Don Lapre posted:Really? How many items do you have? Mine takes a few seconds to scan. Thats 4200 files in 268 folders. Even at more than 5 times that number of files, spread across about 2000 directories, scan time is generally under a minute for me over SMB. Highly recommend following Don's suggestion. That said, having an always-running process that picks up the changes as they come in is nice and downright simple, and I run Emby on my NAS.

There are other advantages to running Plex or Emby as well such as having your watched data syncd across multiple devices.

If Plex or Emby seem like overkill, Trakt may be another option.

Trip report: have wanted to have my kodi libraries synced for a while, and I can see the benefit to PlexKodiConnect et. al. since it's easy to set up, but since I already have everything else on my file server in docker containers, adding two new ones for mariadb and a headless version of kodi was going to be easy. So I thought I might as well, and avoid any potential addon compatibility issues with the plex or emby methods. Works like a charm. Using kodi all over the place with no detectable latency issues, and since sonarr/radarr update the headless kodi instance any new things are immediately available on all devices. I'm using the following images from https://tools.linuxserver.io/dockers and can recommend them all: deluge, hydra, kodi-headless, mariadb, muximux, nzbget, radarr, sonarr

Is there a known problem with Kodi not properly updating the "Recently added episodes?" I have three nVidia Shields, all running Kodi 17.6 (from the Play Store), a QNAP TS-412, and a QNAP TS-453B. The 412 has older content on it, the 453 monitors the new/current content. Have both Watchdog and Library Auto Update installed and have all three Shields as connections in Sonarr. All three boxes are showing the same set of "Recently added episodes" (either through the home-screen widget or going Videos/TV Shows/Recently added episodes), except the episodes are all 1+ week old, with newer episodes already imported into the library. No matter what I do, I cannot seem to get the "Recently added episodes" to update, which is my primary way of watching new content. Am I missing something? Is there a better way to handle newly added content? I never had this problem with my older Amazon FireTVs (running an early build of Kodi v16).

Can you check the new files' "date added" property, and compare with the ones under the recently added section? Kodi was changed to use file dates instead of time scanned in Frodo (which can be changed back): https://kodi.wiki/view/XBMC_v12_(Frodo)_FAQ#Recently_added

Whomp whomp. https://www.engadget.com/2018/03/29/google-removes-kodi-from-autocomplete-piracy/ Text for the lazy: quote:Google has made an effort in recent years to bury any content that might infringe upon copyrights or promote piracy. Now, according to TorrentFreak, the company has banned "Kodi" from its autocomplete feature. Now, if users type "Kodi" into a Google search box when looking for the media player software, it won't come up as a suggestion.

Keito posted:Can you check the new files' "date added" property, and compare with the ones under the recently added section? Kodi was changed to use file dates instead of time scanned in Frodo (which can be changed back): Where can I see the date added property? In Windows, the new files show date created/date modified as within the past couple days (March 26-30). There's something wonky, because my current recently added episodes list is: * episode of a show that aired March 28 * two episodes from the middle of a season of a show I just recently imported (the rest of the season - including the newer episodes are neglected) * episode of a show that aired March 21 (a newer episode aired on March 28) * episode of a different show that aired March 21 (a newer episode aired on March 28) I have found that if I go to an individual episode's information and "refresh" the data, it'll properly add itself to the recently added episodes list.

I've been spending too much money on HTPCs to run XBMC/Kodi for like 15 years now. I've currently got a little NUC I built only 2 years ago for hundreds of dollars gathering dust, because the little Android box my ISP sent me for free to run their budget TV service is better in nearly every way. One problem is that while it will happily do 4K in the Netflix app, Kodi struggles with even 1080p. It's watchable, but the slightest background process kicking off, or extremely high bitrate scene causes it to get choppy. I gather this is due to having newish hardware that isn't fully supported by Kodi yet From an employee of my ISP on their forum: quote:the Pik TVBox is no slouch @ 2Ghz & with 2Gb of DDR4 Ram. - the BCM7252 SoC is the latest from Broadcom, and it incorporates the VideoCore V HW (V3D-530) GPU. Kodi/android and other apps don't yet even have the capabilities to take full advantage of this gpu (it's currently working with the existing MediaCore hardware acceleration that the previous VideoCore IV GPU works with) Once development happens for this specific GPU, we can expect some amazing performance! I'm not clever enough to pick through Kodi development notes to see if this hardware is going to be better supported in v18. Anyone know where I'd look? Last time I asked a question vaguely like this on the XBMC forums I got screamed at for daring to bug the poor developers who do this for free and bla bla bla. On another note, what is everyone doing with their costly x86 HTPC systems that have been made obsolete overnight by $10 Chinese Android boxes?

