Kodi 17 ebox

There is no significant interface differences between SPMC and Kodi 16.x. You should be able to do what you did before using Kodi, unless you adopt a radically different skin.

Just a suggestion, if you are getting looping errors for installs you may want to consider doing a box reset to factory, and start over again. I prefer using the eBox, or mygica forks that emulates Kodi 17 over the patched forks, like FTMC or SPMC, because you'll have fewer issues with addon dependency compatibility...newer add-ons tend to use dependencies that are ready for Kodi 17.
