Test Kodi versions
« on: April 21, 2017, 09:25:21 PM »
Hello,
I follow to keep new versions of KODI but I do not know of differences between various versions.
Someone can explain the differences between "Krypton armeabi" , "kryptsamsung" , "notsoshitty" , "remv4supportL" ?????

Android Kodi nightly builds are latest builds from source and can be installed on Q5/Q10 Pro, although they might be unstable.

Some info about the other builds here: http://kodi.wiki/view/Development_builds#Other_test_builds

The only one that is relevant for Q5/Q10 Pro is the 'shitty' build, which restores Kodi 16.1 sound system to Kodi 17 and so enables 5.1 audio passthrough in native player.

I also asked about 'Shitty Build' got this reply:

Quote
It is basically Kodi 17 with the audio engine hack from Kodi 16 . They changed the way the audio engine works in Kodi 17. Kodi 17 works more compliant with the way Google wants developers to access the audio mixer. Problem is that with the new way Kodi 17 accesses the audio mixer, on Android 5 and below, no pass through audio is available rendering DTS and Dolby Digital pass through impossible. The "shitty" build uses the hackish way from Kodi 16 to pass through audio making DTS and Dolby Digital once again possible in Kodi 17 on Android devices with a firmware that does not have the proper SDK (yet). Our box is one of those devices.
