I don't know what's going on here, this has happened in the past but it has usually corrected itself. I recently started using Emby as my backend and ever since then it seems like PseudoTV isn't working 100% as intended. It starts up correctly and buil...

I put my trust in the internet and got blind sided. After conversing back an forth with a couple of people about a problem I had encountered I was informed that I had been using a couple of banned add-ons/repositorys (fusion and genesis to be exact). ...

I have two Nexus players. I set one up and would like the exact copy to another, Titan skin settings, pointing to smb, custom backgrounds, even library. Is this possible? Looking at old threads and it seems inconclusive. The regular backup didn't seem ...

I can't seem to find this myself and I'm pretty sure I changed every colour option. Has anyone been able to change the back panel on the spotlight tile? Highlighted below watch gallery

Hi all,
Thought I would try Kodi on my desktop computer (Windows 7) to see how it works before jumping all the way in and setting it up on my TV so I can cancel my cable service. (No longer worth $200.oo a month).
Just got started and already have two issues to work out before I can move forward. The main one is resolution and the other is simple playback.
I installed the ABC Family addon and then chose the TV show (The Middle). I then clicked on an episode to watch. Error message: Playback failed - One or more items failed to play. Check the log for more information about this message. Also, at the bottom, right hand side of screen it says: Video not available at this time. Is this normal Kodi behavior , just because the videos are listed doesn't mean you can actually watch all of them?
I then tried a show called (Shadow Hunters) not my thing, just experimenting. I got one of these episodes to play, but noticed the resolution was only 720. I was pretty sure that the show is broadcasted at a much higher res. I recorded an episode to my cable DVR and then transferred it to my computer.......most people don't even know that this can be done. Anyway, I was right, the res is actually 1920 by 1080.
I went to System > Settings > Video output, but the only res that is shown there is my current monitor res setting. Are the videos on Kodi played at their original res or are they all downgraded to 720 for some reason? Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing? Is there a way to tell Kodi to always just play at highest res possible?

Thanks guys

Hi, I'm running mimic skin on Kodi Jarvis and I have customized my backgrounds and a few of the font settings. I have noticed that this skin seems to crash on me a lot. I was wondering if there are any suggestions as to what I might be able to do to fi...

Hi everyone I recently got a new Ultrawide display, and I couldn't be happier. Well, I could, if my Kodi was able to support the 21:9 aspect ratio. So I came to find out if there was a way to do this, and no surprise you have that covered with some gre...

Hello sometimes I want to see only the watched movies in the list. I used to use the the Transparency! Skin, and in this you could choose to show Unwatched, show Watched and show all movies. I'm missing that feature on Confluence. I do prefer the confl...

With every Video-Plugin (e.g. pvr.zattoo, ZattooBox, ZattooBoxExtended, MagineTV, TVSpielfilm, etc.) video streams start with a delay of 6-10 secs!
First a frozen picture of the stream appears after ~2 secs, and then the audio begins to starts. After another ~8 secs the frozen video-picture begins to starts, too.

In Kodi 16.x the same streams start immediately (audio + video same time).

Here's the log:
