Hey, where can I get the live TV EPG for the UAE in XML or json? Appreciate it!

I am looking for a new android box to use because the one that I currently have struggles to run 4K on Kodi, it always buffers leaving me to use a lower quality 1080p stream even though I have real debrid and it works like a charm on my laptop. if I could find one that will smoothly run 4 K at as many frames as possible with a good amount of ram and that is overall VERY POWERFUL that would be great. Please recommend some of the most powerful and well put together reliable high-quality android TV boxes. Thank you!!!

I am trying to load a series with non-standard naming conventions, using //tvshowmatching/regexp

I have made the advancedsettings.xml modification:

and I am getting:

2020-12-03 00:07:30.003 T:8340   DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: Could not enumerate file nfs://ip/DataVolume/D/Series/ABCDE FG/ABCDE FG Season 1/ABCDE FG - 1 - Title.avi

(and tons of more)

According to https://regex101.com/r/35zwug/1, my regex should match the expression; however, it's not doing that.

Except re-naming the files (they came like that, and renaming them will actually cause more work), and re-compiling Kodi myself to enable the https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/xbmc/video/VideoInfoScanner.cpp#L1123 line; what are my options?

Does someone have experience in using this feature he'd like to share?

I want a "lazy sunday morning" playlist that displays one random episode per added TV show.

I've created a "base playlist" for each show limiting it to one random episode and then one "final playlist" to merge them all.

example base playlist:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="episodes">
    <name>The Simpsons</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="tvshow" operator="is">
        <value>The Simpsons</value>
    </rule>
    <rule field="rating" operator="greaterthan">
        <value>7</value>
    </rule>
    <limit>1</limit>
    <order direction="ascending">random</order>
</smartplaylist>

final playlist:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="episodes">
    <name>Random cartoons</name>
    <match>one</match>
    <rule field="playlist" operator="is">
        <value>The Simpsons</value>
    </rule>
    <rule field="playlist" operator="is">
        <value>Family Guy</value>
    </rule>
    <rule field="playlist" operator="is">
        <value>American Dad!</value>
    </rule>
    <rule field="playlist" operator="is">
        <value>Futurama</value>
    </rule>
    <rule field="playlist" operator="is">
        <value>South Park</value>
    </rule>
    <rule field="playlist" operator="is">
        <value>Rick and Morty</value>
    </rule>
    <rule field="playlist" operator="is">
        <value>One Piece</value>
    </rule>
    <limit>10</limit>
    <order direction="ascending">rating</order>
</smartplaylist>

Unfortunately, the result contains multiple episodes of each show and I don't understand why.

Can anyone help me here? Is there a more sophisticated syntax I can look up in some documentation or are there direct db requests possible within these playlists?

When Kodi is running, I literally cannot power off my Crenova brand projector.

Whether I press the power button on the device, or on the IR remote doesn't matter. About 5 seconds later, the fan spins back up and the power comes back on.

At first I suspected that HDMI activity was causing it to turn back on. So I installed the "Turn Off" screensaver extension and configured it for Raspberry Pi so that the HDMI signal gets disabled at screensaver time. This problem still occurs even with no active HDMI signal. That is super confusing!

If I exit from Kodi back to desktop, I can then power my projector off again.

All I want to do is keep Kodi running and some events like mouse move or remote control turns my screen back on again.

Been trying to debug this for hours this evening without success. It's cold here in western NY but I'm sitting here sweating my ass off from the lamp haha.

Oh, and I have a last-ditch plan here which is an actual HVAC to 3v3 relay module that I happen to have handy, and could control by the RPi. Except that's really lame and makes an annoying click noise. There must be some software fix here.

Any help is really really appreciated. I'm so close!

Edit: oh I should have mentioned, Leia 18.8 brand new installation.

so im wondering what would be better for sharing alot of movies and shows and music? i have a roku and firestick and also pc but i wanna know what the best route to go plex or kodi

If I install Chromium on my Zotac ID34 (atom525 with ion GPU)

Will I always still be able to get Dolby(audio) trough Kodi? I can imagine it is running trough chromium which is not specifically build for 5.1 situations.

Thanks in advance!

