Hi and thank you for a lot of good with XBMC/Kodi, but:
There have been some problems with Audio and Video for the Mac version from when I first started with version 13.x, it got worse with all test builds of version 14, it is just as bad with 14.1 and now with 14.2 it is all over the place when it attempt to syncs. Sometimes it works but it is the norm that it don't. I have 4 Macs that all has the same issue with audio sync running last Mavericks and all versions of Mac OS X 10.10 up to a legally obtained Developer version of 10.10.3 with Kodi, especially any DTS format.
I am truly grateful for your hard work but this is getting like a bad joke. How on earth can you call any version stable with this flaw and why has it not been fixed yet? I know you will answer that it will be fixed in version 15 like I read about you fixing it in 14, but nothing! And some of you come across as arrogant when these topics come up. It does not encourage donations..
And why is DTS HD MA 7.1 still reported as 5.1. I let Kodi do the job and I do get a real 7.1 DTS MA HD (Yes, HD sound works just fine on Mac, at least with LPCM!) on my receiver using LPCM (4.3.1) confirmed with DTS MA 7.1 test videos, so that is also a bug in "release/stable" Kodi versions. Why is it so hard to update the GUI to report a correct number of channels with DTS MA when Dolby True HD 7.1 is displayed correctly in the GUI?
I have set aside a for me a big donation, but you will not get it until the Mac OS X audio & video syncs correctly.
Kodi is the best and most versatile Media Center out there, so: Keep up the good work but please fix broken code before releasing it or calling it stable/final.
