Unseriöse Anbieter und Erweiterungen machen Kodi zu schaffen
« Antwort #107 am: 16 Februar, 2016, 13:57 »
Die Kodi-Entwickler haben die Faxen dicke. Der Markt wird mit vermeintlich Kodi-tauglichen Streaming-Boxen überschwemmt, illegale Erweiterungen ziehen das Projekt in den Schmutz. Abmahnungen und Community-Unterstützung sollen es richten.

Einer der wichtigsten Gründe für die Umbenennung des XBMC Media Center in Kodi war, die Kontrolle über die Namensrechte an ihrem Projekt zu erlangen. Zuvor leitete sich der Namen von Microsofts Spielkonsole Xbox ab, sodass die XBMC Foundation keine Namensrechte eintragen konnten und sogar damit rechnen mussten, von anderen Firmen abgemahnt zu werden.

Umgekehrt konnten sie selbst nicht verhindern, dass irgendwelche Hersteller Geräte mit angepassten, meist kaputten Versionen von XBMC verkaufen, über die sich die Kunden ärgeren. Das Problem hat sich sogar noch verschärft, nicht zuletzt dank der rasant wachsenden Beliebtheit der plattformübergreifenden Software. Die Folge: Noch mehr Beschwerden über fehlerhafte Installationen im Kodi-Support-Forum, für die das Kodi-Team nichts kann.

Schlimmer sei allerdings die wachsende Zahl Angebote, die Kodi in illegale Machenschaften hineinziehen. Sie werben bei dubiosen Online-Shop, eBay und bei YouTube, dass man mit Kodi auf angepassten Android-Sticks kostenlos Pay-TV und Kinofilme streamen könne. Das hat unter anderem dazu geführt, dass Amazon Kodi nach kurzer Zeit wieder aus dem Amazon App Shop geworfen hat.

Darum will die XBMC Foundation nun Abmahnungen gegen unseriöse Anbieter erwirken. Außerdem bitten sie die Community dringend um Unterstützung, um den Namen wieder rein zu waschen, da einige Kernentwickler kurz davor seien, das Handtuch zu werfen.

Update: Die Nachricht der Kodi-Entwickler hatte am gestrigen Tag offenbar zu einem Denial-of-Service-Angriff auf die Webseite geführt, die daraufhin für mehrere Stunden nicht mehr zu erreichen war.

Kore – Android remote v2.1.0 Update
« Antwort #112 am: 13 Juli, 2016, 19:45 »
It has been a while since we talked about our official Android remote and to the outside all seemed quiet. Nothing is further from the truth. We are happy to announce that our official Kore remote is getting an update.  Our developers SyncedSynapse and poisdeux have been putting a lot of work on including new features and improving what was already there. Additionally it’ s also great to see that developers from outside of the team are helping getting it better. Many thanks go out to them as well. This is what opensource is all about.


From seeing the number of Google Play downloads we can tell the community loves the Kore remote as well since it’s nearly at 780.000 active users. This is great news too see a lot of you are using it and makes the effort put in it extra worthwhile. Hopefully this with this new update the numbers of users will grow even more.

This v17 release which the users have named Krypton features a huge amount of rework in various areas like video playback, live TV & PVR, music library, skinning and more. All these areas underwent heavy changes which are now coming to an end and ready for the masses. This means this will be the last alpha and we’ll soon be pumping out beta builds at a steady rate so the broader audience can give Kodi v17 a try. However let’s first focus on what changed this past month.

Skin features:

As you have noticed we included two new default skins. Estuary for regular use and Estouchy for touchscreen devices. At the same time we made sure some limitations we had to deal with in the past are now solved or at least improved. One of those was that the context menu (right click) didn’t work on any media items that were displayed on the home screen. Well now you can call up the menu like in library view.
Add-ons can now include screenshots which will be visible within Kodi itself to give you an idea how they will look.
More more changes were done in different areas however we’ll let discover those yourself.

Music library:

This section received a lot of love during the past year to get it up to speed again and it’s certainly catching up to the video section. Some of the improvements include better tag scanning, browsing speed ups and a lot more tag fields to be used and shown. You music enthousiast will certainly be happy with these changes so we encourage you to try it out and leave you feedback on our Kodi forum.

