https://github.com/Pivosgroup/xbmc/tree/...rodo-pivos , looks like Frodo 12.2 to me.
To enabled amcodec, https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/8d70...7528e8bed6 , the same works in Frodo 12.3.
Amcodec was not enabled in Frodo 12.3 because there was a serious issue with it working under all released AML firmware based devices. A critical AMLogic API strut size was changed between the different versions (ISC vs Jellybean) so it would work with one and not the other. A solution to this issue was found AFTER Frodo 12.3 release. So it did not make it into Frodo 12.3. That solution however is present in and amcodec is enabled in the current Gotham. Frodo 12.3 is end of the line for the Frodo series, there will not be a Frodo 12.4.
Pivos is targeting Gotham because it's the Pivos devs feel that it is the best version with the most stable audio/video playback under all AML devices. I and others run it daily and I have no clue what you mean by unstable. Gotham is in feature freeze and is moving toward release. Just because the version says 'alpha' is meaningless. It's the 1st stage of three towards a release. At each stage, the release managers (RMs) become more and more restrictive about what commits are permitted into the code base.
Pivos might do a Frodo 12.3 based release but this decision will have to wait until after the Pivos sync/release to Gotham which is of interest to much, much more Pivos users. As of now, I've seen two people wanting Frodo 12.3 and a ton more showing interest in Gotham. Pivos does not have unlimited resources so it cannot satisfy all requests.
And BTW, Netflix works just fine for me...
