Dialog Pop Up

Hey,

I'm trying to embed a Dialog Popup Window, which I can open from my Home Screen and by pressing one of the Label Buttons, different Scripts will be executed.
The only thing I cant get working is, that there is no backgroundcolor. I created a custom-data.xml which I could open with following content:

Code:

<window id="2345" type="dialog">
    <!--<defaultcontrol>1</defaultcontrol>-->
    <backgroundcolor>0</backgroundcolor>
    <allowoverlay>yes</allowoverlay>
    <coordinates>
      <left>100</left>
      <top>100</top>
    </coordinates>
    <controls>
        ...
    </controls>
</window>

When playing around with the backgroundcolor tag, there is no change on the dialog window background itself.

Then I tried the python version with the Dialog Class which would be nice because it looks like a "real" popup with a closing option in the corner. But here I didnt found a way to embed a label with an onclick attribute Big Grin

Code:

dialog = xbmcgui.Dialog()
ok = dialog.ok('Test', 'This is an test.')

Does somebody know, why I cant change the background color of the window?

Thanks in advance Smile!

Kodi recognise .mxf files

June 25, 2020, 4:31 am

Hi there

.mxf files are increasingly used in broadcast video production, alongside Quicktime .mov files.  ffmpeg has support for reading .mxf files.  Would it be possible for Kodi to recognise .mxf files as video and/or audio file wrappers and offer them as files in the file view, and then replay them?

As hardware becomes increasingly more powerful, and Kodi has such an excellent front end, it would be good to be able to play broadcast content within its UI without having to rewrap this content to a .mov or similar wrapper.

Thanks

Hello. Love the skin. Only one item I would like to modify. In the PVR Channel list, when I click on  a channel, it previews the channel on the background. I would prefer using the preview box on the right. Is there a way to change this behavior?

Moving Folders & Files without having to Re-Scan?

Hi guys, hope you are all well.

I am moving Movie Folders from one Hard Disk to another and I thought that I could simply 'Edit Source' and change D:Movies 2020 to E:Movies 2020 and KODI would change the path to where the file is now located. 

This doesn't seem to work though and now I have to manually scan in the new files on E and delete the old files from D.

Am I missing an easier way to do this?

Thanks.

Director's/Extended Cuts

June 25, 2020, 8:31 am

Is there a way to display a difference between various types of releases (e.g. theatrical and director's cut)?  I searched the entire Kodi forum, but have come up empty.  (The fact that searching for "director's" also brings up results for "director" doesn't help.)  I know I can create a tag for the videos or I can easily rename the video in Kodi.  If I rename them with "(Extended Cut)" at the end and disable "clear logo" then the name will show when the video is highlighted.  But, that doesn't make it obvious when browsing the artwork that there's actually a difference, just like a tag wouldn't be displayed in any way.  If "extended edition" artwork existed for every title, that would also be feasible, but we can't depend on that.  For some titles, renaming is actually a bit humourous because it looks like a tickertape from a news channel once it's highlighted and scrolling across the screen, such as  "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Edition)".

Any interest in putting something in place for this?  I was thinking maybe an overlay at the bottom, like this https://imgur.com/a/VpcmjYN.  Or, maybe just a dog-ear (small triangle) with simply "DC" or "EE" written in the triangle in the lower-left corner.  Personally, I'd also like to use such a thing to mark my 3D movies.

TinyMediaManager 3.1.6 hanging on "Getting Mediainfo"

Released TinyMediaManager 3.1.6 hanging on "Getting Mediainfo" when I try to "Update source(s)".  I can let it run all night and it never progresses.  System configuration is below.  I've tried re-installing, but it still hangs.  The drive the media being searched is a NAS drive connected through 1 GbE switch.    The mapped drive is excluded from Microsoft Defender Antivirus.  I have confirmed that the only application using network and CPU resources is TinyMediaManager when the "Getting Mediainfo" is hung.  I do however see TinyMediaManager Network read BW usage up at +700Mbps (88 MBps) in TaskManager.   What is odd, I installed the nightly update TinyMediaManager 3.1.7 (2020-06-25) with the exact same settings and do not experience any such hangs.  Anyone with a pointer on how to get this going on the released version?

