Difference between TVMC & KODI?

by Ashton1995

I understand that TVMC is a preconfigured media center based off KODI/XBMC. I am looking to install either KODI or TVMC onto my Shield to play my media files. Does anyone recommend one over the other and is there a big difference between them. I saw someone on youtube install this on their Shield TV and it looked pretty cool but I don't know if it's not as good. I've always been a Plex user for the most part but I want to give Kodi a try for all my media on my Synology NAS.

TVMC is bloated garbage. If you want to use "those" add-ons then just install the ones you need, and skip the bloat, broken presets, and TVMC spam.

TVMC is really awesome. When it is installed you got all the apps automatically installed that you would have to manually install if you want to use that apps that give your free movies and TV shows. TVMC is just a version of Kodi that has apps all ready installed. You will like it.
