This powerful player is the famous KODI player!

In order to verify the powerful performance of the KODI player, the author personally used six mainstream TV boxes to test one by one. In addition to being a bit more complicated in setup, KODI was perfect. If you are a 4K video enthusiast, if you want to play tricks on smart TVs, it is strongly recommended that you take the time to read this article carefully. Currently, the KODI player has a sofa butler that you can download and install in the sofa butler.


Is it already full of curiosity about KODI? Big fat insects just for you to enter the audio and video enthusiasts friends to introduce this has a very high reputation player. In addition to explaining KODI's installation, localization, and SMB LAN playback settings, this time will also talk about the advantages and disadvantages of several common home media center design solutions and the specific usage of KODI in the six mainstream brand television boxes. At the same time, I would also like to thank the sofa forum active user Xie Xiaobiao for his assistance in the preparation of this article.


KIDI installation and Chinese language settings

Among the sofa butlers are KODI TV version and KODI (XBMC). The former is the latest version but the default English language. The latter version is the old version but the default is Chinese language. Big fat insects recommend that you install the latest version of KODI and follow the steps below to change the language to Chinese.

1. Open the KODI just downloaded from the sofa butler and select SYSTEM Setting


2. Then open Appearance and select Fonts in Skin Options



3. In the Fonts press the confirmation button will pop up a dialog box, select Arial based in the exchange box



4. Then open International, select Language, press Enter


5. At this time, voice setting options will pop up. Select Qinese (Simple) and press OK.


6. Then will pop up a dialog box to download language packs, do not have to do anything in this interface, wait for 10 seconds


7. After ten seconds, after downloading the language pack KODI will automatically switch to the Chinese we are familiar with. At this step, we will complete the installation of KODI and Chinese settings.



KODI Plays Settings for NAS, Computer Hard Disks, and Router Hard Disks on LAN Through SMB Protocol

SMB is a network file sharing protocol that allows applications and end users to access file resources from a remote file server. In simple terms, the KODi player in your TV box can use the SMB protocol to play video, music, and other resources on a NAS, computer hard drive, or router hard drive in a router.



Because the number of NAS users is less than the number of the latter two solutions, and most NAS players are familiar with setting up SMBs for enthusiasts, the big fat insects focus on the settings of the latter two solutions.

Router hard disk

There are two ways to mount a hard disk on a router. For example, a millet hard disk router (a router that comes with a hard disk) is a type. A USB port on a mobile hard disk (or U disk) that connects to a router is another type. Generally, these two methods do not have to do anything. The settings can be identified by KODI. If you encounter a situation where the hard disk mounted on the router cannot be identified by the KODi in the LAN, you only need to enable the DHCP service in the router settings. That is, when the shared router is mounted with a hard disk, the router basically does not need to do any operation. Just set up a KIDO player.

When you share the router's mounted hard disk and share your computer's hard disk, KODI's settings are basically the same, so I'll explain the specific steps of KODI separately for everyone.


computer disc

When using the SMB protocol to access a shared computer hard disk in a LAN, it is generally necessary to fill in the user name and password of the computer to be accessed. To be safe, we must first create a new account for the computer. That is, when KODi in the TV box plays video in the hard disk of the computer through the SMB protocol, two things need to be done: creating a new user and setting a shared folder.

Add new computer user

1. Select My Computer, right-click and select Manage


2. In Computer Management, open Local Users and Groups, select Users


3. Right-click in the right margin to select a new user


4. Fill in the new user name and password and select the options "User cannot change password" and "Password never expires" below.



Set up a shared folder

1. Select the folder you want to share, right-click, select Properties, and select Share in the pop-up redemption box


2. After clicking Share, a new prompt will pop up. Click the small arrow on the right to find your new username.


3. Select the username and click Add




4. You can change the option to read/write. After editing, click on the bottom right of the share


5. Share successful, click Finish



How KODI Client Sets Up SMB

When your NAS, router, or computer is set up, you can turn on KODI.

1. Open the video and select the file


2. There will be a prompt for the first start, click confirm



3. Click to add video


4. Choose to browse


5. Select Windows Network (SMB). After clicking, the lower right corner will prompt to work. This is the device and directory that KODI supports SMB in the search LAN. You need to wait for a while.



6. Open the displayed WORKGROP (different devices may show different letters, please continue to open if you don't see your shared folder name)


7. Open CHONGZI (this is my computer computer name), will prompt me to enter the user name and password, I will just enter the user name dafeichong and enter the password, and choose to save the password, you can continue to operate. It needs to be emphasized here that if you are reading the hard disk mounted on the router remotely, you do not need to enter the user name and password in the entire project.



8. Open the folder "Video", because there are other folders in the "Video" folder, so it will be displayed, if all the files in your folder are video or music files will be displayed as empty. Because this step is to load the file directory instead of directly opening the video file, it doesn't matter if the folder is empty. Just click on the confirmation on the right side.



