Seren, Gia, or both?

Review

Not sure whether I should use both or pick one and stick with it. Also, what are the users of these addons opinion on which is better?

I find gaia to be a bit overwhelming and clunky. Seren is simple to use and much faster imo.

Seren. Better still, Fen

I have to agree with you on this one. FEN is my favorite addon right now.

Do you need Furk or EN to make Fen worthwhile?

Both are good addons. Fen works on more devices though, especially on low end ones (try running Seren on a pi..) and has had massive updates the last month.

Do you know if you can download seasonal packs like Gaia but with Seren? I like to download to my PM cloud and when you hear reports how there are bad/little/no inks or other issues with addons, I just click along with something I like always ready to watch. Thanks

I always keep numerous addons loaded and have done so for years. When one's down, you've got back up.

The comments about how loading both will slow Kodi down, I don't get. Unless your hardware is very old, or very small it has zero effect.

I think either is neat. But to use both would be a horrible water of resources to slow your kodi down..

They work well but both are kind of clunky and slow.. Just my personal opinion.
Havnt been using fen too long but it seems to find plenty of sources and is faster.
But tbh.. I mean venom accomplishes the same thing for the most part.. I guess it's all just preference. I would just pick 1 and roll with it.. at this time I don't see a reason to have more than that.

I think the next build I do i am just going to include 1. Then a few things for sports

Run both, using RD, Orion & Offcloud. GIAI setup is most intense, but GIAI results are #1. New GIAI release in next 2 months
