    Here is How to KILL the "Working..." Death Spin

    Here is How to KILL the "Working..." Death Spin.

    Here is a simple mod. to mouse.xml in KODI, so you can kill the " spinning wheel of death" (Working...),
    if you dont have a keyboard, and control Kodi with a Wheel Mouse.
    Copy and Past the following text, into a plain text editor. Save it to your Userdata/keymap directory and name it mouse.xml (save it as plain txt format).
    Now when you hit a channel that is not working, press down on your wheel (which is a middle button as well as a wheel control). This will send a Stop or X to Kodi, mimicking a keyboard press.
    Here is the text:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <!-- Button Ids: -->
    <!-- 0: left -->
    <!-- 1: right -->
    <!-- 2: middle -->
    <!-- 3/4/5/6: extra -->

    <keymap>
    <global>
    <mouse>
    <leftclick>leftclick</leftclick>
    <rightclick>rightclick</rightclick>
    <middleclick>Stop</middleclick>
    <doubleclick id="0">doubleclick</doubleclick>
    <longclick id="0">contextmenu</longclick>

    <wheeldown>wheeldown</wheeldown>
    <wheelup>wheelup</wheelup>
    <mousedrag>mousedrag</mousedrag>
    <mousemove>mousemove</mousemove>
    </mouse>
    </global>
    <SlideShow>
    <mouse>
    <leftclick>Pause</leftclick>
    <rightclick>PreviousMenu</rightclick>
    <wheelup>PreviousPicture</wheelup>
    <wheeldown>NextPicture</wheeldown>
    </mouse>
    </SlideShow>
    </keymap>
    **End of File - dont copy this line -----------------------------------------------------------

    FYI- here is the approx. location you need to copy mouse.xml depending on your platform.

    Android Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/keymap (see note)
    iOS /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi/userdata/keymap
    Linux ~/.kodi/userdata/keymap
    Mac /Users/<your_user_name>/Library/Application Support/Kodi/userdata/keymap
    OpenELEC /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymap
    Windows C:\users\*user directory*\APPDATA\kodi\userda ta\keymap
    Note* Android location
    Sometimes the exact path will differ from device to device. The Android userdata folder is usually inside of "sdcard" so the path might be /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/

    - On a tablet, you should be able to achieve the same thing by turning wifi off/on.

    - For an Android box w/ remote, install keymap editor program addon in Kodi and map an unused remote button to the Video/Player Control "Stop" function.

    (Go to Programs/Addons, and at the bottom of the list, select "Get more.." In the list that appears, select "Keymap Editor". Exit to the home screen, then select Programs/Keymap Editor).
    In keymapper - select Edit /Global/ Player controls - select Stop/ then select Edit, then you have five seconds to press any remote key you dont use so that keymap see's it,
    then go back/back then Save . Close and re-start Kodi.

    *If there is a problem, in Keymap Editor you can reset back to default.
