I don't know how to install zip addons
I'm a newbie on kodi for Apple TV 4
 
Hi, I'm very new to all this but, thanks to the help and support I found here, I managed to install kodi on 2 ATV 4s and an iPad, plus my preferred add ons. Each was working well initially but, when I went back to the first 2 devices, kodi was blank (although the icon was still there). It is still working well on the iPad so I'm wondering, is it only possible to install and use kodi on one device at a time with this method? Advice much appreciated.
 
For SMB to work you need to run the SMBUp program on the Mac. Another alternative is to use NFS which is faster.

EDIT: As it turns out if you have OS X 10.11.2 installed on your Mac you don't need SMBUp installed on the Mac. Just enable the guest user account with sharing between guests. Now you can use SMB between the Apple TV 4 and the Mac.
 
Guys, I am trying to configure the Kodi (PVR IPTV Simple ) with a local path to the m3u file. The standard iOS path ( /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi/userdata/ ) does not work... I tried several ways, but no success. Please help to:
1. What is the right path ?
2. How can I add it - (when clicking on the m3u local path in the configuration, it lists me the predefined places, including the home profile folder. If I add some new place (special://home for example) in the Kodi file manager, it appeared in the file manager, but does not appear in the PVR IPTV Simple config duration...)

Thanks


Edit 1: I found the path - from the menu chose Home and then - /userdata/addon_data/plugin.program.{the name of the program}/dat/

How can I use Dropbox addon?
I never used that addon. Please could explain me about it?
TIA

You can install it on kodi addons and then upload the zip files you want on your dropbox (on computer) go to the dropbox add on kodi, first go to settings you have chose the option see all files, click on the file you want and hold the remote on it and chose download.
Then you just need to chose the option install from zip file.

Thank you. I'm gonna try. Do you know which addons are working? Genesis or others?
