Works perfectly with my central database

I've since discovered it's a piece of functionality that an add-on doesn't have. I'm pretty sure if I tried it with the media on my server, it would work fine across all devices.

 

[Confused]

Yup, works perfectly here too, it's brilliant.

So long as you STOP the video on one device, you can play back that video back on another, immediately. Watched status is also synchronised immediately, too, when working correctly.

I would enable DEBUG mode, then check the log to ensure that all machines are actually pointing at the SQL database - I wonder if it is failing to connect, and falling back to the local library?? (If you make sure you delete the local library, then you'll instantly see that there is no media if this is happening. If you've still got a local library pointing at the same sources, you may not notice whether it's using the local or centralised database)

They are definitely talking to MySql. If I take that "down", my AFTV devices load with blank libraries.

It seems the add-on I'm using doesn't support resume yet from multiple devices as it appears to store it's bookmarks locally.

Everything else works as expected, watched status, etc

Yup works fine with mine also. Cant help you though as just followed a guide that worked and i really have no idea what i actually did.

i have XMBC/KODI installed on my computer that is under the stairs and run a HDMI cable to the wall mounted tv.

I have noticed recently ( No idea why) that I used to press 'I' on the wireless keyboard when watching a film through Kodi and it would bring up the info screen about that particular film. Now it does not. Just bring up a little window top left corner with numbers on it.

Anyone know A) Why this has changed and B) how to get it back to normal?

I have not messed with any settings that I am aware of.

Thanks

I'm having some -problems with openelec. Some of my blu ray rips with dtsHD Dolby tru HD keep stuttering. I've tried out lots of different network settings/ video and audio settings but still can't seem to crack it.

Any ideas?

How you streaming? Via WiFi or Ethernet?

Are you using a cache? If not try it. I have a 64MB one set up (which oddly means entering double that in the xml).

You must have plenty of RAM as it needs 3 * the setting for the cache. Don't set a value of 0 which makes the cache unlimited to the HD if you run an SSD.

Your post was too long for me to be bothered reading. Sorry.

I'm currently running 14.2 with Aeon Nox skin, I was looking to change cover art to include the Blu-Ray band at the top and the 3D Blu-Ray band at the top for 3D films.

I know some skins have this option but I can't see anywhere in the Aeon Nox settings to enable it? If not is there a decent skin that has this feature?

Anyone installed Kodi on an Amazon Fire Stick? Just bought one for a cheap play thing and not got round to installing it yet.

Wondered how it ran.

I have the stick and the box and to be honest, I haven't really noticed much difference performance wise between either. Kodi runs good for me on the stick.
