The Dev just implemented my request for universal asian font like Thai few hours ago.





Please switch to NotoUniversal so your IPTV* EPGs in asian characters are readable.

*IPTV has been heavily revamped with proper m3u8 supporting HLS protocol. Most channels can be watched without disconnection now.

Should I pm for the source😝

1st page

My Nvidia Shield 2017 low storage issue has become critical, and I'm not that android savvy to root the device and use adb method to delete the files that have accumulated over the years, reducing the available space to less than 1GB. No conventional methods of deleting cache and thumbnails will solve this. Some people mentioned that older Shields have a WiFi log called supplicant.log or wpa_supplicant.log that can bloat up to 9GB, and you can't even search these files with any file explorers. Nvidia Dev has recently updated the Shield with a hotfix that allows users to choose whether to log or not. However, the fix did not delete the existing files, causing them to grow larger with everyday use. This is crucial since Kodi will keep crashing when streaming media due to a lack of space. After reading some forum discussions:

Solution 1 : Factory reset
Solution 2 : Root shield> adb wireless/ usb wired to PC/ find the file with terminal (learn some linux commands like sudo etc

Anyway i attempted #2 half way and forgotten that the device need to be rooted. According to some people who was succesful with solution 2 took 10 hours to delete the 9GB file.

So nope today i factory reset my shield and solved the problem. Now it has almost 10GB of space after brand new Kodi installed.

Now that my beautiful setup is gone, and I'm back to square one. Some long-forgotten issues have resurfaced as I try to restore that perfect setup. Here are some tips I want to share for those who want to achieve the same or are new to Kodi. Trust me, I will use this post as a reference too when I face issues myself.

1. Kodi installation

Get Kodi 22 Piers (unreleased but this is worth it cause Kodi 22 can play mpd with clearkey support which will make your Tivimate and OTT players obsolete apps, ready to be uninstalled and forgotten) Now with Kodi 22 watching assteruk is just like how it meant to be with no delay, no disconection, in high definition, surround sound, directly from it source and not via 3rd party server like right now.

Development build Kodi 22 for all platform https://kodi.tv/download/

When Kodi 22 officially released later just overwrite like usual no issue. Kodi script will take care of everything.

2. Issue able to access network but files invisible

After installing and beginning the setup process, you might notice that the addon zip files you wanted to install are not visible on the network. For example, while your Shield can access the directories on your PC, they appear empty. Do NOT meddle with any Kodi network settings like SMB, NFS, or anything that forum users might suggest. Stop right there. The issue lies with your Shield/Android device:

Find this setting in your device > app > and set permission to kodi ALLOW ALL THE TIME


3. Addons installation Issues

Just when you thought all the zips file now are visible, you will face installation fail due to some dependencies requirement are not met. No worry the culprit is this:-

Not just you have to toggle to unknown sources but also you have to set "Update official addon from" to "ANY REPOSITORIES" in system settings


4. Skin Installation

To install the Arctic Fuse Mod, which I highly recommend, you need to follow these steps to avoid failure due to dependencies from the original Arctic Fuse skin. First, install AF2 from the Jurialmunkey repo . Once AF2 is successfully installed, you can then proceed to install the AF Mod without any issues.

AF Mod forum https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=379344

Direct download https://officerkd637.github.io/repository.o...erkd637-1.0.zip

5. TMDBhelper Issues

TMDBhelper is a Jurialmunkey addon that compiles a beautiful database of movies and TV shows, complete with posters, wall art, fan art, wikis, and more. It integrates seamlessly with all of Jurialmunkey's skins, like the Arctic series and AF Mod. However, the database does not include actual sources. To play the content, you need a third-party player. For high quality, high-resolution video with multichannel surround sound, I recommend Elementum, which is torrent-based.

Here to get Elementum (any OS)

https://github.com/elgatito/plugin.video.el...tum-0.1.106.zip

Here's how to connect elementum to TMDB

type in URL https://bit.ly/tmdbplayer and follow it instruction



To prevent a dialog to pop up instead of directly let elementum find the source, click configure player

Set like this and save



And you're done. No VPN, No RealDebrid needed.

6. IPTV setup in the next post.

Stay Tune

You can always try and mount a USB drive for your shield if you have storage issue and transfer all apps to the external drive

wpa_supplicant.log is part of the shield OS not apps, cannot be accessed without rooting. The hotfix can only be seen in developer menu giving user an option to log or not. But no option to clear the log.



Older shield will log this everyday and growing bigger. Even after you delete all the apps this file still there.

TLDR:-

#KODIPROP created by KODI Developer thus the name KODI
#KODIPROP header is still being used by all streaming service today including Netflix, Hulu, even Astro
And they still hate KODI, Youtube even ban KODI content.

That's the irony.
