As good as SmartTube. Only thing is w/it, you can set it to go to your subscriptions tab upon start. Not seeing a way to do so with VacuumTube. Having it integrated into Kodi is a huge plus vs a separate app like w/Android.

this is great news, feels like a dream how fast this happened! also if you know how or can use AI, you can set a button on your remote to load YouTube addon. You'll have to change your keyboard.xml and figure out the command to launch and the command for your key. using AI it would help you and guide you. as soon as you press the button it will stop kodi and load YouTube. once you do that, you can start customising more menus, like a button to load your library etc. But the YouTube button will make it feel instant when you want to go into YouTube.
for the other parts, you can mess around with AI to see if can help. send the source code to chatgpt and ask -
Like to install and try this inside a VM. I have a 270K plus with Xe-LPG. How much ram is enough?

Completed full suite of test files I have on both CroqueMr's and hadesdevls builds. Both are very good, with just a few things to address from what I see...
CroqueMr's RC1.1: Debug and crash logs here
- HDR10+ doesn't work, or only occasionally or w/certain clips/movies. HDR10+ works well with hadesdevls' 1.0 RC5
- As I reported, this 'Transformers' clip either plays (5800H) or shows cannot play error (N150 and H255/8745HS). When it does play, as reported earlier, OSD overlay won't show, including being able to bring up player controls to stop playback. Creator44 reported the first 5 'Transformers' UHD rips don't play for him
-
- The clip plays well on hadesdevls' 1.0 RC5, and I'm able to bring up the player process info and OSD w/o issue
-
- The HDR formats overlay (pressing 'O' twice) is hard to see and navigate and tell which is highlighted to choose with Artic Zephyr skin (martian version specifically); not a problem with default Estuary as you can see
- There is instability with OSD on-the-fly switching from DV to HDR, etc. It works sometimes, more so on 5800H and 8745HS, while struggles, is unresponsive on N150
hadesdevls' 1.0 RC5:
- No on-the-fly switching between HDR formats via OSD, so couldn't test. Unless it's there and I missed how to initiate. If not, hadesdevls, are you planning to add? Hope so as I love it on CroqueMr's build... times it works reliably, it's great for conveniently switching from HDR to DV or vice versa
- Struggled with a few anime clips, namely pausing/freezing at start of playback. But, after that, no issues. So, minor thing. Sorry, don't have log, but here's a sample clip. Did fine with HEVC Main10 1080p, including ones w/heavy subtitles
Both builds play all 3D formats well. Tested a few random actual FEL movies ('Alien Romulus', 'Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning - Part 1', and 'Saving Private Ryan'), and both did well, including bringing up OSD and player process info. HDR10 was also fine on both. AV1 24p HDR and 60p HDR also; no issues. Even an 8K AV1 24p HDR sample played surprisingly okay-ish most times, with a few dropped frames. No dice on OSD working, but surprised this clip played at all.
Thanks for your feedback, I am finalizing the RC2, I will push the release tomorrow, regarding your issues :
- FEL on transformer has been fixed
- OSD player information is more stable
- HDR10+ has been improved a lot, and since Hades is in GPLv2 I will audit the code and take what's work well.For the OSD with the quick switching, on my N100 it's clean, I do not have any issue, do you switch with the film paused?
For the theme I will check what I am exposing to be better integrated with themes and if it's not possible to ensure a good visibility regardless of the theme I will fix my pannel and no theme will be applied -

Thanks, Gen 10th is complicated to support, but I will try to force something, maybe it will not work but at least we can try.
