Ok, so using Achillespunk’s Bingie Mod. Gives you the netflix look, but without the system load of bingie titan. Also still supported.
Once Kodi was up and running and had inhaled all my suitably named symlinks and been skinned, then I started with custom “Hubs”. We have Movies and Shows by default. I’ve added TV, which includes IPTV streams from all the free to air aussie channels, plus SBS, iView, and AFL/ Cricket for His Lordship. There is also another hub for Documentaries.
Then came the hard work. Filtering the IPV channels so they displayed in their own hub in a sensical manner and you could navigate them freely. Submenu shortcuts to commonly used things. Set the spotlight to rage because fuckit, why not. THEN I had to customise the documentaries one so it showed both movies and the tv shows but only from the documentary path. Then I worked out how to get the “Continue watching” “Recommended for you” “recently added,” “Spotlight” fancy pants displays going as well including both movies AND shows. THEN I had to make sure the documentaries were all excluded from the normal TV / Movie sections.
This I have done.
I also installed Flirc because we use a couple. They’re awesome.
This is the base build. I’ve been playing with that arseload of embedded PCs I got for free, so built a master running on Mint (I did give libreelec a burl, but I don’t like no underlying OS shell), wrote a script so you can change the username and system name and I’m just cloning the drives. One for the brewery that His Lordship can customise further with his podcasts and music, one for the bedroom that will pretty much be as is, and then I need to clone to another SSD for the full blown PC in the loungeroom and test migrating my RetroArch setup.
