I'm not a kodi fanboy, and I would certainly change a few things about it if I could, but I needed a client because having a NAS where everything is stored in their appropriately named own directory makes things a lot faster; all it needs is a player on something that can mount remote directories. Also, my NAS runs XigmaNAS which I doubt could stream videos, but more importantly I don't need the stream functionality because usually I'm watching something while my SO watches something different. They're just different solutions for different needs.

You were overselling it a bit, going so far as to assume a plugin existed for it when it didn't. It gave a bit of a fanboy aura to the comment.

I like Kodi too, I've been using it since the XBMP days on modded Xboxes and still do for certain things, but eventually I needed something more flexible and something that worked over the internet. Being able to share my movies with my grandma or my next door neighbors wasn't really achievable with Kodi.
