Many people have been signing up and posting here and they have 1 post so I thought I would do the same and join under anon
@MediaPi is weird. He started the thread and now he is concerned about negativity. I would consider that fair except either he or someone else edited his post because that is not what he posted on launch day. To then have the nerve to say it's too negative is funny and astounding. Plus you have a history of piracy: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid1970802 so I suspect you don't like actually paying for anything of value. I'm surprised Kodi so closely aligns with you
I think what most people here are saying is to try and bait Sam into saying something or wasting his time. Looking at GitHub I noticed a few things today. He seems to commit almost constantly, while you guys seem to just try and rain on his parade with hate posts.. Really sad. Especially some of the workarounds he has to fix in Kodi too.. I noticed that Soli said OSMC took two years and he could've done it in two days. Earliest commit I find for OSMC is in July 2014.. But if you can bring OSMC out for all platforms with that lovely GUI and addon in 2 days then why don't you join the team -- two days isn't much of your time correct, so Soli, do it! Sarcasm aside, I don't think you've really tried OSMC or you'd see it's not 'barebones' Kodi. Let's see: there are lovely installers, excellent driver (and kernel support), a skin, a great setup addon etc. It's not really even Kodi anymore is it? Try it and tell me what you could have done in two days that the OSMC have done.
Koying: one minute it's a fork, then it's a wrapper... I don't think you even know what OSMC is. I think Koying is worried about a potential Android fork. He didn't tell you this but he runs SPMC which is like Kodi but with some improvements for Android. Koying is a projectionist it seems. He talks about upstreaming a lot but he maintains his own branch of Kodi and doesn't bother to PR. Anyway, you mention you're a 'proponent of free...'. When I last tried to post here the thread was locked. Is Sam a mod here, otherwise, I'll assume Team Kodi locked this and tried to censor good reviews (as they started to come out around that time) and reopened it later to start more of a frenzy.
Raspbmc is mentioned everywhere. Same with OSMC. Isn't that a sign? Raspbmc does what Kodi can't and doesn't care about doing. As others said, OSMC does not deflect support on to you guys. Maybe this is why you're irritated. I'd bet a lot of Raspbmc and OSMC users don't even know what Kodi is. It says supported by Kodi on the site, but you still find problems with it.
i'll bet hundreds of raspbmc users like myself have seen this thread and felt angry inside. All Sam has ever done is push kodi out to people and he has always been honest and helpful. his team have done the same. And now you are repaying them with this...
When you look at this thread, we see some simple and obvious facts:
* Koying doesn't like the idea of an Android port of OSMC and he's also insecure about not being credited for i.MX6. As the only developer of Android, he feels a certain privilege and wants to retain this.
* sraue -- well sraue is sraue.. an openelec developer who spends more time talking about why OE is better than Raspbmc but doesn't actually prove why or listen to improvements. I've joined the openelec channel before and mentioned legitimate issues about my TBS driver but just got yelled at.. Can't wait for osmc on x64 now.
* Martijn is probably trying to create a common enemy as a project leader..
* zaphod does not even own a vero. Imagine the cubox is 100% identical to the Vero, it still puts in to question, why is he posting so much crap in this thread? Maybe Vero will improve things for i.MX6, maybe it won't but with his constant posting he is likely making Sam less likely to want to fix these issues for these owners. You even messaged me on the forum to invite me to this thread (thanks!), but I find it a bit creepy you messaged me. All I did was buy a Vero, and I bought it knowing full well about Kodi and i.MX6, but I did not want to get dragged in to this and I don't know who the heck you are. Leave OSMC to do their work and I'm sure good things will happen.
* fritsch -- I know what a device tree is. Dropping a new one in based on a cubox and trying to boot it will obviously work, that's how *device tree* is meant to work. It's meant to boot devices when given a flat file. If the Vero DTB doesn't boot on the CuBox, it's obviously different. Fractional modesetting is also possible you probably just do not know how. There is already support for fractional modesetting (1080i50) which I am sure you know uses fractional pixel clock 74.25/1.001
* kodi team: comments here are bad, but endoresements, tacit or explicit are even worse. Will avoid Kodi now. kaijser, nate, koying: despicable and invalidate the work of many others who have only tried to bring kodi to the masses.
