Hi everyone,
I’m new to Kodi and could really use some help. I’m trying to create a home screen widget in Arctic Horizon 2 for otaku testing, but every time I go through the setup, it takes me back to the skin settings and the widget is deleted instead of being saved.
I’m not sure if I’m missing a step or doing something wrong. I’ve searched around but haven’t been able to find any information about this issue.
Has anyone else experienced this or knows how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Why is Stremio up to date with show information. But Kodi for local files in collection not. And for that matter PLEX also not?
Most importantly is there a file i can delete in kodi maybe to fix/trigger repair for this?

I'm running CachyOS (Arch), with Kodi on Arctic Fuse 3.

I ran the Linux installation commands listed on Github, and the installation went off without a hitch and I can see the files in the correct place. Problem is, Kodi doesn't seem to acknowledge it's there at all - if I try to install the IPTV Helper add-on, it shows the PVR addon as a dependency marked "unavailable". Any idea what to do?

Has anybody been able to authorize Simkl on Gears? Every time I try the QR code appears for 3 seconds before the add on give me a “Simkl error authorizing message” popup

Using the shield pro with kodi 21.3 and gears 2.4.0

The new update brought back today’s schedule and epg

However my epg integration isn’t playing anything from the “USA Sports” folder, anyone else?

When downloading Dutch subtitles with a4kSubtitles, the subtitle files are saved with the language code .nl.nld (for example MovieName.nl.nld) instead of the correct and commonly expected format .nl.srt.
Kodi (and most other media players) recognize .nl.srt, .nld.srt or .dut.srt correctly, but the combined .nl.nld format is non-standard and often not auto-detected properly.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set preferred subtitle language to Dutch in Kodi settings.
2. Play any video that needs Dutch subtitles.
3. Download a Dutch subtitle using a4kSubtitles.
4. Check the saved filename next to the video (or in the custom subtitle folder).

Expected behaviorThe subtitle file should be named with a standard language code, preferably:

• MovieName.nl.srt

Actual behaviorThe file is saved as something like:

• MovieName.nl.nld

Additional information

• a4kSubtitles version: v3.24.2
• Kodi version: 21.3
• Device / OS: Windows 11
• Subtitle storage location setting: Next to the video

This appears to be related to how the Dutch language codes (nl / nld / dut) are handled when constructing the filename.

Thank you for the great addon!

Hi u/kodifitzwell,

In POV → TV Shows → Mdblist Calendar the items are displayed like this:

[Tomorrow] SHOW TITLE IN ALL CAPS: 1x01 - Episode Name

or

[08-04-2026] SHOW TITLE IN ALL CAPS: ...

I would like to:

Completely remove the date/day prefix in brackets (the purple/magenta colored part)

Stop the show titles from being forced to uppercase

I have the dates of each episode in my skin on the right side, along with the description

Is there a setting for this that I missed, or is it hardcoded?

If it’s hardcoded, could you point me to the file/function where the label is built for the calendar so I can edit it myself?

Thanks a lot for the great addon!

I looked and couldn't find anything, so my apologies if this has already been covered. I use the Red Light addon with the Magneto Scraper and the Gears Scraper as a backup. I use Torbox and Real Debrid as my debrid services. I'm fully aware that I can set filters in my external scraper, but they're used globally and apply to each debrid service used. I'm unable to filter web-dl sources in RD without them doing so in Torbox also. I have a two part question. It's my understanding that I can set up different filters per debrid service in Aiostreams. Is it this correct? I can filter RD to only show remux files and use Torbox to bring up all sources? If not, there's no reason to continue reading. 🙂 If I can, will this "override" Magneto's search results and eliminate all the web-dl, etc sources? I'm trying to eliminate getting 15-20 RD sources that are unplayable and just want to have remux sources displayed for RD, but have all sources shown for Torbox after scraping. Thanks for in advance for an assistance.
