[VU+ Duo2] ViX 4.1 Kodi

[DaMacFunkin]

If you want to access a nas on VU+ kodi plug in you have to first of all mount the nas on the box you wish to access from, this will normally be a mount by cifs... If you want to mount your nas as NFS on certain builds of kodi, ie android and I suspect vu+ you will need to add extra permissions to your nas via ssh, there is a full wiki page out there on this subject, I had to do it on mine.
Once your nas is mounted on your VU+ box, you then import your media via the local file browser in kodi (not the smb or NFS option).

hi

thanks for the reply.

The issue is not with regards to wanting to access my NAS from Kodi.

Issue is I am not able to get Kodi plugin working when my NAS is mounted, I get a black screen requiring a reboot. When I unmount it Kodi displays fine.

Any ideas?

edit: all working now, issue was because I had my NAS mounted as HDD replacement, sorted that and all working now

To add to this my nas was cifs mounted on my solo4k, for the life of me I have been trying to cifs mount it on my duo2 today, but you are right, it won't cifs mount on 2 vix re ievers at the same time, even disabling it on one doesn't solve it, just to add I can access the same smb files by 4 or 5 other devices at the same time, I have found myself moving all my files now into NFS shares.

I have a straight forward set up - dish - VU+duo2 box - tv
Since installing 4.1 I am finding there is a "stuttering" video with certain moving objects. It does not happen all of the time and I have yet to try and get a pattern as to when it happens. It is only the moving object that stutters and generally the rest of the picture is fine.
Has anyone else seen this?

Are we talking about vix kodi issue or image . You should really start a new thread if it's to do with image and not kodi.

Sorry put it on wrong forum subject

I've now twice applied software update to build 002 and 003 I seem to recall, but when it reboots my build still shows 001?

Kodi shows as 16.1-RC2.

Has the upgrade worked and the build just not incremented to build number or possibly an issue with the software update?

This is on a Duo2.

Impossible, build 4.1.002 has never been uploaded. Build 4.1.003 is uploading now.

Hi Guys,
Is there anyway to add the Kodi Launcher 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.WHERE_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.WHERE_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 menu, can someone help with the edit or point me in the right direction.

Many Thanks
