So awhile ago there was an add-on that let you watch extras from a movie that were added in an extras folder. This was cool because some movies had mini movies. I don't see it in my add-ons folder and can't find it when I do a search on Kodi. I looked ...

First off, I 'm very new to kodi and programming. I'm working on a Raspberry Pi carputer project with some addons I have created my self (ADC inputs and a serial interface to car bus which is pre-OBD2). I'm pulling some OBD type data such as coolant t...

I've just updated mediaportal to 2.1 release. I've also installed the MediaPortal 2 Spring of '16 - TVServerKodi plugin v1.13.100.137. It seems that kody (krypton release) is no longer able to connect to the mediaportal server as previously. I've not c...

so right now i have 40/5 DSL + phone from centurylink (i work from home so phone is necessary) and Dish Network with the 120 package, 2 tvs with shared dvr. Im paying close to $200/mo for the two. Im getting tired of paying so much and i cannot even get faster internet (40M is where they max out, no gig service in my neighborhood).

Starting looking around, and Cox is offering 150/10 internet + phone + 200 channels (including hbo, showtime, and cinemax) for $110/mo (so realistically probably $130 after taxes and fees) . Problem is that includes 1 receiver, no dvr. To add 1 dvr is $22 (2 tuner) or $ 30 for 6 tuner. I need to cover at least 2 tvs (4-5 preferred, but 2 will suffice (thats all i have with dish)).

Cable card is $1.99/mo.

My hope is to use cablecard to keep costs down, but it has to be wife and kid friendly. If they have to jump through hoops, it wont work for me.

My current setup is a windows server, running the mysql server for kodi, acting as central storage, and running sonarr/sabnzbd. It has 6TB of storage. My hope is to utilize this server as a dvr server as well, with DVR recordings going to their own folder on the 6TB hard drive, and then using a shield tv/fire sticks as clients in various rooms in the house.

I started looking into it last night, and hdhomerun seems to be the hardware to acheive this, but then i started reading issues there too regarding DRM channels (which from what i understand is every single channel except locals here).

Here are my wants:
1- would like it to tie into kodi and just be a menu option like movies/tv shows
2- when in tv mode, it should act like a stb, being able to change channels quickly, pause, rewind, record, etc
3- be able to share a single dvr library with all clients in the house, hit record in one room and be able to watch it in any other room.
4- an EPG like a stb, where i can see what is on and whats coming on, and schedule future recordings.
5- be able to watch all channels i subscribe to


Is this acheivable? In my research it seems the only way to do this is via WMC, which isnt going to work because a-all computers in the house are windows 10 and b-i dont want windows pcs as clients for WMC extenders ( i want netflix/amazon 10 ft uis, thus the shield tv/fire tv clients).

Sorry this is long winded, there just doesnt seem to be a straight forward *start here* tutorial and everything ive looked at thus far seems to present its own problems. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I've found that when a channel is selected and is not broadcasting and also from the guide if you chose to play a channel from the guide the video opens on the background even if that option if not selected on the PVR options panel. However, It'll work...

Some pics, all that available ATM. It will be stripped of views, only 1 menu which is icon driven (I may add vertical once up and running). Makes extensive use of BG art processing for colors, swatches etc. Colors are automatically matched to current ...

I've tried googling and searching but can't seem to find much on this subject. I can't say when this started because I generally use a PC to watch but when I recently tried watching recordings or liveTV through Kodi on the android I get great audio, bu...
