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

Does dolby vision work on shield tv do you know via this?

It does on my side. No issue with Dolby Vision !

Yep, works fine. Just use the kodinerds maven builds, those include DV support. Or wait for Omega.

The Plextuary skin works as intended, as does the collection view fix. All seems stable to me :+1:

Working perfectly here
Good job

Same here. Super

Having said that, I have been noticing some odd behaviour with the Intro/Credits Skip feature. Sometimes it kicks in when there isn’t an intro/credits playing, sometimes several minutes into an episode in the middle of scene. Has this feature been changed/updated recently? It likes to kick in when there’s text on-screen because it thinks its an intro/credits, but it’s not.

that’s a server issue, rather than a client. The client just reads markers that the server creates.

With buffer settings I’d say so. :kissing_heart:

The zip file doesn’t show up from my USB when I connect it to my Shield TV Pro 2019.

@HAL9000_PLEX : Have you changed the file-access to ā€œAlwaysā€ for Kodi?

This was an issue with Kodi 20.1!

It makes you able to see all the files

It worked. Thanks!

I note that when using CE 20.1 the CoreELEC menu item is missing under settings with this skin. Is this expected behaviour?

I want to say a huge thanks for this to the author !! I just switched to this on my FireStick4K with Kodi 20.1, vs using the Plex app, and I like it much better. I also installed the plextuary skin from the addon repo. I have a few questions -

  • AC3 audio doesn’t seem to play, stereo does. I’m using HDMI, Kodi settings is set to use 7.1 channels and audio passthru, and the ā€˜use Kodi audio settings’ is enabled by default, and Kodi is using ā€˜audio track (raw) android iec packer’ which is also the default. Do I need to adjust any of these?

  • can’t find much info on Plextuary skin, is there something there to set?

  • compared to PKC, this is direct streaming the content but using http, correct? i.e. there is no reason to use UNC paths in media library setup?

Hi @panni, first of all massive thanks for what you’re doing here. I made the mistake of ā€œdowngradingā€ my Kodi to the latest version!

I’ve tried installing your version of Plex but it simply won’t run at all on my box (LibreELEC 11.0.1 on a Pi4). No matter which version I try it fails to start with ā€œPlex errorā€ showing up on screen and the following stacktrace appearing in the logs:

Not a clue what any of it means or why I seem to be the only one getting this error. I’ve tried all the beta versions and old versions down to 0.5.0 but nothing works at all sadly.

Edit: I think in all honesty my installation was borked. I couldn’t play anything in the end and had to factory reset it. It’s working perfectly now, thanks again!

Yeah, probably. If the default skin is modified by CE, that would be the case as my skin is derived from the original Estuary.

Not sure. I’m guessing you’re talking about AC3 5.1 not playing? (AC3 is stereo by default)
I’d play around with all settings, hard to say.

Nope, there’s just one added setting which is on by default (the reason for the skin to exist).

Not really, no. Web streaming is basically just as good. Haven’t seen any downsides. Implementing UNC paths in PM4K would be a huge undertaking.

Well, that might as well take a good while to implement now. New job.

Is it possible to add a multiply speed play function? Or allow to call kodi’s playback speed setting?

New user of PlexMod here. I’m using it on CoreELEC 21 (Homatics BR4K+) and I’m not seeing chapters. Is there supposed to be a way to press track forward and skip to the next chapter and/or pull up a list of all chapters?

I’m running into another issue where the Plex Subtitles screen seems to be impossible to use when I have multiple versions of movies because it just lists all subtitles, across all versions, with no way of differentiating them. Luckily there’s the Kodi Subtitles menu that works as I’d expect, but the Plex Subtitles menu isn’t updated after changing subtitles in the Kodi Subtitles menu.

It also seems redundant to me to have the Plex Audio and Plex Subtitles sections when the Kodi Audio and Kodi Subtitles sections are so much more capable. Could we possibly just remove those Plex selection screens and just go with their Kodi counterparts?

Sadly, chapters are not supported. Is it even possible to implement it @panni? Chapter support would be really nice and it is the only big feature missing from the native app.
