Ohhh that's great news. I'm glad you solved the problem. Enjoy in skin.

Unfortunately, i just restarted Kodi and the problem has started again . Unable to play unscanned content. Something in the skin or one of its dependencies is causing the issue. I can open files with other skins just not this one.

It seems to work again when i uninstall and reinstall the skin.

...but now the skin looks a mess - white borders dont line up with widgets, widgets not evenly spaced out etc

Isnt inputstream adaptive used for streaming content? I have the issue when I try to open files from an external (local) HD.

Turn on log debug in Kodi. Try to open a movie from hdd and then upload the log and let's see.

Thanks. Just did a clean install of Kodi again. Everything is working as normal. Just using bare bone setup at the moment. Im using just minimum addons - Universal Movie Scraper, Metadata Editor etc. DailyMotion addon (just for test purposes). Ive turned on log debug. Going to try a process of elimination. I wonder if its a subtitle addon that is causing the problem? it was the last addon that i installed before the issue happened (a4ksubtitles from a zip file). Just about to scan media items to Kodi library. Sorry to be a pain in the ass.
