Kodi addons not opening

[scottmcmullan8]

Hi folks,

Just got the mega today - it is a brilliant box, so quick and hardware exceptional for the price.

Just installed kodi from the feeds and it looks cool. Added a few URLS in file manager to install from source so I can install some plugins. All works fine however when I go to the plugin and install, it says installed. i can't see it under video add ons - when i go back to the plugin it shows as installed but I can't open, option is greyed out. Any ideas?

PS i looked at the OPKG update post sicillian made - I did this but still the same.

Thanks

**OK found the option to then go in a further install video add-ons , sorry not use to this version of Kodi i am still on the older GUI style**

Spend £27 quid for a basic Kodi box from Am@zon and it will be 10,000 times better than anything on an E2 satellite box. £37 if you want a BT keyboard.

Spend a bit more and get an even better Kodi experience on the Venz V10 Pro with LibreELEC installed. Blows AFTV away.

I have a small PC set up under my TV which is solely used for kodi - I am just experimenting with new toys :)

I don't know if Flyingpig & Andy_Hazza own an OSMEGA but I do and I can say that it runs Kodi without an issue.
I am a fan of the Paradox kodi build and with the common add-ons I haven't come across any failures .
There is no need to buy different devices when this receiver is designed to do what you bought the box for in the first place.

use a program called putty to telnet to your box using the box IP and password (default) root and then enter the two commands on the last post in the link above and all will be well with the world of Kodi

*** sorry you did that already ***

danlou i agree with you there the kodi plugin on the mega is fantastic i can't actually believe how well it runs compared to some of the other attempts iv seen on other boxes. i was setting this box up for a friend and i was really impressed with the features for the price. the triple tuner, the built in wifi which worked perfectly, the speed of the box booting and zapping as well as through the menus is the quickest iv seen. the only downside to the box is the remote in my opinion - feels like a very dated design. can't fault anything else though.

[danlou]

Agreed , the remote is the only let down as you have to be very close or line-of-sight for it to work perfectly.
Having said that I now have a harmony universal remote and all is well.

sorry to jack the thread but i used the pluggins downloader it gives me krypton 17.1 it works for about 1 minute then my edision os mega crashes and reboots i have used putty to telnet on and install the 2 commands which runs through ok i have adjusted my resolution to 720i x570i as i heard that that could be an issue but i am completely lost on where to go from here

I am using Willo3092 backup of OpenVIX 4.2.030 and have installed mx3l-kodi from plugins/extensions. Immediately after installing I rebooted the box and once up and running again I used putty to telnet commands opkg update followed by opkg install python-pkgutils followed by another reboot to be on the safe side. Kodi works fine without any further changes my video resolution is set at 1080i 50hz in av settings, when in kodi resolution is 1280x720 which I have not attempted to change as it works absolutely fine. I have had a look in dream explorer and there is a kodi folder in my hdd, may be worth checking your hdd to make sure you have a kodi folder created there. I prefer to use my nvidia shield for kodi as it gives a better experience, as the osmega is designed to be an stb and not an android kodi box. Having said that the osmega seems to cope ok

[smelldis1luv]

how did you manage to get it to install to the hdd

Didn't Kodi drop support for amlogic cpus?

[1999gtv]

how did you manage to get it to install to the hdd

It did it automatically no input required from me, if I use dream explorer go to hdd and look in kodi folder there are 5 folders inside addons,backupdir,media,system and userdata

Is there any more work being done on the Kodi plugin for OS Mega as when using a build (I've tried Plenty) there is always Skins and shortcut errors. Is anyone else having this problem? This is a great box fast startup easy to use good price, this is the only thin that lets it down Thanks Sinky

[Andy_Hazza]

Its same for Vu+ receivers too not just OS Mega. Can't see a fix coming anytime soon either. Better off with a dedicated media box for Kodi.

I've also got a Vu+Duo2 and don't get this problem in most builds. Thanks for the reply sinky

[Bangord30]

I get skin errors a lot on builds I've tried on my duo2 but still work

[1999gtv]

I was getting skin errors and other issues all related to missing c-profile python which does not seem to be present on e2 platform. C-profile and python-profile seem to be interchangeable and python-profile can be installed by telnet. Command used came from a user called ian1095 on another site, and is opkg install python-profile followed by a restart this seems to have fixed a host of problems with skin errors on aeon nox and some addons as well. My box is the edision osmega and so far have seen no side effects. Can one of the more experienced users see any problems or side effects this action may cause.

[Bangord30]

Cheers mate much appreciated. They opkg command sorted out my skin error!

[smelldis1luv]

yeah i have had multiple issues with this kodi plugin ive reflashed the device like 5 times ive used the 2 lines during telnet ive purchased a ssd and installed reflashed multiple errors between kodi not loading to kodi giving error ver dependancy cannot be satisfied to kodi making the box reset after being on for 1 minute

just got no idea what to do next

[1999gtv]

Trouble is these satellite boxes aren't designed with kodi in mind. The things they are designed for they do very well and I can understand why some images don't include kodi in the feeds as it causes more trouble than it is worth. A basic android or libreelec type box will do a better job with less hassle

[smelldis1luv]

hi buddy where did you get this from
Willo3092 backup

[Andy_Hazza]

Kodi 17 plugin in feeds working fine on Vu+ Solo2 with The Beast Wizard installed.

smelldis1luv I guess from seeing a post from you elsewhere you have now got the vix5 version of this build. That was where I got the 4.2 version from
