Maybe I misunderstand what you're recommending then. My understanding is MythTV (at least for Android devices) is just a front end to the MythTV DVR/server that you need running on another device.
Is there a MythTV app that is a straight media player that doesn't require the backend?

Android aside. How is a front end specific to a DVR program a replacement for a fully functioning media player?
I'm really confused what you're recommending.

mythfrontend plays videos as well as recorded TV. ie it IS a fully functioning media player.

I'm really stoked to have this feature in the future. Until then, can someone recommend a player that gives the best experience for lecture style YouTube videos (on Windows), that has audio speedup and pitch normalization maybe even skip silence? Remote support wouldn't hurt either. Thanks.

For Windows, VLC player all the way. It runs choppy on my Android TV, but on a PC it's smooth as glass and runs with the audio up to 4x speeds. +/- on your keypad lets you adjust the speed, but it should be mappable to a remote.

Been a while since ive been on here, so were kinda back to square one? official kodi devs just dont want to hear about it? maybe we should have a petition? aahah
its kind of sad that kodi can do so much, but is really lacking in this one department, which if all the devs got together, and their infinite coding knowledge, they can easily come up with a proper solution.

This function was added into the Milhouse nightly builds.
update:
I just checked and the option is still in the settings but it no longer works. Ill report it.
I had omxplayer enabled I don't know when I did that it does work sorry.

An update to my suggestion, VLC runs choppy on my Android TV from a USB flash drive, but via DLNA using Plex it's completely smooth.
Unfortunately, I can't make VLC work with Serviio my preferred DLNA server.
Sounds like this is a dead issue for Kodi.

Trust me, being annoying about this and bumping the thread like that will only discourage the developers. They work on this in their free time, on features they are interested in. They don't work on or care about what is "most in demnand" or what slashdot cares about. That's how a volunteer open source project works.
