Adding files remotely

Hi there
I am a newbie and struggling to find a solution to my problem.

I have a Raspberry Pi3 and an external HDD connected. Kodi works great.
My question is - is there a way to see the HDD on the network so I can add other files without disconnecting the HDD?

Thanks

Randomly crashes when starting a H265 file. Sometimes it plays, usually it crashes

$

Since version 18.2, I was hoping 18.3 would fix my issue but doesn't appear to have done.

I have reviewed the threads and came across one that mentioned disabling the rendering acceleration, which didn't solve my issue.

I run Windows 10 on Sumvision Cyclone Mini PC box (Intel CherryTrail CPU), with Kodi desktop application running.

My issue is, whenever I attempt to load a H265 file or a Blu-ray MKV (whether it's standard, 10bit, 12bit), 75% of the time, it would crash immediately. Killing Kodi, then running it again, hoping it would load, eventually it loads and plays the file seamlessly.

Has anyone had the same issue as me?

Have saved down a log file here xetejefiqa.kodi (paste)

Help would be hugely appreciated!!

Request - Smart Playlists: Ability to filter by Watched status.

$
0
0
Yes I know there's the ability to filter by play count but in the same reason that watched status exists in addition to play count.  It's important to have the ability to mark things as watched even if you aren't playing them through kodi.

I have thousands of watched movies and tv shows that I've watched, and are marked watched, yet there's no way to create playlists to filter them without workarounds.

Kodi FTP setup problems

For awhile I had Kodi setup to access my server via SFTP. Since my server got reloaded I can no longer access my server through Kodi. Filezilla is able to access the server. I am using Kodi 17.6. I have 3 different devices 2 Android (Shield & X96max) and a Windows 10 computer. None of them can access the server from Kodi. Am I missing anything that I may have overlooked? Of course the people who work on my server cannot help since its a Kodi issue.

Feature Request - Force Date Added in DB the same as Aired Date

0
I'm troubling with movie aired before the 1970 and the dateadded tag is not the same as the creation date (i use filebot as renamer and fix the LastAcces, Creation and Modified date the same of the Aired Date). With the movie/episodes after the 1970 there aren't no problem the tag dateadded is the same as the creation date of the video file.

I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64bit and i think the problem is the OS or the filesystem (btw i use NTFS).
If is possible to add the general options to force the Date Added field (and of course the <dateadded> </dateadded> tag in the NFO file) the same as the Aired Date of the scraped Movies or Episodes from a TV Shows.

ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting

I am getting the "ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting" Error when trying to run Kodi 18 and 19.
I also tried Kodi 17 but that kept crashing after a few seconds in.
The only version I got to work is "Kodi 16.0ALPHA4 Git:20151026-05c25be".
I simply don't want to use this version anymore because it is way too old and many addons just don't work.
I've tried many solutions from other people but so far none of them worked.
My setup is kind of unique:
I am running Kodi on windows 8 which is in a virtualbox running on a dell r710 server running Ubuntu server.
I am accessing this windows 8 virtualbox using Remote Desktop (mstsc).
I've looked at the error logs and most of the errors are about sound devices not found.
And since it is a virtualbox that is not strange at all.

This is the log file:

FLIRC USB question

$
0
0
Does the FLIRC receiver just do everything in a software driver or can it's ARM proc inside actually be mapped via firmware to send specific keyboard presses as a hardware device?

I'm asking because I recently picked up a Lenovo M93P Tiny that I'm going to sup up with Kodi (i7 4750HQ ordered, bwa ha ha ha) and it has one specific USB port that the keyboard command 'Alt-P' will power it on even from being totally powered off.  So I'd like to know that if I had a FLIRC adapter, could it be configured to send Alt-P to the USB port as a USB keyboard, upon seeing a specific IR signal, or if all that instead can only happen in software once the OS is running?

Another TV Shows will not scan into Library

$

I have a fairly new install of Kodi on a firestick that I can't seem to make the TV Shows folder scanned into the Library. I have an install on a Windows machine that doesn't seem to have any issues scanning the same TV folder into its library. The difference with the setup is the windows install loads the library from a local drive but the firestick install loads the files from an ftp server in the windows machine.

Would like to request assistance in troubleshooting. I can force the tv shows to load by scanning each folder to library but it will not load the whole source by itself.

