Not sure about the code side of things, all I can report is the difference on the same machine running lite and 6.6c. Regardless of what handles playback (making it choppy), the fact is 6.6c plays back choppy on my MX2 G-Box's, and Lite does not. In 6.6c, I have all fancy options turned off. Both tests done from a freshly rebooted box.
6.6c = Choppy Playback, stalls in transitioning screens/channels/EPG/exiting the program.
Lite = No issues at all
Maybe 6.6c uses more RAM or resources or something, but the fact remains that the end result is the same. Really, the code shouldn't matter to the end user... just whether or not the program runs smoothly. I'm an iOS developer, and I know sometimes it's easy to tell people they are wrong, because we know how the code functions, but seriously, I'm just comparing 2 scripts, one that works great and one that doesn't. It might be my hardware, but if so, that shows that one is using more system resources or something.
Not sure how that is Bias. It's just an observation of how one runs versus the other. I have no attachment to either program, I just want one that runs smoothly on my devices. Currently, one does, and one does not. It is what it is. I'm not complaining, just pointing out my observations. I've even donated (still no code after 2 days... Lunatixz, have you gotten my emails?). I'm just glad that Lunatixz puts in the work that he does. If one version doesn't work for me, thats fine, especially if it works for everyone else. It's a free script, so anything is better than nothing, and I appreciate all of the work that has gone into the script(s).
