hey guys, new to this xbmc/kodi scene. I'm using the MXQ 850 and i just learning the ropes here. Should i upgrade my Kodi from ver1.4 to 1.5 or just stick to version that comes with it and why does the kodi ui display on my 40" tv is to large but when i watch any kind of movie or stream the view looks fine.

Pls provide a picture or 2 showing the "too large" UI & normal view for reference. As for upgrading KODI, that depends on if the pre-installed version is a customised version, in which case, installing the latest KODI version won't affect it's installation, but rather they'll co-exist as separate apps installs. Else, the newer version will obviously overwrite the older one, that will either improve or screw up performance. Not all boxes can run the latest version without issues. So the only way to find out is to go ahead with the install. Finally, if you are satisfied with the currently installed KODI version, then just keep it. If it ain't broke.....

i'll get back on the picture of the kodi display differences. Should i use the gplay function on android or use the player as it it since i primaryly use it for movie and tv show streaming and is the add-on that is listed inside the add-on only or there are plenty of add-on on the web that i can download?

Yeah, pictures help.. What do u mean by gplay function? KODI is a "shell" with its inbuilt player, which frankly is very good (Best in my books). Yeah, there are lots of addons available for install.. Read thru this thread for tips & tricks (plenty here), Google & YouTube as well.

Sorry,i meant Google play account and i have linked the album of that picture i mentioned.
The ui problem i mentione

Oh... Yeah, feel free to use the Google Play Store to download KODI and other apps you fancy. Sorry, but the image link leads to a 404 error page (Image missing)... Recheck...
Hmm, guess that's a downside for ya... Try these others.... AutoStart - No root or Autostart and StaY!. There are a bunch more in the Play Store.. So check them out... Personally, I don't care to have any apps autostart, scared if an issue arises, might be difficult to get in and have to reset the box without a backup... No fun!.. Kodi app's icon is right there on my home screen, one click away upon booting.

i recheck the security setting on the album, sorry man

question again, 2 actually.
1- let's say that i'm using genesis and watching a tv series which is hosting i.e vidic/streaming/mq. Suddenly my connection drop, reboot the modem and genesis can't find the the previous source. What could be the issue?
2- This does not confine to genesis alone, but why does sometimes source stream a different video/tv show that i choose from?

A source to stream from, is usually just that... A source to stream from. What an addon like Genesis does, is to simplify the searching process by linking stream-able sources with their respective media titles & in an organized fashion.. Well, sometimes, sources die (taken down or deleted), other times they r updated and replaced with better or worse links based on availability. Then there are the times (very rarely) when, say sources get mixed up. This is why the folks in the background who ensure the addon runs smoothly are very important to the community.

so what you are saying i just have to hope they are implying i need to wait for the next update to see if the url are fixed or not.
By the way, i've read on kodi that installing kodi on a cheap wirecast dongle(some said firestick) that they sold at lowyat is much better than the hardware i.e mqx805 box that i have now. Does kodi really don't care about hardware so much in term of streaming and displaying the video?

What I'm saying is that, you launch Genesis addon, locate media title you want to watch, wait for it to search and populate available sources, select your preferred link and stream. if what you want is not there, go seek somewhere else... There are other addons available (please don't ask for specifics, read this thread) or you can download yourself and play files locally. As for KODI support on Miracast dongles much better than your MQX805 box.... Sorry, that means that the MQX805 really sucks, cuz KODI + "sticks or dongles", especially cheap ones do NOT mix well. See, installing KODI on a stick, phone, tablet, PC or Box is easy... Getting that smooth performance is not. KODI cares a lot about hardware.

i see thanks for the detail info, well much more to learn on the kodi and the add on..

i've upgraded my helix to isengrad, seems there is no problem yet (hopefully). Start dabbling in making profiles for my box, i've created a separate profile for home and set the addon as separate, since my wife doesn't like scrolling through the addon so much. My question is let say i added an addon on profile a but why is the same addon shows up on profile b even though i set both profile sources and addon as separate?

You don't actually need to create separate profiles. Simply install a skin that allows main menu editing, create a tab and underneath it, shortcuts to instantly launch her preferred addons. You can do the same for yourself, either way.. Both parties are happy.

Many thanks for the info, is there a simpler skin you guys would suggest which has many shortcuts?. I'm currently using confluence which only four shortcuts for each type.

Dramanice and kissasian down is it?

Kissasian and kiss cartoon has some major changes on web it self. Kiss anime maybe share the same fate soon luckily the dev highway99 is on the issue.

I qoute his last post

Thank you, I was checking KissAsian today and noticed too. Seems to be a bit of differences in last half of the kissenc.min.js as well as the hex values in a couple strings. Variable names seem to also be changed, but overall function seems to be the same.
