKodiConnect which will help you complete your Plex and Kodi integration. Combining the power of Plex and Kodi goes a long way to bridging those gaps and make your media centre experience more seamless.
However, like anything, it has some weaknesses and there are some areas where it falls flat. On the whole, Kodi is amazing media centre software, there is no question about it.
