Hi,
maineiac13 wrote:I have successfully (I think) installed MH-Kodi19. It appears on my Asportal but I have not yet tried to launch it. I also have the Kodi18 version on the portal as developed by Patrick. For Kodi-18, I have installed advancedsettings.xml which creates certain functions which I want to retain in Kodi-19. That file is located at: /volume1/.@plugins/AppCentral/kodi/.kodi/userdata. So I have a couple of questions:
1. The first time I use MH-Kodi19 will I have to configure it to find my video files, etc....or will it automatically use the information based on the pre-existing Kodi-18 version?
2. Will the advancedsettings.xml file noted above apply to the MH-Kodi19 version when I launch it? And if not, where would I add a new version which will work in MH-Kodi19?
3. After installing MH-Kodi19, I am still able to use the Kodi-18 version without any problem. Once I start to use MH-Kodi19 will that still be the case so that theoretically I could switch between the two if I wanted to?
Thanks for your help,
Ken
1 ... MH-kodi is a fresh install ... so kodi using old settings can't be used before ... (do it only one except update search and install)
... so first :
add share to be visible by myHD
myHD add_include_folder [MOUNT_FOLDER_PATH_IN_myHD] ...(form : /share/xxxx ) permanent (at start) add folder to be mounted
ex.
myHD add_include_folder /share/Media
... ... list of available command for share is done using :
myHD help_share
... ... by default NOTHING (no share) are visible by myHD env. (for security ... it's your choice not mine)
2 ... you can get the actual (kodi18) settings ... it's a
.kodi folder (even APKG Kodi18 can change it ... I don't know
... ... MH-kodi run under a "normal" user name astr and not as admin or root like in Asportal delivery (if integrator of kodi18 follow the Asustor methodology)
... you can copy the .kdoi to astr home in myHD and change owner
ex.
if .kodi from kodi18 is in
/usr/local/AppCentral/kodi18/ exist (confirm PATH I do't really know it)
cp -pPR /usr/local/AppCentral/kodi18/.kodi /usr/local/.myHD/myHD_home/astr/
chown -R astr:root /usr/local/.myHD/myHD_home/astr/.kodi
... advancedsettings.xml file are inside ... (userdata folder)
3 ... before launching MH-kodi a good idea is to update Ubuntu & Kodi to be sure to get the last version, and also to install binary kodi extensions if you use it.
from a terminal using root/your_admin_password
myHD apt_upgrade_package
at end ... good idea is to restart myHD (
myHD restart)
... to install kodi binary extension use
myHD_root command to enter as root in myHD and run apt-get ...
ex.
search for kodi addons apt-cache search "^kodi-" | grep -v dbg (exclode debug version) then install it using :
at-get install kodi-xxxxxxx addons
4 run MH-kodi (it's a launcher)
In all case you don't lost your existing Kodi18 and can run the two ... just .kodi folder is not share.
Philippe.
