I've asked this before but will try again. Can anyone tell me how I can play Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd without the annoying gaps between tracks? The official Plex add-on does it but I prefer Composite and there's no choice but Composite if using Kodi 19 (music doesn't play via official Kodi client).
Thanks to anyone who replies.

Hello
I've been using Plexbmc with Kodi 17 so far. Now I had a little time and installed Coreelec with 19.2-Matrix_rc3 on my media player.
With this I want to establish a connection to my Plex server as before. So far Plexbmc started automatically after booting and I had all my Plex sections in the main menu.
I could also switch to Kodi manually.
With composite I only have the Kodi screen after booting and always have to go to the addons for my stuff and select composite there.
Is it possible to use composite instead of Kodi as the main menu with all my sections ( Movies / TV Shows / Doku / ...) ?
This worked perfectly with plexbmc.

Does everyone like Composite better than the Plex addons or app?

That more or less covers it.
The Plex addon is official, in that it's written by / maintained by / provided by Plex themselves. Due to that it has the Plex layout and interface, and whilst it's a Kodi addon it's basically Plex within Kodi. You can see from the interface that it's the standard Plex one, which depending on the Kodi skin that is used can be quite a jarring change between the two, and of course the selection and navigation is also quite different.
Composite is aimed at being a "half-way house" between the two, in that it looks more like a Kodi interface style addon, but still uses the same sources and data from the Plex servers etc.
So it's using the same information, but presenting it in a different and more Kodi-standard way that some people may prefer.

Need a bit of help please, can't get Composite to scan my TV Shows into the library, they are there in the addon I can see them, play them etc , but they won't scan in using the plugin url. Tried with local and TMDB/TVDB set as scraper.
Using matrix.
Movies scanned in first try using url and setting to "local provider"

I have a question if it is possible for me to use Composite on my Kodi. I explain my installation:
- I have a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ that works as a Torrent Box where I store the series and movies already organized; then in the living room I have another Raspberry Pi 4 with Kodi from which through the network and by NFS I synchronize the files to watch them on TV. What advantages does Composite bring me compared to the installation that I have?
Regards.
