• I know, I would find it better if there was a tag for "feature request", you could still ignore all feature request tagged issues there, but at least it would be proper issues then (with all the associated benefits)
  • Relevant to this, it looks like I did have a bug issue while trying some proposed solutions (just because I'm interested in this, not because they would be solutions): 
    first Kodi didn't quit anymore and always had to be killed with the process manager, now it quits again while still showing the same console output as before
    but always starts in windowed mode instead of fullscreen. Didn't find anything relevant in the logs so far. Ordinary, non-tech savvy people who don't wish to dedicate a lot of time to this will never put up with this or could manage such problems (and even I don't really have the time for this despite that I think that this problem is of tremendous importance to open source, GNU/Linux and Kodi as well as significant to the Earth environment)
    
    
• I consider this basic functionality not just because it's very useful and makes a lot of sense, but also because this is the or a main way to browse popular alternatives (like in film distributor stores, popular streaming sites, checking TV scheduling or zapping TV channels)
  • btw it would be far better and more relevant here if one could easily switch skins within the GUI, but most people will never find a need for that or will do so even if they happen to know that a specific skin supports this feature, that there are other skins and how/where to switch skins in the GUI
    Edit: and why would you switch skins just for one missing feature...not only do I not know how security for skin code is ensured (e.g. hashsums matching the open source repo), Estuary is sufficient and great otherwise; many users are probably also fine with it as it is in terms of general UI/design
    
    
• This is not about me or any particular problem I'm having or a use-case that's niche but about (substantially) improving Kodi and about the general public (in a realistic practical way). I think this is what many people here misunderstood.
