You have apps all nice and separate.
If I want to watch something Disney, I go Disney+ add-on.
Rather than navigating a huge library looking for Disney movies.
But, like everything - it's personal preference.
SlyGuy shares my sort of "add-on preference"
Which is
- keep it simple
- Reliability over features
- Automate as much as you can
eg. get kodis language instead of an add-on setting for language (this is also part of rule#5)
- Sensible default settings (Based on rule #2)
eg. Inputstream Adaptive HLS is much faster to start than built-in ffmpeg.
However, the built-in can buffer ahead.
So, by default - use ffmpeg. But there is a setting to enable HLS for users without need for buffer.
- Use kodis existing features / settings when you can
eg. don't use window.xml as they don't change with skins - use xbmcplugin
Yes, it might mean it can't be as flashy - but it's reliable (Rule#2), works everywhere and all skins
Use IPTV Merge + add-on so you can use kodis built-in TV / EPG etc.
Don't re-create whats already there
