[VU+ Duo2] ViX 4.1 Kodi

[mskhan01]

All part of VU's Kodi plugin.

I have deleted these extra extensions (SubsSupport XXXXXXXX) & now have just the Vu kodi launcher & all seems fine for me? Do we really need them?

Is it possible to create an extension for kodi to access it from blue botton menu?

Guys can you please help me. I can't seem to find the Kodi plugin. Where is it? I have tried in extensions. I have a VU Dou 2 with the latest Vix image 4.1. Thanks in advance

@ mskhan ...As scicillian said the plug in is developed by VU+, if you want it to behave differently or interact differently ask them.
Good luck.

It is called VU+ kodi plug in just to avoid confusion.

Right I've hit problems with this on my solo4k, I installed and run the plug in, I set video and other settings, I then loaded some TV shows from my nas which is already cifs mounted in vix and they scraped using xem.
The plug in then exited itself, any attempt to re launch the plug in now I get the Jarvis splash screen, followed by a black screen then back to the plug in menu.
I have tried to uninstall the plug in but even after a reboot it is listed in the plug in menu.
It will let me reinstall it from the plug in feed but I get the same problem on launch.
I guess I need a command to telnet in or a way to manually uninstall the plug in so I can start again.
Any ideas how to manually do a clean sweep of this plug in?

I was simply sharing my experience , not complaining?

Any advice on how to add the launcher to blue botton menu?

Try deleting hidden ./kodi directory on your storage media insalled on Solo4k.

If using fileziler click on server > force showing hidden files.

Hi,

Kodi plugin don't work for me I installed it but when I click the launcher it just sits on a black screen with the only way to get off is by holding the power button

do you use HDMI connection? Animation and Kodi are only working when HDMI is used.

ciao

had a play earlier, pleased how fast it runs , and the main addons work very well, only issue movies are always full screen, so kinda look strange to watch without the normal black borders, tv shows are fine as they always full screen anyway

is there any thing that could be down for this ? overall im very impressed how far its come ,

thanks

I do enjoy an in-depth review exploring the pros and cons and ending with a balance conclusion (or of course you could just just post something that's of no effin' use to anyone )

As it seems you just have


You wanted an in-depth report well here goes
Start the plugin
Took too long to load
Found that it had add-ons install that did not work.
Dependences that were out dated and did not work
Took a very long time to download from my NAS
Only played certain types of video
Video was not smooth stuttered most of the time
Had Aeon Nox as an alternative skin but had errors.

It should have installed a clean version of Kodi and let you load what you needed.
Not be expected to uninstall a load of out dated add-ons before you start
It’s version is Jarvis so why install repositories for isengard when Jarvis is available.
Conclusion
Not much thought put into it could be better
Verdict 3/10

You should ask for your money back as it is quite expensive

Thanks.:thumbsup: I agree re the slow loading, compared to my Firestick which is more or less instant. I don't use a NAS so can't comment there.
Were you just using the Confluence build ? (which is not much kop). I immediately installed Mr Misters Orroo build which is very good and all the add ons are up to date. You choose which add ons to install, so keeps it nice and light.
For me, once loaded, it works every bit as well as my Firestick. Maybe your requirements mean you use it differently to me and that throws up short comings I don't see.

My problem with this build is it is not a clean install.
Whoever compiled it did so after installing various addons ie genisis pheonix etc and at some time loaded Aeon Nox skin.
Aeon nox throws up errors and i was unable to uninstall it and reinstall a clean version.
The repositories used on some of the addins is an old version.
It would have been a far nicer build if it was a clean image , no plugins no addons no extra skins just a pure base build.

I use kodi on a zotac mini PC and it works perfectly using openelec no problems at all.
I also think that openvix is one of the best builds for enigma 2 out there.

But I will not be reinstalling this kodi version on my receiver again as i think it causes more problems than its worth.
But please keep up the good work.

 

[davieg]

Huh mine was clean had to add the repos i wanted in etc, on the other box where I had played about with kodi before it had all the old add ons that I myself had left in there from an older version (which made the whole thing a total mess), maybe try doing a totally clean install before slating it?

On Vu+ solo 2 has anyone found which button is equivalent to the back arrow on screen. The exit button acts like a home key so you cannot go back through the menus!

 

[duoduo]

Added Ares Wizard and installed Schism build straight away and works really well on my solo2. I didn't even take any notice of what was already pre installed, most people will no doubt use a wizard/specific build from the very start making what is on at the outset negligible.

 

[chrisnasah]

hi,

someone please help pulling my hair out. So the plugin works fine on solo 2 but only when I have my NAS server unmounted from my solo.

My NAS/Server is using mount type of CIFS share and also have option of use as HDD replacement enabled.

Any ideas? It is also creating ./kodi hidden file on the NAS

Thanks
