My HTPC setup at home!
#45
TL : DR – I read the documentation and searched the forum!

As I have shown the hardware, the biggest customisation was Kodi itself, as there were certain things that I either I wanted something else to happen – or friends were getting lost around the GUI, so I changed a few behaviours using different options using different actions – such as Live TV opening channels, so I changed the behaviour to opening TV guide instead. https://kodi.wiki/view/Opening_Windows_and_Dialogs. I have used Estuary Plus as a base as I needed a bigger Guide Listings https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=307916 and used the Freeview/Free Sat logo pack that I found on the forum. https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=352988. I also renamed and reordered the menu items to suit my needs. https://kodi.wiki/view/Estuary_Modificat...Menu_Items

To differeniate the differnece between 3D/2D versions of movies, I have a template that I can add a 3D logo to a poster - just makes it easier navigating around.

On the Favourites/On-demand section, it heavily uses playlists now, and used the wiki as a starter, https://kodi.wiki/view/Smart_playlists, and used a mix of ‘Movie genre icons – Transparent’ from the official repo and all other logos that had a CC licence for the thumbnails. The ‘Jay-MTV’ is a link to the ‘party mode music video playlist’ which plays all my music videos randomly!

I do use ‘third party addons’ but I stick to one rule, as I nearly got caught out by using one then finding it was being plastered around less trustworthy sites, this rule is, if it’s not on the Kodi forum, it’s untrustworthy!

This is my list of the third party addons I use:

Netflix: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=329767, Amazon: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=349255, Disney +: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=353316, Curiosity Stream: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=345463, Udmey: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=334392
Server: Ubuntu Server 22TB HDD running SAMBA
Kodi: 4 Raspberry Pi 3 running Libreelec -  on the main PC - running Linux Mint
