Hello,
I am a french C++ senior developer and I would like to participate to the new v19 kodi version. I developed intensively for 10 years in C++ for a company and switched to management and quality (10 more years) after that.
I modified the kodi 18.4 kodi code for my own usage to play on a orange Pi zero 256 as a music box with RPC call only. I was inspired by a headless patch but this patch broke the playing functionality (broken events in the GUI). I did the modification and now the kodi runs for weeks in the very tiny configuration like a charm (20Mo RSS rock stable).
During that developing :
- I learned cmake
- I learned cross compiling with distcc (x64 volunteer and armv7 client) combined with ccmake
- I read and understood the kodi code in the xbmc (Application.cpp, events, GUI tricks ...)
- I questioned about the way to get back this functionality to the community
My questions are :
- do you need new developers, and how can I modestly contribute ?
- is that feature interesting for other peoples in v19 ?
- if yes and yes, who can I contact to participate to the new V19 version of kodi ?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Regards,
