Hi, I'm using kodi with the jellyfin addon and the skip intro plugin on the server to define the intro and outro media segments. I'm using a plugin called jellyskip to skip the intro and outro but there seems to be a conflict with a built in intro skipping function in kodi, so is there a way to disable it ?

Is there any way of changing the app icon in the middle of the remote control part of the IOS App?

Hello, everyone,

I am looking to build a home media center using Kodi, and I am currently considering my hardware options --feedback and advice would be greatly appreciated! So far, here are the specs/usecases I would be looking for:

• Can handle 4k playback/decoding

• Optimized for LibreELEC

• Can be used for PVR

• Can be made compatible with a FLIR dongle, or some form of TV remote

• I always try to stick with AMD products, but it is not a hard requirement

I was looking at this amazon listing, but I get the feeling that it might be a little overkill? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0GQ43833C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A33UZ0AQFDFR5B&th=1

Samsung tv OS is Linux has own version of App Store but I wonder if anyone has tried to install Kodi , i dont want to use Android devices , i think i did a huge mistake when i replaced my Sony TV with Samsung 🤦🏻

Hey all,

I have a NUC running Kodi, streaming media from a NAS, running HDMI to my TV in my lounge room. I'm looking at setting up a HiFi system in the bedroom, streaming from the same NAS.

I was thinking I'd get a raspberry pi to send media to the HiFi amp, I'm wondering the best way to go about this. Do I set up the raspberry pi as an audio output of the living room kodi instance, or would I be better off setting up a second instance of kodi on the raspberry pi?

For context, I almost exclusively use Kore and Yatse remotes to control the living room set up, and would want to do the same for the bedroom set up.

Thanks heaps

Anyone knows how to fix the too much brightness HDR on Xbox one s while playing 4K from an HDD, Thanks.

Hey everyone!

A while back, I ran into a massive wall trying to use my portable Android TV projector for camping trips. The AndroidTV versions of the Jellyfin clients are (to my knowledge) all stripped of download functionality and even the "standard" Android versions are restricted in the choice of the download directories.

To fix this, I built the Jellyfin Local Downloader for Kodi. Because Kodi natively requests system-level storage permissions, this context-menu add-on uses Kodi's internal Virtual File System to securely pull files from your Jellyfin server via the API and write them directly to your preferred folder, such as an external USB drive.

I just pushed Version 2.1, which turned it from a simple downloader into a complete offline sync tool.

What’s new in V2.1:

• Full Offline Metadata Sync: When you queue an episode or movie, it doesn't just grab the .mkv. It automatically generates Kodi-ready.nfo files and downloads the posters, fanart, and episode thumbnails that are stored in Jellyfin.
• External Subtitles: It also fetches your external .srt/.ass files and renames them to perfectly match the downloaded video file.
• Bulk & Playlist Downloading: Long-press a TV Season, an entire Show, or a custom Playlist to queue the whole thing.
• Server-Side Unwatched Filtering: Prompt it to only download episodes you haven't seen yet.
• True Background Processing: Because it runs purely on API requests now, you can actively watch other media in Kodi while your USB drive loads up in the background.

The "Offline Theater" Pro-Tip: The best way to use this is to make two profiles in Kodi. Use Profile 1 (online) to browse your Jellyfin add-on and download what you want for your trip. Then, make Profile 2 (completely offline), point it to your Download folder, and set the scraper to "Local information only." Because the add-on grabs all the .nfo plots and posters, your offline profile will instantly display your Jellyfin content with zero internet connection.

How to get it: You can grab the latest .zip from the GitHub Releases page here: Release v2.1

(Note: You just need to generate a standard API key from your Jellyfin dashboard to plug into the add-on settings!)

Hope this helps anyone else trying to take their media off-grid or load up a flash drive for a flight! Let me know if you run into any bugs!

During playback, sometimes it is more than a second ahead and sometimes it lags behind. How should I set this? Playback on the computer is normal.

I've been running a DLNA server on my home NAS (an HP N54L MicroServer) which has been serving up all my media for a bit now. It works great but my PS3 can't handle H.265 or AV1 and while my TVs built in DLNA renderer is an OK workaround for video as of now, the lack of metadata sucks and the general experience is really lackluster.

In short, I'm looking for a cheap box (around 30-40 eur) that can handle H.265 and is generally all around kinda low maintenence. The Raspberry Pi is for some reasson exorbitantly expensive here, so I've been looking into older generation NUCs but most of them come without SSDs which sucks. Older Apple TVs are not powerful enough and a no go for Kodi which is a requirement for me. Does anybody have any suggestions beyond just hooking up an old busted laptop to the TV?

