1. So I need to leave the 1000+ channel on the addon ? . Can I filter them ? at lease arrange it according to country , unwanted list or move to a folder ?
2. Which page do you refer for adding directory to video shortcut ? System -> Settings -> Appearance -> Skin -> Settings -> Home window ? I mean a directory shortcut.How to set it ?
well... u need to understand the architecture of kodi.
.. the reason for the 1000 or 10,000 addons there is becos u had many repos installed and zips extracted (or somebody else did it). so, u either get rid of those repos/zips not needed or start all over and install only the relevant ones that u want. the naked KODI app has less than 100 addons. but it is a challenge to know which addon is in which repo! so, u need to do some googling, watch youtube videos. that way, u avoid unwanted repos and zips.
.. every repo u install has several zips, each with a ton of addons. they are ready but are NOT enabled until u activate them. they do NOT take up space until u enable them.
.. do not get confused - when u want to enable an addon or (program) u got to settings/addons - the whole list is shown for u to enable or disable. during normal viewing, u go to video/my addons - this list show only the ones u enabled.
.. u can do shortcuts for a limited no. of addons under skin settings. you can set favorites for certain channels within an addon. how to do that depends on yr device - can be right mouse click or some button (like "menu") on yr remote to bring up the menu.
in summary... KODI is not the easiest app for any new user. need time, patience, googling, youtube to grasp the principles. once u get it, it is the same for all addons, plugins and builds. later, u can start to try to tweak video/audio options, do yr own advanced settings and xml's, do backups, quick reinstall with last saved copy of org.xbmc.kodi, etc. spend time, try, try, try... takes everyone a while to get it.
finally, KODI is not for grandpas and grandmas.
