Hey all is anybody using the PLEX for KODI addon if so could anybody rec the best UI for it please. Was using Rasplex on the PI3 even though i love Rasplex since my library is getting bigger the PI is getting little sluggish so ive decided to use to my Minix Neo u1

The official Plex addon goes to it's own skin when running so it looks like a standard Plex player, the underlying Kodi skin is almost irrelevant. If you are predominantly just going to use Plex in Kodi you can set the Plex addon to run at Kodi startup so a simple lightweight Kodi skin is best to lower resource usage.

I have over 1500 movies on my Plex server and all 6 of my RasPlex's are still fast.

Evening all. What skin is everybody using at the Moment im looking to install PLEXKODICONNECT. Been using plex for kodi for last couple of days since my pi3 got corrupt and not re installing it and find my minix is a lot faster browsing starting films exc. But not sure which skin to use really since i know you can use any skin with plexkodiconnect

Why aren't you using the official Plex plugin for Kodi? No need for any specific skin as it loads into it's own interface which looks similar to most other Plex applications.

How do you speed up your PI's even though for what they are (very good) i find mine sluggish at browsing around. Saying that im using TV remote via CEC so that could be the prob

I've not done anything to them tbh, they just work. 4 are used with USB remotes, 1 with CEC and 1 with a Harmony remote using a RemotePi board.

The one that I use with the Harmony is on my main TV and I still prefer it to using the TV app. I need to use the TV app for UHD films though.
