HOW-TO:Install Kodi for Mac OS X

2018-03-10T09:41:03Z

Memphiz: /* Gatekeeper */

{{mininav| [[Mac OS X]] }}
{{See also|Mac FAQ}}
Installing applications on Mac OS X is quite easy compared to many other platforms, allthough it is somewhat different from other platforms. Below we list the steps needed for basic installation an uninstallation.

__TOC__
== Download ==

First download Kodi. Official stable builds can be found here: '''http://kodi.tv/download/'''

{{warning|Don't install a [[development build]] unless you are willing to experience bugs, changes, breaks, sudden movements, fire, and other things that might "be bumpy".}} For [[development builds]] see:
* Nightly builds: http://mirrors.kodi.tv/nightlies/osx/
* Monthly builds (slightly more stable than Nightly builds): http://mirrors.kodi.tv/snapshots/osx/

== Un-package ==

Kodi is packaged as an [http://guides.macrumors.com/Disk_image disk image]. A disk image can be thought of as the virtual equivalent of a CD. The actual data in the disk image is contained within a single file which will look something like this:

[[File:Xbmc.dmg.jpg|500px|border]]

Safari and some other download apps will auto-mount the Kodi disk image, but you may have to do this yourself by double-clicking the file. Having done this, the the disk image will appear as new device in the Finder, as shown in the picture below:

== Install ==

Kodi is installed by drag-and-dropping it to the applications folder.

All you have to do is copy the program to your desired location (usually your Applications folder) and run it. Copying the program is performed simply by using drag and drop. Kodi makes it even easier by supplying a link to the Application folder, on which you can drop the Kodi bundle. An example of this is shown below:

[[File:Mac.drag_n_drop.jpg|500px|border]]

=== Gatekeeper ===
<section begin="Gatekeeper" />
If you have Mac OS X 10.8 or higher then you might get a message saying that Kodi "can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer". This is due to the OS X Gatekeeper feature that is designed to discourage users from downloading from random locations and possibly installing something bad. Assuming you've downloaded Kodi from http://kodi.tv/download/ then you have nothing to worry about, and we just need to bypass this warning:

* '''Recommended - ''' Right click (or command+click) the Kodi icon and select "open"
''or''
* '''Advanced - ''' Enable all application downloads
*# In OS X go to the Apple Menu -> System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General ->
*# Unlock the padlock at the bottom of the window, which will require a computer admin password
*# Where it says "Allow applications downloaded from:" select "Anywhere"
*# OS X will give you a scary warning that is a bit exaggerated. If you're not comfortable with this, use the "right click" method mentioned above.

On newer Mac OS versions where the „Anywhere“ option is not visible there is only the way via Terminal.app to disable Gatekeeper as follows:

*# Launch Terminal if you haven’t done so yet (/Applications/Utilities/)
*# issue the following command to turn off Gatekeeper: sudo spctl --master-disable
*# Hit return and enter the admin password as usually required by sudo, and Gatekeeper will instantly be disabled

In all cases OS X will still ask you if you want to open an "unsigned" application the first time it is opened, so new applications that are downloaded can't just start by themselves.
<section end="Gatekeeper" />

== Tidy up ==

After you have finished installing the program you can unmount the Kodi disk image

This can be done by using the eject icon next to to it in the Finder sidebar as if it were a CD. You can also drag the mounted disk icon to the the Trash, again as if it were a CD.

All files other than the bundle in the Applications folder can be simply discarded. Either place them in the Trash or back them up somewhere in case you wish to re-install the application in the future.

== Update ==
To update Kodi for Mac simply follow the normal install steps with the newer version. All your settings and files will be preserved as they are located in a different place in the userdata folder. Be sure to make a backup of the userdata folder when doing updates in case something goes wrong.

== Uninstall ==

The Kodi bundle contains the full application. This means that to uninstall it, you only have to drag it to the Trash.

However, Kodi creates '''[[userdata]]''' files. They are located in the Application Support folder within your user's Library folder:

{{Note|The "Library" folder for your user is hidden by default in Mac OS X. See '''[[Mac FAQ#Lion userdata|here]]''' for how to expose this folder if you don't already know how to.}}

* Macintosh HD/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/XBMC
or
* Macintosh HD/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/Kodi

This directory contains all your settings and your video & music database. If you want to remove all your Kodi settings, drag this folder to the Trash.

