Before the Aeon MQ 6 get ready, I already have some ideas for the future Aeon 7 and so I'm starting to write code. What I can say is that there will be changes in the main menu. The top menu will undergo a restructuring in order to optimize the loading of the collection window. A new way of customizable view will be the big news at first, but have a lot of good to come. We will find ourselves together again in another project.
There is no available build at this time, the main focus is still the Aeon MQ 6. Stay tuned for any news.
Dat hij eerst maar 6 afmaakt lol Die duurt al 2jaar !

Mooie vergelijking
RPi2 - Seamless playback of 3D via Kodi internal dvdplayer/videoplayer - Excellent PQ, unmolested, output as is from videos - Perfect framerates, especially the most important 23.976 (majority of movies & TV shows) - 3D support for both ISO's and MVC MKV's - Some artifacts exist (not all 3D ISO's): green pixellation and random stutters (latter seems like at points where bitrates peak in BD rips) - The best support you could ask for
Update: The Pi2 green pixellation issue is being worked on.
HiMedia Q5 - Video playback (including 3D) via external player solution (not seamless w/Kodi, but not bad either) - Excellent PQ, leveraging Imprex Processing Engine (a Darbee Darblet-like video processor) - 23.976 is only supported for 2D. 3D ISO's play at 24.000 (some microstutters are noticeable) - Only 3D ISO's supported, not MVC MKV's - Fairly good support (wish it was faster, with more frequent updates)

OpenElec 6.0 met Kodi 15.2 is ondertussen uitgekomen. Mensen met een Chromebox kunnen best upgraden naar een custom OpenElec build met een nieuwe (superieure) rendering engine. Meer info op: http://kodi.wiki/view/Chromebox en http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=231955.
Bijkomend voordeel is dat er ook een aantal andere fixes zijn. Met de normale OpenElec 6 draait mijn fan bv aan 100% na ontwaken uit suspend...

Bestaat er een plugin om settings uit de "advancedsettings.xml" aan te passen ? Ik wil zaken als caching/buffering eens op disable zetten etc. Het betreft hier een Android platform met daarbovenop Kodi 15.2

Kodi 16.0 beta 1 – Jarvis is getting ready
15Nov 21 Comments » Posted By: Martijn on Nov 15, 2015 in Pre-Release
Only three weeks ago we announced 15.2 which is the last release of the Kodi version 15 range and now we’re announcing the first beta of version 16. What does this means for users? That after four months of alpha versions we have changed to the beta stage and working towards a final Kodi 16 release. The past four months the developers worked hard behind the scenes on further improving what is already a great piece of software. Lot’s of code clean-up and improving stability, with a dash of features added here and there. To not bore every one with all the technical changes we’ll dive into some of the most noticeable newly added features. DirectX 11 upgrade 
One of our developers afedchin took on this task and completely revised our DirectX 9 implementation and upgraded it to the more current standard of DirectX 11. Don’t worry if you still have an older card, we only use low level features so you don’t need to run to the shop for new gear. So why is this so important? The old DirectX 9 implementation we were still using was done in a way that it could fail for newer videocard drivers. By updating it to DX11 proper support is assured for the newer video cards as well of a whole lot of other improvements across the board. These few lines written here don’t even do the work done on this justice but let me assure you it was of great importance for the existence of Kodi on the Windows platform. 
4:3 Non-linear Stretch It’s perhaps a bit late in coming, but Kodi finally supports stretching 4:3 content to 16:9 in a way that doesn’t warp the content that’s occurring in the center of the screen. Finally, you’ll be able to watch Friends, Seinfeld, Cheers, and Duck Tales in full screen without the awkward screen stretching from the past. 
Event logging Have you ever added your folder of movies to Kodi and then discovered, sometimes weeks later, that a movie never made it in? A solution for issues like that is finally starting to take shape. Event logging is an option that tracks some events and shows these in a chronological order in system settings -> logging. By the time of the final release of Kodi 16, we will still have not refined what will actually be shown in that list as it currently only adds the basic “notifications”. Ultimately, we think this may become an incredibly useful feature, as you’ll finally be able to see all of the things Kodi is doing and, in some cases, failing to do. More to follow on this feature in Kodi version 17.

