Hi, I'm setting up a remote with LIRC and a serial IR receiver, and I have a problem with double key presses; I've read about a remoterepeat option to add in the advancedsettings.xml file, but it seems to be gone! The wiki page just reports "<remoterepeat> - Removed", and trying to set it anyway (obviously) does not work. So, how can I achieve the same result?

Where did the "remoterepeat" option go?

Folder visible but not accessible
I have a Vero running Kodi and I use an external 5tb HDD for my movies.
I use Carbon Copy Cloner to sync the movies from my server to my HDD.
When I access the HDD on Kodi I can see the 2 movie folders. however the main movies folder (750 someodd movies) cannot be accessed.
This is usually after a power down although I properly ejected the drive through Kodi, or it's after I add new movies to the drive.
The only workaround is to move the folder in it's entirety into the other movie folder and then move it back to where it originally resided.
Anyone have any ideas why the folder cannot be accessed? the other folder on the same drive can be browsed with flying colors.
Thanks!

Kodi goes black for 5 seconds then comes back on
I just downloaded Kodi 17.3 and when I open the app the screen cuts off for about 6 seconds and stays on for about 10 seconds. Kodi itself does not shut down and go back to the amazon home page or anything. It just makes the screen black for that time. My TV is not the thing that is turning on and off. I have checked the connection of the actual stick in the back of my TV and there is nothing wrong there. I have also turned the resolution to 1280x720p and I have also tried 1920x1080p. 1920x1080p makes it worse and go black even faster. I just want Kodi to work again. Any help is appreciated. TIA

Limit Actor Appearances View - Query by Count
Kodi 17.3 has the ability to sort actors by "appearances" but it's very slow and buggy for large data sets.
Can someone give me detailed instructions on how to limit this query to the top 15 actors by appearance? I'm hoping this will be faster.
By buggy I mean the query works the 1st time but then stops working until you exit and re-enter the Actors search menu. So if you select Bogart and view all his movies, then return to the search it's no longer sorted by "appearances".
Thx

Can Someone Check Artist Slideshow in the Main Repo?
I was doing some testing today and decided to uninstall Artist Slideshow from my main Windows machine. When I try to reinstall it from the main Kodi repo it says install failed, and when I look at the log there is a line indicating an MD5 hash mismatch. I am able to install the same version (2.0.8) of AS from my beta repo (I'm the maintainer for AS and use that repo to push out beta versions). If this ends up just being a me problem, that's fine. I'll figure out. But I'm concerned that perhaps nobody can install AS from the Kodi repo right now.

NFS share not working
Afternoon. After playing around with the Texture Cache Maintenance utility my NFS shares are no longer available anymore. My database does not locate the NAS nor can I navigate into the NAS to create another NFS share. Any ideas? Is it a permissions error after the Texture Cache scanning processes? I did allow full permission to the 'texturecache.py-master' folder and the edited config file that was initially put in /storage/.configs.
Any help would be great...

Whishes for a genre/tag batch-manipulator
Currently I see no way to efficently manipulate the genre-tags in the nfo-files of my movie archiv. TinyMediaManager is the only usable library manager for Debian GNU/Linux here but doesn't fit my needs for that special use-case. So I think about writing me an own script for that. But before I start I want to ask if someone would be interested in that. If so I would do the job in a more clean way to publish the code.
The current specifications are
Sounds simple? I couldn't find a tool doing this for me in an elegant and quick way.
The current specifications are
- Commandline tool written with Python3
- Delete specific genre-tags. (e.g. "Adventure")
- Replace specific genre-tags (e.g. "Horror" -> "Zombie")
- Simulation.
- List all genre-tags and find duplicates.
- Handle specific files: e.g. nfo in current directory, recursive, what ever
- Feel free to wish.

Refresh and Clean Library Taking an Age/Hanging
Over the past few weeks the refresh that occurs on startup has been taking an age to complete and if I attempt to start a video whilst it's occurring the system hangs, also if I perform a cleanup the system hangs immediately (this used to take around 10 mins to complete but now just doesn't do anything and requires a power reset of the rasppi).
I assume I will need to reinstall and create a new library but is there a way to backup the play status of the library so I know what has been watched etc??

