PM4K / PlexMod for Kodi (18, 19, 20, 21, 22+)

Thank you for the response. I admit I have no idea, how to implement these changes. I will do a deep dive and try and get these advance settings changed. I appreciate the response as I am now aware that this is not a PM4K issue.

I just got a Ugoos AMB6+ and setup the latest CE nightly and pm4k. So far I’m super impressed with this box and how much of an upgrade it feels like over my 2019 Shield Pro. The only quirk that I have so far is that my ā€œsmart collectionsā€ dont seem to show up in PM4K. I have two smart collections that are ā€œMovies Unwatched and Just Addedā€ and ā€œTV Shows Unwatched and Just Addedā€. They’re essentially the same as the standard recently added tv/movies ones, but they hide anything thats been watched and then displays them based on date added. Is there any way to have those show in PM4K? They do show fine in the plex app on the tv/shield/phone and the webui on any browser. Maybe I’m just missing something.

Thanks for all the information. I was able to get the XML file altered and all is good. Really appreciate your insight. Don’t think I would have figured that out on my own!

If a video has multiple file versions, how can I select a different video version on PM4K? Original video quality, not transcoded

There’s a little extra button in the main button area of the media to select the version.

Weird. Can you DM me debug logs? Ideally together with the XML for the specific item? (PlexWeb → Visit item → three dots → Show Info → View XML)

Sent! - Thank you for looking at this, I appreciate it.

Strange. I don’t see that extra button in PM4K. In Plex, I can choose ā€œplay versionā€ from Three Dots.

Nevermind. Found it. I was blind lol

Hello everyone. I have a lot of small video files in different folders, from my cameras DJI GoPro, in Kodi there is a convenient button in the context menu ā€œplay all from hereā€.
in plex these files are in the library ā€œphotosā€.
I can not find a similar function in pm4k, please help

Ok, would like to report two issues, hopefully these are either CoreElec related or PM4K - i don’t know, can’t figure it out, thus posting both here just in case it helps with debugging

First one is actually posted here as well by me

Some weird crashes / reboots when playback is stopped (not paused, just stopped in order to return to PM4K library / menus)

Second one
ā€œFROM the libraryā€
Either during starting a movie / tv show or RESUMING playback - after a few seconds you get the screen like you would when an episode or movies has finished.
Weird bug.

Running AM6b+ / A14 CPM CoreElec and latest version of the PM4K - for all that matters

I’ll provide more input if required and of course - if i’m able!
Thanks

There seem to be a good couple of issues in your kodi crash log; I’d try and start with a clean profile and a default skin.

Default skin - other than CPM Estuary, you mean? That’s the default skin when using the CPM release - but of course, I could change it to something even more default-ish

What does the clean profile mean? Full wipe / Reinstalling ?
Thanks

I’d try starting without any other addons and ideally with a clean install, yes. I remember there’s a profile option in Kodi, not sure if that’d be ā€œcleanā€ enough, though.

Will do - i will also disable addons that ā€œclutterā€ Kodi, that aren’t used.

As far as skins go, can someone that uses CPM suggest what works BEST for them, please?

Thanks & regards

I run the CPM Estuary by @panni but it’s a older version atm but still works.

Is there a link / repo or such a similar thread (Several skins for CPM builds - Community Projects - CoreELEC Forums) where are current skins are presented ?
It’s such a pity that CPM / CoreElec members got in disagreement - won’t comment more on that, but it is what it is :slight_smile:

When using the above skins on the latest CPM build (a14) with pm4k, they don’t seem to change the osd for me on my amb6+. Maybe I’m missing something or do they just really change the look/feel when using kodi?

Search is not pulling up the answer. Is there a way to enlarge the chapters thumbnails? It’s very hard to see the scene details with them so small compared to the native apps. There are quite a few more on screen at a time.

I am also using a Cube 3 - works absolutely flawlessly with Audio set to IEC and all sort of formats incl. hires lossless formats.
Be aware that some devices based on the chipset / CPU the cube and other devices are using 1 / 2 changes in the advanced settings XML are needed / recommended.
It’s also more or less documented in the wiki.

You need to set them to true - especially the second one.
First one is also supported on cube 3 and increases quality.
Hope that helps also with your issue.

Just to be clear: You’re suggesting to set those two settings to true for those devices, right?

Yes, correct. Updated the post.
