Persuading Kodi to read a uSB drive Hi, I'm running 4.1 on a Pi0 and when I put a USB stick in with media files on it in the USB hub Kodi doesn't seem to want to play ball.

Another option is to copy the.apk file to a USB key and insert the key into the TV’s USB port. This will work on most TVs and doesn’t even require a USB cable so it might actually be a simpler way to do it, especially if you already have a USB drive. Completing The Setup On The TV. Usually, the users of Kodi use it for streaming movies and TV shows, so they can watch their favorite content online. A less known feature but an externally useful one is to download the content to your local storage. This has huge advantages, as you can watch it at any time without buffering issues or searching for working sources.

Installing OpenELEC is really quite straight forward once you know how. There are only a handful of steps:

Run Kodi From Usb Drive

Download and uncompress the latest version of OpenELEC

I do this bit using my main Windows desktop. Firstly we want to download the latest version of the OpenELEC software from http://openelec.tv/get-openelec For my NUC I'd download the latest 64bit non-diskimage version.

The file comes down as a compressed .tar file. Personally I use 7-zip to uncompress .tar files and this software can be downloaded from http://www.7-zip.org/download.html. Once you've installed 7-zip we can now extract the downloaded OpenELEC .tar file and once it has extracted you'll see a bunch of files. The file we're interested in is called create_installstick.bat

Next, insert a blank USB thumbdrive into your desktop computer and double-click the create_install.bat file. It should show a screen similar to this:

As it says, the thumbdrive will be wiped during this process. You MUST make sure you choose the correct drive letter for your USB thumbdrive! On my machine it's D so I'd enter D: as shown on that screen and then press [Enter].

Once it's finished building the USB thumbdrive remove it and insert the thumbdrive into the machine you'll use for Kodi.

You need to boot the Kodi machine from the USB thumbdrive. On my NUC I need to go into the BIOS for this and to get into the BIOS I repeatedly press the F2 key when it's booting. Yours may be F2, F10 or Esc or similar.

Once you've got it to boot from the USB thumbdrive you'll be presented with the OpenELEC installation menu. Choose the first option: Quick Install of OpenELEC and when prompted to Enable SSH Server on start choose Yes.

Once the installation is complete it'll take you back to the first menu. Remove the USB thumbdrive and select Reboot from the Menu and let the system boot.

How to configure Kodi

When Kodi/OpenELEC boots for the first time it'll take you through the setup process.

On the Welcome screen change your Regional Settings as required.

If you plan to have multiple Kodi devices then change the Hostname to something more meaningful.

On the Sharing and Remote Access screen ensure SSH is checked under the Configure Services: section.

What you do and do not change from the default installation is obviously down to personal preference but here's what I change:

Disable RSS Feed

On the Kodi screens you'll see a ticker feed running along the bottom. To disable it go into SYSTEM then Appearance and on the Skin screen uncheck the Show RSS news feeds option.

Change Language & timezone

Go into SYSTEM then Appearance then International and change the Region from USA (12h) to UK (24h) and set the Timezone country to Britain (UK) which sets the Timezone to Europe/London.

Set the Weather

I quite like being able to see the Weather Forecast on my Kodi and you can set this by going into SYSTEM then Weather and on the General tab choose the Service for weather information option. The click the Get More... option. I'm a big fan of Yahoo! Weather so I'd select that one and then Install and configure it by clicking on it again once it's installed. when you've installed and configured it an extra option appears on the home screen.

Movie Boxsets

I've got a bunch of movie boxsets and I like them to appear as boxsets in my Kodi library. To configure this go into SYSTEM then Video then Library and then enable the Group movies in sets option.

Updating Library on Startup

My server is constantly downloading TV shows and adding these shows to my server. To get them to show up in my Kodi library I have to manually update the library. You can get Kodi to update automatically each time it starts up by going into SYSTEM then Video then Library and then enable the Update library on startup option.

Enable LiveTV

I've got a quad TVtuner in my server which is constantly recording TV shows. Kodi acts as a front-end to the TV tuners enabling you to watch Live TV. To enable this feature go into SYSTEM then LIVE TV and on the General tab check the Enabled option. The first time you do this it'll prompt you to enable the PVR Add-on. I personally use Tvheadend HTSP Client so choose this from the menu. Then click