== Autostart Kodi ==

Go into System Preferences, select "accounts". Select "Login Items", at the bottom hit the plus button and then a drop down box allows you to select Kodi.

Alternatively, if you have the app open in your dock, you can right-click/click-and-hold the icon and choose "Open at Log-in"

After this, the application will start up automatically after you log in.

HOW-TO:Install Kodi for iOS

2016-09-18T12:15:12Z

Memphiz:

{{mininav| [[iOS]] }}
The current stable release for iOS is {{current version}}.
;Requirements:
{{#lst:Supported hardware|iDevices}}
* If you have any issues, be sure to read the [[iOS FAQ]]!

{{Kodi migration note}} <br />

__TOC__
{{-}}

== Installing from Cydia ==
{{warning|1=Kodi v16 has not been posted to the Team Kodi Cydia repo yet due to server issues. However, you can manually install by by clicking here on your iOS device and opening the resulting file in iFile: '''[{{download link|iOS}} download deb]''', using the instructions from '''[[#Development and custom builds|here]]'''.}}

<gallery widths=225px heights=338px>
File:cydia_.PNG|'''Step 1:''' Tap the Cydia icon on your homescreen.
File:repo_.PNG|'''Step 2:''' Sources -> Edit -> Add<br />'''Step 3:''' Type in {{highlight|<nowiki>http://mirrors.kodi.tv/apt/ios/</nowiki>}}
File:Install1_.PNG|'''Step 4:''' Tap on the teamKodi source.
File:Install2_.PNG|'''Step 5:''' Tap on 'All Packages' and then on 'Kodi-iOS'.
File:Install3_.PNG|'''Step 6:''' Tap install, then confirm.
File:Install4_.PNG|'''Step 7:''' Let it install, then exit Cydia. You should now have a new Kodi icon on your screen.
</gallery>

And you're done! You should now be running {{current version}} for iOS. See [[IOS FAQ#XBMC Version|here]] to verify your {{kodi}} version.

=== Updating ===
Updates for stable releases of {{kodi}} are handled by Cydia and will show up in the 'Changes' section when available. (After updating the sources)

=== Uninstalling ===
==== Uninstalling just XBMC/Kodi ====
<gallery widths=225px heights=338px>
File:cydia_.PNG|'''Step 1:''' Tap the Cydia icon on your homescreen.
File:Install1_.PNG|'''Step 2:''' Tap 'Installed' from the bottom of the Cydia menu and then tap Packages
File:KODIinlist_.PNG|'''Step 3:''' Find and tap {{kodi}} in the list of installed packages.
File:KODI-iOS_.PNG|'''Step 4:''' Tap on Modify in the top right and then choose Remove from the pop up menu. <br />'''Step 5:''' Let {{kodi}} uninstall and then press 'Return to Cydia'.
</gallery>

You're all done.

==== Removing settings ====
{{kodi}} will uninstall from your iDevice but will leave certain things ([[databases]] and everything in your [[userdata folder]]) behind to make it easier if you wanted to reinstall. To delete those:

;From the terminal, run:
<pre>rm -Rf /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/</pre>
<pre>rm -Rf /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi/</pre>

;Or

;From iFile:
Delete /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/

Delete /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi/

=== Converting deb into ipa ===

Before beginning the installation, you have to convert .deb file of Kodi into .ipa. That is because Cydia Impactor only accepts .ipa files and not .deb files. If you already know how to convert .deb into .ipa, you skip to the installation below.

*You will need to [http://www.7-zip.org/download.html/ Download 7-zip] and install it in your PC
*Download required kodi build from the links given above in your PC

'''<big>Follow the steps given below and you will be able to convert .deb file into .ipa file.</big>

Archive:Install Kodi on Apple TV 2

2016-03-07T06:10:50Z

Memphiz: /* Installing from NitoTV */

{{mininav| [[iOS]] | [[ATV2]] }}
{{atv2 farewell}}

The current stable release for iOS is {{current version}}.
;Requirements:
{{#lst:Supported hardware|ATV2}}
* If you have any issues, be sure to read the [[iOS FAQ]]!
{{-}}

