The janbar plugin works best with 0.28 so I don't see how janbar can stop keeping it up to date.

What do you base that on? The pvr.mythtv addon is compatible with 0.27 and, in my experience, works perfectly well with it. What do you find wrong with it?

Nobody has to run mythbackend 0.28. If they do, they don't need to slavishly update it without regard for breaking the Kodi addon.

The watched status not working for one. I want to use kodi and mythtv. My 4yo son relies on the watched status. Thus 0.28 is best choice. And most of the time its completely stable. I have a few issues now and then but no biggie.

Agree avoiding updating 0.28 keeps it working but I like to keep it up to date and I have mythweb as fallback for the few times where it does not. My son can click the speaker icon and will immediately play the video in gnome videos