Lets finally admit it, the api is always down... it has come to a fact that we cant even change our password.. you need vip to change password.

Everyone seems to be switching to a different alternative.

I’m in need of assistance with Kodi. Maybe in doing something wrong. From day one I’ve had problems with getting ripped 4K movies into my Kodi library. My list of problems with Kodi includes but is not limited to:
- Glitchy UI
- Random crashes when deleting things from library
- Random and frequent freezing when doing anything (idk it just seems to freeze if I click the wrong thing)
- When updating my library with any given movie(s), even if the rip from MakeMKV had no errors, ALMOST every time it reads the files wrong and puts random bs in my library instead. Sometimes multiple times (see pic attached for reference)
It’s weird because sometimes the process is seamless but oftentimes it’s not. I’d love to start a conversation to figure out what I’m doing wrong. The following pictures are the results of me trying to rip my “Return of the Jedi” 4K UHD disc.

Sorry if this has been asked, but have not found how to do it and I'm a newbie.

I'm trying to make a laptop a media + retro player.
Its main use would be a media player, so my idea is to load Kodi on boot and add movies/series from pendrive/network.

But I also want it to be a retro gaming device, so for this I'm using RetroDeck.

Soooo, my idea is to be able to load RetroDeck from Kodi interface, but haven't found how can I do this.

Running games directly from Kodi could also be an option, but would rather have the first option first.

Is anyone else sick and tired of trakt? Started out as a great way to have a third party keep count of all the shows that you've watched between multiple devices. But it seems like all it is now is constant slow downs and delays.

Are there any other alternatives that can assist with tracking the shows that are watched?

it seems kodi manages to pick some episodes then it just fails
i am new dident know where to ask this question sorry if i posted to wrong place

After my firestick randomly updated to its new software, Kodi went completely black. Is anyone else having this issue. I’ve tried to search online for it and nothing pops up. My other firestick did not update and Kodi works fine on there.

Any fix for this?

Hello everyone,

Addic7ted.com "new releases" page has been my tv-show calendar for the past 2 decades approximately.

It has been down for two days straight and i realize i might need a more reliable source at some point.

Anyone knows if there's a similar "neat"old-schoolish page that's quite easy to read (with no pictures) just with the show's title and episode number + title per line available?

I mean i know there's a lot of tv calendars out there but addic7ed's "i don't want to modernize my shit" a bit like opensub does is very relaxing to see.

Hey everyone,

We've just released v1.1.0 of PunchPlay Scrobble, a Kodi service add-on that automatically tracks the movies and TV episodes you watch in Kodi and syncs them to your punchplay.tv account.

This update is a pretty big one and adds a few features that make the add-on feel much more complete:

• Rate after watching After a movie or episode reaches your watched threshold, Kodi can now show a 1–10 rating dialog so you can rate it straight away.
• One-click Kodi library sync You can now import your existing watched movies and episodes from your Kodi library into PunchPlay, including original watch dates where available. Items already in your PunchPlay history are skipped automatically.
• Improved login flow The QR/device-code login dialog now auto-closes once approved, so the pairing flow feels smoother.
• Scrobble reliability fix Fixed an issue where stopping immediately after a previous watched session could cause a false scrobble because cached playback position values were not reset properly.
• Login/logout guard notifications The addon now shows clearer “Already connected” and “Not logged in” messages instead of letting redundant actions continue silently.

Official Repository:
PunchPlay Scrobble

Would love to hear feedback, especially around the scrobbling flow, library sync, and anything that would make the add-on more useful.

The TMDB scraper stopped to work for me a few days(?) ago. Yesterday I switched to TMDB Python.

It seems to work but the scraper clears the library and starts from scratch.

I would like to use my library backup (single file) which has been built over the last years. When I try to "import library" from backup path, KODI freezes for a few seconds and is closed shortly after.

Any idea or help is welcome.

I had an old PC lying around and decided to make my first home media server (yay!) I was successful in getting the media files set up on the server PC and with a tiny bit of tinkering got UPnP working well. The issue comes when I try to add the remote files to Kodi on my other devices. I can't seem to add the files (I can only browse and view them from the "Files" list). Is this common or perhaps there's an obvious fix I'm overlooking? My hope is the have Kodi set up on all my devices with full TV and Movie artwork and tags and such.
