Kodi 16 has been released! First impressions

[juanca2000]

Hello all

Just a little message to thank father_mande for his own version of Kodi with PVR.
As I don't know anything about linux and commands I would not be able to use kodi without his version. 1000x thanks a lot !.
Still don't understand why after so many requests on the forum Qnap is not including them (probably my lack of knowledge of limitations)

I was using up to recently the version 15 and will try to update to mykodi16.1 as kodi provided by qnap is useless for me as I need at least one of the PVR missing.

Thanks again

I have updated kodi to 16 from 15.2.1 and occurs a strange stuff during playback of a tv show... after 10 minutes a little window appear down right of the screen, its a thumbnail image of another tv show i have, with indicated the number of episode "1x01"

Any advise?
Thank you

As any chroot (even in a LXC) ... you can lost some memory (due to duplicate libraries but it's small) ... but performances are exactly the same not better but not reduce ... than the QNAP's can do ...
% of CPU for ex. is the same for kodi in Linux Station or Kodi in HD_Station (remind it's ALSO a chroot) ... a chroot DON'T add by itself overhead ... a LXC can limit the resource available for the chroot if you want ... but not add overhead ...

This is really good to know. Now I fell like giving Linux Station a chance. My main use will be Kodi and emulators. The first I've already seen there. The second I'll have to try myself. Totally noob, let's see what is going to happen.

Not sure how, but after some fiddling here and there, I do have IPTV Simple Client with the Kodi that I installed via HD Station.

Hi,

If I update firmware to 4.3.3 64bit, will I lose access to Kodi 16 that came pre installed ?

if so, just install a new one from community sources
