Quote:To be honest, i would be happy if its possible that when you come back from the external player to Kodi and click Okay for Playback has ended, that it didn't mark anything on the video at all, then i can manually mark it watched if i feel the need to! But i have no idea if its possible to do this?!
I would think most users want it marked 'In progress' or 'Watched', completely the opposite what you'd prefer?
I don't know what "Okay for Playback has ended" is? I never see this.
If I stop a movie half way through and select 'Exit' (alt + f4 mapped to my remote exit button) I'm at Kodi GUI focused on the title.
If I notice it's marked 'Watched' or 'In progress', depending on your skin, and want to mark it 'Unwatched', I have keyboard 'W' button mapped to my remote and simply toggle it.
So, I quit PDVD, and press the 'W' button or do nothing at all and leave it defaulted at 'Watched'.
Quote:You mention you are using your own Windows based device? What kind of one is this? Im guessing you have one setup like i had my HTPC setup with the 3D MVC build. But the problem with my HTPC is that its about 6 years old, what would i need to upgrade in it to make it 4K compatible? Is it usually just the graphics card? Processor etc....?? I think that the GPU is probably built into the motherboard on this small device. I have to check.
As I already stated, I'm using a Windows 10 PC. I originally built this box 10 years or so ago and have upgraded nothing but the GPU along the way. Everything about it is outdated but I prefer the hardware I have as new hardware would gain me little and lose me quite a bit.
Silverstone Lascala SST-LC03 case. I have modified it heavily and managed to cram (10) 3.5" hard drives into it and an additional SSD with no heat problems and it's silent.
Full size motherboard Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 (rev. 2.0) with 11 sata ports and more PCIE lanes than I need.
Intel Xeon X5690 12 core processor with stock fan.
12GB of RAM.
Nvidia GTX 960 using hardware decoding.
The box is the same size as an AVR.
Quote:However, with your build what Kodi version are you using then? Because the default Kodi doesn't support everything right such as Passthrough Audio for Atmos/DTS:X and 3D ISO etc...
As I stated, I don't use the 3D MVC fork. It doesn't work for me after upgrading to 4k. So, I'm using regular Kodi Windows build, v.17 with PDVD as external player. Kodi does not support MVC Frame Packed 3D and why I/we use an external player that does support it. If the Kodi fork ever addresses the problems, I'll switch back to it and disregard the external player. Until then, it's my/our only choice. Kodi does support passthrough for every high bitrate audio such as Atmos and DTS:X. I use both of those and others. Again, I'm using Windows. Can't speak for other devices or operating systems though I know they have limitations.
