I just installed kodi but I'm having trouble making it work. I have several questions:
(3) I have a directory with some audio files that VLC is happy to play. I imported the top-level directory into kodi and it sees the sub-directory structure but it sees the leaf directories where the audio files are as empty. What am I doing wrong?
I installed it because I understand it is a popular and easy to use program but so far, very much not so.
It is confusing initially, I agree. I had the same problem.
You do not need to import directories, but configure an entry for them under "Music" main menu. Huh, I have to go out now.
It says there is an empty collection, fill it. It proposes to enter the archive section or remove entry from menu. I enter. Add music. A dialog opens. Browse or search. The list is a bit confusing, but one entry is for the filesystem root. Select the directory that has the music, then it will prompt for a name to give, by default the directory name. Then Ok.
That's what I did. I've just done it again.
It will scan it. In mine it then creates list of authors, albums, genres,.. a lot.
On my machine it finishes scanning with a music source called Music (the name of the top-level directory) and the directory structure under that, but not the actual music files. The second time produced the same but with the source called Music(2). :(
Kodi is designed for media centers, not exactly for computers.
Well, it claims to run on pretty much anything. So far it hasn't crashed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
