Yeah, did not feel to do a technical conversation with you, after your posts. And as I did not see _any_ code that was written by you our anyone of OSMC yet - I was not sure I can take you serious.

This was revisited some months ago in the deinterlacing testing thread. The video pll (pll5) is quite capable. So generating fractional pll outside the hdmi tx is our only option. The idea was that the hdmi tx would take the clock already divided by this 1.001. So at the end we should end up with just specifiing correct n/cts values in kernel.

Worked out quite nightmarish (thought the clock was perfectly calculated) ... you cannot fool a non matching audio clock too much and this you forget here. It's not alone about the video doing something, that was "calculated" by you, the chain must match.

You don't want a technical conversation because you obscure fact.

* the video tx is fine, you know just as well as i do you can oerwrite the registers
* you only need to worry about audio clock if you do not know what is in each packet. so bitstream. but you do know in most situation and with libcadec not even a problem for much longer

* 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.

It's not about bringing Kodi to the masses IMO, it's the way it is done. From my understanding OSMC is a operating system built around Kodi, just like OpenElec, but OSMC is hiding this fact a bit while OE is showing this right on the frontpage. This is also a sign of respect to the work of others, which IMO OSMC doesn't show much or at all. Also OE devs contribute upstream while Raspbmc/OSMC to my knowledge has no merged patch/fix in upstream Kodi. And another thing many are pissed about are wrong promises and fooling users (like the changes in RaspBMC that added a fixed CPU load in the skin rather than showing the real CPU load and the fanboys went crazy on how good it was etc).

You also mentioned that OSMC was built rather fast incl a new skin - you know that this skin is based on the work of Hitchers skin? (I at least read that this is the case). So again, based on the work of others and not from scratch. Doing so is fine as it's all open source, but giving credit in a suiteable way would be apropriate IMO.

Personally I don't care much about the fight between Raspbmc/OSMC community and OE - everybody is free to use what he preferrs. My preference is OE because I don't need the debian overhead and I don't like the attitude of OSMC

* hitcher actually works on the osmc skin from what i can see in git repo (he commits to it), so again you are trying to make it seem like osmc is using 'code' (lol gpl), when actually the guy is a dev...

* never seen osmc hide the fact kodi is what runs under osmc. i see it on the about page, on the wiki, in the forums, etc etc. if they said it wasn't supported or the same thing i am sure they would lose a lot of users as people want compatible addons.
