Hi there, i would really love to see Kodi reading and supporting ALBUMARTISTSORT and ARTISTSORT tags. Both are valid tags which i.e. can be used and assigned as extra tags by mp3tag. This would make it way easier to both have artists correctly sorted...

So I am very new to this Android box, I just received it and every app I go on is either empty or fails to open, and any app I download doesn't work due to either a 404 error or just says 'failed to open'. I have viewed the log and none of it makes sen...

I am pretty sure that I can do neither of these actions. Please move this thread to the Development | Addons | PVR sub-forum (it is now in the support forum): http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=311892 Then please delete or trashcan this thread,...

Hello together, would like to hear your opinion about the Zotac ZBOX CI327 nano. The CPU is a Intel Celeron Prozessor N3450 which should be about as strong as the Intel Celeron 2955U in the Chrombox, just that the graphics will support 4k@60Hz. Will i...

Hello everyone! I recently bought the Fire TV 2 Stick and want to use Kodi on it instead of my Raspberry. First I tried using 17.1 and now also 16.1 to get it to work, which it basically does. But I'm facing the problem that the video playback alway...

Hi there,

not sure if this had been answered before but I couldn't find anything in the other threads.

All my music is tagged with musicbraiz picard, and everything functions as expected. Apart from however, a couple of japanese artists, who have their japanese name as the primary page in MB.

Example 1:

Hed Kandi 2017, track 31 - https://musicbrainz.org/recording/f89dd2...90e45ee025

The one of the artists names as tagged in the file is: Shuya Okino ( https://musicbrainz.org/artist/e903ba3c-...64ae3431a7 ) This displays in English in Album library view when viewing the track list, and when playing the actual track. But, in Artists view, the name is displayed as: 沖野修也

The same for example 2:

Love Groove Dance Party, disc2, track 5 - https://musicbrainz.org/recording/e3a516...7214236107

Artists name as tagged in the file is: Satoshi Tomiie ( https://musicbrainz.org/artist/97b07d48-...140ea2b4f9 ) which displays as 富家哲 in Artists library view, and in English everywhere else.

Both these artists have the English version of their name as an Alias set to Locale - English (Primary).

Is there a setting for Kodi to use the English primary version of their names (or the name tagged in the actual file)?

This also seems to be causing cdART Manager to throw a bit of a wobbly on startup.

Hello, I just installed Kodi 17.1 from Google store and the addon for Democracy Now Now wasn't in the addon list. I tried downloading the zip file and it gave error, "failed to install". Any help in this or any regards would be greatly appreciated. Sa...

Android TV 8.0 “O” is getting a new UX launcher (UI) that allegedly “makes it easy to find, preview, and watch content provided by apps”. The launcher is customizable as users can control the channels that appear on the homescreen. Developers will be able to create channels using the new TvProvider support library APIs.

https://developer.android.com/preview/fe...ncher.html

You can see the launcher seems to be completely revamped with inline videos. As you highlight over a certain item, a video can start playing and the background transitions to new colors based on the thumbnail. These videos come from different sources, like Netflix (or Kodi), and provides a much faster way of accessing content. It will be coming with Android O.

You can take a look at both in this CNET interview with the Android TV lead.



There are now also an additional demo available in yesterdays Google I/O 2017 session “What’s New in Android TV“ (from 6PM PST on the 17th of May):

Searching with tmm I can not find the following TV Show from themoviedb.org:

Wunderbare Reise des kleinen Nils Holgersson mit den Wildgänsen (1980)

Tried different languages without success.

ThisIsAHack looks like a hack and sounds like a hack. But it works. It is the easiest way for me to request that Kodi call back to the PVR to get the stream URL. I need this behavior for the next iteration of the HDHomeRun PVR code. Is this planned...