{{Kodi migration note}}

== Installing from the command line ==
# Open up your [[iOS FAQ#SSH|terminal/ssh application]] and enter the following command to log in to your ATV2. Note, you need to replace "YOUR.ATV2.IP.ADDRESS" with the IP address of the Apple TV:
#: <pre>ssh root@YOUR.ATV2.IP.ADDRESS</pre>
#:: '''EXAMPLE:''' <code>ssh root@192.168.1.5</code>
# You will be asked for a password: ''default password is '''alpine'''''
# Continue to enter the following commands:
#: <pre>apt-get install wget</pre>
#: <pre>wget -O- <nowiki>http://apt.awkwardtv.org/awkwardtv.pub</nowiki> | apt-key add -</pre>
#: <pre>echo "deb <nowiki>http://apt.awkwardtv.org/ stable main" ></nowiki> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/awkwardtv.list</pre>
#: <pre>echo "deb <nowiki>http://mirrors.kodi.tv/apt/atv2 ./" ></nowiki> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.list</pre>
#: <pre>apt-get update</pre>
#: <pre>apt-get install org.xbmc.kodi-atv2</pre>
#: <pre>reboot</pre>
And you're done! You should now be running 14.2 for Apple TV 2 (last supported version for the platform). See [[IOS FAQ#XBMC Version|here]] to verify your Kodi version.

== Installing from NitoTV ==
{{notice|While this should work in theory, the official installation method for {{kodi}} is to use the command line instructions. If you have issues with any of the Nito installers then please try the command line instructions to see if that fixes the issue. Nito simply gives a GUI for those command line instructions, so it should work, but Team {{kodi}} has no control over those installers and cannot update them or see any errors from them, or anything like that.}}
;NitoTV on the Apple TV 2
# Scroll right to the NitoTV menu on the Apple TV and choose the first option "''Install Software''".
# Scroll down the list until you see "''Kodi-ATV2''" and click on that.
# From that menu press "''install''" and your Apple TV will install {{kodi}} and then do a '''SOFT''' reboot (no tethered boot required).
# {{kodi}} will now be in your Apple TV menu, scroll right to it, click and enjoy.
And you're done! You should now be running 14.2 Apple TV 2. See [[IOS FAQ#XBMC Version|here]] to verify your {{kodi}} version.
{{-}}

== Updating ==
Either update through NitoTV or issue the following commands to update:
# Open up your [[iOS FAQ#SSH|terminal/ssh application]] and enter the following command to log in to your ATV2:
#: <pre>ssh root@YOUR.ATV2.IP.ADDRESS</pre>
#:: '''EXAMPLE:''' <code>ssh root@192.168.1.5</code>
# You will be asked for a password: ''default password is '''alpine'''''
# Continue to enter the following commands:
#: <pre>apt-get update</pre>
#: <pre>apt-get install org.xbmc.kodi-atv2</pre>

{{note|To go back to a stable version of {{kodi}} you might need to first uninstall {{kodi}} and then use the normal install instructions, or manually download the stable release deb file and install using the dev build instructions.}}

=== Going from Kodi to XBMC ===
Due to the name change, the steps for downgrading between Kodi (starting at v14 and up) to XBMC (v13.2 and lower) requires slightly different steps:

# Open one of the [[#Development and custom builds|above URL locations]] in a web browser and copy the url of the version you wish to install.
#:: '''EXAMPLE:''' <code><nowiki>http://</nowiki>mirrors.kodi.tv/apt/atv2/deb/old/org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_12.2-0_iphoneos-arm'''.deb'''</code>
# Open up your [[iOS FAQ#What is SSH?|terminal/ssh application]] and enter the following command to log in to your ATV2:
#: <pre>ssh root@YOUR.ATV2.IP.ADDRESS</pre>
#:: '''EXAMPLE:''' <code>ssh root@192.168.1.5</code>
# You will be asked for a password: ''default password is '''alpine'''''
# Continue to enter the following commands:
#: <pre>rm -f *kodi*.deb</pre>
#: <pre>rm -f *xbmc*.deb</pre>
#: <pre>apt-get update</pre>
#: <pre>wget URL-FROM-STEP-ONE-HERE</pre>
#:: '''EXAMPLE:''' <code><nowiki>wget http://</nowiki>mirrors.kodi.tv/apt/atv2/deb/old/org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_12.2-0_iphoneos-arm'''.deb'''</code>
#: <pre>wget http://mirrors.kodi.tv/apt/atv2/deb/org.xbmc.xbmc-seatbeltunlock_1.0-5_iphoneos-arm.deb</pre>
#: <pre>dpkg -i *xbmc*.deb</pre>
#: <pre>rm *xbmc*.deb</pre>

See [[IOS FAQ#XBMC Version|here]] to verify your {{kodi}} version.

