* When Mac OS X touches files that are saved on a non-Mac-formatted drive (HFS+) it will save metadata in what are often called AppleDouble files. They often show up looking like <code>._filename.ext</code> or <code>.DS_Store</code>. ''On a native Mac formatted drive (HFS+) the metadata is written in such a way that it does not create these files, which is why you don't see them there.'' | * When Mac OS X touches files that are saved on a non-Mac-formatted drive (HFS+) it will save metadata in what are often called AppleDouble files.

* Normally these files | * Normally, these files should not be visible to Kodi and they should not be scanned into the libraries. The only exception for this is if "Show hidden files" is turned on under {{highlight|bordered=yes| [[Settings/Appearance#File lists|Settings -> Appearance -> File lists -> "Show hidden files and directories"]] }} | ||
* You can prevent Mac OS X from creating these files on a network share by using a program such as [http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html TinkerTool] or by opening Terminal.app and running the following command: <pre>defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true</pre> | * You can prevent Mac OS X from creating these files on a network share by using a program such as [http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html TinkerTool] or by opening Terminal.app and running the following command: <pre>defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true</pre> | ||

* There are two main possibilities for an add-on to not install when you use "Install from zip". One is that it isn't in a proper zip format, the other is that the add-on is for an older version of Kodi that isn't compatible with the version you are using. | * There are two main possibilities for an add-on to not install when you use "Install from zip".

* Very commonly the Safari web browser is being used to download these add-ons, and by default will unzip the files leaving you with a folder that won't work with the "Install from zip" option. You can turn this feature off by going into Safari's preferences, under "General" and unchecking "Open 'safe' files after downloading". If you wish to keep this feature on, you should be able to find the original zip file in the Trash can. Just drag the file out and use it instead of the folder for "Install from zip". | * Very commonly the Safari web browser is being used to download these add-ons, and by default will unzip the files leaving you with a folder that won't work with the "Install from zip" option.

* Sometimes you need to build zip plugin from directory. Almost all ZIP programs on OSX create zip file, which is not compatible with KODI. If you want to create compatible plugin, you can use "zip" program from terminal, usage | |||
<pre>zip -r plugin.name.zip plugin.directory/</pre> or you can download [http://www.yellowmug.com/yemuzip/ YemuZip] and be sure you choose "Type: PC" while creating ZIP file. | |||

: Due to a lack of manpower for OS X devs, "rsxs" screensavers were dropped from Kodi for Mac OS X. "rsxs" screensavers are still supported on other platforms. See '''[http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=262990 here]''' for more info. | |||
