step-by-step guide for the first configuration #21

Closed cap-blackbeard closed 1 year ago

cap-blackbeard commented 1 year ago

Hello Matt, is there a step-by-step guide for the first configuration of the container? Specifically I want to ask how can I add the media sources to the container? I copied the sources.xml file from my KODI installation and pasted it into the container. However, I don't get any data displayed in the web UI.

https://github.com/matthuisman/docker-kodi-headless/blob/master/docker-compose.yml has an example compose file you can use.

Otherwise, this kodi is the same as "Stock kodi" just without the gui.... so https://kodi.wiki/view/Main_Page is valid etc.

Cant help further than that sorry

Thank you very much! The doker-compose.yml helped me. The container is running.

I mounted the files to the host and added the volume to the container. I also edited the source-xml. Now I see the files in the browser of Chorus2-web-ui. But the database scan doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong?

you'll need to set content for sources most likely from another instance of Kodi pointing to the same sql database

Works. Thank you!
