I know this is an old thread, but I do encounter kodi not playing some mkv files from the video library. They play just fine in VLC and MX Player. Is there a codec I can install maybe.

Kodi, skins in portrait Mode, add overscan?

$

Hello, I need to use Kodi (CarPC) skin with Display in a Portrait Mode (720x1280)...
As the skin is always in fullscreen the skin looks stretched.
Is there a way to add on the top and bottom some overscan to make the SKIN less stretched?
The orginal resolution should keep the same because I have for example 720x1280 pictures which I need to show on the correct resolution.
With Interface - Display (expert Mode) I didn't have any option to set the resolution or a overscan for the skin.
Zoom doesn't help as it add on all side a "overscan" if zoom out.

Does somebody have an idea?

thank you

(For example retropie is it doing it exactly "correctly" - it keep the aspect ratio and does not stretch something, on the other hand if I want show pictures/slideshow it is important for me that the fullscreen is using.)

thank you

Programm, add-on for drawing lines (whiteboard)

Hello, I just would like to know if there is somewhere a programm or add-on available which makes possible to draw lines (on a white background) per touchscreen. (multitouch up to 5 finger would be very appreciate).
similar to follow link below, please note: the link can only be tested with smartphones, as it needs a touchscreen.

so is very simple…
If that is not available, is there somebody that could program that for me? And what will be the cost?
thank you very much

v18 - Setup remote control with key id > 255

$
0
0
Hey,
I got Kodi 18 beta 3 mostly working on Ubuntu 18.04 server, except for the remote control. Numbers, Vol Up/Down and Mute works out of the box, but that's it. I tried to create a keymap.xml file, but without any success:

I have no idea how to get the key ids. I can use evtest and it shows them nicely, but that are not the same numbers. I read somewhere Kodi ORs them with 0xf000, but that's not giving me the correct ids for Kodi. I can figure out the numbers from the log, that's really annoying, but ok.

Keys that have numbers >255 in evtest are not recognised at all. I read somewhere the X11 server does not let them pass and I have to remap them, but remapping does not work anymore since some release of Ubuntu/Kernel...

Is there a simple way to set up the remote in Kodi? Like directly using the input device and not using the X server?

Best regards
Stefan

How to SetMovieDetails with "Video.Rating.Set"?

$
0
0
Currently I have a script that sets a video rating using VideoLibarary.SetMovieDetails with params of "rating":"new_rating"

I want to upgrade this to "ratings" where I create variables with the rating names (actual use case is "video" and "audio").  Per the schema I need to send a Video.Rating.Set in the params block, but I don't know what that set should look like?  Do I also have to set "rating"?  It seems like "rating" is intended to return the default member of "ratings" but I don't see how this is controlled?  I don't want to overwrite any scraped ratings.

Is it possible  to change the default action from play movie to movie detail page .

Returning user--what do I need to do

I last used Kodi a few years ago, but recently got a 2014 Mac Mini to turn into another media center box with my backed up personal DVDs.  I used to have a setup with what I believe was the Backrow theme, and the Cinema Experience add on so that when I played a movie from my library it would pull a trailer, then play a "start-up" sound, then maybe trigger a script to turn off the lights if I set it up correctly.

I have downloaded and installed 17.6 Krypton but haven't been able to recreate the functionality of what I used to have.  Does the Cinema Experience add-on still work or is there another way to get this functionality?  As I recall, only a few skins supported that Cinema Experience add-on, but I can't find anything current about that add-on and current skins.

Is it possible to recreate my old set up?

If so, what skin do I need and what add-on do I need?

Thanks!

v17 - Multi-part episode help

$

I have a movie that's part of a series on theTVDB and would like to keep it categorized with the TV series and not as a stand-alone movie. 

My problem is that the movie is in two parts at different resolutions so I'm unable to mux them together. According to the wiki, they have to be listed on theTVDB as parts to work correctly which it isn't. Is there a way to manually edit the nfo/s to have them play as a single episode? I could then set the nfo/s as read only to avoid an accidental scrape.

My only thought was to map them to consecutive numbers beyond the last special, but then my play order would be borked without hand editing everything. Any insight is most appreciated.

Cheers

Display settings for Kodi running on an old mac to a new 4k tv

Hi - bit of a tech newb....running Kodi on a MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) connected via thunderbolt HDMI adapter

Was running to a 1080 HDTV, just upgraded to a 4k display.

I'm having trouble figuring out the optimal display settings in Kodi.

The Mac specs are:

2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
4GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB

TV specs:
3840 x 2160 (UHD) resolution
240 MHz refresh rate

What are the optimal display resolution settings in Kodi? Maximum option appears to be 1920 x 1080.

And what settings should I adjust if I experience lagging or if images on screen show odd artifacts?

XBOX - Video source changes IP - NFS

$

0
Using Kodi with Xbox One X and a MyCloud running NFS protocol for streaming videos.

Every time I need to reset the router for whatever reason or disconnect power, the IP address resets which then means I have to remove, clean and then rescan all my sources AGAIN in Kodi. I've had to do it about 4 times already and it really is super annoying.

I have a FireTV as back up for when this happens, but it doesn't seem to happen because it's using SMB.

Is there a way to avoid this, or am I stuffed because of NFS?

Thanks guys.

Kodi Krypton / Fire TV - New episodes for existing series are not being added

$

Hi all,

I'm really struggling to fix this issue. The problem is:

The scraper will only add episodes if it is a brand new program. Any new episodes to a series are completely missed. I.e, if i add episode 2 and 3 to an existing episode 1, Kodi will not add them to the library.

Movies are added perfectly, and I can access all files via the file browser option.

I read that there was a TVDB database issue, however not only have I rescraped my whole library, I actually factory reset and wiped my whole Fire Tv and fresh installed Kodi, having deleted all the files with ADB as a precaution.

The problem still persists.

My files are located on a NAS, which Kodi streams from. I load my media via syncing the NAS with an external harddrive attached to my PC. I did replace my external hard drive recently, but cannot see why that should cause any issues as Kodi reads from the NAS not the hard drive.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is very frustrating to have the problem turn up out of the blue (a few months ago, Ive just been living with it until now) and not be able to solve it, even with a factory reset.

Thank you!

Since I use an external hard drive (Toshiba DTW130), every day when I start the first video I get green rotating circles in the center of the screen. This takes about 15 minutes and all the while the remote control stops responding.
After this I can play all videos without problems.
I use a Mac mini and Kodi Leila Alpha 3 (Beta 3 gave problems with Harmony Elite).

I'm thinking of collecting information, updating the library ... but I checked out all I could suspect
