Cosmetic pussy shit? WTF?
Yeah, you gotta love when developers can't handle negative feedback. Frankly, I don't know why you're subscribed to a thread about 'cosmetic pussy shit.' The sycophant posts are in the release thread, not here.
I guess I'm just disappointed a patch was freely provided and simply not used because developers think it worthless/pointless 'cosmetic pussy shit' to correctly report the movie soundtrack type contained in a file and prefer to leave it wrong than to just cut/paste the provided patch for now until ffmpeg is fixed.
The correct approach to get things done? WTF would that be when providing source code patches isn't enough? Bribery? Everybody bake their own?
Frankly, I see little difference between Gotham and Frodo for my uses (not using Android so things like hardware decoding there don't catch my interest). Other than being able to read DTS in a M4V file, I don't see
that much difference between Gotham and Eden for that matter. I'm sure you do, but I'm just a user looking to play my media library remotely, not use it as a PVR for online video, etc. Organizational improvements like tag reading for video files and/or sort by GENRE would add far far more to XBMC's functionality as a replacement for Apple's own ATV interface than new preference settings (which sounds cosmetic to me). Frankly, I think it would be easier to convince Apple to support 3rd party plugin formats for iTunes/ATV than to get useful new organizational features in XBMC since clearly your developers have no interest in 'cosmetic pussy shit' features. Yes, wading through countless pages of alphabetical listings for 8000+ songs and 1000+ movies instead of genre categorization to break it down further is for manly men!
My issues is NO media player does everything right. Apple has the interface I like for movies, but won't play all my media files (so I can convert and lose quality or use something else like XBMC). XBMC has a nice TV listing (assuming your files are named so the scraper can read them since there's no tagging), but renaming 1000+ movies that are already tagged is too much bother so I exit and use ATV's interface (although that means unplugging a drive and rebooting
with a CrystalHD ATV and losing 1080p support on it (thus requiring either a 2nd ATV model 3 or just browsing through pages and pages of file names instead). Supporting 7.1 sound is sweet for my 7.1 Blu-Ray conversions, but I have to keep a list of which are which or put them in their own directory since they don't display 7.1 in the movie listings (yeah that cosmetic pussy shit problem). I know now that organizational functionality is cosmetic pussy shit so I won't waste my breath in the future. Yes, if I want to learn how to code and spend my weekends programming, I could probably add those features myself for my own copy. I'll keep that in mind.
I'll go now since obviously I'm wasting both my time and yours.
