Kodi Advanced Settings Pt 2

 


 


This is the second part of The Advanced Settings XML article, in this follow up post I want to cover a few extra items.


  • Skip Loop Filter

  • Package Folder SIze

  • Remote Delay

  • Remote Repeat

Specifcally the first is for Amazons Firestick and reduces the overhead on the GPU by removing some “unseen” frames from the video stream.


Skip Loop Filter


  • Click Programs

  • Click Easy Advanced Settings

  • Click Edit Settings

  • Click Audio/video playback settings

easy advanced settings, skiploop filter


Access blocked websites


  • Click Skiploopfilter

  • Click 8

easy advanced settigns, skiploopfilter, firestick


  • You can back up to the twice and hit Write XML file

Package Folder Size


You’ll hear this a lot “purge packages”; so lets explain, packages are the zips Kodi downloads to install your add-ons. Kodi keeps them in case you want to roll back from an upgrade. However, they mostly just use up storage space. They have no connection to buffering, nor speed, nor performance, another often touted myth!


We can remove the need to do this monthly clean up by simply setting a fixed size for the folder and Kodi will keep it in check.


its worth noting that Kodi defaults to 200mb folder size, so you can make it smaller if your struggling for space on older kit, I’ve opted to increase things slightly to give us options to roll back in the event of a “bad” update, or one that annoys you (like the removal of download options in Genesis!)


  • Click Programs

  • Click Easy Advanced Settings

  • Click Edit Settings

  • Click Filesystem Settings – Enter 400 (this is MB btw)

  • Click Done

package folder size


  • You can back up to the twice and hit Write XML file

Remote Delay & Remote Repeat


These two may need some playing with; you will have experienced that annoying key bounce – press once get 2 or 3 characters, or you barely touch the button and get 10 characters – grrr! These options allow you to tinker and smooth out those glitches.


  • Click Programs

  • Click Easy Advanced Settings

  • Click Edit Settings

  • Click remote control settings

kodi advanced settings


  • Click remotedelay – enter 50

  • Click done

  • Click remoterepeat – enter 800

  • Click done

easy advanced settings, write xml


  • You can back up to the twice and hit Write XML file

That’s it for this section, I hope that’s helped demystify a few things and improved your Kodi experience.

Removing Old/ Non-Working Add-ons & Repositories

Removing Old Add-ons/Repositories Removing Add-ons and Repositories that no longer function is a natural progression of our theme directed towards new users to Kodi. As we all know, sometimes an Add-on or a Repository will cease to function for no fault of our own. But what is the best way to remove these? We will provide you the easiest method to remove an individual Add-on as well as the associated Repository. In addition we’ll also show you how to remove any URL Sources in File Manager. Why Removing Add-ons/Repos is Important While it appears the advice concerning repositories is factual and from reliable sources, you may have by mistake installed a Repo/ Add-on that may be malicious or may be using addons that are not from reliable sources. A perfect example is this excellent article concerning Kodil-Exodus-Indigo Blog. As a result, these should be removed as soon as possible. Lets start with a single Add-on.

Mystique: Kodi Add-on

Mystique, developed by developer with the same name (Mystique), is another add-on that is part of the Juggernaut Repo and this one really hits a home run.  The amount of categories and content on this add-on makes it one that will certainly be popular.  Mystique offers sections for movies and tv; however, has sections for Ladies Lounge, Mens Lodge, Stand-Up Comedy just to name a few.  To make the add-on even easier to use the developer added Real Debrid sign-in right to the main menu.  On top of all the sections I have already listed I need to add the Kids Korner, Documentary/Reality Tv, Music and Craft Section.  Mystique is definitely going to be an add-on you want to add to your set-up. Mystique: Current version of this addon is 1.4.2 This add on is “unofficial” and therefore not supported by Kodi Tv or XMBC foundations, please do not ask on their forums for help. You can unblock many “dns censored” sources with a smartdns solution...

Dothraki: Multimedia Kodi Add-on

Dothraki is one of those add-ons you will enjoy if you just don’t really know what you are in the mood to watch.  Dothraki is brought to the community by a developer called The Unburnt and it appears it breaks a few playlisters together as I know I recognized the Tempus section.  There is a ton of different content from documentaries to men’s and women’s health, a holiday section, and more.  They seem to have a few playlists for IPTV channels as well offering you everything from around the globe.  In addition to the various sections this add-on has to offer, Dothraki does have a XXX section for adult viewing… But don’t worry you need a password to be able to access it. Dothraki: Current version of this addon is 1.2  This add on is “unofficial” and therefore not supported by Kodi Tv or XMBC foundations, please do not ask on their forums for help, go to ares-project.uk for further support. You can unblock many “dns ...

By the end of this article we will have answered the what, where, and how to install Kodi, along with a repository, and an add-on. You may or may not be aware; however, the community is ever changing especially in the recent 12 months. More and more developers and groups have been shut down, received cease & desist letters, or have grown frustrated by treatment from other community members.  This has made it tougher to find the reliable all-in-one build as your go-to builder could hang it all up.  So our goal is for this guide to help you sit in the driver seat.
