@those who are interested in what parts of development I’m doing for kodi
Currently most of intraday announcements from my side go to the german kodinerds forum.
I have learned in the last time, that some of the things I’m doing doesn’t find its way to this important place here, so I’ll try to use this place to inform you whenever there is something wich could be useful for more fun and satisfaction using kodi.
My areas of interest are currently:
– inputstream.adaptive (binary inputstream addon to play DASH and Smoothstream content)
There are numerous addons wich already use this addon, for example amazon prime, skygo / youtube / MediaTheken / Magine / Maxdome.
Currently we are working on netflix, we are doing big steps forward and I guess that we’ll present something in the next few weeks.
– DRM related stuff (widevine / playready / clearkey)
Currently it seems, that major content provider will settle more and more to DRM encrypted media.
For kodi this means, that you either watch this stuff illegally (using torrents) or legally (using your login and display content on a secure path)
DRM development is my personal roadwork against piracy. My goal is to let you login to your content provider in the same manner as you do with your browser / android app and play the content native in kodi.
– ARM / AMLogic rendering pipeline.
I personally use odroid devices (C1 / C2) for testing but also in my living room.
ARM based boards provide a cheap but powerfull and powersaving way to run kodi. The hardware is in general capable to fulfill most of your needs.
There is only a lack of driver support, as ARM/AMLogic focusses mainly on Android devices. In my spare time I discuss bugs / features directly with AMLogic with the goal to get best possible user experience with those boards.
Right now my focus is on linux OS (ubuntu / LibreELEC), but my work will be continued for Android devices soon.
Long story short: If something breaking new appears regarding the areas above, I’ll let you know here,