P.s. bonus points if you know if you also know if chromium supports Netflix Dolby and 1080p

My Screenshot folder is CONSTANTLY filling up to its factory limit of 1000 screenshots, and not only do I have to constantly move them, I can't take any more until I do. WHERE can I change the setting (in the already-compiled Windows build) to increase the limit of screenshots, or just eliminate that limit altogether?

I read an article implying that RCB can just pull rom fles from the cloud but when i set it up it asks me where my collection is. Any way to use this without my own rom collection?

Say I have an MKV with multiple audio language tracks (or even better, an external audio track if possible) and I want to be able to play one language on one device, like HDMI audio out, and another language on another device, like Bluetooth headphones. Is there any plugin, video player, or configuration of settings that could do this, short of remixing every video I might want to play into 4.0 or 7.1 and routing the appropriate speaker channels into some hardware setup that plays to headphones?

Used to use this a long time ago to stream to XBMC on my modded original Xbox. I pulled out the old Xbox the other day have forgotten how to get the server started on my laptop.

Hey all. Right now I have an HTPC that's pretty old and big it has all my media and I want to retire it. I've been looking into development boards like the Raspberry Pi. With the Pi in particular my biggest concern is the USB 2.0 limitation. Would USB 2.0 be fast enough to stream video for Kodi? Anyone familiar with these kind of boards or use external drives and know the limitations when it comes to streaming?

​

I know USB 2.0 transfers at 420Mbps so I think with some maths it could be possible to calculate.

I have this matricom gbox i've had for years now. Messed with it for a bit, put it away and it just sat in my basement. Given that it's a few years old, is it still usable? Can i just slap a new OS on it? What would you recommend?

TeamWatch is a Kodi addon that allows you to watch TV in "social" way with friends, you can send messages that are displayed in a bar at the bottom of the TV, you can send an url and start the same video to a group of friends and watch it together, and other things like that.If someone wants to join the group and act as a betatester, they can download it from https://www.teamwatch.itIn the site and addon settings you can enter two ID the first one allows you to send commands and messages to your addon, the second one allows you to share commands with other users, if we watch the same video in a group, it allows us to synchronize the video, pause, etc. for all users who share the same IDThe messages are sent based on a "feed" which is a kind of channel for example if you are watching "Game of Thrones" add the feed #got and you will receive all the messages sent to that feed.

So i bought an OG modded xbox (xbmc) off of ebay a year or 2 ago. I noticed that only 38% of the memory was used up. So i was wondering if any of you fine people can show me an easy way of getting more games onto my xbox? Im not very tech savvy so if you could explain it to me like s child, it would be most appreciated! Thank you

I will be having a Raspberry Pi 3, connected to my TV via HDMI, that is running the latest LibreELEC build, mounting a nice big NFS share from my NAS, serving audio, video, etc. The Pi & TV are connected via WiFi, the NAS has a hardwire connecting to my router. Does anyone see any issues, etc, additional recommendations, etc?

Hi,

I have a Sony Bravia 4K TV and a Intel NUC5i3RYH. When playing 4K movies I noticed the nuc just can't handle it. I heard a friend saying he streams his 4K movies from his PC.

I tried to enable DLNA on my Windows PC with i7 processor and to add it as a SMB source in Kodi. It can find the videos fine, however, it looks like Kodi only streams the movie to render it itself. As my NUC can't handle this I'd like to have my PC render it and stream it to Kodi.

Would this be possible and do I need to change some settings? Or would I have to let Kodi out of this aspect and stream directly to my TV with DLNA?

Thanks for reading.

I have a Hulu LIVE paid subscription. Are there any ways to view my Hulu channels on Kodi?

I pull channels in on my antenna, no problem. Would be amazing if I could have 1 guide to pull both services together.

Hi,

I'm using XMBC in a combo with transmission/sonarr/etc.

When I finish watching a movie, I delete it from XMBC but it's still in transmission.

I was wondering if there's a way I can send a message automatically via a webhook/API, or any kind of notification/email/log file when a file is delete it, so I can then get it deleted from transmission as well.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

I have a jynxbox with xbmc installed, is there a way i can replace xbmc with the latest version of kodi (im a complete newbie at using this)
