If i try to open video file mp4, mkv file there is no problem, but when i try olay video from m3u or m3u8 files Kodi going to shutdown. Anybody knows fix for that problem?

Any ways to make an addon perform actions before the databank gets called?

Hi,

pretty new in addon development and I am struggling with something I want my addon to do and I couldn't find anything on it by googling. Namely: Exectue a tiny task (like a Ping) before the MySQL database get's accessed. Is this even possible? Can I hardcode something like this into advanced settings (checked the wiki but didn't find anything)? Pretty much looking for any way to do something within Kodi, not external before the MySQL get's accessed.

Cheers

Video library filtering

Hi all,

I am wondering how can I achieve the following scenario:
I have a NAS with Mysql centralized database for kodi. Three RPis with Libreelec use this database for films and music.
Now I want to add a new client for my daughter, but I wish limit the access to the video library to show only films for kids or animation films.

The question is: how to achieve this?
User customization inside kodi?
Is possible to filter films shown by category with advancedsettings.xml?

I hope you can help me with this topic.

Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

Weatherbit.io - Error when in polar night

$

I've been getting an error whenever the weatherbit plugin has been pulling the forecast for the last little while.  I finally looked into the log today and it seems like the error is likely due to where I live currently not having any sunrise or sunset due to polar night.

I've put what I thought is the relevant part of the log below, but I've pasted the full log at xaxohabawi.kodi (paste)

Python programming developement environment?

Hello,

Is there a Kodi plugin development environment that would allow for debugging a Kodi plugin as it is run? Looking for a way to step through a plugin using Kodi or a kodi simulator on one screen while watching what the code is doing on another screen. Is this a possibility?

Thanks!

2 Problems in regards to MusicDB (with kodi-hedless)

$
0
0
Hi there.

Using the following setup:
  1. Setup Kodi on my laptop (set language to german)
  2. Set up a MysqlDB server and connected Kodi to it
  3. Added my music sources & scanned them into the DB
  4. Copied the .kodi folder to my server and setup a kodi-headless instance running in a docker container (self built linuxserver/kodi-headless to include german locale)
So far so good. The kodi-headless instance is running fine and my clients are able to connect to the MysqlDB. "All fine", but...

I'm facing 2 problems with this setup:

1.) 
If I do a DB-update on the server it scans in some albums although they were scanned in fine already an the laptop. If I do an update on the laptop afterwards, it scans in the same albums again, although multiple updates on the server did not result in anything newly scanned in. This is strictly reproduceable. So doing an update on the laptop, it scans in some already scanned albums on the first update. Any further update runs without any "mysql execute". If I then update the DB on the server, it's the same. The same albums are scanned in again on the first update, whereas any further update runs without any "new" items. So it's always the same albums that are scanned in again.
I can't seem to find any reason why some albums are always scanned in on the one side or the other. 

Question: what would be the best way to identify, why some albums are recognized as "to be scanned again", whereas the large majority gives 
Code:
DoScan Skipping dir '....' due to no change
I tried "grepping" (tail -f .kodi/temp/kodi.log | grep "Mysql execute") and searching the logs for re-scanned albums, but I can't really find the cause. I also did re-build the docker container for to have both instances (laptop & server) running on the same locale to no avail. I'm not able to identify why those albums are re-scanned ;(

2.)
Another thing I'm noticing is that if I do scan my sources on my laptop, the sourceid table on the DB is populated fine. A
Code:
SELECT * from source;
gives a table with all sources and the corresponding IDs, Name & Path.
After a library update on the server, the source table is gone!? If updating on the laptop again, the source table is populated again, but IDs change and are counted onwords. If the sources had IDs from 1-30, they afterwards have 31-60.

Anyone with ideas on that?

4k and Audio pass-through with USB works but not over WIFI

$

Hi everyone, I hope it is the right place to post this question.

When I try to stream a 4k movie with some DTS audio, 5.1 using PLEX and using 5Ghz WIFI connection, audio is not passed through - it looks like it is not delivered, the app doesn't recognize it and actually I have no sound (until I switch off passthrough). If I use a USB flash to play the same movie it works. I have some yamaha receiver but that is not the problem since the only problem is using WIFI / or PLEX addon (but KODI's player is used).

Any other movie with 1080p and DTS 5.1 works without any problem. So it is only the problem with audio when I play 4k movie.

This is the device I use:
Android 4.0 Amlogic S912 TV Box WiFi 2.4G/5.8G
The support decoder format: UHD 4 K 60fps HW/H.265 10 bit, H.264/AVS + FHD 1080P 60fps HW/H.264

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Why no WMC-like skin?

