How can I display my IP address on the home screen, the same way the date and time is displayed?

You have to edit Home.xml and change line 122 to :

Code:
<label>$INFO[System.Date,,[COLOR grey]  |  [/COLOR]]$INFO[System.Time]$INFO[Network.IPAddress,[COLOR grey]  |  [/COLOR]]</label>

And the result :

Home.xml is in the skin.aeon.nox.5 folder in your appdata folder (Don't know where it is located on Mac).

Why not set a static IP address via DHCP reservation?

Thank you! I was searching for this for 2 days, now how we add the external ip, No I don't want to open an addon or an app to see if the vpn is connected or not, I want to see it in the main Kodi page.

Thank you again!

You're getting towards the boundaries of our VPN policy (wiki) there.

Please review what we do and do not support.

THANK YOU for posting this info....excellent customization. I have Openelec boxes scattered around my house and having the IP is always helpful to find them with Yatse.

On my system with the AEON skin, it's line 126 in the /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.aeon.nox.5/1080i/Home.xml file.

I had a heck of a time finding it in the hidden folder, so sharing the location for everyone.

A quick edit via SSH using VI to the following:

<label>$INFO[System.Date,[COLOR grey], | [/COLOR]]$INFO[System.Time]$INFO[Network.IPAddress,[COLOR grey] | [/COLOR]]</label>

works PERFECT! THANK YOU!

Anyone know how to make this edit to add the display of IP address in newer versions? I recently upgraded to Kodi 18.1 with Aeon.nox.silvio version 7.01.

Looking at the /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.aeon.nox.silvo/16x9/Home.xlm the file is set up very different.
