I'm super pumped to finally have something better than Nvidia Sheild or Kodi
Honestly, I want to like Kodi, but even this first screenshot looks much better than anything I've been able to muster together in Kodi.
Same here. Kodi's UI was nice back in the days when it was XBMC. These days we have different ideas on usability.
Controlling it with a controller is awful, I had to change a lot of settings and it still jumps to a different scene any time someone accidentally bumps the joystick when picking it up or forgets to use the dpad for 10s rewind
Yeah I feel the same way. I feel like Kodi, unfortunately, makes it harder to use my HTPC rather than easier
Yeah this has been on the books for ages. It's not being developed by KDE's core team and it wasn't making much progress for a while but I'm really happy yo see it come out.
