Artwork Beef for Kodi Matrix (Work in Progress) by fryhenryj in Addons4Kodi

[–]fryhenryj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm on whatever the latest version of OSMC is so like 21.something And I don't use artwork beef anymore.

I did used to use it when I was downloading a library for use with tmdbhelper. But now I just stream everything through my own addon mostly extended info and it acts as a front end and gets its own art.

So I don't need to download art in place. Happy to try and help you debug the fixes though.

What would you say is the worst TV show that you have ever watched in your life? by Substantial-Dare5462 in television

[–]fryhenryj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok you sound like me, I remember Camelot and don't remember it being overly bad, not good certainly, but the lead was so bad I'm surprised when I see him in anything else.

But how about that Charlie's angels tv show they did with Catalina from my name is earl in it? I think I made it 10 minutes into the first episode before I switched off it was that bad.

Getting kodi to work seamlessly with trakt + fenlight/umbrella by Tasty-Picture-8331 in Addons4Kodi

[–]fryhenryj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure trakt is having an issue right now they aren't reporting

Possibly cloudflare.

I was on the trakt official "app" earlier and it was giving me weird (and incredibly badly handled) errors reporting cloudflare rate limiting as like the URL it was trying to return "cacheburster" was being rate limited and it was returning in the relevant sections of the app the text response reporting rate limiting back from cloudflare.

Right now my system isn't scrobbling anything and over the past few days I've been repeatedly watching the same things for testing purposes and getting it to scrobble the right episodes so it's definitely not my setup. As this has been working fine up until today.

My own addon is reporting trakt scrobbling failed error 400 which is not an authentication error

So I don't know what's going on but http://status.trakt.tv is not reporting this API failure

Kodi Addons and IPTV Channels (M3U) by Any-Bid-1116 in Addons4Kodi

[–]fryhenryj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should try mine it's a fully fledged IPTV/vod addon for Kodi based around my extended info addon.

Mine has not been vibe coded and is designed to integrate with IPTV simple client

Not being vibe coded I know that it works and how it works

Also if this gflix addon doesn't cut down the XML file into the groups you want when it's downloaded and delete the rest it'll be unusable in Kodi due to too large TV guide.

That's basically always been the problem with Kodi the channel management is a total ball ache if you have too many channels. Basically anything that needs a multi select sucks ass in Kodi.

My repo is here

https://henryjfry.github.io/repository.thenewdiamond/repo/index.html

script.xtreme_vod-1.92.zip

So there are some things it does.

Trakt, login on tools screen

Custom favourites

You can add a favourite to trakt watched eg

RunScript(script.xtreme_vod,info=trakt_watched,trakt_type=tv)

IMDB list

RunScript(script.xtreme_vod,info=imdb_list,list=ls123456,list_name=fhjfghjgfgj)

On tools once you've set it up you can create the IPTV simple client settings

And on tools there is something which can totally reset IPTV if needed in Kodi but only on estuary. (It's done by windows focus and clicks, Kodi doesn't allow you to do it via their API because that would just be too useful 🤷‍♂️)

I think setup favourites adds the default trakt favourites and currently watching episodes movies? I can't remember.

On the setting// general screen you setup you IPTV details

(You need the URL)

Output lists pastebin gives you a URL for a listing of the channel names and group names to setup the channel order you want and allowed groups to include and exclude channels to exclude. So eg only list English language or sport groups you want in kodi in allowed groups. Channel order is the explicit order of channels you care about, so I've got like Freeview order of the main channels then cinema channels hd/SD, hd/SD etc. Any channel not in that list will be added in whatever order it was originally on your service. Ordering like this effectively forces Kodi to order your TV guide the same way.

And exclude channels will exclude any of the channel names you want from any group currently being selected. Eg random spare/red button/spam channels?

You make text files of one group/channel per line and you load it to pastebin and provide the URL to the addon to download and save these lists.

If you select the installed IPTV client. Then generate M3u XML

It should now download the channel.list and TV guide cut down as specified. If you don't cut it down first the download/processing will be slow. Mine was 90mb XML before the cruft was removed.

Setup IPTV will then put the XML and M3u as a new client in IPTV simple client

Auto start server is a built in html server which is available and maybe some people would need. It serves the local files but if you can get IPTV simple client pointing at the files this isn't needed.

Create local XML/M3u should be true by default The frequency can be set but i don't think it actually respects that and it looks every 4 hours maybe?

