Third party skins my not be compatible, Confluence is compatible and is kept up to date.\r\n* Not all addons will work, if a particular addon doesn't work try it on the equivalent Windows Kodi version to see if it is Boxee related.\r\n\r\n### Sadly a lot of things could be improved upon but we are restricted by various issues:\r\n* We are hi-jacking the Boxee's existing kernel which is version 2.6.28 and has a limited amount of kernel modules enabled. Therefore things like getting Open VPN working is impossible without the tun.ko module. A lot of things cannot be enabled because of the old kernel and modules the Boxee has.\r\n* Subtitles (gfx glitching), has been present from day one only it has gotten slightly worse with the Kodi changes. It seems a lot of code needs adding with regards to the Boxee Intel SMD coding.\r\n* Audio issues, these are mainly due to the Intel driver and kernel issues again, although it might be possible with custom coding to perhaps reduce the issues.\r\n* The above issues could be fixed if we could replace the existing kernel with a newer one but then we would need newer drivers and those aren't open source or readily available. Even so at the moment nobody has successfully manged to upgrade/replace the old Boxee kernel/OS with a new one. One thing to help the project along would be some active devs with C/C++ coding knowledge to add Boxee specific coding to the Kodi coding to enable and fix certain issues that can be fixed. At the moment it is only myself syncing with Kodi mainline and each and every time this is done it is getting harder and more difficult to keep a working Boxee Kodi version, (it may have reduced functionality and/or parts missing).