$

Well, I am new to Kodi. It seems to be a good program, and I still have far to go in understanding all of its capabilities. For example, I am not sure if it can see Ceton cable card tuners in Win10. If it can, that would be spectacular. If that is the case, then why has no one developed a WMC-like skin. People do not like learning curves. Once someone has used a program like WMC for years to run their home theater, they will be extremely hesitant to switch to a new interface. OTOH, if Kodi had a skin that looked just like WMC and could see Ceton cable tuners in Win10, lots and lots and lots of home theater folks would jump on board. All of the people still using Win7 boxes to run their home theater would love to upgrade to a Win10/Kodi, cable card tuning, WMC interface. Thoughts?

Any idea ?

Who is the maintainer of pvr.hdhomerun now?

I would like to share some information about some changes being made by SiliconDust that will very likely affect the function of the pvr.hdhomerun addon.  Is there currently a maintainer of this addon I can contact? 

It's in regard to accessing the HDHomeRun-based EPG data -- the current API appears set to go away (soon?) and is being replaced with an XMLTV-based API, but that looks like that will be limited only to HDHomeRun DVR Service subscribers.  I'm happy to assist if so desired.

Why is Kodi opening so many parallel server connections?!

$
0
0
I tried to use my WebDAV Cloud as library source. My problem is that my cloud provider does only allow more than 6 parallel downloads per IP. Now I tried the following:

1.) I open the Webclient to my cloud. Then I start as much downloads as possible. 6 parallel downloads are running, the 7th does not start.
2.) I open a second browser window and try to load the Webclient. It does not load, status says "search for socket". I kill one download... the webclient loads after 5 seconds.
3.) I kill all downloads and wait 5 minutes. Then I open Kodi -> TV Shows -> Add videos... -> Browse -> Click on davs://example.com:443/remote.php/webdav -> Nothing happens -> Kodi does not react for around 10 seconds, the "Browse for new share" popup reloads.
4.) I try to oben the WebDAV cloud in my browser. It does not react. This means Kodi has still 6 parallel download connections open.
5.) I close Kodi and open the Webclient again... "search for sockets"... after 2 minutes (!) the Webclient loads. This means Kodi blocked 6 or more connections for 2 minutes altough Kodi is not open anymore. I tested this behaviour through Android and Windows.
6.) I repeat 1.). Again 6 parallel downloads are possible without problems.

This means Kodi opens more than 6 connection only by clicking on a davs:// address to display its folder structure, why?! Of course I'm not able to play movies without judder. Kodi opens and opens connections like crazy. I tried to find an option to limitate parallel connections through advancedsettings.xml, but sadly such a setting does not exist. Is Kodi a DoS app or a media player ^^

Episodes as DVD covers, not thumbnails

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if it's possible to view a show's episodes as DVD covers instead of thumbnails. Rifftrax, MST3K, and Cinematic Titanic all have entire movies as episodes, so their images are all DVD covers, and I would like to view the whole cover rather than a thumbnail. Is this possible?

Delayed Start of Music Playback

$

Windows 10 Pro, KODI 18.4.

I have a problem with the start of play for music tracks. It's less than one second, but enough to chop off the beginning of a song. I've had this problem since Eden and am now on my 4th build of KODI on different computers. (I know, why have I waited so long.) It was an annoyance to me but now my sister wants me to fix hers. I haven't found a similar problem with a search, which is surprising given all the builds I've done.

I've tried changing just about every setting I can find related to music playback, but perhaps it's right there in front of me and I'm to stupid to recognize it. Any ideas?

New to KODI - a few questions

$
0
0
First I want to say I love KODI. I am a hoarder, and over the years I have accumulated a ton of Movies and TV Shows on my PC, and KODI is helping me to find things to watch I never even knew I had. So far, all I am using KODI for is to organize my existing videos - I am not interested in any of the illegal stuff it can do.

As for my questions:

1. I found a guide (here) that helped me set up KODI to use VLC when I play a video. I have used VLC for many, many years and am used to the format. My issue is, I can't figure out how to play Movie trailers with the VLC fix active. Below is the code I use:
  • <playercorefactory>
  •   <players>
  •     <player name="VLC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
  •       <filename>C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe</filename>
  •       <args>--fullscreen "{1}"</args>
  •       <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
  •     </player>
  •   </players>
  •   <rules action="prepend">
  •     <rule video="true" player="VLC"/>
  •   </rules>
  • </playercorefactory>
I don't care if I play them through VLC or through KODI, but I would like to be able to play the movie trailers somehow.

2. My next question involves the MPAA ratings. I have them working, but is there any way to get the extended MPAA ratings which show the Violence, Language and Nudity for films?

3. For weather, I have been trying to use the OpenWeatherMap Extended, but all I can figure out how to do is display the temperature, which isn't always accurate. Is there a better one to use?

I think this is all the questions I have for now. Please simplify any answers given as I am not good at programming if possible.
