I have noticed that I on my NVIDIA Shield 2017 Pro no longer can seem to create thumbnails for bookmarks, or rather that these thumbnails all are black rectangles. In the log, I get the following when creating a bookmark:

Big issue with kodi 19 Matrix and Android

Hello all,

Since the release of kodi 19 Matrix i have a big issue installing it on Android phone : i get a black screen after loading the app and giving authorization. So i can't access anything.

I tried to uninstall and reverse to kodi 18.9 Leia which worked perfectly on the same phone but this version doesn't stand anymore. The app is searching to upgrade besides the fact i put the extension parameter to "never search for upgrades".

I'll be grateful if anyone could help because i can't use kodi anymore, neither version.

Thanks,

Batocera or EmuELEC + Kodi?

$

After reading the entire threads on "Pick the Right Kodi Box" and "4K HDR10 - State of Play", I've decided my next Kodi box will be the ODROID-N2+ w/4GB running CoreELEC; as I want: Correct - MaxCLL/FALL HDR Infoframe data output & auto Frame Rate Matching / TV Refresh Rate Switching & Dynamic Range Matching / Colorspace Switching.

However, I also want to play games on it and wondered if Batocera.linux (which includes Kodi) will work as well as CoreELEC for Kodi?

What about EmuELEC?

I want the best RetroArch environment with the least amount of latency while not sacrificing ANY quality in the Kodi playback.

Any help in figuring this out would be most appreciated.

Kodi 19 crashes when switching from home screen on new FIreOS 7.2.3.4

Hi, Using Kodi 19 on a fireTV 4K and now a new FireTV Cube (for the extra storage). Works just great.

But after the new FireTV update to 7.2.3.4 (apart from the strange new ugly UI), Kodi crashes when switching from  FireTV main screen to a suspended Kodi.

Start Kodi
Press home button on FireTV to go to FireTV menu
Select Kodi again -> black screen a bit, then returns to FireTV menu
Select Kodi -> Kodi restarts completely with matrix loading screen.

I have never seen this before the FireTV update..

regards,
Jesper

Kodi 19 Matrix Slow Start

$

Hello everyone! I've been having an issue after updating to Matrix (v19), it takes Kodi between 30s to 1m to start, sometimes even more, with v18 it was almost instant. I tried all the usual troubleshooting steps like disabling addons and clearing the user profile with no luck, I ultimately deleted everything including the library and started from scratch but the problem persists. I even tried going back to v18 and weirdly that version takes a long time now. I'm attaching the logs of a clean v19 install. Thanks for any help!

Forgive my ignorance but it looks like there is a menu item that allows you to change this to something other than "0" disabled, for both music and video but for the life of me I can not seem to figure out HOW to change the value.

3D H-SBS playback on active 3D TV has doubled (quadruple sides)

$
0

Hi. I am using Kodi Matrix 19.0.0.210 build for QNAPClub HD Station. I updated it from KODI v19 Alpha few days ago.
Until previous version, I could watch my 3D H-SBS correctly, but now the display keeps "doubling" the frame.
Trying to explain better: My QNAP NAS is playing through last generation HDMI cable to my Hisense active 3D TV.
Previously, when I started a 3D H-SBS video, KODI asked me to select the 3D mode, after chosing that, it doubled the user interface vertically with single left and right side separately, then I could activate 3D mode on my TV so it showed the correct unique full screen frame (mixed layers).
After upgrading to new version, doing the same actions, KODI double the user interface as before, but every side of screen keeps to show the double sides instead of single, so they become 4 (2 after activating 3D on TV).
The only way to make it work is to DISABLE 3D on KODI and enable it only on my TV. The movie is showing now correctly, but the user interface becomes orizzontally stretched. Most of all, subtitles are totally unreadable because half of them start on the right side of display and the other half continue on the left side, all stretched.
I checked every "expert" options and also tried to follow the guides but I cannot figure it out. Sorry if I didn't explain well, I can provide pictures of the results and, of course, logs if needed.
Thanks in advance for any help.

No repositories work

Hello, I have been swamped with computer issues after some less than proffesional movers left me with a bricked system.  I was on windows 7 am now on windows 10, unfortunately, I am trying to get my media back up and running as my pc was mostly used as a media center and I cannot get any repositories to work at all.
I downloaded the "matrix" version and had problems so i went back to the 18.9 version as it has been around longer to have repositories/add ons working but the same thing is happening, I found lists of "top 10 repositories" I added a few of them that appear in multiple of those lists and so seemed my best bet and I cannot connect to a single one of them. Either they give me errors saying I cant connect or when I go to the "install from zip file" stage of things the folders simply appear empty.
My internet is working fine outside of kodi, I have no active firewall/anti virus things installed on this build yet, I have no idea why kodi alone is seemingly having internet issues
I hope the below log is all that's needed, I just repeated a few of the steps and encountered both the connection error message and the blank directy when trying to isntall from zip.  Thank you

Is there a way to configure Kodi to automatically play the next episode?

$

I have a bunch of kids videos that I play for my grandson when he's here.  I'd love to be able to set them to simply play episode after episode instead of having to manually start the next each time the previous episode stops.  is there a way to do this in Kodi?  Most of the streaming services do that, and it would be great to have feature parity here.

Thanks!

Trailers stopped working for movies

$

I have Kodi v19 running on Android TV, the content is on a shared drive. 

I use The Movie Database Python as a scrapper for Movies and TMDb TV Shows for shows. 

I have the YouTube add-on installed with the api-key inserted. 

When I browse videos on the YouTube add-on it works.

As you can see on the log, when I long-press a TV Show then tap "Information", the trailer work without any issues, but not for movies.

Here's a link to the log : https://paste.kodi.tv/zokacequwe.kodi

I tried removing and re-adding my movies library multiple times, and it looks like trailers work for movies if I disable "Movies are in separate folders that match the movie title" in the Content settings, but then only half the movies show up in my library. 

In the YouTube add-on settings, Support alternative player is disabled.

Any help would be much appreciated.

And why would enabling the "Movies are in separate folders that match the movie title" option break the trailers feature?

I want set the listitem path to realpath for get videoinfo in skin, 
I use the following 3 set functions, but got plugin://plugin.name by $INFO[Listitem,Path] in skin,
what's the diff?
listitem.setInfo(''video', {'path': curr_dir})
listitem.setPath(path=fullpathname)
listitem.setProperty('Path', curr_dir)
How set path or how get realpath like /home/kodi/abc.mp4 in MyVideo.xml?

Sonos Arc Atmos Passthrough

$

Hi,
I picked up the Sonos Arc yesterday evening and I'm going to be setting it up with Kodi later today. Having read quite a few threads I think I get the jist of it but wanted to make sure I'm understanding it correctly.
My setup is as follows: Nvidia Shield TV - LG CX - Sonos Arc via eARC.
So in the audio decoder settings in Kodi I need to allow passthrough, select Sonos for the output device? and tick options for DD, DD+ and TrueHD? My TV isn't capable of DTS passthrough so I'm assuming I keep these options unticked and let the decoder handle these? There's no option for Atmos, does this come under TrueHD?

Also this isn't Kodi related but if anyone knows if this is correct, I've got the TV set to HDMI audio output, eARC enabled and Bitstream checked.

Why convert (almost) everyting to uppercase?

$

Hi,

I just installed and tried the AMBER skin. I like it, but...

Almost all text is converted to uppercase. And I do not like that. I suppose it is a design issue, but anyway.

Would it be possible to make it an option to *not* convert texts to uppercase, but leave them as is?

TIA,

Bart
