I would love to. But apparently the official OPENELEC build is 6.0.1 which is using KODI 15.2. And that's what i currently have for my ODROID-U3. I have two options then, either try running your build on 15.2 with stalker 1.0.3 which according to you is the only one works well with EPG and all that

OR

try merging multiple sources and compiling an OPENELEC 6.95 or 7 for myself with KODI 16

The amount of work its going to take to merge sources and compile is a lot higher than just flashing current OpenELEC build on an SD card and run your script.

Based on the version difference, i might will have to modify the import versions of the required addons for the installer. I'll try tweaking it on my laptop so i can uninstall and install KODI back if needed

Thanks

ahh.. not sure if this will work on openelec.. but giver er a shot i guess.. i have installed it on kodi 15.2 with sucess. (it was version 1 that didnt like kodi 15, version 2 seems to be ok, i have not done a lot of testing with it though)

First off, thanks for the build - I've made some changes to menus and stuff but it's a great starting point.

Second - it was crashing when not being used - fine when in use, checked the logs and it turned out to be the Phillips hue add-on that was causing an exception and memory leak. Disabled it and now stable - just thought I'd put it out there in case anyone else has crashing issues.

you must have installed version 1 previously. that addon is removed from the current build. thanks for the heads up.

curious as to your menu edits.. care to share?

How do I change the skin playlist for movies, tv shows, etc. I wish to use PleXBMC for my movies. Was hoping I can have that showing as my background on the home screen above the tv shows and movies tab. At the moment I only see it as the background if I press up to show the widget and select something.

By the way, looooooovvveee this skin.

Alright Psycon, Your ingenious build + the service addon for EPG works flawlessly on my OPENELEC 6.0.1 KODI 15.2. The only thing i had to change was instead of using the remote path to epg file in the builtin pvr.stalker 0.84 configuration i used the local path to the file otherwise i wasn't getting any EPG. Saw the same thing on Windows version of KODI 15.2.

Anyway.. the only thing i am missing now and most likely it has something to do with 15.2 since i didn't see the same on Windows version as compared to KOD 16 is the Movies and TV Shows menu including the widgets.

Is there a particular reason you think why both menus and widgets should be missing?

the build is intended for kodi 16. it may work on kodi 15 but some things may not work. i do not plan to add backwards compatability.. you may jsut have to make your own shortcuts again in settings>skin settings.

if you do feel free to zip and send me your userdata folder afterwards and i will make an update package for other users.

So i have found the issue. It's related to Kodi 15 not being able to import the libraries properly from Kodi 16 backup in your build. I am pretty sure its related to the library schema changes they brought in Kodi 16.

The way skin shortcuts are setup in the your build is it require something to be present in the library in order for it to show the menus. It's working fine on 16 because its able to import from the backup but not on 15.2 probably because of above.

The easiest way to fix it is to either add something in the movies or tv shows library manually or just export library from 16 build and import it on kodi 15.2. Once, the default (Limitless and The Martian) are added, the Trakt scrobbling will take over and start showing the content added on Trakt Lists.

Let me know Psycon if you need the userdata folder

ahh no, i was aware of this the kodi 16 version requires something be in the library as well. the included kodi 16 db files will not work with kodi 15 though so just go to addons>stream all the sources and add one show and one movie to your library

to comply with kodi teams whining about kodi not being used for piracy (when has it not been for that, get real kodi team, you can pretend your chit dont stink, but let me tell you it does.) I will be removing all references of the word kodi form the build. This is now just known as Clairvoyance build and will remain fully GPL compliant... also.. kodi.. what may be illegal in one country, may not be in another, pretty broad brush you stroke there.

kodi branding has been removed from the build.. dont bother reinstallling if you already have it, nothing else changed, left version the same.. . anyone know a good generic boot video i can use to replace the old one. or have mad video editing skils and wanna make a cool 5-10 second non abrasive startip vid?

I thought there issue was against the people who are actually "Selling" stuff (addons/builds) with Kodi bundled. If you clearly announce in your video (a kind of a disclaimer) that you don't work with Kodi and that you don't support the addons, that you don't provide any service, you are just sharing a configuration. Will you still need to go for a hassle of creating a separate video with a logo etc.

The problem I see with stamping it with your name is the whiners are still going to comeback to you asking why isn't this work etc. even though you won't have any control over it