== Uninstalling ==
=== Uninstalling just {{kodi}} ===
SSH into your Apple TV (Using the same instructions from above to login). Then run:<br />
<pre> apt-get remove org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2</pre>
or
<pre> apt-get remove org.xbmc.kodi-atv2</pre>

It will ask you if you want to continue:
<pre>The following packages will be REMOVED:
org.xbmc.kodi-atv2
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 5 not upgraded.
After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?</pre>
Just enter "Y" to accept and continue.

=== Removing settings ===
{{kodi}} will uninstall from your Apple TV but will leave certain things ([[databases]] and everything in your [[userdata folder]]) behind to make it easier if you wanted to reinstall. To delete those also run:
<pre>rm -Rf /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC</pre>
<pre>rm -Rf /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi</pre>
This will then be completely clear and {{kodi}} will be removed.

=== Deleting {{kodi}} dependencies ===
{{kodi}} has three dependencies that it installs along with itself when you first install {{kodi}} (org.xbmc.xbmc-seatbeltunlock, gawk, bsdiff). After uninstalling {{kodi}} you can also uninstall these 3 dependencies by running this command:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash" enclose="div">
apt-get remove org.xbmc.xbmc-seatbeltunlock && apt-get remove gawk && apt-get remove bsdiff && apt-get remove org.xbmc.kodi-seatbeltunlock
</syntaxhighlight>

{{forum link2|1=Want to discuss or ask about what hardware is good for {{Kodi}}? Check out the [http://forum.kodi.tv/forumdisplay.php?fid=112 Hardware for Kodi subforum]}}
<section begin="intro" />{{Kodi}} needs a 3D capable GPU graphics hardware controller for all rendering. The required 3D GPU chips are common today in most modern computers, and even some set-top boxes. {{Kodi}} runs well on what (by Intel ATOM standards) are relatively underpowered OpenGL 1.3 (with GLSL support), OpenGL ES 2.0 or Direct3D (DirectX) 9.0 capable systems that are IA-32/x86, x86-64, or ARM CPU based.

When software decoding of a Full HD 1080p high-definition video is performed by the system CPU, a dual-core 2 GHz or better CPU is required in order to allow for perfectly smooth playback without dropping frames or giving playback a jerky appearance. {{Kodi}} can however offload most of the video decoding process onto GPU and VPU hardware that supports one of the following types of hardware-accelerated video decoding: Android StageFright and MediaCodec API, Intel's VAAPI, Nvidia's VDPAU, AMD's XvBA, Microsoft's DXVA, Apple's VDADecoder/VideoToolBox, or OpenMAX. By taking advantage of such hardware-accelerated video decoding, {{Kodi}} can run well on many inexpensive and low-power systems which contain a modern GPU and VPU.<section end="intro" />

= Supported hardware by OS =
== Android ==
{{see also|Android|Android hardware}}
<section begin="Android" />{{Notice|It is highly recommended for users to not make any purchases in anticipation of running {{Kodi}} on Android without first researching the device you want to buy. Before you do buy, make sure multiple people have verified that it works! <big><u>'''''If in doubt, do not buy that hardware!'''''</u></big>}}
* Due to the fractured nature of the Android operating system ecosystem and diversified hardware devices with poor usage of standard APIs by manufacturers, it makes it very hard to give exact minimum requirements, so instead the basic set of requirements includes:
** Android 4.4 operating-system or later is recommended, though Android 4.0 or later is supported by XBMC 14 (Gotham), however the newer Kodi 15 (Helix) and later will require at least Android 4.2 or later version of the operating-system.
** x86 (Intel) or NEON compatible ARM processor, (for example: Nvidia Tegra 3 and newer are fully supported by {{Kodi}}, while Tegra 2 and older Tegra probably will never be supported because its processor lacks NEON instruction set compatibility).
** Hardware decoding support in {{Kodi}} is likely a must for high definition video playback (720p or higher resolution). Do not expect {{Kodi}} to work properly on any device until someone knowledgeable have specifically already tested it and can confirm working hardware decoding support for that device. For more details on hardware video decoding support, see '''[[Android hardware]]'''.
* The main aim for the Android port of {{Kodi}} is to foremost target media-players/set-top-boxes/sticks that connect to a large screen television and uses a standard remote control as its main interface device, (that is the same market as for HTPC). However expect the initial tablet/phone/touch/mobile/etc support to eventually improve with time.<section end="Android" />

