how to update library?

This should be so simple that I feel silly for asking but here goes: once I've added new files to my network share, how do I manually trigger a library update?

Can I add a preamp of some kind.

I use Kodi and Raspberry Pi2 for music player exclusively. Works flawlessly. However, volume is too low on both Pis I use with stereos in different rooms. If I boost the rating up from 85db the sound becomes distorted. Now, I don't mind playing my ...

Youtube addon axed?

I guess this is one of the addons that bit the dust when the copyright problems started, eh. It has not worked anymore for me.

Overlay during video playback

Is there a way to have an image overlay during video playback? Besides the one used for the player controls? I'd like to create a scanlines or CRT-mask overlay that displays on top of video while it is playing for older TV shows. Thanks in advance.

[Kodi 17.3] Universal IMDB scraper missing first returned result of long list [edit1]

Hello all.

Using Kodi 17.3 on windows 10. Trying to input the movie "Split" year 2016 by M. Night Shyamalan into database.
I use the file name: Split (2016) [ix] 1080p hevc 10bit {horror,thriller}.mkv

In Manual refresh mode, the returned list does not include the entry for M. Night Shyamalan, even though it is on the top of the akas.imdb.com search results. With log debug on, the IMDB movie ID tt4972582 is not present.

I suspect the universal scraper is somehow missing the first entry of the long list of results. I have verified using curl 4.7.0 that the returned html page contains tt4972582.

You can test my problem by renaming any file to the above file name, then let Kodi scan for the entry. For me Split (2016) (ix) is at the top of the list generated by the CreateSearchUrl http://akas.imdb.com/find?q=Split&s=tt.
However GetSearchResults first entry is tt3315656 which is the second entry in the returned html page.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
AT2010

pseudo tv like features

I've found pseudo tv to be the single best kodi addon. It makes the problem deciding what to watch easier, you just choose from what is currently 'playing'. It also gets me watching content I may have forgotten about or would normally pass over. I d...

Giving Up on UPnP. How should I do this?

It's frustrating that Kodi bills UPnP as the easiest way to share files. I have found it's very inconsistent. I have a Shield Tablet, an S7 Edge, and an Amazon Fire Stick. I can't tell you how suckage it is that some of these devices will find the UP...
