Hi I am newbie to XBMC. Just got my Minix Neo X8H Plus about a week ago. Still struggling to learn all the tricks.

I am currently trying to figure out how to get the 'basic playlist' and 'smart playlist' to work. People said I need to get that up in order to see that hidden MOVIES menu on the XBMC Home Screen.

Any tips? Thanks

For starters, you also join the official Minix Forums for device specific help and tips. s for the Movie menu, basically need to visit the video settings in KODI and point em in the location where your movies/tv shows are stored. KODI will by default (local scrapping option available) scrape the web for posters, fanarts, thumbnails and movie/show info, etc... Once done, the movie menu should function nicely..Remember YouTube is a great friend. Congrats on your new device... rclxms.gif

Thanks for your suggestions. I have tried many times to register myself with that Minix Forums but kept getting this error message from their website during the registration: An unexpected database error occurred. Please try again later.
It's really frustrating. I also did look up Youtube for that particular tutorial but couldn't exactly find what I really wanted. Anyhow, I did managed to solved my question on that extra Movie menu plus that playlist thing on my own. Did it through many trials and errors. Hours of playing around and tinkering with the settings to get it to work. I am still not exactly clear what I did to make it work out fine but I sorta resolved the issue for now. Hehehe laugh.gif

Minix's forum is undergoing some maintenance and that could explain the whole database error it keeps throwing. Glad you managed to sort it all out in the end. That feeling of success when the box works the way you want it to... brows.gif . I used to have an X7, so here are the steps to the best of my knowledge.

1. Go to videos in the home screen menu and select “Files”.
2. Select “Add Videos” and “Browse” in the add video source.
3. Browse to the folder where your media files are stored locally or on an external drive. If your files are located on a network attached storage, you will need to add the SMB or NFS share from the NAS server.
4. Rename the media source, if needed (I recommend this to keep things organized), and select “OK”.
5. In the set content window, you can set the type of media. Kodi will automatically scrape the movie, TV show, or music information after you have set up the media content.
6. If your movies are located in separate folders, enable “Movies are in separate folders that match the movie title”.
7. Confirm Yes in the Change content question.
8. Now, you can go back to main menu where you will find the new “Movies” menu with your recently added movies.

If you wish to check for new media files on Kodi startup, go to System > Settings > Video > Library and enable “Update library on startup”. You can also select “Hide progress of library updates” if you do not wish to see the progress indicator every time the library gets updated.

Here's another nice tip..You should take the time to rename movie folders with correct titles and year of release to avoid wasting time & downloading incorrect covers. Or better still, manage covers, fanarts, disc logos, trailers and infos locally using a media manager, then asking KODI to use "Local information only" during videos location setup as above.

Thanks for the tips. Will be trying it out tonight. I just need to tinker around more to get acquainted with this program just like any others. That's how we all learn anyways.

I've just learned how to add IPTV Stalker and am now watching some Live US TV channels. Pretty good resolution in SD although not in HD and no buffering at all. Youtube is our bestest friend and thanks to a large XBMC fan base. Lots of tutorials out there. Just need a bit of work digging the correct on out.

I'd say XBMC is not for those that's afraid of learning new platform/softwares. XBMC is all about exploration and that's half of where all the fun is.

Have anyone tried out KODI (XBMC) Android App on their Android devices? I've just installed it on my Samsung Note 8 and it's working beautifully except for the subtitle downloading isn't working. Other than that, awesome. Cool to have a Home Media Centre on your phone. It's like a dream.

Go to PVR IPTV Simple Client click on configure
then on the EPG settings tab change the EPG time shift to +8 hours
Enable the apply time shift to all channels
click ok

go back to settings>live tv general tab> reset EPG database
then go to EPG tab> reset EPG database
Restart Kodi.

I'm unsure what you mean as I followed the steps on the website and everything works perfectly including EPG timing (current programme titles and upcoming programmes show up in the guide section, displayed as Malaysian time). Currently in Malaysia, time zone in android main settings also set to same. Running KODI 15.0 Beta2.

I'm still searching for answer on the web, hopefully something will hit smile.gif

correct and I agree with members on this forum. I also started and learning using kodi on a cheap android device a year ago...sooner or later...your knowledge on KODI will be on a intermediate level icon_idea.gif

you will find especially the storage space is not enough and always get full very fast (I had 8GB storage space as well). I recently upgraded to Raspberry PI2 (solely for media centre/KODI) and it's running perfectly fine for me....after some tweaking here and there....a lot of lesson learned from here and youtube.

my 2cents fren.

Hello forumers!

Firstly thank you for the many tips shared here where I got the Kodi working almost out of the box. Just to share, here is the setup.

Raspberry Pi 2 boot to NOOBS SD Card and plugged to
1) Samsung TV -> hdmi cable
2) Unifi router -> LAN cable
3) keyboard -> USB
4) mouse -> USB
5) Power supply

Installed OSMC and set resolution to 1900x??? (Cant recall).

Changed skin to Kodi cause no online tips using OSMC skin.

Set locale to Malaysia and allowed NTP to update time automatically.

The rest, all of the assorted stuff from this forum.

Its working nicely for streaming movies, TV, radio.

Install Kore on Android devices and remote is working.

All this on first try.
