Renamer - the file name contains "note"

Hello
I try to insert "note" in the file name in a quite specific way but somehow I fail.
note:
1 - "A"
2 - "B" - all other than "A"
3 - the "note" field is empty
If "A" is  - (#A)
If different then  - (2 # B)
If empty, nothing

Try:
${if movie.note = "A"}(#A)${else}${end} ${if !movie.note = "A"}(2#B)${else}${end}
it works - but if the note field is empty it gives the result (2#) - and I need the "note" field to be empty - nothing added to the file name

How to improve it?

MySQL library no longer accessible on NVIDIA SHIELD (both 2015 and 2019)

Hello,

I'm running Kodi 18.7 on two Shields, one is the 2015 Pro and the other is the 2019 Pro. I use a shared database for the library, running MariaDB 10.5.4 in a docker container (the official docker image - https://hub.docker.com/_/mariadb). The videos in the library reside on a FreeNAS server and are shared via SMB.
I had no issues until recently, I believe it was a recent update to MariaDB. Now on both Shields, the library only shows 0's instead of names for both movies and TV shows, however the resume points and watched statuses are preserved. When I try playing anything, Kodi acts as if it can't find the files (see screenshots below)

A debug log: https://paste.kodi.tv/kagudatuce.kodi
And here are the screenshots:

https://imgur.com/a/JGWJfxo

I'd like to mention that the database and SMB shares are working, and I verified this by trying with Kodi on a Windows PC, which seems to work just fine. Also, I can browse the shares with PC's running Windows and Linux, and I can also connect to the database using normal Windows/Linux clients.

Video plugin for aggregating sources

Hi,

I got an idea to create a new one (or to use existing, if there's one) add-on that allows to pass it parsed movies / website data (categories, video sources, ...) and it will display it properly. So, instead of having separate add-on for every website, I would prefer to have a programmable interface that will allow to add any website by just specifying it's parsing details.

Do you know if there's already something like this existing or should it be created from scratch?

I've seen something similar at The Crew add-on but it's not public for adding new entries AFAIK.

Watched and resume status with an external player

Hello all,

I use an external player with Kodi, MPC-BE. With the Kodi player the "watched and resume" statuses are working. But with the External player they don't.
 
I saw that we can enter in the playercorefactory the command "playcountminimumtime", that's good but not ideal when you have videos from 23minutes to 3hours.

It would be ideal to being able to use with the external player the setting that are in the Advancedsetting.xml file below but it dosen't work :

<advancedsettings>
  <video>
    <playcountminimumpercent>90</playcountminimumpercent>
    <ignoresecondsatstart>60</ignoresecondsatstart>
    <ignorepercentatend>10</ignorepercentatend>
  </video>
</advancedsettings>


It is possible ?

I probably missed something, what I should add or modify please ?

Many thanks for your help,
Gab

Subtitle background color opactity always at 100%

Hello folks,
turning on the background color opacity function is totally bugged for me.
At 0% it isn't there, but getting above 0% (anything from 1% to 100%) puts it into 100%. The color is fully there, you can't see through it. 
I tried on two different devices and same issue (one windows 10, one windows 7). Running Kodi 18.6 on both machines.
I tried also configuring the settings manually in the main Kodi files but no avail. I installed and uninstalled Kodi many times and it's the same issue.

Add "AND/OR" filter rules for Smart Playlists and Nodes

June 28, 2020, 8:32 am

The current implementation of 'rules' for smart playlists and nodes is quite limiting.

For example, creating the following smart playlist is (while not impossible) very long winded and probably wouldn't work properly anyway. This is because the current setup is using the 'items must match all rules'/'items must match one or more rules' instead of AND/OR operators for each rule.

Example rule to set up: only have movies that are either an Action movie or a Thriller, but is not rated below a PG-13.

If (like in Plex) AND/OR operators were available, the setup would be as simple as:

Genre is: Action OR Thriller
MPAA Rating is not: G or PG

However, since they're not, the setup become much more complicated being:

Items Must Match all Rules
Genre is not: Comedy
Genre is not: Musical
Genre is not: Drama
Genre is not: SciFi
Genre is not: (*All genres except Action/Thriller basically*)
MPAA Rating is not: G
MPAA Rating is not: PG

As you can see, that is a very long winded way of having to do it, and I don't think it would even work, since you can have an action or thriller movie that's also scifi for example. If I were to set it to 'Genre IS: Action, Genre IS: Thriller', then it'll only show movies that have both the Action AND Thriller genre tags attached to them.


Plex seem to how it down the best, and the first example is taken from the way Plex filter rules work:
  1. You simply select the 'thing(s)' you want to filter (such as genre, mpaa, length, studio etc)
  2. Then select the filter options you want (is, is not, contains, does not contain, begins with, ends with, is before, is after, in the last, not in the last)
  3. Then select/enter the actual word/phrase you want to filter (Action OR Thriller etc) with an AND/OR between each of the genres (in this case).

I imagine this has been asked about tonnes of times, and I did have a scout around for any kind of voting system for feature requests etc, but couldn't find anything.

Please consider implementing this as it would make Kodi's smart Playlists, Nodes & the Widgets much more powerful & customisable.

Cheers!

Replace the icon of the program

Hello,

In Windows, is there a possibility to change the program icon? I would like to change it for something more meaningful related to movies, for my home media PC.

The goal is to have another icon for the program in its title bar and in the Windows task bar

I've tried to replace the tmm.png file with another png image.

