I've moved from Windows / Kodi to Openelec. Does this forum support Openelec anymore? Do I read and post on the OpenElec dedicated website with formums?
I know, I know - dumb question, but I just don't get it.

LibreElec is now the standard over Openelec in my opinion. Going from Openelec to Libreelec is pretty simple.

Na, not dumb. You just haven't heard :-)
Some (most?) Devs from OE moved on with Libreelec. Pretty much an up to date fork and it's well-supported.

OE is just a one man band now consisting of just the original founder of the project, the rest of the OE team disagreed with how the project was being managed so jumped ship, they forked the OE code and have gone in their own direction under the LibreElec banner.
OE has not long released a build with Kodi v16 with no sign of a build including v17, however LE are in the final stages of releases their build including v17 (in RC at the moment) so are your best bet for an up to date stable build.

If your question isn't OS specific or about drivers or hardware decoders or something, we'll probably answer the question either way though. Above a certain level, Kodi is Kodi.

I migrated from OpenElec to LibreElec using John Large - Technology, Hardware & Web Development Blog. It went without a hitch! That usually never happens for me. Thanks, everyone.
