SW rendering performance has dramatically been degraded. Some forum users forced us to enable it by default - screaming loud and shout, you know.įor good reason. No reason to throw the FireTV out of the window. ![]() Nearly every device has this or that shortcoming. We all know that Android is a heterogeneous market. The Wiki ( ) says: " The main aim for the Android port of Kodi is to foremost target media-players/set-top-boxes/sticks that connect to a large screen television and uses a standard remote control as its main interface device." That sounds like the mere definition of "FireTV" to me. My request is to reduce the necessary fiddling. It does play them perfectly in 18.0 if I fiddle around in advanced settings. Kodi on FireTV played them perfectly until 17.6. Also I disagree about the FireTV "clearly not been designed to play such files". I asked politely about the circumstances and after I read the facts that have been told here I asked politely to add a switch that brings back a deleted feature. I do not know how I deserve to be treated in that manner. So i suggest to find some other device then. ![]() We did not make the decision for you to buy an Amazon device that has clearly not been designed to play such files. I prefer to not throw around the word "stupid" but deleting something that made Kodi work out of the box for anything thrown at it and instead have users fiddle around in advanced settings does not look like a completely mature and understandable decision to me. We also expect users to understand why we do certain things (do not workaround broken firmware by adding stupid switches).Īctually, we are at a point where a perfectly working feature has been removed from Kodi between 17.6 and 18.0. We can expect a lot of thing from Amazon. It doesn't look like a complicated thing to implement. Please reconsider my request to introduce a setting "Disable Mediacodec when playing DVDs". I would prefer not having to fiddle around in settings every time I change the type of content I intend to play. So by removing a "workaround" (I would prefer to call that a "feature") you force me to manually toggle a switch that is hidden in the advanced settings - probably for good reasons. Now it is on by default and I am forced to switch it off manually when playing DVD content. That seems to be what it was before Kodi 18 and I never even noticed its existence - it just worked. I propose to have it on by default unless the content is a DVD. Some want in on by default, some want it off by default. Obviously this Mediacodec topic is a thing that makes people unhappy. FireTV is a vehicle to sell more Amazon content, not a friendly and cooperative environment to run things that tend to sell less Amazon content. From their point of view anything not working in Kodi on FireTV is fine. ![]() Im sorry, but I disagree.: you can't expect Amazon to fix something they don't have any reason to consider broken.
