Side-by-Side Facts
| Metric | xbmc/inputstream.ffmpegdirect ↗ | basecamp/cached_externals ↗ |
|---|---|---|
| Description | Supports streams opened by FFmpeg's libavformat or Kodi's cURL such as plain TS, HLS and DASH (non-DRM) as well as many others. There is support for Archive/Catchup services where there is a replay window and can timeshift across that span. Also provides timeshift for live streams where rewind/pause and fast-forward would not have been available. | Symlink to external dependencies, rather than bloating your repositories with them |