And yeah the Kodi forums are something else. The answer is always a) there is already a thread for this (that probably doesn't have the answer and is three years old) or b) this isn't a problem with Kodi (when it totally is because it's fixed next update) I have an Amazon fire stick I use for Netflix etc. but I still use my nuc for Kodi because Android platforms just don't do some of the things I need. It also works well for steam game streaming.

Just because I could buy a $10 widget doesn't mean the old system has stopped working. My x86 system can play 4k video just fine, plus I have a DVD drive hooked up for the once-in-a-decade someone brings a physical glass cylinder over to view.

I have nothing against the shield, but my nuc still works great and I was using it for netflix with the windows 10 app, but the fire stick is cheap and easy to use. Kodi doesn't work well enough on the firestick for me though, and plex acts funny on it too sometimes. I even got cec working so you just press the home button and the TV comes up and my receiver switches to that HDMI input. A shield in Canada costs almost as much as my nuc did. I have a second TV that has a built in plex app that works great so one day when I replace my main TV I may do away with boxes altogether and not use Kodi at all anymore.

I finally switched from FTP to NFS and everything got much worse. Videos stream only at 300 kb/s according to my NAS's resource monitor. So, unwatchable. Meanwhile, mounting the NFS share on another computer and playing with VLC works great. Kodi is running on a Shield. Here's the chain of events that led to my current debacle: - I changed the paths in sources.xml from FTP to NFS - Didn't notice any difference, except library scan is slower. Leave it like this for a couple weeks. - Trying to set up a headless kodi instance to run library scans, I was messing with the JSON RPC to test library access and noticed that old library items still used the [url]ftp://[/url] paths.  - I fixed all the paths in MySQL. - At this point I realize that some files are duplicated (in the SQL database, though I never saw a duplicate in the Kodi library) presumably because they were originally added in FTP and then rescanned via NFS. - Before attempting to do anything about the duplicates, to test if I got the paths right, I tried to play a file. Unwatchably slow. Tried old ones and newer files that had never been added over FTP, same thing. There are still duplicate entries in the library, but why would that cause slow streaming speeds? Unless someone has a better idea, I'm deciding between A) Give up on watched data, and start over on my library, see if that fixes it. If the problem is that I hosed up the database, this may be the solution. B) Give up on NFS, change the paths in SQL and sources.xml to use SMB instead. If the problem is NFS, this would be the solution. Appreciate anyone's thoughts. In the meantime I'm running a library clean.

Sync your watched status to trakt.tv (there's a kodi addon to do it). So at least in the worst case you can just pull down all of the watched statuses from the trakt database when you re-build. I use NFS on Kodi running on an Nvidia Shield and it works fine for me. I am however using wired networking @ 100 MBit, are you using wifi?

I'm still running 17.3 in the fear that updating will break an addon or skin. Am I missing anything crucial? I'm running a skin that emulates the old FireOS layout because it's the only skin that lets you hide episode thumbnails for unwatched items. Got tired of those spoiling shows. The side bonus, for a while anyway, was basically UI parity between that and the firestick I run for amazon streaming. Really helped to not confuse others when switching between inputs. Also running trakt for logging/syncing, a long dead hue addon that fades the lights up and down on play/pause/stop, an addon that auto applies audio settings on boot to make sure it's outputting to my receiver and not my desktop speakers, and an addon that replicates the next up function of netflix/amazon because I'm lazy and wanted to save three seconds on show binges. Worried about any of that breaking on upgrading as they are all kind of important and just nice quality of life things that I'd miss.
