is there a thread that discusses things about KODI? If there is none i hope its ok to start one as KODI is something alien to me and I really want to be familiar with this.Setting up, tricks, tips, tutorials, issues anything to help better understand KODI. Hoping those in the know would share.

- Sir sa may system settings, check mo yung audio. Dapat i-set sya para kung saan i-output yung sound. Medyo may difference sya pag gumamit ka ng ibang skin. Hth.

There are times when i play a movie bumabalik sa homepage nung player.
- Ito ang hinde ko pa na-encounter.

Ang daming pwedeng gawin sa Kodi(Former XBMC). You can add ADD-ONS/Plugin so you can stream TV show, Channels and Movies for free. Meron ding mga ADD-Ons na may bayad specially if you want it in HD.

Ano gamit nyong add-ons?

here's a link to the XBMC (Kodi) thread under HTPC -

http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,87964.0.html

I've added a lot of video add-ons and now able to watch a lot of US channels in HD for free, e.g. HGTV channel ... it takes a while to understand and configure those add-ons, need several google sessions to complete ... I'm considering getting this product to simplify the configuration and updates when I travel to US next month, this looks promising, cheap, and the reviews are very good (automates Kodi setup) -

I have two issues with Kodi, specifically, the special KODI version of the Minix Neo U1 (as compared to Popcorn Hour A300):

1) It takes very long--minutes--for my network drive to be accessible in Kodi. My movie files are stored in a Synology DiskStation DS414. I think KODI accesses them via NFS(?), (not familiar with these formats);

2) (Similar problem with TS Onkyo606?), HD Audio (DTS-HD, Dolby True-HD) doesn't play through the Yamaha soundbar I use in the bedroom. With the PCH A300, these audio formats play with no problem.

Anyone else encounter these? Thanks!

OT: yung built in player sa xiaomi mibox maganda rin, kaya nyang iplay lahat ng video files and passthrough na.

New user here as well, using Kodi on PC, though I plan to get an android box later. I am using Exodus and cCloud. Being on the "other side of the world", any one here know of a reliable add-on for Pinoy channels or maybe TFC?

kodi can access network files via SMB (Samba/Windows share) and NFS. Not sure sa Apple.

Thanks! In my case, the network files are also accessible, but at startup, it takes a very long time before the files are accessible.

Hmmm, could it be due to: the number of files in the network drive; the size of the files (most are 15GB and up); the way I access them via wifi ac (although once the files are accessible, I can play them even with no problems even if their bitrates are in high 20s and 30mbps)? Or all of the above?
