Sorry to ask this, but do you have an explanation about not taking
upstream patches ? It is not obvious for me.

Also, I began to implement this fix on my own, and after seeing that
master branch have implemented this, I thought that it would better to
backport it. (Plus some addition from my side, that I will try to report
upstream).

raspberry-pi2 build) and remove it when the newer version of Kodi will
integrate it ?

Anyway, thanks for your feedbacks !
Regards,

Ps: I have tested Kodi on my raspberry-pi2. It works like a charm :)
