About Kodi

Kodi 19.0 (formerly XBMC Media Center) is a very powerful open source media player which is available for Windows, along with other operating systems. It is originally known as Xbox Media Center. The features that are offered in this package are numerous. This download is licensed as freeware for the Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) operating system/platform without restrictions. Kodi is available to all software users as a free download for Windows.

VidOn Server and VidOn Cloud, the best solution to manage all of your personal media, including Movies, TV Shows Photos and Music. XBMC is now known as 'Kodi'; its main purpose is to allow easy media broadcasting within the same Local Area Network. The Android client can be both a local server and local client. This means that you can broadcast videos or other media content from your device as well as receive these files from other devices on your network.

We tested the file kodi-19.0-Matrix-x86.exe with 23 antivirus programs and it turned out 100% clean. It's good practice to test any downloads from the Internet with trustworthy antivirus software.

Older versions of Windows often have trouble running modern software and thus Kodi may run into errors if you're running something like Windows XP. Conversely, much older software that hasn't been updated in years may run into errors while running on newer operating systems like Windows 10. You can always try running older programs in compatibility mode.

Officially supported operating systems include 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista.

The current version of Kodi is 19.0 and is the latest version since we last checked. This is the full offline installer setup file for PC. This site has hosted other versions of it in the past such as 18.9, 18.8, 18.7, 18.6 and 18.5. At the moment, only the latest version is available.

The program currently supports over 5 video formats including AVI, EVO, FLAC, H.264 and MOV.

Kodi supports over 4 common image formats including BLEND, MPO, NEF and PLY.

Introduction

This page explains how to install and configure the MediaPortal PVR client addon in XBMC. This addon uses XBMC's experimental PVR front-end capabilities to connect to the MediaPortal v1.1.x TV server as back-end. This manual focusses mainly on a single seat (Windows) installation where both the TVServer and XBMC are running on the same machine. However, the configuration settings for a multi-seat setup will be explained.

Note: this manual is unfinished. See also the old readme.txt document for more information.

Summary of the supported features:

• Live TV (digital, analog) with teletext
• Radio (including web streams)
• Electronic Program Guide (EPG)
• Recordings playback
• Scheduling of new recordings (called Timers in XBMC)
• Channel groups (Pre-Eden/11.0 only)

• Scheduling of new recordings for series. This requires a change in the XBMC PVR API.
• HDTV playback can be choppy on less powerfull hardware.

Preparations

This manual assumes that you already have installed the MediaPortal TVServer (v1.1.x) on your machine.

Download the following items:

• TVServerXBMC plugin for the MediaPortal TVServer.

Installation

TVServerXBMC plugin

The MediaPortal TV Server is written in C#, making it difficult for XBMC to control it directly. The MediaPortal PVR client depends on a special plugin at the TV Server side, called TVServerXBMC. The TVServerXBMC plugin for the TV Server provides a socket interface to XBMC to control the TV Server. Please read the 'readme.txt' file included in the TVServerXBMC rar files for more information.

• Copy the TVServerXBMC.dll to the plugins directory of your MediaPortal TVServer installation.
• Open the 'TV-Server Configuration' and enable the TVServerXBMC plugin under 'Plugins'. See screenshot:
  
• Restart the TV-Server: Press under 'Manual Control' the 'Stop Service' button, wait a few seconds and press then the 'Start Service' button (same button).

MediaPortal PVR client

Xbmc Media Server Download 32-bit

The MediaPortal PVR client is already installed under 'addonspvr.team-mediaportal.tvserver' when you are using one of my Windows XBMC-PVR builds. Best hard disc drive.

XMBC - MediaPortal PVR client addons

Two versions of this PVR client exist:

• MediaPortal: This is the PVR client for the MediaPortal v1.1.x TVServer.
  Supported OS: Windows, Linux, OSX?
  Uses XBMC's ffmpeg libraries for RTSP stream playback.
• MediaPortal TSReader: This is also a PVR client for the MediaPortal v1.1.x TVServer.
  Supported OS: Windows only
  Playback code based on MediaPortal's TSReader code. Allows direct playback from the TVServers timeshift buffer files (faster than RTSP) on a single seat setup (local running TV Server). It uses the Live555 library for RTSP stream playback (for a remote running TV server).

XBMC PVR configuration

• Start XBMC-PVR
• Go to 'System', 'Settings', 'Add-ons', 'Installed Add-ons', 'PVR clients' and select one of the two Mediaportal PVR clients.
  
• 'Enable' it
  
• 'Configure' it. The default settings are normally fine for a single seat setup. You will need to change the settings when your TVServer is running on a different machine.
  
• Go to 'System', 'Settings', 'TV'
  
• Enable the PVR support using the 'Enabled' check box. This will add also the 'Live TV' button to your XBMC home screen.
  

The configuration is finished now. If everything went right, you should be able to use the MediaPortal PVR addon. If not, see the Troubleshooting section for help.

Troubleshooting

General hints

• Enable debug logging in XBMC. 'System' -> 'System' -> 'Debugging' -> 'Enable debug logging'.
• Check the xbmc.log file for PVR related errors.
• Check the MediaPortal TV Server log files for errors (Open 'TV-Server Configuration' and click the 'Open Log directory' at the top of the window).
• Disable the TVServerXBMC plugin inside the TV Server configuration, restart the TV Server and use the debug version of the plugin: TVServerXBMC.exe. Check the console window of the debug version for possible error messages.

Addon cannot be loaded. Could not connect

• Check the configuration settings of the MediaPortal PVR addon. Is the hostname correct? (Default=localhost)
• Did you install and enable the TVServerXBMC plugin for the MediaPortal TV server?
• When your XBMC client and the MediaPortal TVServer are on a different machine, make sure that port 9596 (TVServerXBMC) is not blocked by your firewall.
• Make sure that the TV Server is already up and running before you start XBMC.

Live TV/Radio streaming fails

• RTSP streaming related (i.e. MediaPortal PVR addon (ffmpeg)): Open the 'TV Server Configuration', select 'Streaming Server' and change the 'IP address used by the server for RTSP streaming' from auto to the IP address of the right network adapter.
