still no fix? been using kodi for a long time and i've spoken highly of kodi, but after seeing those arrogant and disrespectul replies by the team, i have lost all respect for kodi and wont ever recommend it.
way how you blame it on "banned addons", addons have NOTHING to do your bad and unoptimized programming. addons do not make interface lag.
it lags, because you, the devs, are too lazy to optimize it. you are rich and all run supercomputers, so you cant bother testing it on more realistic computers that people use for movies. even if i had a powerful laptop, i would not use it, because it costs me too much in electricity. i used to run a secondary pc as media center, but it takes too much electricity, i pay like 30 eur a month just to run that pc, while laptop is 10 or below. some power hungry gaming laptop would easily top that 30 a month and you expect people to WASTE money on some super computer just to run kodi's interface??
i noticed this pattern on all "modern" programs and websites, where "modern" just means make it "gigantic, dont optimize, slow and resource hungry".
modern should mean that its well optimized and will run on win xp like a dream, that's what MODERN should mean, but nowday society's understanding of "modern" is completely the opposite, they just make things worse and worse.
kodi is just another program that will forever be stuck on version 18 for me, because anything higher lags and is un-usable. i cant even browse thru my movies without having to wait couple seconds before moving between folders and/or going up/down the list, its so sluggish and slow.
also kodi 20 crashes a lot, first audio gets stuck and then entire kodi crashes. NEVER had this with 18 or below in 5+ years of using it.
and to top it off, kodi purposly removes older downloads and FORCES people to use that latest slugfest that is not usable, its almost as if kodi's devs want this program to die out and not be used anymore.
i get it its free, but WHY MAKE IT WORSE? as i said, i used to speak highly of kodi, but after trying v20 and seeing this topic, i lost all respect for kodi.

or how about learn to optimize? explain to me again, why is version 18 and below working fine and later versions lag?
badly optimized programs are not an excuse to force people to use super expensive hardware. i can play movies in 4k just fine using vlc or bsplayer, so why would i want to WASTE money on buying super computer just to run kodi's interface? can you not see how dumb this sounds?
bottom line here, is that devs need to start making programs better and smoother, not make it hog the resources only beause modern computers can handle it.
thats as dumb as building roads only for ferraries and saying "dont use prehistoric cars". not everyone has millions to buy new laptop every year just so that you an visit extremely resource hungry website or watch a simple GUI that could easily be made to run on commodore.
now some hateful moderator will probably ban me, but i really dont care. i just wanted to come here and tell you all the truth. we all know that truth hurts and people cant handle the truth, so paint yourself a colorful unicorn and stare at that,but know that ignoring the reality will not change it.
