Hi @ll,
really disappoints me, what I read about Kodi Support.
It was and is my highest prio to use the PINE64 as a Mediacenter Device.
In my living room, I have a NVIDIA Shield Android TV Box, which is absolutely great - and looking on the Kodi Android Hardware page - Kodi is fully supported and works with all type and kind of video.
The Allwinner A64 SoC is listed with questionmarks only - four times in the row.
Not saying it won´t work - but at least not supporting the hardware directly for e.g. HW decoding.
If that is the case, the PINE64 would be really useless for me, as I wanted to build a simple Android TV device for my office & guest room TV.
So really, it would be great if you can get in touch with the Kodi team to support them with Allwinner A64 HW support - or work on the HW implementation into Kodi yourself.
As it is an open source project, everything is open and available for own adaptions.
To really make the PINE64 board famous and successful: It needs a full Kodi support.
Many thanks and best regards
greetings from Frankfurt/Germany
