I didn't say it was a problem, I said it's not what he's asking for. And since you put it that way, not everybody likes a salesman who tries to "upgrade" or "upsell" the customer to a bunch of stuff they didn't ask for in the first place. Why is it so difficult for you to accept there's an simple answer to his simple question that doesn't involve Kodi. > On an RPi? With hardware support? I don't believe that. I didn't say anything about hardware support. >> I'm only stating the obvious, that Kodi is absolutely unnecessary to >> give the OP what he's asking for. There is no denying this.

I haven't said any solution to his problem is bad and I have said I don't like anything. Once again I have to point out that Kodi is unnecessary to play mkvs. It's idiotic to even question that fact but if you really need "proof" then go ahead and install the vdr-mplayer plugin and prove it to yourself. If you don't want to do that then you can install the vdr-play plugin as an alternative. > I asked you already before to explain what makes OpenELEC more > complicated, you > didn't answer. Yes, I have answered that question. Feel free to refer to my previous posts and perhaps pay better attention to what's being said. > The only thing that is really obvious that you have no idea what you are > talking about. Do you have any idea how completely foolish that sounds? > As the founder of yaVDR I have some experiences how complicated a vdr > setup can be. > As a contributor to OpenELEC I know how simple the setup in OE currently is. If I'm supposed to be impressed by that, it's not working. I've been a VDR user for nearly 15 years and have never relied on anyones pre-compiled packages. I've automated practically every aspect from OS install to fully working VDR, including auto-configuring things outside of VDR. So what, who cares? This isn't about how big my johnson is or how tiny yours seems to be. This started out with a guy asking a simple question - how can I play mkvs in VDR? If you want to act butthurt because someone pointed out that all it takes is the vdr-mplayer or vdr-play plugin then start a new thread about it. I doubt he posted to the ML in hopes of seeing someone get all sensitive over Kodi and start acting like its' honor must be defended at all cost.. It's really starting to seem teenage girl'ish so maybe you should give it a rest. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
