Concerning your issue with switching Kodi profiles: I cannot replicate that. All working just fine here… You might want to reset PKC completely in the PKC settings for all profiles. If that does not work, reset the Kodi profiles. Let me just tell you that Kodi profiles are not among the most stable things programmers have come up with…
Thanks for your reply @croneter, could the version of the PMS play a role here? I am using the latest Beta on Nvidia Shield TV, the URL seems to point to my ShieldTV directly so the NGNIX seems to be out…
Real strange since I use a plain fresh installed kodi (Leia) with nothing but this addon installed, I believe this has something to do with my pms but what? Plex App & official Kodi Addon work perfectly…
Does someone know how this pseudo dns names are generated? Is this like Zeroconfig or any other “magic” stuff?
I just tried the magic URL via a browser from the same system kodi is running on, the result is as expected, it completely downloads the file…
I don’t think so. It’s probably your network setup - I can’t really help you there. You did ultimately not answer my question - can Kodi access the following URL?
Mhh, seems we’re missing each other.
I have no idea how to test that via Kodi itself since there is no browser build in, but I tested (as I wrote) via a Webbrowser on the same machine without problems, so the URL should be reachable.
Hi, I currently have FireStick 4K and unfortunately I have a problem on this equipment with Kodi.
Movies do not work without turned on hardware acceleration. When I watch TV (from IPTV), I need to disable acceleration for FHD channels. I enable hardware acceleration for local movies (PlexKodiConnect).
I do not understand why, for 5-10 Kodi works properly in IPTV and later Kodi disables / blocks the image.
For me, the solution would be if watching TV acceleration turned off and for movies was turned on automatically.
Is it possible to add a parameter to PlexKodiConnect with hardware acceleration enabled?
I understand. I am looking for different solutions. Since Amazaon has nothing to look for a solution, DEV Kodi also says that it is the fault of the tool manufacturer. I guess I have nothing else to sell and buy another device.
I am trying to install Plex Kodi Connect on SPMC ie Kodi 16. After installing the repository I do not see the option of choosing the Video add-on. Does Plex Kodi Connect work on Kodi 16?
I’ve been fighting many days for FireStick to work as it should. I have changed the option many times. Yesterday I tried to open the movie directly from the QNAP NAS via FTP. I could not connect SMB. What was my surprise when the movie started running smoothly. Unfortunately, Plex Kodi Connect needs hardware acceleration for proper functioning. I love Plex Kodi Connect but unfortunately I am forced to give it up on FireStick. I would like to try a direct path but I can not connect to SMB on FireStick and Kodi.
That is not true. Plexkodiconnect simply provides a file path or URL for Kodi to play - the rest is up to Kodi. Hence you would have to take your issue to the Kodi forums and ask there…
Maybe I have expressed myself badly. For me on FireStick Plex Kodi Connect works smoothly only if acceleration is enabled. I will try to connect after changing to FTP. SMB does not work immediately, I read on the Kodi forum that you have to enter it manually.
When updating my Plex Kodi Connect to the latest versions 9.1 or 9.3 my music casting gets broken and Kodi won’t play more than two songs and playback totally stops on Kodi and goes back to home menu…
Going back to other versions won’t fix the issue unless I replace my Kodi folder with a backup where the addon is still at 2.7.1…
- can Kodi access the following URL?
