Speaking of, what the hell is going on with Steven Universe S2 numbering?! They're so wrong, and it seems like an easy thing to fix.

Three steven bombs so episodes got shuffled around and moved out of their intended order, amazon and itunes doing their own thing for episode numbering, scene doing THEIR own thing for episode numbering and no dvds or blu-rays in sight. It's kind of a mess.

Does anyone know how to get Kodi onto the main screen of a Fire TV? I just picked up a second one, and my living room one is setup perfect. I don't have to launch it through Ikono Art anymore on that Stick, it's in my menu legitimately. I remember I "Purchased" it off of Amazon, so I went to my digital purchase for it, but it won't let me push it to the new Stick. I already sideloaded it, and it works perfect, but I don't have the icon for the front page. I have a feeling I did it from the App's page on Amazon, but it looks like they pulled it. I can see it in my digital purchase history, but when I click on it's name, it brings me to a 404 page.

Use Firestarter. You install it, tell it to load the regular fire tv interface on boot (or whatever you want) and to load Kodi on a double click of the home button, and you're good to go.

In Emby, is it possible to scrape TV show information from IMDB, and if so, do it for only one show? I've got a kids show where TheTVDB lists each half episode as a separate episode so it never scrapes correctly.

I know Kodi can handle it if you have one video file with multiple episodes, you just have to name it properly. You do it by naming the file "s01e01e02e03" (obviously with the correct season and episode numbers typed in). If you do that, all the episodes will show up. The problem at this point is that if you play the second (or third) episode, it plays the file from the beginning. What you need to do is find the break point in the file, go set a bookmark, and set an episode bookmark. That way, when you play the second episode, it will start at the correct spot. You'll still get some issues. The first episode will continue to the end of the file, playing all the other episodes. Marking one watched marks all the others. Also, if you stop watching one episode, playing another will ask you if you want to resume where the first left off. Unfortunately, none of this works with Animaniacs. Instead of naming the episodes "1, 2, 3, etc", they are named "1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, etc". The scraper doesn't like the periods and stops looking after the first one. So, Kodi only lists the first segment instead of all the segments or the entire episode. Uthor fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Jul 22, 2015 |

If you want others you will have to write a custom scraper (see the forums, someone might've already done it for IMDB) or just grab an NFO file for that particular show.

g0del posted:Animaniacs scrapes fine if you use the aired names, not the dvd names. Then it's the standard "s01e01e02e03", though I'll admit it's an incredible pain getting all the files named correctly since thetvdb gives each separate segment it's own episode name and there's anywhere from 1 to 6 segments per half-hour show. Oh, good to know. Now to see if it's worth it going through 99 shows and setting it all up!

He was asking about Emby, I presume hes using the Emby addon for Kodi. I don't think you can use Kodi scraping and import that into Emby, the addon writes to the Kodi DBs but not the other way around AFAIK. It could never merge my libraries when I tried at least. I've personally had little success in getting anything fixed at thetvdb (some shows are locked down and/or the mods go nuts over a change) but that's certainly an option.

So the final version of Isengard is out now. http://kodi.tv/kodi-15-0-isengard-one-release-to-rule-them-all/ kodi.tv posted:Kodi 15.0 Features Not a huge fan of the "adaptive" seeking myself but there's probably a switch to turn it off somewhere. Overall it seems like a solid release, they put a lot of work into the Android support this time around and finally got on the Play store.

The location of the file differs per platform, but if you can find the guisettings.xml file in the Kodi userdata folder, you can just copy over the entire <skinsettings> block to the same file on the new machine to have the skin setup exactly the same. You may have to go and manually adjust any skin setting that uses a filepath though (like custom backgrounds or anything like that). evilalien fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Jul 22, 2015 |

They banned my account for offering a different order for a show along with a URL source pointing to the studio and an offer to help make the changes. I had never interacted with them in any way before. I was totally polite about it and have previously donated to them. Like no warning, just banned. I found out later they have this weird unofficial policy where if they lock a particular show down they basically don't want to hear poo poo from anyone about it and its open season on users who ask. So yeah gently caress those guys haha.

The TVDB is run by some of the biggest spergs on the internet. The worst one is the mod with the anime avatar. RE: Kodi 15.0, I am super disappointed to see that UPNP library sharing didn't make this version, and slightly disappointed that RetroPlayer integration didn't make it.

I suspect I'll end up doing that latter, if Emby is capable of scraping only a single show from its NFO file. Also, I just got that the name Emby = M.B. = MediaBrowser.

You would have to create it or use a metadata manager to do so. I don't have much experience beyond making a few basic ones so that I could get my workout routines into the TV shows section in Kodi.

RetroPlayer would have been nice though and perhaps a built-in "extras" system for ripped blurays/dvds that have a lot of extra content. (EDIT: I know there is an addon called VideoExtras but I was hoping for something more integrated)

Right, the view/sorting stuff is in the <viewstates> block which is also safe to copy over future reference, and the submenu stuff should be in there somewhere as well. Realistically you can copy over that entire file, you just have to be willing to go through all of the settings and change stuff that is machine dependent (file paths, hardware settings, device names, etc).

You guys are aware of the XEM, right? It allows remapping TVDB's listings to formats that the "scene"and other places use, with a scraper available in the official Kodi repos. Works well if you don't care about your library listings lining up with Trakt's. http://thexem.de/

Hmm yeah I don't care for adaptive skip either, there's a weird delay where it seems to just wait for another input. I'm farting around trying to figure out how to disable it in the options, found this post but haven't tried it yet. Apparently to get the small skip back yet you need to make a change to the keymap since they changed the action ID.

If I understand how skip steps work, each button press gives you a larger single skip (10s/30s/1m/3m) and that lag is so you can keep adjusting the skip step until you get it right. It would suck to accidentally hit the button too many times and skip too far ahead. I can see how it would be annoying though. Personally I'd like to have Netflix style skipping where you get a snapshot of various increments in the video you can choose from. Not sure if that would be too taxing on the system though.

As I mentioned right above, you can go to settings, video and there is a (new) field for skip steps (turn on advanced/expert mode if you don't see it). You can change the skip amount down to whatever you want including all the way back to what it was if you want. Kodi now has support for the chapter-style skipping you mention as well, it's just not implemented well in the default skin - you have to go to bookmarks to see it. Also I am not sure how it is generating the thumbnails (something Netflix, etc. do server-side and Plex/Emby have an option to do on their end - I don't see an option for it in Kodi). As skins are updated to support it I suspect some will come up with better ways of implementing it. Edit: Looks like Kodi only does it for chapters; first your video has to have chapter markers, then it will screen cap each chapter. Similar to how Emby does it and different from Netflix, Roku, and (locally) Plex, which take a lot more caps (every 10 seconds) regardless of chapter markers, and is a lot more work (also a lot more useful).

If you are using Windows 10, or planning to next week, you should use the DirectX 11 build (it's posted in the forums, they just updated that build to Isengard final). Isengard has a number of playback issues with 10 and DirectX 9. As a bonus though, 11 works better/uses less CPU. Haven't had any issues with Linux.
