The issue lies in how Kodi handles add-on settings when add-ons run multiple processes at the same time, like how Seren runs a background service to grab all that sweet, sweet Trakt metadata, and make sure your debrid tokens are always rarin' to go. Due to some pretty poor handling of multi-process logic in Kodi core, Seren was inadvertently. IVUE 2 TV Guide iswell, a TV Guide. It fills that gap. Specifically, it’s a TV guide add-on for Kodi that features implementation with various IPTV plug-ins. Getting IVUE 2 TV Guide up and running on your system will take a little bit of tinkering, though, so keep reading if you want help learning how to do that. .IMPORTANT: Subscribe to my 2nd Channel 'Simply Caz' For Future Updates https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrwSx5sZh5ydPzf7jOS7ZQ. 24.3 iVue TV Guide hints; 24.4 How to install Kodi v18.9 after a forced update to Kodi v19.0; 24.5 Touchscreen tip for Xenon Plus for Kodi Matrix; 24.6 Creating a log with debug logging; 24.7 Authorize Debrid And Trakt on Xenon Amber v2; 24.8 Using Trakt Library with Seren; 24.9 Import Save Data manually to a new build or fork, or copy logins.

Kodi game emulation does not work with Xbox
Leroy Brown:
Ok guys, just want to clear up the situation with Xbox and Kodi game emulation. Gaming emulators with Kodi on Xbox will never work because Microsoft wont allow it. Heres a statement from Kodi team. 'There will be no emulators inside Kodi for UWP, just like there are no emulators in the Windows store. Microsoft doesn't allow emulators in their store, so in order for Kodi to be in the store (and on the XBOX), the UWP builds very likely won't ever have the retroarch support for retroplayer (maybe not even retroplayer). Thus, any of the rom browsers/downloader add-on for Kodi are pointless on the XBOX'😔
Please don't ask where to find movies/series
Bill Everly:
Please DO NOT ask where you can find X movie or X TV show - search within the addon's. This is a build group not tv guide.

How to import your Trakt TV collection to your Kodi library
https://www.facebook.com/groups/2017565358471505/permalink/2435573033337400/
How to import your Trakt TV collection to your library (using Xenon 19.2).
You have to use your favorite addon, authorize it with Trakt and go to the Tools / Library section (usually) and select eg 'Import TV Collection', then the collection will appear in your library.Before doing that you could remove from trakt.tv site huge series (like the 3.606 episodes of The daily show, and keep the last episode you saw), that will make importing a lot quicker.(pic 1, Scrubs).
If you click on Library and select TV shows after importing there would be several options to play with (Titles shows all).(pic 2, Library / TV shows options)
If your default addon can't find streams or you just want another addon to play an episode, just right-click (or hold click for a bit on shields) and select Open Meta, and on the next menu choose the proper series (if more than one with the same name) and the addon to play the episode.(pic3, Open Meta)
If you watch new series, and want an easy TV guide about the next episode(s) try TV Show - Next Aired.(pic 4, TV Show - Next Aired)
Recommended Trakt addon settings (Rating disabled, Sync enabled, Remove deleted Movies/TV Episodes from Trakt collections should ALWAYS be DISABLED to avoid losing your entire collection in Trakt.tv site).
It seems that a few members managed to get duplicates in their library trying to add series using 2 addons, OpenMeta and another one.Unless both addons have an option 'Avoid creating duplicate content' like the IT addon has by default, don't use both, OpenMeta doesn't have that option so if you have to use it, use it alone. Or else, duplicates.Furthermore, you can disable OpenMeta's library updates to avoid that message on startup -if you don't add anything from OpenMeta to the library you'll be safe to authorize Trakt on it like on all addons.
If you click on a series on favorites, add it on library and marks are not there, go to the library, right-click on any series, click on Trakt options, and then click on Synchronize library.
If you have trouble with wrong names you can go to your library, find the series with the wrong name, right-click on it, click Information, click on Refresh, click Yes 2 times, and select the correct name of the series, or click on Manual and type the proper name you found in imdb.com, and select the correct one from the new list, for example type: The Twilight Zone (2019), and a new list will appear.
When you sync your addon with Trakt any lists in your trakt.tv account are synced as well.
Go to your addon, to your My Movies or My TV Shows folder and select Movie Lists, then select the list you need to add, long press or right-click and select Add to Library.
If new episodes don't appear in library, if you use IT try updating library from it, not from Kodi's Update library.
Eg open IT, go to Tools / IT: Library, and click on IT: Update library... (I created a shortcut of this in my library section).
For other addons, check the settings for similar Update library options.
You have to use 'Sync collection on library update or cleaning' in Trakt addon settings (see pics above) for sync to work automatically.

