The information available on the website and github is pretty sparse. Will it play blu-ray iso's or folders? Support for DTS-MA? TV tuner support documentation just says "most work", which really doesn't answer the question at all. In general the documentation just says it will do anything you want it to, without going into any specifics.

Do I have to go back through the docs on Kodi and assume this will do everything Kodi will?

This is an open source project and hence lacks the resources to document or be as polished. As mentioned in my comment below it is a OS which runs only one program which is the Kodi Media Center but it will support Apps along with Kodi Media Center.

PostgreSQL is an open source project, and has documentation on par with its commercial alternatives. Open source doesn't have to mean poorly documented.
