Tip Top Tips: Kodi With The Latest Add-ons

This month's tip comes from PCLinuxOS forum member trytip.

It's best to start with a FRESH Kodi, so DELETE or RENAME your old .kodi. This addon will install the latest EXODUS, which used to be GENESIS, plus a lot MORE. It will customize the background and ADD a few shortcuts to the HOMEPAGE. This is by FAR the best STARTER package which includes VIDEO/MUSIC/PROGRAMS.

Step 2: Click on the "Add source" function at the left side of the screen.

Step 3: Click on the top text input box marked "" under the "Enter the paths or browse for the media locations" field.

KODI gets annoying because nothing is permanent and you constantly need to know what addons are valid, but then again, it's the same with all tv/movie websites and programs like Popcorn Time or Stremio.

You can also use the same REPO and install some OTHER HIDDEN add-ons, like Erotik (XXX) or Genesis (i guess it's updated). It should already be in your PROGRAMS/ADD-ONS/ADDON INSTALLER there are many others, but try one at a time. I don't know them all, since I'm new fairly new to Kodi.

SETTINGS

Sometimes audio is low, but you can amplify it.

Change Wallpaper

Copy any wallpaper to .kodi/media/. Then, in SETTINGS/APPEARANCE/SKIN, click settings/background/background path.

A very useful option is to have Kodi WINDOWED. You can then resize it how you want by dragging the sides. This way, if Kodi freezes, you can quickly KILL with a task manager. System/Settings/System/Video output/Display mode, then click the resolution up or down till it says Windowed.

Subtitles

System/Settings/Video/Subtitles/ scroll down to Default TV show service. Click it and GET MORE, then select OpenSubtitles.org. Then, do it again and add Subscene.com. Now you can use the subtitle icon. WARNING: go to .kodi/media/ and create a folder called Subtitles. Then, in System/Settings/Video/Subtitles/ Subtitle storage location, click Custom location, then underneath select Custom location folder.

TO VIEW HIDDEN FOLDERS System/Settings/Appearance/File lists/Show hidden files and directories.
