Just got a copy and will try to put this on a new box I have that runs FTMC.

OK I will confirm that I installed this and its working! Pretty slick kens! Hats off to all of you guys that have spent time helping us. I am familiar with the GUI. The importing of the guide from the clients demonstrated many channels no in English. FTMC it took a little bit but its working its fast! I went into live TV channel manager and hid all the non English and sports, but I still see non English or hidden channels imported but its very complete. I was not using your quide until today. Its nice. I was using Potato TV on this same box! Thanks Again!

I think the quide pulling for channels that are actually not active in my channel manager may be a FTMC issue. It seems that KODI 17.6 does as expected but I have to check it.

OK been working off and on with it and I seem to need to adjust my cachmembuffer in network settings for Kodi. I say that but for now, I see it seems to play a couple minutes and just terminate playback, I can open it again. I tried a few channels. I will tinker with some settings to see if that helps. gotta do stuff to make money.

Kodi system settings/ PVR&liveTV/ Video (or Player)/ Acceleration - Turn off all accelerators.
FYI- The Addon has nothing to do with play out Quality.

If you're using Kodi 17+ then you have wrong settings in your advancedsettings.xml. <cachemembuffer> is changed to <memorysize>

Here's an example for you:

<advancedsettings>
<splash>false</splash>
<network>
<curlclienttimeout>10</curlclienttimeout> <!-- 60 -->
<curllowspeedtime>10</curllowspeedtime> <!-- 300 -->
</network>
<cache>
<buffermode>0</buffermode>
<memorysize>314572800</memorysize>
<readfactor>10</readfactor> <!-- 30 -->
</cache>
<videolibrary>
<cleanonupdate>true</cleanonupdate> <!-- Also clean library during library update -->
<importwatchedstate>true</importwatchedstate>
<importresumepoint>true</importresumepoint>
</videolibrary>
<loglevel>1</loglevel>
</advancedsettings>

edited to remove small step back as it has been replaced per the wiki

Thanks for that update, I didn't realize that the names of the tags have changed.

Looks like the old EZ Advanced settings add-on is useless for making the fast changes to these settings but works in the old FTMC. I had no idea.

I like hiding the splash, it lets me know it was actively being applied when Kodi opens.

I just activated the exact settings you provided and it is purring like a kitten.

Thanks expatter.

You're welcome! Keeping up with the changes in Kodi can be a challenge, lol. It's a good rule of thumb to check their site periodically and see what's shakin.

This advancedsettings is good for 1 GB of memory which from all indications is a good standard. You have to remember that for the amount of RAM you allocate, that you should have 3 times that amount free (available). I use this setting on most of my installs but I also have one that I double on a box that has 4 GB of RAM. When you get into Leia x64 then you utilize 4 or more GB if you have the specs for it. I have a test rig on an Alienware gaming box with 16 GB of RAM that I use every now and then. It's blazingly fast!
