How to enable Inputstream Adaptive in Kodi Krypton

What is Inputstream Adaptive

The recent update release from Kodi on the Krypton 17.3 has failed to enable a feature called InputStream Adaptive. So what you say ! What does it do ? How do I use it ? Well here’s a quick explanation of what InputStream Adaptive does :

This package is required to allow add-ons like the Youtube to work properly in Krypton 17 . Therefore allowing the add-on to support 1080p resolutions and up and solve some issues with mpeg-dash videos.
The following steps can be used in Krypton 17.3 as well as any Krypton Forks Nodi, MyGica Media and SPMC v17.4-alpha 10.

inputstream

Because the add-on is pre-installed in Kodi Krypton, it a simple matter of knowing where to locate it, and then enable. After opening Kodi, hover the cursor over the Add-ons tab in the vertical menu bar to your left . Red Arrow 1. Then select the My add-ons icon at the top of the screen. Red arrow 2.

Enabling Inputstream Adaptive

Scroll down to the bottom of the list of Add-ons and select VideoPlayer InputStream.

Select InputStream Adaptive option.

Click on the Enable button at the bottom of the window. Return to the previous menu. Repeat to Access the RTMP Input option and select Enable.

Confirming

As a result of correctly enabling both the InputStream Adaptive and RTMP Input, will now indicate confirmation with a Check Mark in front of each selection.
That is it, all done. You can now return to the home page.

IN CONCLUSION

This is a rather unknown and unused option in Kodi Krypton. So those of you who enjoy using the YouTube Add-on will, as a result of using the option, find an improvement in the quality and resolution.

The Rabbit Hole is a Kodi add-on brought to us by Thundercat and I have to say that I am happy to see Thundercat found a home.

Debug logs can contain information about: Database changes. HTTP callouts. Apex errors. “Sometimes you might be asked to enable additional debug logging “components”, which is an option in this same Settings/System/ Debugging area.

I worked through some of the content this morning and there is a mix of stuff, but of real interest to me personally is the quality of the live links.