9. Click on the confirmation button



10. Click on the confirmation button

11. At this time, the "video" folder just loaded is displayed in our video file. We can open the 4K category and see the video file. At this point, you have successfully completed the KODI playback of the video in the LAN through the SMB protocol.


KODI video decoding, multi-track multi-subtitle switching, and TV box SMB playback

What about the support for KODI's SMB protocol broadcast on the mainstream TV boxes in the market today? Blu-ray original disk and 4K video can play, whether the LAN is playing when playing? In order to answer this question, Big Fatworm took home six mainstream model boxes from the sofa net to take the test. Today we do not talk about abstract performance parameters. We only talk about these boxes when they face some common movie videos. How did you perform (don't ask why I don't test smart TV. The TV is really too big).


test environment:

Lenovo Y480 notebook (four years ago old books, Windows 10 system, 5400 rpm hard drive, network cable connection router), Huawei glory PRo router (USB2.0), mobile hard disk (Seagate 7200 rpm, plug-in router USB), TV box ( Both the Android and Ali systems have the latest official KODI player downloaded from the sofa butler, Lynx Box M13, Xiaomi Box, Huawei M330, Kaibol H10, Taijie WE30, and Millet Box 3 Plus. There are two kinds of SMB sharing schemes: computer hard disks and routers mounting hard disks. Because the test results of the two solutions are the same, the solution of mounting hard disks by routers is used as an example to give you a detailed explanation. Look at the results first:


Test video:

Big fat insects did not specifically go to all kinds of bizarre video formats, and randomly selected several representative videos from previously downloaded movie videos for realistic practical testing purposes. The video is divided into 1080P and 4K (the maximum frame rate is 59 frames/second, the code rate is 50MB/second), the video formats are MP4, MTV, TS and M2TS, the audio is DTS, AC3 and AAC, and the subtitles are SRT, SSA (ASS) and SUB.

Video playback:

Before we talk about KODI, let's look at the TV box system's own player and common MX player. In the system's own player, the comparison of the millet box is famous, but in testing the millet box 3 enhanced version is this:


The MX's performance is this:



What about KODI? Big fat bug is very happy to tell you, So easy! Whether it is 1080P or 4K video (requires box hardware support), various frame rates, bit rates, and video, audio, and subtitle formats all take it all together.










transfer speed:

In fact, people familiar with the SMB protocol are aware that, in addition to requiring the player to be compatible with the video format, the transmission speed of the hardware device and the player's ability to cache and process data are equally important. After the actual test: cable> 5G WIFI> 2.4GWIFI; 2.4G WIFI performance of the box supporting both 5G and 2.4G WIFI, as well as 2.4G WIFI only supporting 2.4GWIFI box (this sentence is somewhat circumscribed)


Audio switching:

In particular, Blu-ray original discs often have multiple audio tracks, such as English, Cantonese, and Chinese; 5.1-channel and 7.1-channel audio. KODI's performance is also excellent in the face of multi-track video.


Subtitles switch:

As with audio tracks, sometimes we also face multiple subtitles. KODI not only recognizes subtitles in multiple formats, but also adjusts the position and timing of subtitles.



to sum up:

Big Fatty is half an audiophile and has a lot of emotions for KODI players. In order to introduce such a good player to more friends who are passionate about pursuing a high-quality viewing experience, we eventually wrote this Raiders. This KODI SMB playback setup, playback capability, and the actual use of mainstream boxes have been tested for a longer period of time. This is definitely a headache for impatient and non-audio enthusiasts. In order not to make this part of the friends even more painful, about the budget and advantages and disadvantages of different construction plans for home media centers, KODI's remote control, subtitle downloads, and posters, etc., Big Fatty will open new posts to explain them separately. Finally, make a summary of the key content of this article

1.KODI player is a world's best player, can face a wide variety of video formats, video encoding, audio formats, and caption formats; can be installed on smart TVs/boxes and Android phones and other systems The mobile phone, computer terminal; and supports touch operation, remote control operation and mouse operation.

2. The mainstream TV boxes in the market have a good performance in the local media (and SMB) playback capabilities. Most of the original Blu-ray videos have no problem (the 4K hard-solution box can also play 4K videos), but the performance A good box will be smoother and more stable in operation. For example, the Lynx Box M13 can play Blu-ray original discs and 4K videos smoothly. However, if you fast-forward and rewind during playback, the system will crash and return to the homepage. The millet box 3 enhanced version can not only play various formats of video smoothly under 5G WFI, but fast forward and backward operation is very stable and smooth.

3. When using the SMB protocol to play LAN video, a high-performance router is essential, otherwise it will directly affect high-rate video playback, resulting in long-term buffering and stalling. In addition, router USB2.0 interface can play 4K video playback

4. An ideal playback solution: a high-performance dual-band Gigabit router + a TV box with strong data processing capability and large memory + a hard disk connected to a router (or a computer connected via a network cable, NAS, etc.) Shared server
