VU+ Kodi (Main Menu)

[smith_rob]

Hi Guys,
Is there anyway to add the Kodi Launcher for the VU+ boxes to the main menu on the Vix Image instead of going to plugins?
ive tried changing the plugin.py to this

def Plugins(**kwargs):
l = []
l.append(PluginDescriptor(where=PluginDescriptor.W HERE_SESSIONSTART, fnc=session_start_main))
l.append(PluginDescriptor(name=_("Kodi Launcher"), description=_("start kodi(formerly known as XBMC) mediacenter"), where=PluginDescriptor.WHERE_PLUGINMENU, fnc=plugin_start_xbmc))
return l

to

def Plugins(**kwargs):
l = []
l.append(PluginDescriptor(where=PluginDescriptor.W HERE_SESSIONSTART, fnc=session_start_main))
l.append(PluginDescriptor(name=_("Kodi"), description=_("start Kodi"), where=PluginDescriptor.WHERE_MENU, fnc=plugin_start_xbmc))
return l

but it just crashes my box when loading up the main menu, can someone help with the edit or point me in the right direction.

Many Thanks

Hi,
I put Kodi on long PVR with button setup which is much faster.

Hi Trial, How have you done this please. Can it be done on a Vu+ remote? [emoji4]

[Trial]

Hi Andy,
why not. I am not sure which button it is on the original remote. I called it PVR because so it is labeled on my Harmony. It is the button which normally opens the recordings. You configure long Recordings in button setup with Kodi Launcher Plugin. I use this button because recording list and Kodi have similar meanings and I can easily remember.

Oh right got ya. I'll look at that tonight. [emoji4]

The way I understand it is this, VU+ are the ones that would need to add the permission for it to be on the main menu page or on the blue button, other people could add this option but won't because they don't want to mess with it in case it causes other problems, best just to keep the plug in exactly how VU+ publish it... Don't forget there are a lot of hacks and patches gone onto making that work.

[rossi2000]

a patch could be made to patch the plugin.py to allow main menu access.

Yeah I've tried editing it, by looking a other plugin menu posts and they edited the plugin.py so I gave it ago as per my first post but with no luck

[rossi2000]

you didnt fully edit the file, there is abit more required to do what u want.

Mind pointing us in the right direction?

[rossi2000]

id need to find some old files on here with the code in which i gave to someone along time ago for other plugins

[smith_rob]

this is the one i tried to copy

[rossi2000]

[smith_rob]

[rossi2000]

[smith_rob]

Dont think that worked, didnt show up in menu and when i go to plugins it comes up with an error saying

Warning
Some plugins are not available:
Extensions/Kodi (unexpected indent (plugin.py,line 226))

[Trial]

Hi,

Ok Guys managed to get this working with a lot of trial and error, if anyone wants it here you go

looking at it now i can see where i was going wrong, and what each append was referencing.

May I ask where will this file go?

[mskhan01]

Tried plugins folder......not the same file?

[smith_rob]

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/Kodi

Just backup the original first just in case

What image are you using? It's the plugin.py file you need to swap then restart the gui

Sorted mate, I had to swap the file in Plugins/Extensions/Kodi folder, not just the Plugins folder

Hi

I know there is a problem with vu-kodi with skin can you also confirm if there is a problem with navi x as this reports an error to making ref to log not sure where that will be have seen kodi files but none relate to navi-x
I double checked to see if it was a problem with navi but all is well on my firestick and androids

[satmanbasil]

Bump

Anyone else having this problem I have tried on a number of skins with the same result yet all is ok with navi x on the firestick and android so not a connection problem

[smith_rob]

This thread is nothing to do with the things you are talking about this thread is for putting Kodi on the main menu instead of in the plugin menu, I suggest posting else where

Excellent tip!
I've configured my solo2 as suggested. One long press and your straight in kodi.
Cheers Trial.

[mross]

Wish I knew how to install and run kodi on my VU+ Solo 2. Pure amateur I am :(

[Ashley69]

Download it from the plugins menu. (VUplus Kodi)

[Trial]

Hi,
that is why we added long pvr to ViX:-)

Can only screenshot from webif on Kodi if you use an external player like mediaplayer, then can screenshot the media playing, but not actually inside kodi i.e menus.

Hi stephentg,
XBMCAddons has nothing to do with Kodi. It is a plugin which allows some XBMC Addons to run with Enigma2.
