Tag: Kodi Support

Can anyone post a url that I can type into downloader that will update my kodi to the newest version? I am using a fire stick with a Fire OS 5.2.4.1 any help would be appreciated!

Hi! Since last week I was able to see my preferite tv channels with iptv simple client on Kody 17.3. Now it doesn't work anymore... I can see every single channel of the list but nothing happens when I choose on of them. Can I do something to see aga...

I have a lot of 3D movies that have been ripped in full over-under format. This means that the resolution of a single 3D frame for a movie that has an aspect ratio of 16:9 is 1920x2160 (stacking two 1920x1080 frames on top of each other). I don’t have problems with such an aspect ratio.

I have issues with movies that are not in 16:9 aspect ratio. For instance, The Martian bluray has an aspect ratio of 2.40:1, meaning the resolution of single frame is 1920x800 if we get rid of the black bars. So, a single 3D frame for a movie with an aspect ratio is 2.40:1 is 1920x1600 (stacking two 1920x800 frames on top of each other).

I used to watch 3D movies in full over-under format by connecting the TV to my laptop and playing the 3D movie via PotPlayer. Here’s how the movie shows when first opened in PotPlayer:



I can easily change the aspect ratio in PotPlayer to match the original 2:40 aspect ratio. Notice that PotPlayer clearly knows where the resolutions of the top and bottom image and cleverly adds bothers to the top and bottom of each image, and not only to the top and bottom of the combined image. So, I activate the 3D button on the TV, the TV displays the movie in the correct aspect ratio.



I don’t want to always be connecting my laptop to the TV just to watch a 3D movie. I am getting an Android TV box soon and will be running Kodi as my primary media player. The movie looks the same as in PotPlayer when it first launches in Kodi 17.3.



However, when 3D mode is on, the only options available only zoom the picture. This is clearly not what I want as some of the picture is lost. The only mitigating (and non-ideal) solution is for me to set 3D mode off and stretch the picture to a 16:9 aspect ratio. The problem is, this is not the correct aspect ratio, and so the the movie gets stretched vertically.



What can I do to make Kodi display the movie in the correct aspect ratio in the same way PotPlayer does ?

Hi I had two crashes one after another, it seems to be related with MMAL. Maybe @popcornmix has some insights. Here are the crash logs, with some information (URLs) redacted. https://pastebin.com/JPLvAmmR https://pastebin.com/qTRi6fke Any idea ?

Hello all, I am using CNTV-live addon to watch live streams on cntv.com and found that recently all streamings failed sliently with this addon, while it plays find using browser. The streaming urls are unchanged by looking at the source of the live st...

Hi, I would like to know, if there is any opportunity in Krypton to stop a video, when leaving it with the back button of my AndroidTV remote.
So is there a way in Kodi to deactivate videos playing in the background.
I´m used to this behaviour from SPMC and it would be great if I could use it that way in Kodi too.
