I am finding this add-on works great except one thing, I find the picture is not smooth esp. on sweeping shots it seems to stutter a bit in framerate maybe? If I exit kodi and open chrome it does not seem so bad. I thought it might be Video acceleration issue but I enabled software only and it still plays smoother than in KODI. Is anyone else seeing something similar?

Youre right, it's a double dash (not a single as i thought first). I use the Amber skin. I'll try later with confluence and report back.

Unfortunately, It doesn't work in confluence either.
Yeah I love Amber for its intuitive simpleness (but not too simple) and great shelf. I also make a custom main menu item for Netflix, pointing to Netflixbmc. You'd swear Netflix was a native app.

Chrome on Linux does not support videoacceleration. Also there is some overhead in using Linux Mint itself. I remember trying out Mint myself, and I gotta say that Kodibuntu works better. Espescially if you have a slow cpu.

Yeah it says it is using hw video decoding, but it's actually not true. I'm not familiar with amd a8. Software decoding,while it is multithreaded according to Google, is largely singlethreaded I believe.