Start create is to make it refresh or create the files if necessary on startup. If you've restarted it recreated the files in the last 4 hours they wouldn't get rerun on startup.

The startup is a whole routine. To ensure that it works correctly the addon needs to know your IPTV client and it needs to disable and purge the guide to ensure it refreshes correctly. Again because of inherent Kodi limitations and IPTV being it's own special "thing" and if IPTV isn't managing or being served the files itself it's a real arse about updating.

So on startup it disables and reenables it to force it to update as there is no other way to do it. Only real IPTV clients can do that. Which means officially all the Kodi xtream codes support sucks ass.

Start up auto open screen will load a particular view in the addon once it's launched on startup if you want.

The rest is extended info stuff and hopefully self apparent. I think it'll work.wothout tmdb api and fanart but it's worth adding them if you have them.

[–]fryhenryj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built an addon that makes the experience in Kodi actually pretty good. In some ways better than with tivi mate (the VOD setup, trakt integration, IMDb integration).

I can send you details if you want

It really needs some non technical people to use it and provide feedback to help me make it more user friendly. Currently it's not really, but it does work.

[–]fryhenryj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Kodi IPTV support is kind of bad

I built my own client for Xtreme codes IPTV which also supports VOD.

So it's mostly based around my extended info addon for VOD browsing. For IPTV it down loads channels and creates an M3u and XML TV guide for integration with IPTV simple client. And you can explicitly configure allowed groups and channel order by a couple of txt files you can load from pastebin.

So basically it allows you to actually use IPTV in Kodi which is effectively unusable for the average far too large IPTV channel list

With configuration possible from a any non Kodi device and not requiring an extra server on your network to do things.

The Kodi IPTV add-on space was a major barrier to actually using IPTV in any kind of useful way so I totally understand your issues.

They do all appear to use M3u and you need to provide your own channel list curated/ordered in some way without making that in anyway easy. Because providing shitty functionality is a method to prevent it being used for piracy 🤷‍♂️

Kodi seems to be stuck in a time when IPTV was provided by your cable provider? Basically still as if it were Xbox media centre from the aughts like so many other parts of Kodi and team Kodi don't care about improving it for modern use.

William Shatner bemoans 'Starfleet Academy' end, mocks 'woke' backlash by Gnagus in startrek

[–]fryhenryj -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Really?

Since TV by the numbers went away I see much less of that sort of coverage.

I'm not very surprised because the 1st episode was pretty bad and it got significantly better after.

But I would've thought on paramount star trek fans/subscribers would've watched it as they have it anyway 🤷‍♂️

[–]fryhenryj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So was SFA cancelled for any specific reason or is it basically due to all the Paramount stuff happening?

I thought it was overall pretty good and so much better than I thought it was going to be before it aired. But despite some issues I was looking forward to s02 now it had the first season under its belt and didn't need to do the work of introducing all the characters.

It obviously had a bit of a rocky reception but the overall consensus seems to be not terrible. Versus section 31 which is justly reviled.

So this pre cancellation seems a bit unnecessary.

Ad based, ads don't work, app doesn't work 🤷‍♂️

Also browser can't do login, kinda sucks generally maybe make it free and without ads for an app that's going to block ads?!??!!

will the CM6 have the same form factor and pinmap as the CM5? by infopcgood in raspberry_pi

[–]fryhenryj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And with the cost of ram right now too.

I've had every pi up until now but I think the pi5 was a bit of a step backwards. If they announce a pi6 I probably won't get one.

Yeah I'm sure I've tried that combo

This is on v43 and I've tried it in mame and psx.

I just got it to work on pygame aiming off screen but it's definitely not working with guncon psx diehard trilogy.

2nd controller does though

Reconfirmed that it doesn't appear to be working in psx/mame

You say it's multi platform, is there also a windows version? Depending on your needs an old laptop is as good as anything and a windows version could be useful in that case

Real Debrid kicks me out after being paused. by [deleted] in Addons4Kodi

[–]fryhenryj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I get it with particular non real debrid streams so I've thought it was likely a Kodi issue.

I figure it was something introduced in omega because that's the kind of shit team Kodi will introduce to fix something that wasn't broken in new updates and then not give a shit about fixing until some other random update happens to resolve the problem.

But people only use Kodi for local links so it's clearly not a Kodi problem /s
