Hi I have 2 devices at home which I want to be synchronized with the 'watched' statues. I've read the Kodi manual for setting MySql database (Syncing_and_sharing (wiki)) and both devices seems to use it The problem is, it looks like they are using diff...

After my recent reinstallation all but some video quirks seemed to work fine. Then today I discovered I had no sound whatsoever. Right after my reinstallation I discovered using alsamixer that Master was muted. Settings were not changed in the meantime, but today I discovered it had been muted again by itself. So I unmuted it, but I still have no sound, tested by playing all sorts of video and audio files. Also checked physical connections of course. I'm at a loss here, so I'll post my logs here:

Thanks for any insight; especially when I can prevent the installation from sabotaging itself in the future.

I have a windows 10 pc with and amd A10 processor and an nvidia gtx960 video card on Kodi 16.1 and get very high cpu usage when using the HDhomerun addon. Are there any setting that I might need to change from default? You can really hear the CPU fans...

Other media player (since not allow to name media player other than Kodi here), has options to record anything that is playing in media player at the moment. For example: Shift-R starts recording, Shift-R again stops recording. Then file is saved. V...

I'm running Kodi 17 beta 6 on windows 10 pc. A few days ago, when I would select to "update library", after scanning for a second, I would get a pop up screen titled "Couldn't Download information" with the words below: "Unable to connect to remote ser...

Hi, I have been using Fanart in Amber for some time and there is something that bugs me... Scrolling through the movie set one thumbnail at the time, using left/right keys works fine, but is too slow. So I prefer using the Page Up/Down keys, but they...

Is it possible to view the music library sorted by "Album Artist" instead of "Artist"? Way to many compilations/mixes where each artist is only in my library once. I'd rather have them all under "various artists" where they belong Loving the new ski...

Hello! I want to move away from using modded skins and so I thought the time might be right to check out Estuary. In my old skin I used to be able to edit the main menu so that next to Movies, I could have Kids Movies... simply linking this to a play...

Is there a preferred way to rewrite a guide/how-to? I have written this guide: HOW TO: Minimal Ubuntu 16.04 with Kodi, Steam & EmulationStation. I have now found a better way to integrate Kodi, Steam and emulators compared to the one described in my guide. However, this new approach would mean that I need to rewrite large sections.

I would like to preserve the old guide for reference, but I do not want to add new sections to the old guide because the readability would suffer. Also, some of the post in the thread still applies to the new guide.

Right now I am thinking about these solutions:

• Create a new thread for the new guide
• Use strike-through to show what sections no longer apply in the old guide and add the new sections
• Add a post in my old thread with the new guide and link to this new guide in the beginning of the thread
  

I'm using onAction function, is there anyway to detect if the action/key was a long-down(as in when you hold the key down and it repeats the action) press? If I press down key once I get Code: DEBUG: Keyboard: scancode: 0x50, sym: 0x0112, unicode: 0x...
