tried with develop_kodi19 and

  • maxtrix alpha2
  • nightlies

get the following error message while installing the develop_kodi19 from zip:

The dependeny on script-module.requests version 2.23.0 + matrix.1 could not be satisfied

solution:

change addon.xml within line 8 to

version=“2.22.0+matrix.1”

103

Thank you for this tip. It works. Sort of.

After you reboot the addon goes missing. A reinstall is needed in order to appear again.

Too bad is the fact that 10-bit hevc software decoding is broken as of now on Kodi Matrix

104

You can download the latest version of the branch with the dependency fixed. Make sure to disable auto update on the plugin.

use kodi matrix latest alpha or nightlies under windows 10 and plex for kodi. No issues with 4K HDR.

106

Pretty sure it works fine with OSMC as well.

EDIT: I should clarify this. I was referring to the “official” PfK add-on working with OSMC and not having an issue with HDR when used on the Vero4K player. I have not yet tried these dev builds.

107

I do have another question though since I’ve never done this outside the official repositories. How do you install these builds on a system (I’m using OSMC in this case) when they are not in the repository? Right now I’m running the official v.21.

Can the zip file be uploaded via SSH/WinSCP/etc to a folder on the Kodi installation to install it? If so how do you do that?

Thanks in advance for the help!

108

Download either via SSH or upload in any way you want, to the kodi addons folder (remove the old release), unpack, restart kodi, disable auto updates on the addon.

If you want to stay on my branches, you can also git clone my repository into the addons directory, checkout the branch you want and update in the future using git pull.

Edit: I’ve added a couple of commits to the develop branches recently. Some fixes and:

  • add advanced option to not directly play a video from a video Playlist, instead open the video detail window (on by default)
  • add progress bars to video Playlist videos
  • fix Playlists accessed from the home screen are clamped to 6 items

Edit 2: clarifications

Have a question regarding switching frame rate and resolution to source values. Is Plex for kodi supporting this ? I see that the resolution keeps all time at the setting of the Kodi GUI output. I have an AVR with upscaling function, would like to use that feature.

110

That’s a Kodi limitation I think. You need to adjust the non-processed-resolution combinations in your Kodi settings (I think it’s called resolution whitelist or something), whitelist all the resolutions you want your upscaler to handle instead of Kodi itself.

111

thanks - the whitelist I tried, but didnt work - so I thought it is a limitation by plex for kodi, let me try further.

Dev plex for kodi working in 19 nightly, but still no “Collections”?

113

In the following constellation my Plex Plugin doesn’t find my server. It doesn’t show my content und says “connection test running” (or something like this) the whole time.

  • Kodi 19 beta 2
  • Plugin develop_kodi19
  • Plex-Server in the same network (no problems with Kodi 18 and the old Plugin)
  • installation without problems
  • login in Plex withour problems
114

Kodi 19 build cannot load, same as official build.
Kodi 19 dev loads on Matrix but cannot open any ‘TV Shows’ or navigate menus in this tab. Movies and other videos are ok, can load and navigate. I need Dolby Vision playback for MKV which works on Plex android app but not Kodi 18. I use Shield Pro 2019, latest OS.

115

Tested it with the latest Kodi nightly kodi-20201222-95ec740b-master-armeabi-v7a.apk and the latest Plex for Kodi plugin https://github.com/pannal/plex-for-kodi/archive/develop_kodi19.zip today. Works flawless. Thank you very much for all the work.

I had to switch to Kodi 19 due to an audio passthrough bug with the latest Amazon OS 6.2.7.7 update on my FireTV 4k / https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=336151&page=89

116

I can’t confirm that. With the same versions I still get the “Server is not available” error. Plex can’t connect to my server. With kodi 18.9 and the old addon it works very good.

117

Thank you for this one!
It works well on Kodi Matrix and finally allows me to fully enjoy Plex on my Android TV. The native Plex player application frequently stutters on content and it doesn’t like most x265 content.
With the plugin, I can finally browse and watch my content in one application like I wanted to!
I only have one question: Does it support Plex collections?

118

Have a strange behaviour of the player, starting a movie the first 3-5 minutes nothing happening, then it is working normal (but I hear heavy load of the CPU). This started just yesterday and happens now with every movie I’m playing. Plex media players don’t show the problem. Any idea what could be the cause for this ?

I checked further: within this 3-5 minutes there is an extreme network load and later also to local drive. The time period depends also on the file size. For smaller video files only 10-20 seconds. For 4K HDR it takes for ever…

119

sorry for my English. I am using a translator. I would like to know if there is any version of plex that works on kodi 19, since the addon that can be downloaded from the kodi repository does not work. gives an error in the log. would it be for kodi beta 2? thanks for the great work

Any plan to include the v19 compatible add-on in the official kodi repository?

New to kodi-19 in the last month or so.

Number of Plex addons that work for me: zero.