Split up skin settings One long awaited change is splitting up skin settings from the core Kodi settings. In the past all skin settings and Kodi settings were saved in one big file. What’s the problem you might ask? Well fact is that the more skins you installed and tried out the bigger the file grew all loading it takes a tiny bit of time. Additionally it wasn’t easy to start fresh with Kodi settings without also losing all you skin customisations. Now all is split up like we already had done for all other add-ons, you can now easily remove Kodi settings and keep the skins settings intact. Additionally you can also just copy the skin/add-on settings to any other Kodi installation and they would instantly have the same settings as you had given the fact you also have installed them there. On upgrade from any previous Kodi or XBMC version to 16.0 we will process and convert the file without you even noticing. All will be done automatically. More information: http://kodi.wiki/view/Userdata -> “user_data” Image resource add-ons Although not of real importance to end-users, it’s really convenient for our skin developers. Before each skin had to include all the images it wanted to show. For example most skins show the studio or recordlabel when browsing library. Each skin would have to include these images for it work and as such each skin would have to update the included images. On average this came down to about ~20Mb of files that were shipped with each skin. By putting that into separate add-ons all skins can now make use of the same resource add-ons if they wish without needing to care for updating the images any more. This cuts down download size of skins on install/update and the image add-ons can be updated separate from the skins itself. This makes handling skins much easier and less resource intensive. Long Press More and more hardware companies are coming out with remote controls with a very limited button set. In particular, all current Android TVs are lacking a dedicated context menu button altogether. To deal with this, we’ve taken a page from the touchscreen UX and added a long press feature to remote controls. Now, if you press and hold the OK/Enter button for a few seconds, you will pull up the context menu. In the future, long press may be extended for additional functionality. For a better view of what this means, see the following video.
Android Surface Rendering The Android platform has always been a bit special as it’s still maturing and this change shows that. Some newer devices that can do UHD or 4K playback really well lack the power to also create the Kodi interface at that resolution, and this creates kind of a problem. The end result was that the we either had to downscale the video to a lower resolution to make sure the interface was snappy, or show full size video but the device might not be able handle the high resolution interface. This change allows us to create the Kodi user-interface in a different resolution than the resolution we do video playback, so what happens now is that the interface is displayed at 1080p, and the video will actually be output at the 4K resolution if the device supports it as we let the chip-set do the work instead of the processor. Important to mention is that this doesn’t apply to AMLogic devices with proper permissions as these will still use amcodec. Any other Android device that is not able to do “android surface rendering” has not implemented the standard Android MediaCodec API in the proper way. Sadly we have to take this route because the Android eco-system has become too big of a maze to support and we will only implement what we feel is the way forward, this means that we will only follow the official Android platform methods, and we will no longer implement any hacks or workarounds. If the device you have is not compatible, then we strongly advise that you ask your device manufacturer to properly implement these functions in the device’s firmware, it may be harsh but we as Team Kodi are not responsible for incomplete firmware created by these device manufacturers. Removal of libstagefright With the Android platform becoming more mature regarding audio/video with the MediaCodec implementation it was time to say goodbye to libstagefright. The old implementation for audio and video is called libstagefright and has been in the media several times this year, this method has become very outdated and the implementation wasn’t the best, as such we have removed the support for this and will fully focus on MediaCodec. This means that for certain devices this will be a step back for Kodi usage, or perhaps Kodi might even become unusable if they have firmware which doesn’t make proper use MediaCodec. We’re sorry that this is happening but keeping support for libstagefright is hurting further progress, stability and puts a too large support burden on the our Android developer, so we hope you will all understand this decision. Add-on manager changes In the ongoing quest to improve our our add-on manager several changes where done in the overall handling of each add-on. These changes include the following:
Goodbye karaoke Sadly we had to say goodbye to the karaoke feature that was hidden in Kodi. None of the team did really know how it worked, if it still worked and how it was integrated into Kodi. Because it was still part of Kodi every skin also had to support this feature which takes quite some work. As such we decided to remove it as whole. It may reappear back in the future because there are now better ways of integrating it back as an add-on. It would only take a developer some interest in getting this done. Other Important Changes:

. Jarvis werkt best al heel goed/stabiel, ben er eigenlijk nog niet echt problemen mee tegengekomen. Maar ik kijk eigenlijk vooral uit naar de volgende (v17) waar de hele videoplayer wordt herschreven en oa. support voor HD-audio passthrough op Android wordt ingebakken.

Wat gebruiken de members hier om te navigeren in Kodi. Ik ben immers bezig om te 'leren' werken met Kodi op m'n Nvidea Shield.Ik heb zo'n controller en een ab van shield zelf maar het is imo niet echt handig. Hebben jullie een draadloze keyboard en muis ofzo ?
