Default The end of xbmc

I have it on my pc and it updated today saying goodbye, well mashup that is. I think it's got too big and the thought of being sued must be looming.

Yeh it's a blow that Mashup has gone, that was everything in one place, it was so easy to navigate and organise your favs etc and the streaming was solid and reliable. Things like Navi X are all over the place, the streaming can be hit and miss, plenty of times their are links up with nothing there or you get a lot of buffering.

I used to use 1 channel a lot, that dissappeared with a block on UK users. You can only see XBMC getting smaller and smaller with the threats around from copyright infringements etc and the quality and reliability going downhill.

I've got this on my jb atv, and to be honest, although I've never really invested heap loads of time into it, I just find it so hitty missy as to getting any of the links working. Ice films etc.
On the one hand I feel that it's got something to offer but everytime I use it it doesn't work & resets itself �� very frustrating!

I thought the OP was referring to XBMC itself, and was going to comment it's called Kodi now, but it seems they were referring to Mashup which is either some plugin / add-on / distro.
