Title: Archos Recorder V1 excluded from daily builds updating
Post by: mileslives on August 29, 2019, 02:29:42 AM

Archos Recorder V1 seems excluded from daily builds updating. As far as I can see the last available build for Archos Recorder V1 is from December 13th, 2013 !!!

Does anyone know why?

Thanks for your precious work  ;) ;) ;)

Simple: new features don't fit, it fails to build, and nobody seems to care enough to work on fixing it.

I'll be sincerely honest: I'm surprised that the Archos builds are even still being built at this rate.

That code should have been broken off the main branch ages ago, and I remember the devs at that time talking about that.
Let there be a HWCODEC branch for legacy Archos devices, and the main branch be for all SWCODEC devices.