Because my TV is not an Android tv i want to use an Smart TV Box for it And i want to listen Music and watch photos and videos with kodi. But to have some storage i want to use an external Storage to save all those files in it and play it with kodi on my tv.
Is it also possible to use an ftp server for this? I hope you guys can answer my questions, thanks.

All versions non responsive on launch

hello, so I have been using kodi for years, I hadnt updated in a long time because that old cliche, if it aint broke dont fix it.

But my app started crashing anytime I tried anything internet related, updating library, downloading artwork, downloading skins etc etc

Had the same setup with my firewall for a long time so doubted that was the issue, but to be sure I disabled all my security/firewall stuff and still same problem

so i uninstalled kodi, using revo uninstaller, then ran ccleaner to be thorough, restarted and got a fresh download of 18.3

But as soon as I installed it it started becoming non responsive on launch, even when running them as admin too, couldnt even close it in task manager had to force log off or restart computer to get rid of it.

Tried a fresh download again, also tried other versions and nightly builds, thank you but for the life of me none of them will work,

Never asked for help here before but I beleive this is the right info to provide Kodi.log

thank you

Trakt ID link

Is it possible to bring back the link to Trakt from the ID? For example, the Trakt ID is 12345 for a movie, the link is https://trakt.tv/movies/12345. This is obviously not critical, but since one cannot copy the ID from the GUI, having the link there would save a good deal of time.

subtitles

Is there a place where I might set tMM to allow for subtitles of different languages and different versions of the same language, where the renamer will not foul up? For example, I might have a subtitle file for English, English SDH and Spanish. Currently, I can place all three in the folder, but when the renamer is run, it does not seem to recognize the differences and tries to rename to the same file name.

All downloaded images are corrupted

I'm using tmm 3.0.2 on some tv shows and it downloads images...but they are all invalid and corrupt. The images it downloads vary in size but none of them open as valid images. If I run the linux "file" command on the downloaded images it shows up as "data"
Quote:file /folder/Who Is America!/banner.jpg
/folder/Who Is America!/banner.jpg: data
Whereas a normal image file looks like:
Quote:file /folder/Bam\'s\ World\ Domination/poster.jpg
/folder/Bam's World Domination/poster.jpg: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01, resolution (DPI), density 96x96, segment length 16, Exif Standard: [TIFF image data, big-endian, direntries=1, orientation=upper-left], baseline, precision 8, 680x1000, frames 3

Kodi crashes during library update

$
0
0
This just started happening out of the blue on Friday. I have Kodi 18.3 installed on my old Fire TV (not stick). It was previously 18.2, but I tried upgrading to the latest stable version yesterday as part of my troubleshooting. Initially, I had video library update at startup enabled, so Kodi was crashing a few seconds after launching it. In order to be able to troubleshoot this further, I ended up pulling down backup files with adblink, disabling that in the guisettings.xml file, then restoring and overwriting the existing settings file. Then I enabled debugging on what I thought would most likely be relevant areas of the system, killed Kodi, launched it and started a manual library update, which of course caused it to crash. Here's a link to the log contents, from application launch to termination:

rejolugagi.kodi (paste)

If anyone could please take a look and identify for me what I'm unable to interpret in all of this -- hopefully the cause of my headaches -- it would be greatly appreciated. Just let me know if I need to add in more debugs and repost.

Kodi crashing when starting video playback

$
0

I've disabled scan on startup.
I have manually patched the tvdb.xml.
I have updated "metadata.tvdb.com" to the new version.
I have renamed all TV-related *.nfo files to *.nfo_ so that they're not scanned.
I have removed all addons that even mention tvdb.com, including:
- metadata.tvdb.com
- metadata.tvshows.themoviedb.org
- script.artwork.beef
- script.artwork.helper
- script.extendedinfo
- script.grab.fanart
- script.module.metadatautils
- script.module.metahandler
- script.module.thetvdb
- script.module.trakt
- script.trakt
- script.tv.show.next.aired

... but still Kodi freezes on the first frame of any video i play!

Here's the crashlog: amexiwucew.kodi (paste) - any thoughts?
Just as a sidenote, this box has been behaving exceptionally well up to the point that TVDB switched to their new API. :-(