== iOS ==
{{see also|iOS}}
<section begin="iOS" />
=== ATV2 ===
<section begin="ATV2" />
* To '''[[HOW-TO:Install Kodi on Apple TV 2|Install Kodi on ATV2]]''' you must have a [[forum:99315|jailbroken]] [[Apple TV 2]] running [[w:IOS version history#Version history: Apple TV (2nd generation) onwards|versions 4.1 to 5.3]]
* Kodi only works on the second generation Apple TV (ATV2), which is the black version that outputs 720p. Kodi does not work on the newer third generation Apple TV (ATV3) that outputs 1080p (Full HD), because there is no jailbreak for the ATV3.<section end="ATV2" />

=== iDevices ===
<section begin=iDevices />*To '''[[HOW-TO:Install Kodi for iOS|install Kodi for iOS]]''' you must have a jailbroken [[w:iDevice|iDevice]] running iOS 4.0 through 8.1.2. (4.3 or higher recommended)
* For hardware: iPad (1,2,3,4), iPad Air, iPad Mini (1,2), iPhone (4, 4S, 5, 5c, 5S), iPod touch (4, 5).<section end=iDevices />

* If your GPU/VPU does not support hardware video decoding then you will require a fast modern processor is required to decode some 1080p videos encoded in H.264, VC-1/WMV9, HEVC/H.265 VP9, etc.. {{editor note|Hard to quantify this, but maybe we can get a rough benchmark score in here?}}

! RAM
|
* '''Recommended:''' 1GB or more in a HTPC media player appliance-like computer dedicated for {{Kodi}}, and 2GB or more in a computer for multipurpose use.
|-
! Graphics
|
Kodi will run on most graphics cards made within the last 10-years or so, though for good hardware video decoding support a little newer graphics cards can be required. This includes most cards from AMD/ATI, Intel, or NVIDIA which support OpenGL 2.0 or later.

! Video decoding
| For hardware video decoding, which may be necessary on low-performance CPUs to playback 1080p content, make sure your GPU or VPU supports either VAAPI, VDPAU, or OpenMAX.

{{note|Ubuntu 12.10 (or newer) users of ATI graphics cards are recommended to use a '''[[w:Unified Video Decoder#UVD enabled GPUs|UVD 2.2 or higher graphics card]]''' for proper hardware video decoding support.}}
|-
! Drive space
| The Kodi application generally only takes up between 100 to 200 MB of space, depending on how the binary is compiled. Technically speaking, if your hardware supports netbooting, you do not even require a internal storage for either the operating-system or for Kodi.
* '''Minimum:''' 4 to 8GB
* '''Recommended:''' 16GB or more
: Depending on how big your video library is. Most of the space required for Kodi comes from the images/artwork cache, which can be adjusted: [[HOW-TO:Reduce disk space usage]].

=== Embedded systems (ARM/MIPS-based hardware) ===
Other than OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics support being a must it is very hard to generalize {{Kodi}} hardware requirements for Linux-based operating-system distributions on ARM or MIPS based embedded systems. This is partially due to most of the work in this area still being early/on-going in development. For most ARM and MIPS-based devices, hardware video decoding support will also be needed for most high-definition videos, (and possibly even some standard-definition videos). Some newer and faster high-end ARM/MIPS chipset can decode some high-definition video using software video decoding, but those encoded with the latest video codecs.

'''Here are a few popular embedded hardware devices that are known to work with Kodi and Linux:'''

* '''[[Raspberry Pi]]''' (and Raspberry Pi 2) - Hardware video decoding support for H.264, MPEG-2, and VC-1. GUI is responsive on most light skins. Official supported by many third-party JeOS (Just enough Operating System) Linux distributions made for {{Kodi}} such as [[OpenELEC]], [[GeeXboX]], [[Xbian]], and [[OSMC]]
* '''[[Cubox-i]]''' - Official supported by [[OpenELEC]], [[GeeXboX]], [[Xbian]], and [[OSMC]]
* '''Pandaboard''' - [[GeeXboX]] is a good OS/Kodi distro for this platform. Limited support, as it is generally not a development target by Team Kodi. {{editor note|need feedback on performance. A little snippet, like the one above for the R-Pi, will do}}
* '''Various "Android" boxes''' - can run reinstalled with a Linux firmware and boot directly into Kodi. Hardware video decoding for most video codecs, GUI is very responsive on most skins. Running Linux and Kodi on these "Android boxes" will likely result in better performance and enhanced playback capabilities than running Kodi under Android.

