Most are not pleased for what i could understand. One idiot was actually happy with the decision because now people could drop Raspberry Pis usage (?!?!). Well i guess I'm not updating my Pi 1... Tbh it works fine and I'm finally buying the 3 B+ to substitute it so i guess this will not be a problem (?). Do you devs will continue to update kodi for the Pi 1 Xbian image or will it be left with Leia? :) :) |

RE: Raspberry pi 4 announced... Huge improvements
I noticed my Pi4 updated xbian to kernel 5.x the other day. that's progress, and preparation for kodi v19. With any luck, those devs are thinking ahead to include Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, Apple TV, hulu and whatever other streaming services are big deals lately - In my opinion, that's the way forward if they want to put the add-on devs/hackers out of business until everyone has a smart tv. Open source that DRM stuff...

RE: Raspberry pi 4 announced... Huge improvements
In my opinion, KODI Open Source code is being highjacked from "Libre Software" by Companies coding new features, making old ones difficult to maintain!! Libre Kodi should be forked from Kodi.

Libre Kodi should be forked from Kodi. Hmmm... I don't understand what you are trying to say. Even if a "company" started a close source fork of Kodi how would that impact the open source original project? People would most likely not even used the close source one ( that i guess would not be free). What is "Libre Kodi"? :) :) |

RE: Raspberry pi 4 announced... Huge improvements
what I was trying to say is that people don't seem to have a problem paying for these streaming services, and anyone should be able to view the content of those services legally on any device/HTPC (not simply the major platforms) including kodi/xbian.

Well, i think most people don't know how to setup a Kodi installation... So they buy these China made Android boxes that include Kodi and a lot of piracy add ons :/ ... In fact i know some people that have the knowledge on how to use the soft and OS but they prefer to pay instead of having to "spend" time doing it... ( And they really don't care about PRC spyware or the legality of those add ons). That problem asside, it would be nice to have an official client add on for Netflix on Kodi, but since Netflix, Amazon and HBO are already releasing client apps for every device/OS out there i think they will never support Kodi . :) :) |

I suspect you’re right, and that’s sad. However: the improvements in display and computing technology since kodi was created are -in my opinion- fairly spectacular, stupendous and significant. And that doesn’t even factor in the overall increase in availability of high speed internet. All of these in combination have brought us to the precipice of a revolution in media/entertainment. So the fun is just beginning.

RE: Raspberry pi 4 announced... Huge improvements
8GB Pi4 now
Firmware allows for USB boot drives - YouTubers are strapping m.2 SSDs on 64bit Raspbian kodi v19 will hopefully be a monster...is there anything we community members can do to help devs other than be patient and test betas? |

(and mine does use more than 300MB..but less than 450MB) I'd really like to make the change to a USB boot - SD cards have always made me a bit nervous. |
