Third Party Media
For these 3rd parties addons, i hate their update and looks, especially when they just link other people's plugin into their repo. So we shall take directly from the source of their original coder / programmer in github. Movie & Series Elementum (Torrent client for best quality stream) - You only need to use its context menu with themovieDBhelper addon. You dont need to find file in here Dramacool - Asian (Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Thai. Indian) Live Chatubate -Other then monitor your own CCTV, you can also see what others in the world doing being naughty with their camera. (fast and reliable) Video Cumination - All AV in here. Another thing, to prevent your other user say you set this up for your family member / household / homestay / airbnb and you do not want them to go into the source or further deeper into the addon, just widgetize the shortcut (i.e latest drama / movie) and not the whole addon. So addons will be hidden all the time and your setup will look like the content is all from your kodi and not form 3rd party. i.e:-  You could also remove the settings shortcut and access it with press and hold some key on the remote. Screensaver My suggestion of screensaver is Feedreader since your screen will still be active displaying news with picture and background while idle. people dont watch news nowaday sometime while pausing your movie to make coffee or toilet break you'll be surprise what news appear on the TV straight from your Kodi screensaver Here the matrix version you couldnt find in kodi 19 And here are some xml feeders which are news worthy. You can insert 30 If you're lazy to type especially with nvidia shield remote control which drain the battery so fast, you can edit the settings file inside \Android\data\org.xbmc.kodi\files\.kodi\userdata\addon_data\script.screensaver.feedreader\settings.xml » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « See our member kampong2000 already not posting about train in kopitiam so lucky we have lowyat site to post them in kodi screensaver  ISSUES Other suggestion please post and here some of the issues 1. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai Characters support a. Download this font, https://sourceforge.net/projects/allfonts/f...NI.TTF/download b. Rename it to arial.tff c. Copy into put into this folder \.kodi\addons\skin.arctic.zephyr.mod\fonts d. Go to kodi settings> interface > Skins > font > arial or arial 2 or any arial. Result:-  2. Music delay - If you connecting Nvidia Shield to Synology NAS via network cable, you probably see all the drives without having to add source i.e NFS / SMB, just point that visible folder in the NAS where you keep the music and start adding to library. For movie it will work just fine but for music, after you spent hours for the huge library to catalogue artists, albums etc and when you start to play them it will be a delay for few seconds for each song which is insane. To avoid this please disable Opportunistic Locking in synology >control panel> file service > samba > advance settings which is enabled by default and even you dont use smb.  No nfs or samba or even adding advancesettings.xml file into userdata folder is needed. This post has been edited by sonypshomer: Feb 13 2023, 05:44 PM |

IPTV IPTV Simple Client (Stock)
Get IPTV Merge from Slyguy and follow the step Disclaimer this is the method to show how to get your Kodi IPTV setup with few simple steps and not sharing illegal streaming sites. The url will be permanent but the streaming TV is temporary, they will not be working in the next few days. So you need to find other source.

Let's Visualize These Radio Stations with Kodi
i found 17 malaysia radio channels live 24/7 on youtube that we could integrate them with EPG in Kodi IPTV Simple Client. Each station is presented with graphics, animated fanart, artist, song title being played and other info. Now we can enjoy lite.fm on kodi for the first time without being notoriously redirected to that evil "oh it's illegal to stream our channel other than via Syok app" loop clip. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by sonypshomer: Nov 29 2022, 12:32 PM |

UpNext : Program Addon
 A pop-op windows with screenshot for the next episode like netflix automatically appear when kodi knows that there is another episodes next available. Works for online or storage file. It will play them after 60 seconds countdown if you dont response. This addon is stock in Kodi 19 AZR. You need to activate it to work. Here's how it looks From episode 9 to the finale episode 10 - enjoy the haunted opening theme song |

QUOTE(lightning69 @ Aug 8 2022, 10:32 AM) For the best Kodi experience, I run CoreElec custom firmware on my android tv box. CoreElec is a ‘Just enough OS’ Linux distribution based on Kodi technology for amlogic based android tv box. I never heard of Corelelec, but i used LibreElec before on a NUC. I think all depends on the hardware, this new setup on my Nvidia Shield with everything loads up (fanart/cache) the storage already consumed 4.5GB of space. I dont think those cheap android box that usually come with 2GB space could handle AZR, especially you have elementum addon in it. Autotrailer also take up a lot of memory, definitely need a lot of RAM to run smoothly.Previously I use android based Kodi and they are no match for CoreElec in term of speed and stability. All the newer amlogic tv box such as S905x or 922x cannot support HD audio passthrough such as Dolby True HD and DTS-HD or DTS-X in Kodi but if you use CoreElec on these android box, it will happily passtrhrough all the HD audio format. The other benefit of CoreElec is auto frame rate switching. Most android tv just could not do auto frame rate switching but CoreElec handles it flawlessly and the movies will playback smoothly in 24p. CoreElec is Kodi minus the android software burden so it runs super fast and stable. If you haven’t try CoreElec, you should. You won’t go back to Kodi running on Android  Not just that the TV EPG file also take up space because it carries not just days of tv schedule but also image too. |

Kodi 20.0 just released, it's damn fast even with AZR skin heavy animated graphic, below version is running in my window machine:-
https://kodi.tv/download/ You can just install it on top the existing Kodi 19. All your settings including your skin will be intact and unchanged. Let the migration do its thing. Bug so far IPTV client - need to run merge again List a bit overlapping , already highlighted this issue to dev.  |

PRO TIP: For shield or any android devices. Kodi 20 has implemented some security measure until Kodi is no longer could access some folders or files from the network. You can see in Shield setting for app particularly for Kodi , it has extra option that you must choose which is "Allow All The Time". Please choose this else it wont work. By default it checks "Allow only while using app"

Dramacool is fixed. and i prefer this than icdrama (link always broken)
1. Get the repo from https://cywteow.github.io/repo/ 2. Install by overwriting with the current not working addons 3. Pick option NOT to remove the current settings Just choose which server is faster or without advertisement that works with your connection speed. And provide with workable subtitle too. Some links do not have them. This post has been edited by sonypshomer: Jan 22 2023, 11:56 AM |

Nexus Arctic Horizon 2 netflix-like modern skin This is the real work (non fork ) from the father of all modern kodi skin Jurial Munkey including Arctic Zephyr, Arctic Horizon. The skin is available in kodi skin ..more but that version wont work due to lack of dependencies, If you really want this skin, jurialmunkey repo need to be installed first:- Step 1 : https://jurialmunkey.github.io/repository.j...lmunkey-3.3.zip Step 2 : From the repo install Program> Skin Variables Step 3 : From the repo install Look & Feel > Skin > Artic Horizon 2 Dont skip 2 or else fail. QUOTE Crashes on Nexus due to SegFaults in ElementTree python library (all platforms EXCEPT Windows) Kodi Nexus uses Python 3.11 which currently has a bug in the CPython ElementTree library used to parse XML metadata. This bug causes unexplained SegFaults which crash Kodi when multiple scripts attempt to use ElementTree simultaneously.
