PErhaps try clearing the cache on Kodi itself, you'll need the Maintenance tool for that.

Ha! just installed it this afternoon...

I also increase the cache settings using an xml file. It reduced the amount of buffering but also stopped the cache full problems when binge watching Breaking Bad. Have a read at this : http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_the_video_cache. I can attach my settings file if you want to try it.

You can also clear the cache inside the add ons, check in the settings section.

 

[rowlers]

Yeah, I've done that- didn't seem to make a lot of difference?
I'd appreciate a peak at your settings file

I'm having a Michael Mann season at home and looking to obtain a hard copy of The Insider. There are decent HD stream(s) on Salts but I still wouldn't mind owning it so if you can point me to a source I'd appreciate it, I've looked in the usual places but to no avail.

Do you use newsgroups, got an nzb you can try

 

[antdad]

I've never used them, what's good?

To be fair if you never used them its a bit of a faff, especially just for one thing.

Let me see if I can get hold of it for you

Cheers Bob, don't knock yourself out though I can still stream it anytime.

You can download streams via salts to save to usb or hdd.Just have a look in settings and allocate a more friendly folder.Couple of clicks

 

[antdad]

It took me 20 minutes to download kodi on my MacBook install a few addons and get the boxing on

My issue was with changing the download destination folder path (using SALT's) to a more convenient one because it kept defaulting to the application's root directory or Kodi's "special directory", I can't change it but now I know how to find it I just set up a shortcut.

3.2.2 Userdata folder and logs are hidden

• By default, Mac OS X 10.7 hides the user's Library folder, which is where Kodi's userdata folder and logs are stored. There are a few ways to get around this:
  • While in the Finder, click on the "Go" menu and hold down ⌥ Option, then select Library.
  • You can use programs such as TinkerTool to change the visibility of all or some hidden files/folders.
  • To permanently reveal the ~/Library folder, open up Terminal and run this command:
  chflags nohidden ~/Library
  Note: Anytime there is an OS X update (e.g. from version 10.7.3 to 10.7.4) you will have to run this command again as the folder will be hidden again.
