Disabling "browse DVD" prompt?

$

0
Hey Guys!
I started building up a little Entertainment System for a friend with Kodi.
He mainly uses DVDs, and there arent any problems with the playback itself, but the pop-up we get when inserting a dvd asking if we would like to browse through the DVD for videos, music, etc. gets a little bit annoying.

Is there an Option to disable that?

Here is a video to make clear what i mean: 

DVD: video_ts folder wrongly scanned into a series of "Video Girl"

$

Hi,
I have a couple of DVD which  are stored in a folder structured like Film (year) / video_ts / xxxx where xxxx are all the files that the DVD needs.
I added these DVD a couple of years ago and since then, everything was OK. I have added and scraped many other movies without any issues. But lately scraped a new film I added and the behaviour changed:
Basically, what the scraper is doing now is scanning the video_ts folder thinking this is a film (because in the scraping option I have set the "Films are in separate folders"). 
Therefore it's creating as many "Video Girl" movies as the amount of .ifo, .bup and .vob files it encounters within that folder.
You can see it from here:

Lost tv database again. Same problem as before.

I was adding a new show to my database this morning when it just all went to hell. I have temporarily solved the issue via dropping my tv show folder, renaming and re-adding to my database under the new name. But I can't imagine that this is an official or proper solution. It is currently re-scanning right now. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I've had to do this with the tv shows folder.

As of right now I have a couple of non existent tv show folders floating around in my mariadb which are just there. I'm unsure how to remove those as well. Any help or solution would be appreciated. I tried the database cleaner script but it just errors to a log that never gets created.

Hello, I'm developing a video plugin.
There is a sample streaming playlist located in https://d3c7rimkq79yfu.cloudfront.net/10..._480p.m3u8

After test, I found out that have to pass some url parameters and request header to the key URL https://keydeliver.linetv.tw/jurassicPark , or I will be blocked where the situation is as the following error logs show (complete logs are at gusimiteto.kodi (paste)) (from kodi.log):

I know there is a similar function in inputstream.adaptive where I can set property (listitem.setProperty('inputstream.adaptive.license_key', licURL) ).
I've tried, and inputstream.adaptive works well in acquiring keys by passing something like:

listitem.setProperty('inputstream.adaptive.license_key', 'time='+str(int(time.time() ) )+'|Referer=https://www.linetv.tw') 

Since errors happen when I was using inputstream.adaptive as following error logs (more at axosocubib.kodi (paste)) show:
Code:

I'd like to give ffmpeg a try.

Any help? Thanks very much.

Trying to test a new scraper, but it won't show up as an information source

Hey guys, I'm trying to write a new movie scraper. It's very early stages right now, but for some reason it doesn't show up under "Choose Information Provider" (only TMDb and local Information is listed). I'm doing this on a portable Kodi install so maybe that has something to do with it.

I've added it to a folder under portable_data\addons\ and I've created an addon.xml and scraper.xml as well. Kodi.log shows the plugin being loaded, and it is listed under dependencies as with a status of "Orphaned".

However, it does NOT show up under My add-ons list under either "Information Providers > Movies" or under "All"

What am I doing wrong?

v19 - Backwards Compatible addons not installable from zip

I tried 5.03 (March 5 version) As I tried github version skin shortcuts it's not installed. I tried some other addons (which I knew compatible with kodi 19) for example "radio" (rad.io / radio.de) addon. Even when I extract from zip file them and tried to enable inside kodi. says this addon not compatible with kodi 19.

On Skin Shortcuts Matrix version it's say: The dependency on xbmc.python version 2.20.0 could not be satisfied

I was able to install same github based matrix version last month.

I'm not using Kodi 19 as my main version but I made a portable setup in windows.

Logged back in after the crash, it started scanning automatically then crashed again.

Linux - Addons load forever (Prime Video, Netflix, Spotify, ...)

Kodi version: Leia 18.5
OS: Raspbian Buster Lite

Hi,

I'm using Kodi on my Raspberry Pi 4 and everything works. Only problem is, that some Addons (mostly Amazon Prime, Netflix and Spotify) are really slow. When I open the Addon it loads for a very long time before I can actually do anything inside the Addon like watch a video or listen to music. It can take up to 2 minutes before something happens. I tried to use a different network but nothing changed. Reinstalling Raspbian and Kodi didn't change anything either. Has someone experienced something like this? I could find anything on the internet. Thanks for your help Wink

Win - Kodi 18.6+ Installs AppData folder in the wrong User

$

I came across this issue while trying to fix a crashing bug I had in 18.5. Any version above 18.5, be it 18.6 or 19, will install the AppData into the user folder of the admin used to install Kodi. The issue with this is the logged in user that is launching Kodi does not have access to write to that folder, this makes all modifications done to Kodi in session only.

I need to find a fix for this, it is preventing me from using Kodi entirely on my systems. If there is a method of changing what AppData folder Kodi looks in this could fix it.

Android - Sony X950G TV stutters every 1 second when playing 4K IPTV

$

Hi there, I am running Kodi 18.6, with IPTV simple client, on Sony X9500G (aka X950G in other countries).

My IPTV is provided by local ISP so the internet speed is totally ok. But I found 4K channels always stutter a little bit (one frame? not sure) exactly every one second. It is more noticable when there are rolling subtitles on the screen. 1080p channels are ok.

Besides, some channels may go out of tune sometimes, like a terrible singer.

