Hello, I can't find a way to create a smart playlist like the default 'TV shows - In Progress' widget filter. I can create a smart playlist with tv shows and in progress true. This gives me all tv shows in progress. But it isn't able to play the late...

Hi all, I don't mean to post a thread on something I know there's already tons of guides about. Thing is, I had my remote configured and working just fine since 2011. I've included as an attachment the RegEdit file I used way back when. Essentially...

In a PVR binary addon (pvr.zattoo), I'm using XBMC->CURLOpen(..) to communicate with the stream provider. On a specific request, the provider sets a session cookie which is used to identify the current session. Earlier, this cookie was saved to coo...

Hi, lost here. Tried everything including totally reinstalling all Kodi software and DB on MySql Environment: * About 6 devices which have Kodi 16.1 installed and are configured with the advancedsettings.xml to connect to a MySql DB to retrieve and s...

@ home I host my own MySQL server to sync all my kodi instances.

Ontop of that I have a RPi2 that I setup to VPN into my home, I take that with me when I go away for work (I use a tablet data plan for internet)

The issue I notice is when I configure the remote box to use my home MySQL instance the idle bandwidth of remote box is ~1GB/day, then I remove the mysql info (in advancedsettings) the idle usage is a few MBs/day?

I’m not talking about watching anything, this is just the idle communication kodi has with its MySQL instance. I know I’m using kodi/SQL in a way that was not intended, but I’m wondering is there any configuration or control that I can applied to reduce that amount of idle bandwidth chatter?

1GB is a chuck of info, I’m guessing it has something to do with the poster images and such?

Thanks,

I have the issue that every once in a while when I start Kodi, all settings were reset: Skin set back to confluence, audio output set back to default, TV/PVR disabled (and PVR addon settings reset) etc. On the other hand, all addons are still there and...

When updating the library, certain archives (large ones, I'm assuming) prompt a dialog window to pop up detailing the unpacking progress of the archive. This is incredibly annoying, as it pops up on top of any playing media, and happens irregardless of...

I'm trying to decide on a case and the Flirc seems to be one of the better choices. Though there are a few things I'd like to clarify. - At what temp does the Pi3 begin to throttle ? I've heard a few numbers thrown around, and would it in fact actua...

HI. im using a Black Gold Dual tuner PCIe tv card for my live TV (Black and gold BGT3620 TV card dual DVBT2 freeview HD UK TV). The bizarre thing is that the black golder driver bgtcap.sys keeps giving my BSOD reboot errors at random periods during use...

Hi, my Linux box has two audio-devices, a on-board analog one and the graphics card (via HDMI). Due to some limitations of my connected amplifier I would like to use both, the analog and the HDMI audio channel. Since in Kodi's settings I only can cho...

In the music when I "Scan Item to Library" for the path below I find it two time in the artist name reference.
On the filesystem I have the directory "/contents/Musica/Compilations" with the "extrafanart" directory and the file "artist.nfo":

<artist>
<name>Compilations</name>
<genre>....



On the directory "/contents/Musica/Compilations/Il padrone della festa" there are the MP3 files and "album.nfo" file:

<album>
<musicBrainzReleaseGroupID>3b8a94a0-3bbd-4cfc-b1ca-762c2504c2bd</musicBrainzReleaseGroupID>
<musicBrainzAlbumID>08cb3397-e866-4e26-a126-f502de8097b7</musicBrainzAlbumID>
<title>Il padrone della festa</title>
<artist>Fabi Silvestri Gazzè</artist>
<genre>....



The file MP3 have this tag:



but after "Scan Item to Library" on directory "/contents/Musica/Compilations":



on the "Music Artits" I find double "Compilations" name.
First one object have nfo info, fanart and folder image:



The second one have only directory name:



Is there a reason for strange behaviur?
Can I remove the "Artist Music" without nfo info, fanart and folder entry?

I have a strange issue where Rise of Tomb raider is choppy with low fps when kodi is open. If i have the game open and tab out and close kodi a few seconds fps goes up. What could be causing this? all other games are fine

1. How do I get Kodi to recognize the fanart for my movie files? I selected thumbnail as the display, yet only 1 movie displays a thumbnail of the movie poster. All movies in that folder have posters (fanart files). 2. I am using Kodi on the KDLINKS ...
