Cleaned up pretty good. Didn’t import all my movie sets, but that’s ok for now. Only left 1 dup that I can see, gave it a different year. Crazy!
Still think u need AB addon on the N2 - but if you have the nfo and artwork files on the HDD then running AB to update all videos will work - even without internet.
Good enough for now. When I get WIFI adapter, I’ll remove sources, clean library (probably forgot to do that yesterday, why I had dupes), install AB, add sources and scrape.
Should I scrape with Universal Movie scraper set to The Movie DB? At closer look, it has better art.
I’m hoping that Kodi will behave better on CoreELEC
If that;s what you prefer should be fine,
playback is solid on CE.
OK, thanks a bunch. You’re The Man, a gentleman and a scholar. PM me if you want to penpal.
Major D to Ground Control. Over and out.
and when you use AB I would update all videos for the first run
what do you mean updat all videos?
Well - when I lived in TX, the people were very friendly to me, I had a great time there for 12 years - so helping out is no problem,.
I’m usually on most days, so if u have any more issues just let me know and I’ll try my best
When you run AB to add missing artwork it gives u a choice whether to update new or all videos - I would choose all the first time and then only new from then on unless you wanted to update old videos artwork,
OK, got it. Will be 4 weeks or more hopefully til odroid remote is back in stock, at which time I’ll order remote, wifi and bluetooth adapter.
So until then, thanks again.
On top of Southern hospitality, the TX State Motto is friendship, named for the Tejas natives who were a friendly tribe.
I;m sure any teething issues can be sorted out - almost there! bye for now
Will definitely Pay It Forward at earliest opportunity. Can’t wait to show off the system. Maybe that’ll send some converts CoreELEC’s way.
You can use any remote really. I never had the odroid remote myself but a generic one.
Some stuff works out of the box, some you need to assign keys with a kodi addon.
Personally, I like a remote with lots of keys I can assign like the T3 or MX3. You can also use a Kodi remote app on your phone if you want.
Can probably get generic adaptors too I assume. I’m sure several people here got such and can point you to one that doesn’t suck. Probably there is a thread about it too.
Mark - “Houston, we have a problem…”
I didn’t notice yesterday, but TV shows aren’t adding.
At Videos > Files - my external HD is listed as sources instead of Movies and TV folders which are the sources I always add.
I deleted HD from Files source, cleaned library, then tried to add files again. Same thing. When I select Movies folder, the usual screen with keyboard asking what to name source doesn’t appear, but I am asked to scan, and Kodi does scan Movies folder fine. Movies show on Movies page. But when I try to do that with TV folder, no scanning progress shows upper right, there’s a quick blip, it’s finished, and no TV shows populate the TV show home page.
This didn’t happen before importing the exported xml file.
Do I have to connect N2 with ethernet to my Mac? I’ve done that a viewed the shared folders but they don’t look like what’s installed on my Mac.
Cannot click on +Add Files to add folders. HD not listed there. After Videos > Files - I have to click on HD, then select folder from there, where folder behaves as if already added as source. I can only click Change Content, etc.
when u click change content, does it bring up screen saying “this directory contains…” etc
Is that set to none?
I’ve changed my skin to Estuary so should make things easier
OK, got it to work again. Started over and Videos screen acted weird, so I rebooted N2 and then it worked as before.
Yes, when I click Change Content it’s set to none, I select Movies or TV, then scan locally.
I may have screwed things up bcause I have TV folder with TV and TV Miniseries subfolders. Before I scanned ea of the 2 folders separately, but yesterday tried scanning the TV with both subfolders inside. Not sure if that made a difference or not.
So is this normal that my entire HD is showing as Media Source instead of just the folders I scan?
Can u take a screenshot of that and paste it - on windows it is alt+prt screen to grab and then just paste in this box. I’m not quite sure what you are seeing.
My folder structure e.g
D:\Media\TV\Altered Carbon (2018)\Series 1\ then the episode files etc
and for movies it is
D:\Media\Movies\Action\Avengers Set\ then all the movie files etc
btw my sets are just folder groups - not kodi sets