Any good tutorial on python 3 threading?

June 25, 2020, 11:22 am

I'm trying to run down a problem updating an orphaned script for python3/matrix.  It runs on 18.  The problem is in the threading (at this point I haven't studied the existing code enough to understand the design).  But the problem is it's doing a thread.join and then later an .event and that's throwing an exception in threading having to do with locks when I run it in matrix.  A side issue is I've added an xbmc.Monitor() object to abort the script on profile/Kodi exit.  I don't know if that is the cause of the new exception.  I found some search results with possible issues on python 3 along these lines, but can't get further without having a better understanding about how threading model works in Py 3.  I was hoping someone could direct me to a good resource, to avoid random searching.

kodi programming help please

hi 

have a x96 mini with Kodi 18.6 on CoreELEC 9.2.2.

would appreciate help with some scripts & addons -

1) any tips on a kodi script to go back X seconds in a video and then enable subtitles then wait for X seconds & toggle subtitles off. then I would like to map that script to a key & call it from there. I tried doing the skip back & toggle subs in a single press via yatse app which has an option to combine commands but I couldn’t get it to work

2) I followed instructions from here 
https://wiki.libreelec.tv/autostart.sh
for a autostart script but that script isn’t getting executed at all. I am not posting any logs because the kodi log file doesn’t have any mention of the script. any ideas on what the issue could be?

3) I have installed the vfs addons for rar archives as I would like to unrar files remotely via a ssh terminal. but haven’t been able to execute the rar commands remotely. any tips or instructions would be helpful as there aren’t any on the addons github or the kodi wiki

thanks

Anyone having issues on 10th Gen Intel NUCs with bitstreaming Atmos or DTS:x?

June 25, 2020, 1:08 pm

My brand new NUC10i5FNH wont bitstream audio to brand new AVR especially DTS X or Atmos. My previous Celeron Gigabyte brix worked perfectly fine with intel hardware which this directly replaced. I know it's not my setup.
*update* This is now Intel case number 04708595

Symptom: Video will stutter on playback almost no motion, and no sound at all on bitstream audio.

Troubleshooting I've tried:
  1. I installed the entire driver package for my NUC and verified they are all the latest drivers as well.
  2. I've tried various players, kodi, window 10 movie player (oem one installed with w10) as well as MPCBE
  3. Swapped HDMI Cables
  4. Gigabyte Brix HTPC has no issue on same hardware and same w10 OS image.
  5. All drivers, os updates and bios updated and verified correct versions via device manager.

Regular audio works fine on same files, only when enabling bitstreaming Atmos or DTS:X content does not

The really odd thing is that the dolby access app from the w10 store will play atmos content. Not sure if this is technically bitstreamed or not.

Going on 2 nights now of trying to get this to work.

Hardware connected: Monoprice 48gbps 8k HDMI cable > Denon x4700h 8k AVR > Samsung 4k HDR 6 series tv.

Send low volume noise - Need to rise the tone and volume of this feature

June 25, 2020, 3:56 pm

Hi guys

I´ll make it short:  
I have a pair of bluetooth speakers that are acting like if they have a "noise gate" you lower the volume to a certain point and they mute completely.
I have been doing my tests and found that while using a tone generator (windows third party app) in the background, there where no more problems with my speakers, meaning that the "Send low volume noise" from kodi is not enough to keep them alive.

I´m using "AUDio MEasurement System" and configuring it to use a 20 hz tone at -49 db which is perfect for my setup.

So to make this short: I need to modify Kodi´s  "Send low volume noise" option to send a 20hz -49 db signal constantly.

