Basics
I don't know about you but I find the RSS feed really annoying and it does consume a little of your bandwidth (for those with slow broadband) so I would recommend disabling it, unless you really need it. I am using Aeon Nox skin at the moment and that doesn't allow disabling but you can change to confluence which allows it then change back to the skin of your choice.
1 In the Kodi main menu, go to System > Settings.
2 Select the Appearance tab to configure appereance settings.
3 In the skin tab, scroll down and disable show RSS news feed.
4 Now, go back to the main menu by pressing the back key on the remote control or ESC-key on the keyboard.
My box came from Hong Kong so I had to change my time settings so this is how you do that.
1 Go to System > Settings > Appearance.
2 Select the second tab called International. Select Language to change it and then select Region.
3 Select the suitable region from the list.
4 Now, your system clock will show the correct time.
You can have the weather for your location, I tried the met office but found yahoo easier to use.
1 Go to System > Settings > Weather.
2 Select “Service for Weather Information”.
3 Select “Get More…”
4 Select “Yahoo! Weather” add-on.
5 Type in your location, all done.
Kodi/XBMC TV and Genesis Movie Library
Thanks to MJD
This easy to follow guide will show you every step you need to integrate Genesis with your Kodi/XBMC TV and Movie Library.
This guide shows how to integrate the TV Shows section. To integrate movies just repeat the process but choose Movies instead of TV Shows at the final step. This can also be done with add-ons like iStream.
This guide is done on a Mac and so the path I take to get to the stored Genesis TV & Movies links is different to that of a Windows/Linux/Android/FireTV user. The paths for Windows/Linux/Android/FireTV users is located at the bottom.
For some devices we need to show hidden files otherwise you will not be able to find the path to your TV Shows-Movies. This is very simple:
Select SYSTEM
Select Appearance
Select File Lists and turn on Show Hidden Files and Directories
Now you can move on to integrating Genesis with you Kodi/XBMC Library
On your XBMC homescreen select VIDEOS > Files
Select ADD VIDEOS...
Select Browse
Select HOME FOLDER
Select LIBRARY
Select APPLICATION SUPPORT
Select XBMC or Kodi if you have upgraded to 14.0 Helix
Select USERDATA
Select ADDON_DATA
Select PLUGIN.VIDEO.GENESIS
Select TVSHOWS
You will now see a list of all the TV Shows you added to Genesis. Select OK
You can change the name of the media source in this screen to anything you want if you wish. Select OK
You will now see a screen like the following. Click on none until you see TV Shows
When you have selected TV Shows select OK
Select YES and allow Kodi/XBMC to refresh the new content
This is now completed. If you go to your home screen you will now see a TV SHOWS link. Clicking on that link will take you to the shows you have subscribed to in Genesis. Now if you do exactly the same but choose Movies instead of TV Shows there will be a link to your Movies library on your home screen as well.
Use the following path for Windows. If you are on Kodi select Kodi and not XBMC:
C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\ plugin.video.genesis\TVShows
Thanks to 'Another Michael' for providing that.
The path for Linux users is. If you are on Kodi select Kodi and not XBMC:
/home/USERNAME/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.genesis/TVShows
Thanks to 'lassegs' for providing that
The path for FireTV users is. If you are on Kodi select Kodi and not XBMC:
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.genesis/TVShows/
Thanks to Dhorlo for providing that.
Use the following path for Android replacing XBMC with Kodi if you have updated.
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.genesis/TVShows/
or
Root filesystem/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.genesis/TVShows/
This tutorial has been done for genesis but it works with any video or music addon that uses the library function and I have also found that auto play can be selected in Gensis therefore when a stream is clicked you don't have to choose stream source like you would when you use the genesis addon directly. Also once you have created a tv show or a movie category I will show you to how add them to your home screen for easy access later on in this thread (which makes it wife and kids friendly.)
