************************************************************

Kodi doesn't support HW decoding?
Kodi's playback quality lower than your built-in videoplayer?
This is your app.

Main functions:
-Device specific optimizations for faster playback. (HiMedia)
-Mount SMB or NFS share automatically based on video URL, and start playback.
-Stream over HTTP (Every device is supported. May not work for iso files.)
-Map Kodi PVR to supported backend channel numbers, and play in external player.

Some explanations:

Mount CIFS or NFS share:
-----------------------------------------------
Requires root.
Mounts the video's share to /mnt/xbmcwrapper (or any other dir you prefer).
You DON'T need busybox or anything else, only kernel support for mounting.

HTTP-Stream:
--------------------------
A built-in HTTP server streams the video file from the remote share to your video player.
Works on every device.
Image file types are not supported by most players.
You can also use Kodi's HTTP server if you have Remote Control functionality enabled in Kodi. This may use less memory overall, but it is less compatible with most players.

Map Kodi PVR to supported backend channels:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kodi in some cases uses its own id's for TV channels(the number before their name), you can set how to remap these to backend channel id's to play in external player.

On recent tvheadend and kodi versions, you don't need to map channels. Just select TvHeadend as PVR backend, and set the host, and you are all set.

The app claims that it cannot write the xml file although it has all the permissions that it asked for. Could be that I'm not smart enough to use this app ...

Just purchased this app for playing movies from Plex add-on in Kodi v19 by the default Egreat Player of my Egreat A5 TV Box (with Android 7 installed). Happy to find that now I can bitstream HD audio to my external surround amplifier and enjoy much better picture quality with the Egreat Player. However, external subtitle files (.SRT etc) in my Plex movie library associated with the movie do not appear in Egreat Player for selection and only embedded subtitles are available. Egreat player can show external subtitle for selection if the movie file and subtitle file are played as local files in Kodi. So this app seams not working flawlessly with Plex add-on in Kodi.
