It's a thing. Make sure your adding the movie location as a source. One you have a library view then try out different skins. Aeon mq6 is the best imho,google some images

I figured it, I was using upnp which won't work for the library view. Set it up again using smb and its fine. Using aeon 6 yeah,thanks.

It works better on my shield than kodi. And I'm certain you can have spmc and kodi on the same box so you can try it without uninstalling kodi.

Click the link above for more info as the developer has stopped doing it for certain chipsets.


The developer of spmc was the main programmer of kodi before he left.

Having issues with certain video files on my raspberry pi 2 running OpenELEC-6.0.3. The video looks like its playing with 1fps constantly and cuts in and out to a grey screen. This only happens with 3 files i have rest are fine. I have checked the files on my computer they are totally fine no different than my other files (mostly mkv). I have also tested the files on kodi running on my computer, they are totally fine play with no issues, so its got to be the rasberry pi??????

Under Video Tracks all 3 say HEVC(H265 Main 10 @L4 0) (they are mkv though)

Tried every setting i can nothing makes It go away. Any advice or hints?

I have found on my Pi 3 that by using the Kodi 17 Nightlies HEVC playback is much improved. I can now play 720p content quite normally but 1080p is still a judder feast and I suppose it will not get much better, given no hardware decoding.
I have overclocked the Pi 3.
I kinda like the Estuary skin over that pf Confluence though on the 17 builds.
 
Does anyone know how to turn the feature off that advertises a random show in your library while you are watching one?

Every so often it pops up in the bottom right of the screen and it's getting annoying.

Like so

If it helps i use the Aeon MQ6 skin, the modded one to work on the latest Kodi.
 
I imagine that you have the Next Aired Addon installed and enabled. If you go to your addons and double click on it you can then turn off that feature.

Oops I just fired my Kodi up to check and its the Next Up notification addon you need to edit....

Annoying when skinners add addons without fully describing what they do, then again the creator of that addon has just changed the default behaviour of it to be "off" for the next episode.

Cheers mate, I was about to ask if it was maybe that as the Next Aired one isn't in the list but that is.

It looks like it's the "Display random unwatched notification" in it's settings that needs disabled, second from the bottom.
 
Got a small issue with my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.

My 60' Plasma doesn't seem to pick up the HDMI signal.

It does however work fine when I use my PC monitor or small 32' Panasonic LED.

Any ideas what's causing this or what settings to fiddle with?

Cheers
