<p>Tee76: </p> <hr /> <div>{{mininav|[[First time user]]}}<br /> <br /> <br /> {{cleanup}}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;section begin=&quot;intro&quot; /&gt;This page describes the basic controls that are used in most areas of Kodi, as well as the Kodi home screen. This page assumes you are using the default skin for Kodi, '''[[Estuary]]'''.&lt;section end=&quot;intro&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Home screen ==<br /> {{main|Add-on:Confluence/Settings}}<br /> [[File:XBMC home.jpg|center|700px]]<br /> <br /> The home screen in the default skin, as well as most other skins, show the user the major areas of Kodi, such as videos, music, pictures, etc. Menus can be laid out in various different ways, but in Confluence most options are in a horizontal menu.<br /> <br /> <br /> Pressing left or right on the main menu &quot;ribbon&quot; will highlight different main options, which then have additional more specific options that can be selected when the user presses down {{keypress|down}}. The main options are:<br /> <br /> * '''[[Videos]]''' - Shows the top level of all video areas, including file views, movie library, TV show library, music video library, playlists, and video related add-ons. Users can also use this to navigate to more '''[[video nodes|nodes]]''' in the library, showing movies or TV shows by year, genre, actor, or even custom created nodes for specific people, moods, etc.<br /> * '''[[videos|Movies]]''' - This is a short cut to the &quot;All movies, by title&quot; node in the video library.<br /> * '''[[videos|TV shows]]''' - This is a short cut to the &quot;All TV shows, by title&quot; node in the video library.<br /> * '''[[Music]]''' - This is the main music view, which can be toggled between a basic file mode or a meta-data rich &quot;library mode&quot; via the sidebar menu. Users can also find playlists and music/audio-related add-ons in this section. Like with videos, the library mode has '''[[audio nodes|nodes]]''' that show different listings and can be customized.<br /> * '''[[Pictures]]''' - Shows a basic file-based image viewer, as well as picture-related add-ons.<br /> * '''[[Add-ons|Programs]]''' - &quot;Programs&quot; is normally just a selection of &quot;program&quot;-type [[add-ons]], such as add-ons that control lights or show sports scores. However, some platforms such as Android will also list other installed programs, which can be launched from within Kodi.<br /> * '''[[Settings|System]]''' - All the system settings, system info, [[profile]] controls, and [[file manager]].<br /> <br /> {{note|Certain options, such as &quot;Movies&quot; and &quot;TV shows&quot; will only show up once files have been scanned into the library (see '''[[adding videos to the library]]'''). Even without a scanned in library, users can still use the &quot;Videos&quot; button to select and play videos using file-based navigation.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> In the [[Add-on:Confluence/Settings|Confluence settings]] different main menu options can also show add-on shortcuts. For example, video related buttons/tabs can be set up to show shortcuts to your most used video add-ons. Video, music, pictures, and &quot;programs&quot; can all have add-on shortcuts. <br /> <br /> <br /> Above the main menu ribbon is a search button, which searches for videos and music that have been added to their respective libraries. It does not currently search for add-on content.<br /> <br /> <br /> Below the man menu ribbon are two additional buttons and an '''[[RSS ticker]]''':<br /> * The &quot;Star&quot; button opens up the '''[[Favorites|Favorites menu]]'''.<br /> * The power button opens up the '''[[Shutdown menu]]'''<br /> <br /> <br /> The home screen also displays the current date and time, and can optionally show '''[[weather]]''' information, if set up.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> === RSS ticker ===<br /> {{main|RSS ticker}}<br /> {{#lst:RSS ticker|intro}}<br /> <br /> == Contextual menu ==<br /> The '''context menu''' gives you quick access to some functions that also can be accessed by the keyboard directly (e.g. ''Queue item''), while other functions (e.g. ''Change content'') are only accessible from the context menu.