Prime Video recommendation?
1 project | /r/Addons4Kodi | 18 Jun 2022

I only know of one add-on for Amazon Prime, that's by sandmann79. It's not uncommon for multiple repos to host the same add-on. It's not easy to label a repo "reliable". TheMovieDb-Helper is a good example. It's in the "Official Kodi Repo" but I tell people not to use it because it's hardly ever updated. It's better to use the Jurialmunkey repo. If you have any concerns about a specific repo, you can always ask here.

I'm trying to set up a Kodi Addon, Browser Launcher, that will launch a Firefox browser from the Kodi side rather than the Batocera side. But when I'm digging through the filesystem, I can't find the location for Firefox.

For Amazon, there is also an addon with the same benefits, but I've found that this addon is not nearly up to the level of the Netflix addon. It is very slow to navigate the menus and using the search. Playback is perfect though.

Watch Jellyfin content on non-smart TV
1 project | /r/selfhosted | 5 May 2023

Kodi is a media client as it provides a UI for you to browse, search for and view media. I have it running on my Raspberry Pi as LibreELEC. It connects to the same media sources that Jellyfin uses via SFTP. They support the same scrappers and folder structures so they can share the same media sources. If you're not adamant about using Jellyfin on the Raspberry Pi, this could be an option.

thats not a Kodi issue... it is a Windows and hardware issue... if the only job of the pc is Kodi then use LibreELEC's Kodi... 1000 times better! https://libreelec.tv/