I've tried too to replace the executable icon with the Resource Hacker tool.

Both with no luck.

Thanks.

Kodi is setting my TV's volume to max. (when using

June 28, 2020, 10:12 am

Hi!

Short version : when using my LG tv as external player, kodi forces its volume setting on my TV. I need kodi to stop doing this.

I am using kodi on a Raspberry under Raspberry OS. I never use Kodi's internal volume control because I have so many devices hooked up to my TV, I just set every single one of them to about 90% and use the tv's remote. That works fine with Kodi's internal video player.

But I prefer use BOTH kodi's own player (among other reasons to use automatic searching for subtitles) and my TV's video player because it just looks better and I get to use the full power of the remote. But whenever I use the 'play using..' LGTV feature, it takes the kodi volume setting, which, as I explained is preferably set to almost 100% and sends it to my TV, which is normally at around 12% for a comfortable level.

Can I stop Kodi from doing this? I can see how this is a useful feature in most external player scenarios, just not when using a smart TV's own player. I am surprised kodi can even use the LG WebOS player, it is really cool, but it's just not flawless right now.

I literally had a movie playing at 100% volume at 5 AM in the morning, waking up the whole neighbourhood because I forgot to check the volume level after using the internal video player. Neither my pet, wife and heart are happy with me.

Thanks!

How to scan a single drive when multiple drives are attached to a TV box?

June 28, 2020, 10:49 am

Hi, 
I have a Ugoos AM6 Plus TV Box.
Connected to its USB 3.0 port is a 7 port USB 3.0 hub which has 6 HDD's attached to it.
Each drive has a different genre of content. 

Kodi sees them all and fails to scan after a few minutes because it claims it lost the connection to the server. 
On another forum, I was told it was too much data for Kodi to process in one hit and that I should try scanning each drive separately. That worked however...
The problem I'm having now is that with all 6 HDD's connected again, Kodi will not permit me to scan a single drive.
If I select Update the library, rather than scan that particular drive, it starts scanning all of them in alphabetical order of the drives' content. And that, of course, leads to failure. 

Is there no way I can get Kodi to scan only the drive I am actually reading? 
For example, let's say I am viewing the content of my TV series collection, what I want is to be able to update the library on that drive alone. 
If it makes any difference, I'm using Leia v18.7 with the Confluence skin.

I have a strange issue with my RPi4.
The RPi4 is configured to access a MySQL database for series and movies which is hosted on anohter RPi4.
When I browse series or movies, the PRi4 just hangs and reboots itself (Kodi).
The issue occurs on the latest official LE 9.2.3 build, but also on the Milhouse builds.

The poblem does not occur on 2x RPi3 LE 9.2.3, 1x Win10 Kodi v18.7 and on 2x Odroid C2 each with LE 9.2.3 with the same advancedsettings.xml file.
I've already tried a clean installation and 3 different sd-cards, but the issue stays.

advancedsettings.xml looks as following:

All channels look worse in kodi than in the web browser. You can order better quality but it seems that it is not used in Kodi.

There are lots of channels avalable in the filmon web interface. Not all of them work in Kodi. Why is that..?

What am I doing wrong? How can I enable "Live TV"? "BOX" skin show "Live TV" as default in main menu too.

Recommended add-ons?

Not sure if this is the right forum for this. 

I've returned to Kodi after a long time away. I used it back in the XBMC days up until Camelot. I'm now using again on an Nvidia Shield TV and loving things.
Because I have been away for a while I've missed a lot. Are there any really amazing add-ons I should install? I've tried searching online but keep getting nothing but "fully loaded kodi" pages. I'm NOT looking for that sort of thing. I installed an addon to enable downloading of subtitles which is fantastic for me. So I am looking for things like that which add functionality.

Stuttering/crashing video playback with network files

June 29, 2020, 3:11 am

Hi everybody,

I've been running Kodi for a very long time (way back when XBMC was exclusive to modded Xbox consoles...), and for 10+ years on a private file server (unRaid) without any major problems, save the occasional tweak every now and then. Most of the time it's been a matter of "set it and forget it" with everything running smoothly as-is, so all in all i'm not an expert at troubleshooting.

Lately, i've been having problems when playing videos from my server. At some point, sometimes after 5mins, sometimes after over an hour, the video starts to stutter and freeze, then it catches up very fast and continues to play. At times it gets worse to the point of Kodi stopping the playback completely. These issues are completely random : i could have a couple of major lags in a 26min episode but not a single issue with a feature length film. This happens with various file formats, video and audio codecs.

The only lead i have is that local playback works fine. This could mean there is a possible server/network problem but, as far as i can tell, my network setup is OK (network speed is fast and consistent, unRaid diagnostics are fine, hard disk drives are healthy etc), and i can stream my network from other machines just fine.

My HTPC has been fully reinstalled and updated very recently (with every possible update applied + I ran Memtest to make sure the RAM sticks are fine).

Where do i begin to troubleshoot these issues? Thanks for your help!!

kodi 18.7 - no video solo audio

I just installed the new version of kodi 18.7 on a pc where I had kodi 17 working regularly.
The pc has win 7.
In the kodi videos now I can hear the audio but I don't see the video.
From the settings I tried to deactivate the dvxa2 hardware acceleration, to change the rendering method (software, automatic etc.).
What can I try? I also updated the driver of the video card (Intel mobile 945 chipset family, it's an old pc...)
Should I go back to a previous version?
thank you
