I just installed kodi but I'm having trouble making it work. I have several questions:
(1) it doesn't seem to handle the mouse and keyboard well. Moving the mouse seems to change keyboard focus sometimes, and it 's not clear to me when I can use the keyboard and when the mouse. There seems to be no consistency. What's the UI model?
Yes, the left main menu activates with mouse hover.
(2) It comes up full screen. Is there any way to persuade it to be a window?
Yes. Dented wheel in main menu to access configuration. I think it is in "interface / settings" (translating from Spanish, the wording may be different in yours). There is another wheel at the bottom to choose expertise level, which activates/deactivates some entries. But I can't locate the option for "windowed" view this time :-(
(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. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