<br /> <br /> You can bring up the context menu either by:<br /> * right-clicking with the mouse.<br /> * pressing the {{keypress|C}} key .<br /> * pressing the {{button|guide}} button on a [[Remote controls#MCE Remote|MCE]] remote.<br /> <br /> Examples of the context menu:<br /> &lt;gallery widths=&quot;240&quot; heights=&quot;136&quot;&gt;<br /> File:Contextmenu1.png|The context menu in the ''Movie library''.<br /> File:Contextmenu2.png|The context menu in the [[Add-on:YouTube|YouTube]] add-on.<br /> File:Contextmenu3.png|The context menu in the ''Video file browser''.<br /> File:Contextmenu4.png|The context menu in the ''Favourites menu''.<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ;See below for specific explanations of the contextual menu on different menus and areas of Kodi:<br /> * '''[[Video navigation#Contextual menu|In the video library]]'''<br /> * '''[[Music library#Context Menu|In the music library]]'''<br /> * '''[[Favourites]]''', '''[[playlists]]''', the '''[[file manager]]''', and various '''[[add-ons]]''' have management and editing options in the contextual menu.<br /> <br /> == Sidebar menu ==<br /> <br /> [[File:EstuarySideBarMenu_small.gif|right]]<br /> [[File:Estuary-player-sidebar-video.jpg|210px|right]]<br /> <br /> '''Locating the Sidebar Menu'''<br /> <br /> You can bring up the sidebar menu either by:<br /> * bringing the mouse cursor to the left side.<br /> * pressing the {{keypress|left}} key, when browsing Files.<br /> * pressing the {{keypress|left}} key, when browsing the library views List, Big List, Thumbnail, Media info, Media info 2 and Media info 3.<br /> * pressing the {{keypress|up}} key, when browsing the library views Poster wrap and Fanart.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Available Options'''<br /> <br /> ;ViewType<br /> :Change current library view.<br /> <br /> ;Sort by<br /> :Select how the list of Movies/TV Shows/Episodes are sorted- eg Title, PlayCount etc<br /> <br /> ;Order<br /> :Once the ''Sort by'' is selected, do you want the order Ascending or Descending<br /> <br /> ;Filter<br /> :Allows you to filter your list on certain criteria- eg Director, Actor, Ratings, Tags etc<br /> <br /> ;All Videos / Watched / Unwatched<br /> :Global toggle that allows you to select what is shown in the list - All Videos, Watched or Unwatched videos only<br /> <br /> ;Update library<br /> :Scans the library for newly added Movies/TV Shows and Episodes<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Additional information about the sidebar menu's functions in different parts of Kodi can be seen on these pages:<br /> * '''[[Video navigation]]'''<br /> * '''[[Music navigation]]'''<br /> * '''[[Add-ons]]'''<br /> * '''[[PVR/Basics]]'''<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> == Profiles ==<br /> {{Main|Profiles}}<br /> {{#lst:Profiles|intro}}<br /> <br /> == Favourites ==<br /> {{main|Favourites}}<br /> {{#lst:Favourites|intro}}<br /> <br /> == Shutdown menu ==<br /> Pressing {{keypress|S}} on the keyboard, or by selecting the Shutdown icon in the lower left corner of the default Estuary skin the home screen brings up the shutdown menu.<br /> <br /> [[File:Estuary-power-menu.jpg|right|299px]]<br /> '''The options on this menu are from top to bottom:'''<br /> <br /> ;Exit<br /> :Exits Kodi to your operating system.<br /> ;Power off system<br /> :Powers down your system<br /> ;Custom Shutdown Timer<br /> :Kodi will shutdown your computer after you enter the countdown time.<br /> ;Suspend<br /> :Suspends your computer.<br /> ;Hibernate<br /> :Hibernates your computer.<br /> ;Reboot<br /> :Restarts your computer.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> == File manager ==<br /> {{main|File manager}}<br /> {{#lst:File manager|intro}}<br /> <br /> == On screen keyboard ==<br /> <br /> * Kodi can use USB keyboards or you can use the remote control-friendly on-screen-keyboard.<br /> <br /> * Kodi for iOS will use the native iOS on-screen-keyboard.
