<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div></div><div>I know.... Kodi's Live TV section, IMHO, is bad compared to Myth. The EPG is almost impossible to read with Confluence. I know I can use another skin, but I'm use to Confluence throughout everywhere else and prefer it....everywhere except the EPG. Also, trying to have guests here (babysitters) use Kodi with Live TV is more complicated than Myth. A few clicks with Kodi and you are somewhere and confused (live background on main screen). With Myth, it's easy to get back to Live TV. </div><div><br></div><div>Until Kodi changes the skin to make the EPG guide easier to use, I'm going to continue to use Myth for the frontend too. There's also some other features that make Myth a bit nicer to use than Kodi. I know there was a discussion about Kodi vs Myth a few days ago and didn't really want to turn it back into the discussion again. I love Myth for Live TV, I love Kodi for my video library. </div></div><br></div></div>

You can just install kodi on the linux machine you are using for mythtv and then add a menu item to start kodi from mythtv. That way you'll never have to reboot. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">You can also add your library to the videos section on the mythtv backend. That way it'll be accessible via the mythtv frontend.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Regards,</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Andréas</div></div>
