| 2 | * Kodi Krypton (v17.0) will have an awesome new default skin, Estuary. | ||
| 3 | However the vast improvements are deep in the bowels of Kodi core code. | ||
| 4 | . | ||
| 5 | Since the beginning of XBMC back in the days while it was running on | ||
| 6 | the XBOX there was something like DVDPlayer. As the name probably | ||
| 7 | implies it was used to playback DVD discs/files. During the years this | ||
| 8 | DVDPlayer was improved and patched up to stay within modern day | ||
| 9 | standards of video playback expectancy. However it became clear that | ||
| 10 | for the future a major overhaul and rewrite was needed to keep up and | ||
| 11 | be future proof. As such the developers who did the AudioEngine in v12 | ||
| 12 | picked up this job and have now transformed it into VideoPlayer. | ||
| 13 | . | ||
| 14 | Together with some platform developers they ripped out the old | ||
| 15 | DVDPlayer code, chopped it into pieces, put it in the blender, picked | ||
| 16 | the needed pieces and put it back in without breaking the rest of Kodi. | ||
| 17 | This certainly wasn’t an easy job as DVDPlayer was like the bottom | ||
| 18 | block of a Jenga tower that needed to be replaced while still being | ||
| 19 | entangled throughout the whole tower. It had it’s tentacles in parts | ||
| 20 | of the code where it shouldn’t have been in the first place. Over a | ||
| 21 | year ago work started on getting this untangled and made ready to | ||
| 22 | be replaced by the new implementation, VideoPlayer. | ||
