Use the PMS for all your media

You are strongly advised to use the Plex Media Server to manage all your media:

  • PKC will probably force you to reset your Kodi database at some point. You then loose the media you manually added to Kodi, blaming PKC
  • The PMS is tailor-made to centrally manage all your media once and then forget about it
  • If you don't want to add certain media to your "normal" libraries, use a dedicated Plex library and Plex Home users

How to still use Kodi for some media

If you still feel like you need to manage some media separately in Kodi, mind the following:

  1. Use NFO files for everything
    • If you ever need to reset the Kodi database, Kodi can simply rescan your NFO files. You won't need to edit your media metadata manually again
