****************************************************************

Kodi doesn't support HW decoding?

Kodi's playback quality lower than your built-in videoplayer?

This is your app.

Main functions:

-Device specific optimizations for faster playback. (HiMedia)

-Mount SMB or NFS share automatically based on video URL, and start playback.

-Stream over HTTP (Every device is supported. May not work for iso files.)

-Map Kodi PVR to supported backend channel numbers, and play in external player.

Some explanations:

Mount CIFS or NFS share:

-----------------------------------------------

Requires root.

Mounts the video's share to /mnt/xbmcwrapper (or any other dir you prefer).

You DON'T need busybox or anything else, only kernel support for mounting.

HTTP-Stream:

--------------------------

A built-in HTTP server streams the video file from the remote share to your video player.

Works on every device.

Image file types are not supported by most players.

You can also use Kodi's HTTP server if you have Remote Control functionality enabled in Kodi. This may use less memory overall, but it is less compatible with most players.

Map Kodi PVR to supported backend channels:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kodi in some cases uses its own id's for TV channels(the number before their name), you can set how to remap these to backend channel id's to play in external player.

On recent tvheadend and kodi versions, you don't need to map channels. Just select TvHeadend as PVR backend, and set the host, and you are all set.