Audio and Video not working
Hi all, hoping someone can help with the issue below, details including debug log are as follows.
Note this is a fresh install, no addons or anything else that should violate the rules.
1. Version 17.4 krypton
2. Windows 7 ultimate SP1
3. CPU i3 530 2.3g
4. RAM 4GB
5. onboard intel HD graphics and audio
6. Issue: Video and audio doesnt play either in addon or local library content issue still present, new log file below). Kodi operates as normal until i open a video, it loads to 100% the running timer counts, and the screen will either be black or show a still image from the opening part of the film. Pause/play doesn't help. Deleting old addons.db files doesnt help. Uninstalilng and reinstalling Kodi doesnt help. Windows and display driver updates dont help.
Another item to note is that Kodi does not close correctly, windoes error "kodi is not responding" i have to close the program via windows.
7. Debug log - HTTPS://paste.ubuntu.com/25456731/
Any advice will be much appreciated i've run out of ideas.
Cheers

Activate more than 1 scrapper?
HI
maybe stupid question but, is it possible to active more than just 1 scrapper for the same movie folders? My problem is that one scrapper recognizing 130 movies and another one 135 for example, so each scrapper misses some movies which the other can find but it seems like its not possible to scrapp the files with different scrappers same time? i tried to add the folder 2 or 3 times just selected different scrappers but it looks like kodi just uses ONE and ignores the others then

Save movie positions
Hello,
I would like to save some movie positions. It's mainly for documentaries. I could use some parts of the movie to show to other people and if I save some positions it will be fast to find them. I know we can use bookmarks. But:
- I would like to add a small description. Only a sentence would be enough. I was not able to edit the description of the bookmark.
- At best it would be good to save those points in a separate file. In the future it could be useful if not used with kodi. But it's not necessary.
Perhaps an add-on could help, but I didn't find one until now.
Does somebody have an idea ?
Thank you!

Image back up of Android box? (Kodi)
Greetings,
I have a "Kodi" box with a few add-ons into it. What I want to know is;
1) It is an android tv box of course but, since I believe "Kodi" is more of an application/add-on, the operating system would then be android, right?
2) In case the unit screws up, it is my desire to make a back-up of the ENTIRE unit to an external flash drive. I have read all sorts of posts on u-tube and other sources and the more I read, the more I get confused. Does a procedure exist to "image" (back-up) the ENTIRE unit, operating system, add-ons and all?
That being said, If i obtained an "empty" Kodi box, would I be able to insert the back-up flash drive as mentioned above into the new/replacement box and image it to the unit?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

4K HDR Media Flags
When Kodi is adding new videos to my library I know it usually processes the media file to determine the resolution and best audio codec embedded in the file so that the Skins can display media flags when browsing the libraries. Does Kodi also determine if the video has HDR meta data embedded in it so I can search my library for all files with HDR?
I know it can't determine if videos have Atmos or DTS:X audio so I wonder if HDR falls into a similar limitation.

nfo files?
Hi All,
I'm a low-intermediate computer user. I will soon be relocating to a part of the globe will rather poor internet service, and what service is available is heavily monitored and restricted. I really just need a simple, offline/non-internet-dependent solution for video and audio entertainment. I really love the look and interaction of Kodi - seriously, it's stunning, but I've been struggling for several weeks to enter content into the software, and I really need some help.
I have ripped a few programs to .mkv, which are housed on an external NAS.
My main problem seems to center primarily around DVD extras and in particular, the generation of user-made .nfo files.
The following problem exemplifies my experience so far:
I ripped a series of videos and carefully followed the file-naming conventions detailed in the wiki. Although the UI didn't display the program in the main page at first, after re-scanning and other adjustments, it did display all of the seasons beautifully. It was a different story for the special features.
I carefully followed the instructions for labeling specials (e.g. s0e1), and Kodi did generate a 'Specials' entry in the listing; however, Kodi also changed every specials-file to an incorrect title/image, presumably based on what it gathered from the scraper (TheTVDB). In addition, it ignored seemingly random files; for example, it recognized - though incorrectly labeled - file s0e9, as well as file s0e11, but it failed to recognize file s0e10.
To deal with this problem, I followed, to the best of my understanding, some advice given in another area of this site and exported the library so as to create .nfo (and .jpeg) companion files for the main video files. I then modified the recalcitrant .nfo files to reflect the correct information. I also set the content to read local and rescanned.
Although the modifications were successful, there was an unexpected result: Kodi kicked out the previously recognized season files, even though no changes were made to those files what-so-ever. Worse still, now Kodi will not recognize the previously recognized files. I even deleted the folder from the library, and re-entered it, but the result was the same.
After searching this site as well as the wiki, I found that many people have inquired about making .nfo files, but I haven't yet found any definitive guide to this process.
I need a solid plan for dealing with series and movie extras/special features, and I would love to have basic TV/movie .nfo templates to work from; after all, the same basic informational framework must be universal to all series and films. I have tried generating my own .nfo files using MS Notepad and the examples given in the wiki (making the relevant content-specific changes), but to no avail.
How do I create .nfo files and/or manually control and enter content data? In sum, how do I make Kodi say and show what I want it to say and show?
Thanks for your help/time!
