Hi Guys, Just setup my new RPi 2 HTPC running openelec/Kodi (latest version) and I've been able to get everything working except for one thing that's driving me nuts.

Is there a way to view the size of a file before I stream it?
Kodi tells me how long the file runs for but not how big it is. I find this has an adverse effect on my monthly download limit.
Hopefully the solution is there and I simply can;t see it.

Many thanks.

Probably down to whatever add-on you're using and whatever metadata is available from the website the add-on is streaming from. Given the nature of streams, it's often not possible to determine the size of the underlying file unless this is provided as metadata.

Also, this question isn't RPi specific, moving to OS Independent.

OK cheers. So not doable then?
