Bag of Sun Chips posted:Anybody know how the Kodi new Apple TV port is going? I'm tempted to just buy another Amazon Fire TV and sideload it, but the Amazon Fire TV always stutters when I use Netflix. i've been keeping a close eye on the development MRMC is a fork of kodi with plugins, skins and other stuff removed so it can be sold on the app store, they submitted it for review yesterday so it could be approved in a matter of days . Once MRMC has been approved on for the app store the source code will be released then the kodi team can work on making a full function sideloadable appletv version I don't expect a full kodi release for at least a month but MRMC will be enough for most people. MRMC is going to cost 5.99 initially then the price will go up to 9.99

Kodi keeps resetting my settings, it's twice now in 3 weeks. Changes the skin back to default, when I change it back it's lost all my tweaks like shortcuts on the home menu, backgrounds, etc. It's really annoying. I have a UPS so it isn't corruption from power outages.

I've had that happen on one of my tablets a few times. It couldn't read my settings that were on external storage at startup and went back to defaults. I closed it and made sure that the storage was mounted properly, and it worked on the next launch.

A friend of mine bought the Shield, hoping to finally have a "kodi and netflix in the same box" solution. He thought it was the solution until he learned it would not recognize his 8TB drive. Deal breaker for him.

It can only read one partition so if for some reason there's a hidden partition on there it may see that instead or it may just not mount the drive. The shield should (after updates) support FAT32, NTFS, and (I think) exFAT external drives. He may just need to reformat the drive and make sure there's only one partition on it. Alternatively it just doesn't support 8tb drives in which case he could try rooting it and mounting the drive with stickmount though not sure how easy it'd be to return the shield after it's rooted.

He's either using a shingled drive like the Seagate which has low read/write performance and is meant for archiving, or he's using an Hitachi helium drive which costs $600. I doubt Android can recognize the partition size either way. Put it in a wireless enclosure and access it that way, or build a NAS; direct-attaching an 8tb drive to watch media off it is a pretty niche use case, to be polite about it. Maybe it'll work on an intel-based NUC or something but that is overpowering the problem these days.

As of right now it does not support the GPT partition format, which is required for drives bigger than 2TB. Android 5.x is also weird about external storage access. Your USB drive will work, but apps will only have READ access to the drive and be unable to write to it. The SD card does not have this problem. There is a workaround, but the apps have to be aware of it.

You can get a tiny, fanless, Bay Trail all-in-one for extremely cheap and that's powerful enough to fling media throughout the entire house as long as its plugged into ethernet.

I agree, something like that and OpenMedia Vault or some other low profile linux based NAS system will allow him/her to access the drive over the network - which should be fine for media streaming and as a bonus they can run other crap on it, like an Emby server or something. They also sell HDD enclosures that provide basic NAS functions like CIFS/APT sharing as well, which will also work for simple media streaming. Check Amazon for reviews.

Or have him check his router, some have USB ports that you can attach a drive to and share it over the network.

Can anyone help tell me what this is? http://streamax.tv/ I think it is a scam. Is it quasi-illegal? it says it streams tv channels, and sounds like one of those black boxes we used to have back in the 90s. Or is it legit? My parents just texted me today saying they are getting rid of cable and getting this thing, and all I could find were a few reddit posts about how there are some door to door salesmen going around selling these things, and that it might be a pyramid scheme.

They will last awhile even after takedowns and all that. I don't know what people see in those things personally. The addons frequently crash or hang, the sources are often low res or get taken down and I need my poo poo to Just Work for the missus. I guess to a layman who doesn't understand torrents/usenet/whatever they seem pretty impressive and if it gives them a few years of use then its paid for itself.

For some reason, when I have "play next video" enabled, and a video ends, it just knocks me back to the "KODI" splash screen and re-scans my media instead. Anybody ever have this issue? Running on an AD-10 with OpenElec.

I recently formatted and reinstalled Win10 and upgraded from Kodi 14.x to Kodi 15.2. When a video is playing, the OSD and video (I think the video, it's kinda hard to tell) is pushed off screen by maybe 20px. This is particularly odd because on my Vizio TV plus AMD video card, I have to adjust the overscan settings in the driver, as well as adjust the screen size in Kodi to make sure the whole UI is on-screen. And that all works fine...until a video starts playing. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm not as negative about generic Android boxes as you guys are (I enjoy playing around with them) but these pre-loaded box sellers are out of control. Also, the M8 is a kick rear end little box when you flash OpenELEC on it.

Is there a way to turn OFF support for the Xbox One controller? My controller seems twitchy and if I go from Steam to Kodi without turning off the controller, it'll send a signal and start seeking forward through the video at 32x when I look at it wrong.

Go to Settings/System/Input Devices. Just deselect "Enable joystick and gamepad support". Should be easy peasy.

I've been having some issues all of a sudden with buffering within Kodi (Genesis). It was working fine for several months but now whenever I load a stream, it just buffers for upwards of 10 minutes. If I play before it's done buffering, it stutters & buffers more after several minutes. I haven't changed anything with my Kodi setup. Using 50/50 plan on Fios with a Nexus Player (wifi). Also tried a clean install of Kodi on my Nexus 6P and experienced similar results, which leads me to believe it could be something with my default wifi settings? Customizing the advancedsettings options, resetting router, changing wifi channel, etc don't seem to help. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Genesis is not exactly an official content distributor so its quite possible the problem is on that end of things, those streaming services are very hit and miss with sources and quality. Are there problems with any other streaming services or is it just that addon?

Emby via Kodi also seems to buffer more than usual, whereas the native Emby app works fine (not a paid subscriber though so it's expired).

Have you done a wifi survey with your router or Wifi analyzer to see if there is any overlap from other networks? Are sources of interference in your place? Beyond that I'd suggest trying another device to rule out an issue with the Nexus Player.

Thermopyle posted:I recently formatted and reinstalled Win10 and upgraded from Kodi 14.x to Kodi 15.2. Ok, so I figured this out. I have to play a video and while it's playing back out to the Kodi settings and do the Settings > System > Video calibration. Doing it while video is not playing doesn't help while the video is playing. I also have to do this for various frame rate video files since I have the setting to adjust refresh rate to match video enabled. In all the years I've been using Kodi I've never had to do this before, but now that I think of it, it makes sense and I don't know why I never had to do it before...