Buffering tip
https://www.facebook.com/groups/2017565358471505/permalink/2473792772848759/
If you want to quickly check if a source is buffering you might use CTRL + Shift + O (or map this to a key on your android remote).
After the word forward, it will show how many MBs the source has buffered, a cache percentage, and milliseconds of movie/episode remaining.
This can be done while playing the movie/episode or you may pause it. If it stays 0 or it moves really slow, you might have to get another source.
Glossary:
aq = Audio queue saturation
Kb/s = Current audio bitrate (reported by player)
att = Attenuation / gain added by player
vq = Video queue saturation
Mb/s = Current video bitrate (reported by player)
fr = Source framerate
drop = Number of dropped frames
skip = Number of skipped frames
pc = Pullup correction pattern length
a/v = Audio/video sync difference (real time)
forward = Size of cached data and % of cache utilized
VsyncOff = Indicates the offset between the vertical sync signal of the display and the timestamps of the video frames

Whitelisting
https://www.facebook.com/groups/2017565358471505/permalink/2442599385968098/
Whitelisting is DANGEROUS. Even whitelisting a single addon could render it or the entire build unusable. If you choose to use it make sure to backup what you might lose.
Using addons whitelisting before a fresh install.
You might already know about the Save Data section in the wizard where you can choose to save your RD and some Trakt info before doing a fresh install of a build.
Here's how you can select all your already authorized in Trakt addons to keep before a fresh install. So, you will not have to reauthorize those addons after your fresh install.
You can also keep new repositories or addons you added over a build -no need to select extra stuff like Scrubs Fanart etc.
Remember to do a Force update addons, or a manual Check for updates before the fresh install so all your kept addons are up to date.
After updating the build remember to go to your Add-ons section and enable the repos and addons you whitelisted -wizard disables them for safety reasons.
Of course, whitelisting should be used with common sense.
If for example you whitelist Diggz Favorites, after a fresh install half your build might not work.
If the dev says he made custom changes to an addon for the next build update, do not whitelist that addon.
Whitelisting is a great tool if used with caution, and you may always turn it off if problems arise and do a full fresh install.
If you manage to damage things and menus don't show up after a fresh install, go to device Settings / Apps / Kodi, clear data, and do a fresh install.

Redbolt skin settings and color theme backup tips
https://www.facebook.com/groups/2017565358471505/permalink/2508136939414342/
Since it first came out Redbolt has been my favorite, here's how you can backup your color theme and skin settings changes.
1 After using Custom color settings to change colors to your liking, click on Color themes / Manage color themes.
2 Click on Create Color Theme -after a fresh install just select Import Color Theme here.Your theme will be created in the userdata/addon_data/skin.titan.mod.beta.leia/themes folder and you'll have to copy that folder and paste it outside the Kodi folder before a fresh install.
If you have multiple themes they'll all be in the same folder.
3 I heavily edit skin settings and Redbolt's skin lets you backup and restore your skin settings changes.
First go to Backup and restore / Manage skin backups.
4 Click on settings and choose the Default backup path. Here's where you'll find the zip file that you'll have to place outside Kodi like the themes folder above before a fresh install.
5 Click on Backup the skin settings. Now the zip file is in your selected backup path.To restore it after a fresh install, choose a default backup path like above, place the zip file in that folder and click on the Restore the skin settings button.
Enable / disable startup videos in Diggz builds
https://www.facebook.com/groups/2017565358471505/permalink/2521678688060167/
Redbolt and Seren Builds don't have a startup video set, but you may use the videos below or your own.
If you enable/disable a startup video for eg Eminence in Planet Diggz and use another skin, then you must enable/disable the startup video for that skin.
The videos are usually in the /addons/ folder in appropriate skin folders:
Xenon: /addons/skin.xenon18/extras/Intro/KODI-Intro-Video.mp4
Eminence: /addons/skin.eminence.2.mod/extras/backgrounds/emINTRO.mp4

Debug logging popup removal

If you get an annoying message on top-left (debug logging pic 1) here's how to remove it and what to do to avoid seeing it again.
Use CTRL + Shift + D, or go to Settings / System / Logging, and disable debug logging (pic 2).
Always wait for a build to update fully after a fresh install (2-3 minutes).
If you're using a build with multiple skins, don't change to another skin while the previous is 'busy'.
If you use Xenon Plus v3.6.4 click on Toggle Debug Logging under Xenon Plus.

Authorize debrid on Doom and Destiny clones to avoid ISP emails
https://www.facebook.com/groups/2017565358471505/permalink/2625066054388096/
If you have just got Real Debrid or another premium service, and you're worried about emails from your ISP, don't be.
But.
If you use Doom and Destiny clone addons, make sure to authorize debrid on those, and enable debrid on their settings.
If you don't, they will use normal torrents, not debrid torrents, so an email from your ISP will be a possibility.
To find all Destiny clones, use Search with 'Destiny'.

