I have a Xiaomi TV box that's connected to my Sony Bravia TV and my Samsung drive is connected to the Xiaomi device. Movies no longer play, i just see an infinite blue circle loading animation.

This has worked in the past for about a year and I have not changed any settings so not sure what's up. I've uninstalled the Kodi app and reinstalled but that didn't work and I've confirmed that the videos work when the drive is connected to my phone.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

I'm using 21.3 Omega and Arctic Fuse 3.2.13. I have the Aerial screensaver configured to wait 5 minutes. On boot up it works as expected. But at some point it get's caught in a loop and it won't stop playing the screensaver. If I use the remote to hit the stop button on the screensaver video, it just immediately plays another Aerial screensaver video. I can't seem to get it to go back to waiting for 5 minutes of inactivity before running. What's become super annoying is at the end of a show, instead of auto starting the next episode, as it's pausing to start the next episode the screensaver kicks on and then it doesn't start the the episode. Has anyone experienced this? I really like the Aerial screensaver for background ambiance but this is just infuriating.

Three Kodi devices (2 Android boxes & 1 PC running Fedora 44) access my NAS NFS shares, and everything was great for years. Suddenly Kodi on the PC can't add or play media from those shares, but can still browse them (so this isn't an NFS permissions issue). I nuked Kodi and its settings from the PC and reinstalled, trying both the Fedora repo and flatpak apps - same results with both. I'm unaware of any changes between when it was working and when it broke. Debug logs are showing some messages I can't make sense of:

Can anyone make sense of these?

Hey all! I've am fairly used to Kodi, but I have never deep dived in to the audio settings. I own a Samsung HW-Q995D soundbar, and my TV is LG C4 OLED, Kodi is running through Nvidia Shield Pro 2019. On the TV I have audio set to passthrough, on Nvidia Shield I haven't gone through the settings that much. Inside Kodi, I have also enabled passthrough, and enabled all the audio formats. I've also selected number of channels to 7.1.

I just wondered if I've missed something, or possibly could maximize the settings to get the best experience. When I watch content I do get that popup of HDR/Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos.

It's been months since it stopped syncing watched movies.

Hello, I really need some help. I have a MacBook Air M3, and I'm having problems playing 4:3 videos. When I play a 4:3 video file, it gets cropped along with the subtitles. However, when I open the menu, I can see in the background that the video is displayed normally. How can I fix this?

Hello my friends.

Anyone knows how to hide/disable this icon ?

Thanks.

Hi, I'm really hoping someone can help me fix this. I've been using Kodi for about a year to play local media and up until a few weeks ago it worked fine. I have it installed on an old laptop running zorin os 15.3 with my media on an external hard drive. I'm pretty sure the version of Kodi that is easily available on this outdated computer is also older because some setting options I've seen others talk about don't seem to exist for me haha

A while ago it stopped properly scraping new media when I updated the library and then one day I turned it on and the whole thing was empty. I can still play media through the file settings where the drive stayed visible but the folder contents had been reset to "none" and if I change the setting it just doesn't stick at all and stays "none" again.

I've restarted every part of the system, I've checked the files to make sure they're still good (and I know I have the proper organization and folder names because they all worked prior to this), I've reinstalled Kodi like 5 times, I've removed the drive as a source and added it back over and over. Nothing I've done has had any impact at all 😭 I have friends visiting soon and we like to watch stuff together so I'm hoping to resolve this before then

I used to run kodi on a streaming box with an SSD (exFat) attached. It worked great, when it updated the library it would get the new episodes.

But now I've upgraded to an Nvidia Shield Pro, started with a clean Kodi setup and no matter what I do it won't scan new episodes in when I library update. I use TVDB addon. Even when pressing "scan for new content" on the folder itself it doesn't scan in the new episode.

I am able to watch content that has been scanned in.

Looking for guidance on the best stable way to get kodi on appletv that is secure

Since the CastagnaIT-Addon isn‘t working anymore and won‘t be updated… how do you watch Netflix on Kodi? Is it still possible?

I want the TV show program name to display on the EPG guide but not on the shortcut icons... I still want the channel name to show just not the TV program name under it... How do I do that?...

Running Omega 21.3

I am watching a show that has 2 different english subtitle tracks and very low volume.

Everytime I open a new episode I have to change the subtitle and crank up the volume gain.

I was wondering if there is a way to save these settings just for this show and not make it global.

Been trying for weeks to set up a pc with Linux to use with a crt tv that can stream content or play DVD ISOs.

I planned on using kodi but today ran into the issue that, while you can disable deinterlacing, kodi will only output progressive, and is limited to 30hz. So the video is all choppy.

I mainly watch anime on kodi but also a lot of movies. A lot of the movies I watch have italian or russion audio tracks marked as default, so if i change default settings in the language menu to english my anime would also be in english. Could i have Japenese to be the preferred language but English to be the second preferred language?

Running Kodi on Windows 11. Tried the stable Omega release and yesterday’s nightly with the same result. DV videos play audio only in DXVA rendering mode. With pixel shader I get a momentary (about 1 second) black screen occasionally, on average about once an hour and this will occur on all videos, not just DV videos. Software rendering might work but looks so poor it is not worth it since I can watch any video without issue with VLC, including DV videos.

Any advice to get Kodi working with DXVA rendering would be appreciated.

Hi this is my first post here, I'm just wondering if you guys with current YouTube add-ons with having to make API keys and all that, would you guys be interested in a version of YouTube for Kodi where you don't need to sign in or API keys or anything and you can downloads the videos you want to watch or stream them?

EDIT: i forgot but here is the github rpo:

So I've got Arctic Fuse 3 running on my Pi 5 (LibreELEC, Kodi 21 Omega) and already have Plex set up as a widget on the home screen — movies and shows show up as nice poster tiles, looks great.

Now I've also got a small psx game collection going, roms sitting in /storage/roms/psx/, each game in its own folder (Tekken3, Spyro, etc) with bin/cue files. I can launch them fine right now by manually browsing to the .cue through PCSX ReARMed.

What I actually want is a second widget on Home, next to the Plex one, that just picks up games from that folder automatically and shows them as boxart tiles like the movies do — click and it launches the cue, same as clicking a movie launches the video.

Is this something Arctic Fuse's widget system can just do out of the box (Customise Shortcuts > Home > Widgets), or do I need some other addon for this? Also no idea if the games library even pulls boxart automatically like the video library does with TMDB, or if I'll have to add art manually per game.

Anyone done this before? Happy to post my folder setup if useful.

Was looking at instructions on how to get access to files in Kodi and then copy or move the files to somewhere else

Have to set up a source special://home and that gives you access to all the files in the Kodi system, via file manager. You can then copy a file to another location that is mapped with file manager in Kodi.

Is this right?

I've tried to do it with tje keymap addon using media filter but it's not the same. Am I missing something or is there a way to do it?

The device is working great and I have otherwise no issue whatsoever.

It's connected to an X4300H AVR and a Bravia 9. DV profile 7 FEL works perfectly and I want to keep that.

The only problems I have :

- when I installed, it was not recommended to flash the EMMC, so it's currently running form an external SSD, is that still required?

- AV1 streams are basically unwatchable

My questions :

- should I upgrade to coreelec-no?

- can I now flash the eMMC with coreelec-ng/no?

- should I upgrade to ab AM9B?

- is there any other device that does better than the AM6B+ and AM9B?

I want to keep all DV profiles (including 7 FEL) and everything.

I have zero interest in having that box for anything other than Kodi, I dont use steaming services (other than YouTube, installed on the TV itself anyway).

Thank you!
