Kodi's official DRM stance
#19
Here's my 2 cents, (which doesn't add up to a whole lot),...I would absolutely welcome any sort of OFFICIAL add-on that would enable the playback of DRM media. In all the years that I've used Kodi I've also had a satellite TV service of some sorts, until recently. After cancelling our dish subscription in favor of Netflix and Prime, I was surprised that there weren't any functioning add-ons to incorporate these services cleanly into Kodi. As of right now I would be held to two options: watch the subscription stuff on just our Sony with Android TV or upgrade the Pi's to either a Shield or Fire TV. The upgrades wouldn't be a big deal and probably be welcomed over the underpowered Pi 2's. But the issue would still remain...having to close Kodi, open other app, watch content. Not really a big deal either but man would it be nice to have it all inside of Kodi itself. Unfortunately I'm not a programmer of ANY sorts so I wouldn't have the slightest clue on how this would be implemented. I would leave that in the hands of the Kodi development team. What I do know is that by working with the LEGIT media streaming providers, i.e. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, might just be what the Kodi name needs these days. Youtube proves that any idiot with a video recording device can put out half-assed "informative" videos on how to illegally stream content via whatever crap-ass add-on-of-the-month. These guys are just as bad as the shit-birds selling the loaded Kodi boxes. It's all crap...they are running Kodi through the mud. It will be jackasses like this that will END Kodi by one means or another. The way things are right now, with all of the illegal streaming add-ons, shitty Kodi forks, set-up wizards, loaded Kodi boxes, can't go on forever. The devs need to take matters into their own hands. After all, this is your baby. Do with it what you like. Yeah sure there will be critics no matter what stance and direction you take...WHO CARES! These forums are filled with meathead people bitching about software they didn't pay for not playing the content they didn't pay for. It's time to clean up the mess that unfortunately others have made for Kodi. I myself appreciate everything the devs do for me, along with the skilled skinners (jurialmunkey and others). I want Kodi to be here for the long haul!
