Understandable. I'll just keep it as a fork.

This is pretty cool! I am curious if that works with Kodi. I would be happy to test that unless you happen to have Kodi ready to go.

I personally don't have any objections to that being the default, especially if it plays nicely with Kodi. I do think it'd be a great candidate for a couple of unit tests as well.

I don't use kodi. Please test it if you want. If it shouldn't work then it might be able to make it compatible. Or just use the old way of displaying.

I'm sorry but I'm not thrilled about this functionality. :( I think just showing the number of bytes is fine.

The Kodi regex (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/17652/files) is ([0-9]+)(B|K|M|G)?(?=\\s|<|$) - IIUC it won't match GiB, so it's not clear if it's 1000 or 1024.

Off-topic: I personally would prefer thousands-separators like 123,456 except:

• It's probably not worth the complexity
• It breaks the Kodi regex (lol)
• People are going to argue over , vs .