Can anyone help me? 

Thanks!!

Something is broken - all movies named 0

Hi there,

something with my KODi Database is broken

Today i started KODi and every movie or Show is named '0'

First i thought it is the Database but If i Take a Look with phpmyadmin everything seems OK.

I checked The content settings, it changed to 'none' so i tried to Change, but it does Not save my Changes.

I recreated The database, Same result Not able to save The scraper.

The KODi Log seems pretty fine...

I updated KODi from 18.6 to 18.7.2 Same result.

If i use a local DB i am able to save.

My Environment:
Kodi 18.7.2 in firetv Stick 4k
Mariadb in docker
Files in nas via smb

Last Change was an Automatic Update of mariadb to 10.5.3, but If i run The older Version - Same result.


I created Backups via veeam but If i try to restore The full Backup, The Container ist Not able to Start mariadb. I think because of just copying The Files instead of making a dump.



Maybe someone can Help me.

I am running Leia 18.7 via an Android M-box. Up until 2 days I've had no issues (buffering aside). Now I can only get audio across all add-ons. I tried line of least resistance- unplug, restart - but no luck. What's going on? Suggestions? I do not have a TV program provider so there should be no blocking issue.

Kodi headless music player

Hi, I use coreelec mainly but I am open to any other platform except windows for this. Basically I want to be able to use Kodi only for music playback, without the use of a display. This is possible right now using a remote app but it doesnt allow the creation of playlists which is the only deal breaker for me. Is there some addon that can be used to achieve this. Which also includes high-res, iso, playback etc from local and network storage, and connected USB devices? I know squeezebox emulation is one option but I haven't had luck getting it to work flawlessly.

For eg, is it possible to have jellyfin installed as a player on kodi or CE and have it controlled from a phone remote app?

I have a TV usb key ( AverMedia A835 USB DVB-T) plugged in a pc  in my cellar. ( cable for tv are here ! ) receiving tv from my antenna on the roof.
I have another pc with windows 10 and KODI in my living room.

I would like to be able to stream tv to kodi and change channel from kodi.

Is there a software that can do that ?
Do someone have an idea on how to do that ?
I can put the tnt key in a raspberry if needed, and i have some very basic knowledge in dev.

thanks in advance for your help.

Kodi Check Previous Episode (Matrix+, v0.4.1+)

(Continues from https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...&page=last)

As of June 2020 I have taken over up-keep of this addon, and it is now in the Kodi Matrix (and beyond) repository. 
Thanks to Lucleonhart for the original work, and to Razzeee & enen92 on guiding the transition to Matrix/Python 3.

A simple Kodi service to:

Prevent accidental spoilers by checking the episode (in the Kodi library) prior to the one you are starting to watch, to make sure you have actually watched it.

You can mark shows where episode order doesn't matter as show to be ignored (and unmark them in the addon settings), and if you're in the habit of e.g. deleting seasons you have watched, you can force it to only check when the prior episode actually is in your library.

If it detects you've started playback of an episode you probably shouldn't have, the video will be paused, and you'll get a pop up window with options to stop playback, carry on on this occasion only, or carry on and also mark the show as one to ignore from now on.


Available from the master Kodi Repository (Matrix onwards).
Source on Github: https://github.com/bossanova808/script.s...ousepisode

Change log:

2020-06-23 - Updated for Kodi Matrix, Python 3, and minor big fixes etc.

SnapServer / SnapClient: works fine, but no sound on the server-side

Hi,

I installed the snap-server add-on on one RPi4 and the snap-client add-on on another Pi (3).
I can use AirPlay on my MacBook to stream music to the snap cast-server and then it plays on the Raspberry Pi 3 with the snap-client. So I could make a multiroom setup, with more RPi's with the snap-client.

Only a pity that the receiving RPi doesn't play the music. I installed the client-addon there as well, but that didn't help.

Any hints on this?

(Both Kodi 19)
