Why another "Addons 4 Kodi"?
Since all "Addons 4 Kodi" communities are on huge instances (.world, .ml) and the one on .ml seems extra dead, I decided to put one on here.
Why here?
I develop and troubleshoot kodi addons in my free time. This community is for discussion and mutual help. Feel free to post which addons you like and dislike, which work well for you and which dont. Dont forget to mention the version you are using and the platform.
Rules
- As always on lemmy.giftedmc.com, chatiquette/netiquette applies.
- Also, no politics or other wildly off topic things.
- The language used in this community is english so please only post in english. This has moderation and usability reasons as not every client app has translation built in.
- Please abstain from senseless hating and other forms of trolling.
Have fun and feel free to feedback

Hi there! I‘m using composite for plex. You are right though. Wifi is no good for 1080 plus. I have wired my living room pi which plays 1080, with no problems ever since. The bedroom pi with 720p on wifi works perfectly as well.
The important part here is that we need to improve on kodi/its addons because the pi can actually do a lot imo.
From a poweruser/hobbydev perspective, there could be a lot of reasons for issues. I do think the python base isnt insanely fast, the hardware does not seem to be fully utilized by the video addons so there is room upwards. If wifi is so problematic although it should be fine with 100mbit+, the protocol might be too dependent on latency or bandwith. We should monitor the bandwith usage and optimize that.
For this to work, we need more people to work on this stuff and the rest to donate some money. I suggest everyone who is financially stable to donate 1% of their income to open source if they use any of it. Those who cant should write a letter/email to their political reps to push for more funding.
Our enemies are those who do not act.
