    [01] General Settings


    Enabled

    Quote

    Enable the Personal Video Recorder (PVR) features in KODI. This requires that at least one PVR add-on is installed.


    Do not show 'connection lost' warnings

    Quote

    Hide the warning if KODI lost the connection to the backend (for example: if the backend service died)


    Synchronize channel groups with backends

    Quote

    Imports channel groups from the backend (if supported by the add-on and backend). Will delete user created groups if they're not found on the backends.


    Always use the channel order from the backend(s)

    Quote

    Sorts the channels by channel number on the server, but uses KODI's own numbering for channels.


    Use backend channels numbers (only works with 1 enabled PVR add-on)

    Quote

    Use numbering from the backend, instead of configuring them manually over KODI.


    Channel manager

    Quote

    Opens the channel manager, which allows modifying the channel order, channel name, icon, etc.


    Search for channels

    Quote

    Instruct the backend to search for channels (if supported by the add-on and backend)


    Reset the PVR database

    Quote

    Delete channel/epg database and reimport the data from backend afterwards


    [02] Menu/OSD


    Show channel information when switching channels


    Close channel OSD after switching channels

    Quote

    Automatically close the channel OSD after selecting a channel in that OSD.


    Folder with channel icons

    Quote

    Location where the tv logos ( http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=86047 ) are stored


    Scan for missing icons

    Quote

    Look for missing icons and link icons to channels so they appear in the "Live TV" channel section

    Quote

    Prevent EPG updates during playback

    Quote

    Do not import EPG data while playing TV, to minimise CPU usage.


    Do not store the EPG in the database

    Quote

    EPG data is stored in a local database by default, to speed up EPG importing when KODI is restarted. Enabling this option will prevent that.


    Do not show 'no information available' labels

    Quote

    Hides "no information available" labels when no EPG data could be retrieved for a channel.


    Reset the EPG database

    Quote

    Delete the EPG database in xbmc and reimport the data afterwards from the backend

    Quote

    Confirm channel switches by pressing OK
