i agree with all who would like to see mythfrontend kept alive. kodi to
me is much worse alternative. imho, kodi does not provide a way to
clean up commercial flags with a quick editor. kodi does not provide
frame by frame advance and many other features. mythfrontend provides
much better navigation when playing etc. if it is to be dropped would
it be possible to keep a branch alive with no changes so that myth
could still be built with the frontend as it exists today ?
