A few bugs first.
1. Renaming a folder will prompt for an extra scan, picking no will crash kodi and force a reboot.
2. using a usb mouse on the virtual keyboard, you can move the cursor between keys and two keys are highlighted at once, (but the latest highlight counts, even though the cursor is still mostly on the previous item)
- eg. if you move your pointer towards 2 from 1, before you get closer to 2 than 1, 2 will be highlighted and clicking will enter a 2, even though the mouse is coming from 1 and is still mostly on 1 (hope that explains it)
3. Playing movies from NFS doesn't work (for long). I get from 8-20 seconds into a tv episode and the movie pauses. Waiting longer the cursor will freeze. Reboot required or ssh and kill kodi. rinse repeat. (not 100% sure it's kodi's fault, could be my NFS setup, so i'm open to suggestions here).
A few feature requests.
1. When i create a backup, i expect it to include all my settings and my movie/music libraries. This one hurt. When you might as well install a fresh image, it makes backup pointless.
2. Fix default Overscan Settings. Move video calibration out of Expert, when the default is overscan beyond any tv and flatscreen border. Make the default non-overscan and let people expand borders if it's too small. Too small is preferred to unreadable out-of-screen text.
3. Enable samba auth and the default user for the samba server.
4. Fix the samba client so it can browse local networks without setting up custom smb connections. Add a default user? and let us customize a default user/pass to "browse as" with the client.
Hope you'll consider some of these changes. And i'll gladly try and provide more info, debug logs, etc. for the bugs/crashes.
