Hello Friends,

Post 1 of this thread will contain guidance on some user queries relating to the installation and use of KodiDirect.
More items will be added as we go along. I hope you will find these useful.

(1) Plugin KodiDirect Installation

(a) Normal installation on receivers with large flash memory

Ftp to folder /tmp - the attached plugin file :-

enigma2-plugin-extensions-kodidirect_3.1_r0_all.ipk

Then give telnet command :

opkg install /tmp/enigma2-plugin-extensions-kodidirect_3.1_r0_all.ipk

Restart enigma.

( Installation on receivers with small flash memory but with usb or hdd storage

Ftp to folder /tmp - the attached plugin file as appropriate :-

enigma2-plugin-extensions-kodidirect-usb_3.1_r0_all.ipk
or
enigma2-plugin-extensions-kodidirect-hdd_3.1_r0_all.ipk

Then give telnet command :

opkg install enigma2-plugin-extensions-kodidirect-usb_3.1_r0_all.ipk
or
opkg install enigma2-plugin-extensions-kodidirect-hdd_3.1_r0_all.ipk

Restart enigma.

(2) KodiDirect Update

When there is a new update to KodiDirect- you will see a message to install. Select "Yes" and the addon will be installed. Press 'OK' when you see 'Execution finished' in the console message - then enigma will restart.

Any update will include all previous updates.

(3) Addons

To install addons - in first screen - select "Install addons".
There are 3 options which are obvious.

Tested Kodi addons are in the 'KodiDirect list' option.

Any other addons that work with Kodi on pc or elsewhere - may work directly with KodiDirect. You can test them by putting the .zip file in /tmp folder, /media/usb or /media/hdd.

Also addons can be tested directly from the Kodi official repos or any other repo - using the other options.

(4) Play m3u playlists

Install plugin.video.m3uplayer from KodiDirect list - IPTV.
Make a folder m3u in /etc/KodiDirect and put your m3u playlists in /etc/KodiDirect/m3u.

(4) Play Web Media (Video/Movies/IPTV) Links Directly

Install plugin.video.weblink and put your link urls in the Playlists folder. See the example lists in the addon.
The video links are mainly resolved via youtube-dl. From the youtube-dl supported sites you can find the video links. The supported sites are listed here :-

https://rg3.github.i...ortedsites.html

For any web link that does not need resolving, for example live tv links, add playdirect- at the start of the name (see examples.txt).

Worked with DM500HD.

 

You may find cricket in SportsDevil - Sports tv section. Perhaps in some other sections also.

If you do not want to test it - why would other people test it for you ?

Hello:

 

I did ask your opinion being a core guy for this plugin.

 

Of course I have installed it on my DM800HD, i could installed some add on also, but none of add on stream any video/channels.

Please replace the plugin file /KodiDirect/plugin.py with the attached debug version (unzip first).

Then do the telnet commands :-

 

init 4
killall -9 enigma2
enigma2 > /tmp/e.log 2>&1 &
 

Start plugin KodiDirect and try to run an addon until you get error - or the video does not play.

Then copy and post the log file /tmp/e.log

It was an old problem. Corrected in an update. If you still get this error - please do the debug log as suggested in Post 16.
