This add-on hasn't worked for me in ages, and it's something I've really missed. I'm talking multiple version of Kodi, across two platforms. It's gotta be something in CP but I can't figure out what. Dev looks abandoned as well, going by the Kodi forum thread.

I must say - as somebody who has two TVs setup with Sonarr + NZBGet + Couch Potato + Amazon Fire + Kodi, Kodi with apps isn't nearly as good. I bought a $40 Amazon Fire Stick and set it up last night - I was hoping I would have a good device for traveling - I installed FireStarter and installed the latest build of Kodi, along with SALTS, Genesis, Phoenix, SportsDevil, and 1Channel. Most of the content I attempt to access, especially on SALTS, doesn't load - it will search through the sources, bring up a bunch of CAPCHAs that fail, and throw me back into the content selection screen. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong with these apps/sources, but I figured they would work really well after a few friends raved about them.

Never heard of SALTS but the others should work fine. Certain streams in Phoenix don't work but that stuff is always hit and miss. With the others, it's just a matter of looking around and finding the right source. The biggest advantage of using an Android box is having the official apps work alongside Kodi. While it's a little weird to have multiple UIs, you can launch Netflix in Kodi, watch something, exit, and end back up in Kodi. Which is a million times better than trying to gently caress around with some type of hack to try to make Netflix work in Kodi proper.

I found KOver to be a super cool proof of concept, but for as flexible as it is it wasn't flexible in the ways that I wanted to setup. Definitely keeping an eye on it though.

r0ck0 posted:Can someone please resume active development on the Ace skin? Your best bet is to figure out what it is you like about the Ace skin - certain views, or home screen layouts, whatever - and find a skin that supports those. Several of the newer, better Kodi skins, like Titan, Eminence, or Arctic, offer a lot of different options for views, colors, home screen layouts, etc. You may have to play around with them to "dial it in" but I am betting you can get something that works pretty close to whatever it is about Ace you like. The Kodi skin development scene is pretty fickle in general and has its share of petty arguments over credit and single source developers (like the guy behind Ace) who give it up after a while. I've learned to stick to skins with several developers and a strong community backing who don't rely on out of repo hacks/zip files.

So as someone who has never used CouchPotato and usenet, what UseNet service do you use? Does it matter which? I'm certainly interested in learning more about Couchpotato and the whole process.

Anyone know of a way to export a nfo for one movie in a library? I have the three "despecialized" Star Wars movies on my server, and I want to add them into Kodi. I feel like exporting the details from the actual movie to an nfo and then changing the title/info slightly would be easier than creating one from scratch (which I'm willing to do if it comes down to it).

EC posted:Anyone know of a way to export a nfo for one movie in a library? Only way I know is Settings>video>Library export library and select the separate files option. That will create .nfo files for your entire library and put individual files for each inside their directory (assuming the movies are in separate directories per movie like they should be). However it doesn't take very long, the files aren't exactly large, and having local nfo files isn't a bad thing. That said if you really hate the clutter, just copy the nfo you want and do a mass *.nfo delete to clean up the rest. Then do your mod for the movies you want.

Good idea, thanks. I really do hate the clutter, even though I know it makes me a spaz. So I was browsing the Kodi forums and apparently one of the big devs on the Android side has "retired" because of some internal problems with the rest of the dev team. Hopefully they'll get it all straightened out. Meanwhile the guy who retired is still doing work on SPMC. Anyone messed with it?

Ember Media Manager seems like it can scrape the info for a single file and write *.nfo and artwork files automatically. http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=191781

EC posted:Good idea, thanks. I really do hate the clutter, even though I know it makes me a spaz. If you access your share through Explorer, Finder, or Gnome (the last is a year of Desktop Linux joke) just do a find of all *.nfo ordered by date and delete the ones just created, should only take a minute. That way you won't delete any you might want to keep and don't know it.

Yeah, it's an *.nfo file creator/editor. I'm not super happy with the layout of the program, but it makes it easy to edit many files at once (I still tend to do it manually when it's a one-off thing).

CouchPotato automatically generates nfo files and downloads artwork. I use it only for that and not for managing my movies. I switched from doing it manually in Ember Media Manager to CP.

Plex is good as well. They are both worth the $70 or so for "lifetime" access but neither is required for in-home streaming. For me, my Emby server (which resides on my central home-built FreeNAS storage server but can run on more than that) is the one constant that works with everything. I still give Plex the slight edge in mobile device/syncing support but Emby is the clear choice if you want to use Kodi on some or all of your clients as it has much better support for it.

I can go on for paragraphs complaining about how Kodi/TVDB handle The Animaniacs to where my easiest solution was to just write the drat files myself. I also add a lot of weird one off things to my library. I like to rip the special features off of DVDs and those usually require a custom nfo file. Most recently I ripped a DVD of New Order music videos that didn't appear in any databases and it was easier just to fill out that info manually. Question about Emby: does it read nfo files and does it do "dvd order" for for TV shows? Those two things keep me from using Plex more often. There's some stuff that I can edit manually and just live with, but, for example, I'm not going to fix nearly 100 Futurama episodes manually because I ripped them in DVD order and Plex only does aired date.

I can go on for paragraphs complaining about how Kodi/TVDB handle The Animaniacs to where my easiest solution was to just write the drat files myself. 1, Emby has the best web based metadata editor around. 2, it allows you to set shows (episodes or entire shows) as aired, DVD, or absolute (the latter means set the order to whatever you want). 3, you can "lock" shows after you are done so no updates gently caress with it. 4, yes it reads existing nfo's as long as they are correctly formatted (if you already have them working with Kodi then they are). The Metadata editor can be thought of as a web based front end nfo editor, actually. You will still have to manually edit shows - it defaults to Aired. However you can mass-select, for example, all the shows in a season, and set the preferred order that way. It might take a little work to get it set right when you first move over.
