I’ve just given up trying to get Kodi going. The final straw was that after installing the Apple TV skin Kodi just stopped working. After I exited the settings, I just had a black screen with a mouse cursor that looked a bit retro. I killed it, and then it would not restart.
Some problems I had, in particular order. First with the default skin:
– There is no back button on the screen. I have to reach for the escape button on the keyboard when wandering around the labyrinthic interface.
– When I press the lower left button with the to get the sidebar, it disappears immediately.
– Settings don’t show, but somehow sometimes take anyway.
– i select the metoffice weather source, and tried to change my location. Didn’t work, and also I get Fahrenheit. Could no figure out how to get back to the weather settings.
– The music playlist shows the file name, not just the song name.
– There seems to be no album artist view. That is, one cover image per album, grouped by artist, the groups sorted by artist, and within the groups sorted by year. Use a grid, one or more columns per group.
The last one was the reason i went looking at other skins.
I also got some random appcrashes.
