Hi, where's the screenshot button gone?

Gone, but back in 2.05. In the meantime, open adbLink Console and paste the command:

Code:

adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/screenshot.png

Then pull the png file from /sdcard. Be aware that the screencap command is failing for some users running OS 5.x. In that case the png file created is zero bytes.

Can you explain how to use the ad hoc directory? Nothing I tried works even though I made the folders internally with Kodi.

To work with a directory not in the preset, {i.e. /sdcard/xml/} simply type /sdcard/xml/ into the ad hoc field, then use the push/pull/del buttons. The clear button clears out the field. If you created directories with Kodi, they may be under .kodi directory.

Looks like the llama options are gone. Will those be coming back or is that dead now?

In a less complainy vein, I got Kodi up and running in about 20 minutes with all my settings perfect using your app. Couldn't have been easier. Thanks so much!

Llama's been gone for many,many moons now. It does not work with OS 5x and the author no longer maintains it. Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad your setup went ok.

I just upgraded from a much older version and the first thing I noticed is that it BEEPs at me

Extremely annoying, how can I turn it off? I never, ever want a program to BEEP at me no matter what. It's doubly annoying when I have media playing.

(That my Fire TV also "clicks" all the time when using the remote is quite annoying as well. I don't see a setting to turn that off.)

adbLink does not contain any sound output functions. There are no built-in beeps or sounds.

Gotcha, sorry.

Indeed, this is a system error beep. I thought I had taken out all of those. I certainly hadn't gotten any such beeps in a loooong time but apparently the popup window call used here uses one not used by my other programs that I had missed.

Thanks.

When I move Kodi data to external HDD? Does that mean the Kodi data (cache, thumbnails, etc) will continue to be saved there? Or it is just moved there as sort of a backup?

No, this changes the live location of Kodi's data store. It's not a backup.

Just tried this, it looks really nice!

Just one question: since in Krypton the advancedsettings.xml cache settings have changed, how does one tell it what files to create/push?

In Krypton <cachemembuffersize> is renamed to <memorysize> and <readbufferfactor> is renamed to
<readfactor>. Additionally, cache settings now have their own tag <cache>, rather than being in
<network>.

adbLink 2.05 doesn't yet use these settings. 2.06 will allow you to choose between 16 and 17 for
advancedsettings.xml styles.

Ah, perfect! Thanks for letting us know

Hi, using this on a laptop Win10 with uhd screen, any way to change the settings so I can see all the info in the boxes?
As you can see its all squashed up!

This is an unfortunate side effect of high-dpi systems.

It's addressed in adbLink 2.06 (not released yet), but this workaround may help:

Create a system environment variable: QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1

On Windows 7,8, and 10 you can do this by pressing the windows icon and typing
"environment". Choose "Edit the system environment variables" (this works in both system or
user environment variables).

On the window that appears, click the "Environment Variables" button and then click
"New". Input QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR for the variable name, and 1 for the variable value.

If you created this variable in the user variables, you will have to log out, and log in
for this change to take effect.

If created in the system variables, you must restart the system.

Link for Adb states it's under maintenance. When do you expect to be back up?
