I guess I trashed Kodi on Rpi2 too early , as I started playing with it this holy week , as it is quite stable now after a few weeks of updates , really nice and cool interface .
I had problems too with crushed whites and blacks on my Pioneer Kuro's and after a bit of searching I was able to edit the config file to output the proper levels to match my Tv's ..
It's Great that you can use the CEC mode and control Kodi using the remote control of the tv set ..
What makes Kodi so nice are the addon's .. I need to try the ipcam monitoring and Squeezebox control next ,
Looks like I need to get another one then...