Live TV and PVR (Personal Video Recorder):

To make it easy i just copied the list from one of our developers on the changes that happened in this section.
Extend Kodi eventlog with PVR events, namely ‘create/delete timers and timer rules’ and ‘start/stop recordings’.
Guide window: Allow timer creation for EPG in recent past.
Timer window: Add option to hide disabled timers.
Separate windows for “Timer Rules” and “Timers”.
Guide & Search window: Add ‘Edit timer’/'Edit timer rule’ to context menu.
Timer rules window: Echo up important Status info to Timer Rules.
Guide window: Use timer logos depending on its state (needs skin support).
Added enhancement and improvements to the PVR add-on API (connection state change handling, asynchronous EPG updates, and more – needs support from the different PVR add-ons!).
Channels window: Add support for sorting channels by ‘last played’.
Recordings window: Separate TV and Radio recordings.
Guide window: performance improvements, especially on first open.
Guide & Search window: Add ‘Delete timer rule’ to context menu.
Add “ShowTimerRule” builtin, so one for instance can map a key to open the “add timer” dialog which is pre-filled to create a epg-based timer rule.
Rework PVRManager: add-ons are now owned by add-on system.
Make instant recording behavior configurable (fixed-time vs. current show vs. interactive).
Timers: Allow to change timer type for existing timers. Makes it possible to for example ‘transform’ a timer for one episode of a show to a series recording (timer rule) for that show.
Recordings window: make ‘group items’ setting persistent.
JSON-RPC api: Sync pvr types fields with current implementation.
Lots of bug fixes in all Don’t forget Game controller add-ons this timeareas.

Game controller add-on:

In the past it has always been a pain to configure game controllers within Kodi. There were some XML files people could download and copy to a certain location. This has now been solved by making them add-ons (like almost everything else) which you can install with a click of a button. This rework of the controllers was needed for retro gaming feature which may land somewhere in the future. No sadly that doesn’t mean retro gaming will be available in v17 but we keep our hopes up for the future.

3dlut and simple ICC linking support for color correction:

Developer laurimyllari added a ColorManager class that supports loading madVR 3DLUT files, and loading ICC display profiles, creating source profiles and linking them. Users can use this to correct their display response with a 3DLUT file, or emulate other displays (with whitepoint, primaries and gamma selectable at runtime) with an ICC profile of their own display. The ICC profile linking is still work in progress, but is functional and shows what can be done with it.

Other improvements:

Well as always we did the usual round of bugfixes and stability improvements that happen during the entire cycle so let’s not bore you with those. Though here are some mention worthy improvements form that list.
Added “Copy to Kodi” functionality on iOS which adds the option to the iOS share sheet of apps to “Open In” Kodi
Bump a variety of external libraries which Kodi uses to function which includes ffmpeg 3.1
On Windows all the external libraries were rebuild with Visual Studio 2015 and received some DLL loading cleanup which hopefully solve some startup problems on some installations
Video playback got further improvements in the wake of the big change from DVDplayer to VideoPlayer

We are excited to announce the first beta of Kodi 17, codenamed Krypton. Kodi 17 features a huge amount of work in areas like video playback, live TV and PVR/DVR, the music library, skinning and more. It features a new default skin, as well as a new default touchscreen skinned, named Estuary and Estouchy, respectively.

The changes between Alpha 3 and Beta 1 are mainly limited to minor fixes and under the hood improvements, so for this first beta, we’ll instead take some time to review a few of the really visible changes in Kodi 17.

WHATS' NEW:

Privacy policy:

Your privacy is an important factor that the XBMC Foundation and Team Kodi considers in the development of all of our software and services. We are committed to being transparent and open. This Privacy Policy explains generally how we receive information about you, and what we do with that information once we have it. As such we have added this privacy policy to our website and also made it available from within Kodi itself to read.

Force music tag re-scan:

With Kodi v17 a lot has changed in regards to the music library and part of this has been better tag scanning and usage. For this to work to it’s full potential it’s mandatory for your music files to be re-scanned and the available tags to be extracted. After you upgrade and enter the music library a choice will be giving to re-scan now or later. As this re-scan can take up quite some time and resources you can answer NO and continue browsing your library. Once you exit library and re-enter you will be prompted again asking to re-scan. Once you answer YES Kodi will start scanning all your music files and extract the tag data they contain to a certain degree. As mentioned this process takes quite some time depending on the size. During this time Kodi might be somewhat slower than normal. Do note that this will not reset your library to a new state or that you will loose data. It will simply update what is available and will leave all play counts and the rest as they were.

Estuary and Estouchy: next generation:

Past March we announced that v17 would feature a brand new default skin called Estuary and since then it has been included in every build we have released. During this period our developers kept improving on how it looked, behaved and made use of the latest features that got included from what is shaping up to be the final release of v17. Since more and more users also started to use these development builds we started to receive a lot of feedback, where most was positive there was also some negative or at least constructive comments. As we are not deaf to these comments and try to create the best experience, our skin developer phil65 went back to the drawing board and rethought on how to incorporate this feedback into wat should become the final skin. With some help from ryanmah for the mockups, ichabod-fletchman for helping out this didn’t resulted in a total rewrite but simply reworking some parts of how the skin looks and behaves. The underlying skin code still remains the same for a very large part except for the parts where a smarter way of doing this magic was found. The visual top layer what you will see should still feel quite familiar if you have used any past v17 builds as not everything was redone.
At same time the touch skin Estouchy also got matched by our senior skin developer ronie to match the Estuary look.