I tried Kodi on my PC, and there was no problem. Is it a compatibility issue with my TV? Can't figure out why.

FYI the TV is made in 2019 with new CPU/GPU and 3G RAM, Andriod 9.

Thanks.

Alternative to StringIsEqual boolean for non-focused panel items

$

I've got a little animation that displays over an artist's or album's artwork in my music library when a song from that artist or album is playing. It works fine in most of my views. You can see it in the video below.

https://cl.ly/7b69c7df1948

As you can see at the end of the clip, it's not working for my panel view, the reason being that the visibility condition is based on a String.IsEqual boolean and those only work for focused items in panel views according to the Skinning Manual.

<visible>[Container.Content(artists) + String.IsEqual(ListItem($PARAM[position]).Artist,MusicPlayer.Artist)] | [Container.Content(albums) + String.IsEqual(ListItem($PARAM[position]).Album,MusicPlayer.Album)]</visible>

So the question I have is, does anyone know how I can identify in a panel view if a non-focused listitem matches what is currently playing in the music/video player?

how best to add a DVD colection of Cartoons

I have Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 1-6 and would like to add them to Kodi via Ember.
each volume is a collection of disks, and array of cartoons that are not orderd by air date or season.
I can't seem to find the best way to add and looking for suggestions.
IMDB has a list of the episodes - as a list for each volume.  
For example - vol1 = https://www.imdb.com/list/ls005376378/
How best can I add that to Ember / to create all the necessary files for Kodi to display.
[ Ember does not allow for adding IMDB references that are lists ]

Horrible Ghosting problem in Xiaomi Mi TV Box S

$
0
0
Hello everyone. Recently I have ben experiencing ghosting problems in 2D movies. I didn´t notice it before, I think it has appeared after the update to android 9.0 released recently by xiaomi.
Well, After doing a thounsand tests, changing the cables, settings, everything, it seems that I have found the solution, but it is not a very definitive solution for me:

I have disabled the option "Hardware acceleration mediacodec surface". With it enabled the ghosting is horrible, with it disabled the ghosting disappeares. It is curious, because the ghosting also appeares in VLC app, so I assume that the problem has to do with the hardware or the system of Xiaomi. Disabling hardware acceleration in VLC makes the ghosting less noticeable, but it is still there, it does not dissapear completly as it does in Kodi....

Anyway, by disabling the option in Kodi, another problem comes with the 3D movies. The control panel is not welll located and the 3d movies are not correctly detected... It is weird, I don´t seem to notice any ghost with the option enabled playing 3D movies. so what I will need to do is to let the option disabled for most movies (2D), and only enable it when playing 3D movies.

Then, what is the cause of this problem?. I have tried the same movie a thousand times, with another devices with kodi, Xbox one, android TV sticks.... and all play the movie perfectly fine with hardware acceleration on, why does xiaomi behave so bad?... I have never had problems with the hardware acceleration options in the past during the whole life of kodi, even when it was XBMC.....

I guess that with the update, Xiaomi has broken something regarding their hardware decoding  and so, if you enable kodi option, kodi tries to use the decoding of the Xiaomi system, and as it is broken, the movie plays with the ghosting problems.... can it be so?....

Well, here is my story, lets hope some expert can solve my doubts and give me a definitive solution in order not to be changing the option anytime I want to see 3D movies.....


Best regards and thank you in advance.

Bluray Full Menu

Buongiorno,
utilizzo l'ultima versione di Kodi (18.6) per windows.
Provando a riprodurre un bluray iso, i menu del bluray non funzionano.
Ho visto che nelle impostazioni sulla parte di player c'è la possibilità di impostare la riproduzione del menu completo invece che semplificato, ma selezionandolo ottengo errore.
qualcuno mi può aiutare a capire come mai?
grazie

Command line - remove all files from parent folders?

Hi there.

I am trying to tidy up my Movie folder at the moment.

I have a single "Movie" folder and about half of my movies are single files within it.

However, the rest of the movies are in their own directory - e.g. /Rocky_(1976)/Rocky_(1976).ts

Is there a single command that will move all files, that are in a directory, into the Movie folder (thus leaving all the parent folders empty)?

Scrappers do not scrap (LE 9.2.0 on Rpi3)

LibreElec 9.2.0 on RPi3

Here's the log: http://ix.io/2dNt

TVDB and TMDB Scrappers don't scrap. They do run (I see the series names in the corner while scraping) but no information gets scrapped, not even episode names. Metadata like summaries are completely blank. I do not have .nfo. files in the series folders. There's plenty of disk space free, network works fine. Both of these worked in the past. Any tips? Thanks!

Multi Disc Titles that are not one movie.

$

There are a lot of threads around about multi-disc movies, however I have not found anything that answers my question, so apologies if it's a duplicate.

Stacking is currently not working for Disc folders and iso files, so the main suggestion is to use something like dvd shrink, and merge discs, which of course results in losing menus, and therefore having to rip out extras separately.
However it is possible.

But, what about when you have a "set", which is not a single item to watch, and not a series?

Take for example "Michael Jackson's Vision", or "London Olympics 2012".

You really can't rip out all the individual items in a way that makes sense (or at least not at all easily), the menu system is fairly important for titles like this.

So really, you want to select the single title in Kodi, then have an option for which disk you want to play... however I can't see how to do this.

I suppose one could manually create the 3 titles and make them a movie set, however I don't really want them to appear in movies...

What's the best approach anyone's found, or am I just missing some obvious way to do this?

Thanks

Dave