Use your favorite torrent sites to get the magnet links.
Examples for uploading using Real Debrid, Premiumize, and AllDebrid, and using Fen, and Premiumize Cloud addons to stream what is uploaded (I only use Premiumize but you can easily see the RD or AD section in Fen, it's pointed in the video).
For TV Shows, I prefer uploading seasons instead of episodes.
You may also open Seren, and go to My Files to see all uploaded movies / series.
Real Debrid users may also use Realizer addon for Kodi 18.9:

2 ways to backup your build
https://www.facebook.com/groups/2017565358471505/permalink/2759973027564064
1 Using the Chef wizard v420.2.
Use [Back Up]: Build to create the backup, it would be where the Back Up Location mentions -I couldn't change the location in this version of the wizard, it might be my platform.
Remember to save the skin too when asked -towards the end of the zipping.
To restore a build (pic).
Open an empty Kodi, install the wizard and use [Restore]: Local Build after placing the 2 zips created above in the Back Up Location mentioned on your new Kodi.
You may use [Restore]: External Build to restore from NFS or SMB network locations.
2 Manual backup and restore.
Use a file manager and go to your build folder (.kodi). Select both the addons and the userdata folder and Add to zip file(s).
Make sure to move those zip files outside the Kodi folder to avoid them being deleted when you update/delete the build.
Restore to a new device:
Install a new Kodi in the destination device and use a file manager to unzip those 2 folders inside your build folder (.kodi).
Remember to restore your back up to a same platfform device if you clone backups the second way -if you create and restore backups using the wizard it will work if you restore to different platforms.
If you created your backup from an android device, restore to an android device.
If you created your backup from windows, restore to a windows device, etc.

If you use a debrid service like Real Debrid, you might not need to use the following at all.
Open the Chef wizard and navigate to Maintenance / System Tweaks/Fixes / Advanced Settings / Cache & Network Presets.
These are the presets available, for example if you have a little more than 450MB of free ram (see Kodi's System information), choose Low-RAM Preset. If you have over 900MB of free RAM, choose High-End Preset.
You may choose the Default Network & Cache Settings peset and edit manually memory size in bytes (your total of free RAM / 3).
Default Network & Cache Settings -------- You may add your own buffer memory.
Zero Cache Preset --------------------------- 0MB free RAM.
Low-RAM Device Preset -------------------- 450MB free RAM.
High-End Device Preset --------------------- 900MB free RAM.
To make sure it's a slow source that causes buffering you may use the Buffering tip.

Another easier way is to just disable Wrap Around menu, but the above one gives better results:
Click Skin Settings > Home Window and turn OFF Wrap Around menu. If you long-press and swipe each menu it works.
Creating a log with debug logging
Go to Settings > System > Logging > Enable debug logging, enable it and close the build.
Open the build do the same sequence that created your issue, then close the build.
In kodi/temp/ you'll find kodi.log which helps devs or even admins/mods to find what happened.
If you want to upload it to a GitHub page of a Kodi dev, click after your message to upload kodi.log.
You could paste the contents of kodi.log to eg pastebin.com to share it on sites you can't upload logs.
You may upload your log and get the link via the Chef Wizard.

Import Save Data manually to a new build or fork, or copy logins manually
While Save Data > Export Save Data (pic) works fine to produce a zip file containing debrid, trakt, login, and xmls folders, Import Save Data doesn't import all your saved data.
After decompressing the SaveData.zip you can use a file manager or Kodi File manager to copy and paste those folders in the proper locations to have your logins working on new builds or forks.
For example, using Kodi File Manager, copy the contents of the xmls folder to .home > userdata deleting existing ones first.
Then using File Manager again, go to .home > userdata > addon_data > plugin.program.chef19, delete debrid, trakt, and login folders, and copy and paste the same ones from the decompressed SaveData.zip folder in the same plugin.program.chef19 folder.
Restart the build and your saved data will be restored.
If your wizard is damaged and you can't Export Save Data, you can do it manually like this:
https://www.cocoscope.com/watch?v=88208
This is how I copied my Logins from my Linux laptop to my Samsung Galaxy s5 mobile. You can use this to copy any file to your mobile.
Bear in mind that on the laptop the mobile Kodi folder had just an empty files folder inside, so I put the wizard Logins folders there.
You have to go to File Manager and Add source, use Root filesystem and click OK, name it .root.
On the left panel of File Manager go to .home > userdata > addon_data > plugin.program.chef19.
On the right -for my mobile- go to mnt > sdcard > Android > data > org.xbmc.kodi > files. This is where I copied Logins from the laptop.
Now open the same folders on both panels (eg debrid), long press on a file on the right, tap Select all, then long press it again and tap Copy. If you have favorites and advanced settings on the xmls folder, copy them to .home > userdata.
When you're finished, remember to restart the build, open the wizard and go to Save Data > Keep Debrid, Keep Tract, and Keep Login Info, and Recover All.