{{mininav|[[Team XBMC]]{{l2|[[Development]]}}|[[:Category:Team XBMC specific notes]]<br /> }}

<br />

This page describes the "Jenkins" builder used by [[Team XBMC]] to build the variety of releases from Team XBMC

== Jenkins ==

[[File:Jenkins_start.jpg|left|300px| ]]
Jenkins is the successor of [[Buildbot]] which was harder to maintain and Jenkins also offers a wide variety of plugin that can be used to benefit further development and testing.

When going to http://jenkins.xbmc.org you are shown the current frontpage like shown below and you start at the ''dashboard'' giving you several build statistics and overview of current used builders.

You also see tabs for each platform that contain specific builders for each one of those.
The ''helpers'' contains like the name says helpers that can aid in doing quick builds like ''build all platforms'' or uploading of XBMC releases to our mirrors.
{{-}}

== Building ==

Building using Jenkins is only allowed by XBMC Team members. Team members that have XBMC git rights are allowed to use these builders.

=== Automated builds ===

Automated build are started at a specific time which can be configured at for each job.
At the moment we use the job '''XBMC-BuildAll''' which is triggered by a timer.
It starts the list of separate jobs listed below and by default will build the '''master''' branch from https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc
* XBMC-Android-ARM
* XBMC-IOS-ATV
* XBMC-OSX-32
* XBMC-OSX-64
* XBMC-WIN-32

Timed builds are considered '''nightly builds''' and are uploaded to http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/
The build time is set using cron and using the ''XBMC-BuildAll'' configure page.

== Starting manual build ==

To start a manual build to build a certain release or just for testing/compiling purpose you have two choices.

=== Specific platform ===

{| class="wikitable" border="1"
| [[File:Jenkins_platforms.jpg|left|300px| ]] || To build a specific platform you must click on the platform of choice you want.
|-
| [[File:Jenkins_singlebuild1.jpg|left|300px| ]] || After that you are presented with the following screen (some option may not be visible to you due to restrictions).
This gives an overview of the available option and the build history of the platform.

To start a build click on '''Build Now'' where you can provide the necessary information on what you want to build.
|-
| [[File:Jenkins_singlebuild2.jpg|left|300px| ]] || Here you can choose what type of release you want to build, branch/tag or commit, if you want to upload the finished build to the server http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/ and what git repository you want to build from (i.e. your own one).

Do note if you just want to do a compile run, please disable uploading the results as this will save in total time needed and won't upload unnecessary builds to our mirrors.
|}

Once you started building you can follow it's progress with the progress bars or click on the console to view the compiling progress.

=== Build all platforms ===

[[File:Jenkins_buildall1.jpg|left|300px| ]]
By clicking on the '''XBMC-BuildMulti-All''' job in the ''helper'' tab you get several options on the left side just like on a single platform build. Click on '''Start a new build'''.
This process is the same as the single builds for each platforms with the only change this will trigger each individual builder that is currently linked to this build job.
{{-}}

==Jenkins - Github Integration==
===Testing Pull Requests===

Before merging it is strongly advised to first compile the pull request before merging. You can trigger this by adding a comment on github containing the following sentence:
"jenkins build this please"
This sentence doesn't have to be a comment on it's own and can be combined with other text concerning that PR.

After the PR has been successfully build this will be add the the merge button that it is "safe to merge".

'''Note -''' This will only work for Team Kodi members who have github commit rights or Team Kodi members don't have commit rights but have been added to the "jenkins-access" team on github (the list of these members is at https://github.com/orgs/xbmc/teams/jenkins-access)

The following trigger phrases can be commented to pull requests by team members:<br />
<br />
* '''jenkins build this please''' - jenkins builds the PR and sets the PR status after that
* '''jenkins build and merge''' - jenkins builds the PR and if successfull merges it to master
* '''jenkins build addons please''' - jenkins builds the binary addons from a PR and sets the PR status after that
* '''jenkins build kore''' - jenkins builds the official kodi remote "Kore" and sets the PR status after that
* '''jenkins build kore and merge''' - jenkins builds the official kodi remote "Kore" and if successfull merges it to master
