dbcooper Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) Kodi 20.1 on Windows 10 initial install: Kodi cannot see the Bigbox.exe. I ran the zip file from Launchbox folder. But while in Kodi, I cannot see Bigbox.exe in the launchbox folder, thus preventing me from adding it to the path. I used: However, when I'm on the desktop using the Window explorer I can see Bigbox.exe in the launchbox folder. I have tried a fresh install of Kodi and showing hidden files in Windows. How do make Bigbox.exe visible to Kodi 20.1? Thank you in advance! Edited March 12, 2023 by dbcooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Install from Zip on the Kodi wiki for how to. After which you run the addon from Kodi's Addons Menu and set the settings in addon's config to your liking while making sure LaunchBox's base directory location is set in Launchbox folder field.

dbcooper Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) This is the guide I followed. I installed from zip as directed. When I try to open LB I receive the following error, which requires me to add bigbox.exe to the path: However, afterwards (when I then try to add the Bigbox.exe file to the path) it is still not visible when I navigate to its location. Even though I can see the Bigbox.exe in my window explorer Edited March 12, 2023 by dbcooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I can see the Bigbox.exe in my window explorer All you have to do is select the LaunchBox Folder field in the addon's settings under General and browse to the LaunchBox base folder ie. C:\Users\SomeUser\LaunchBox\ then select ok. You do not need to add BigBox.exe to the LaunchBox Folder location field, the addon adds the BigBox.exe or LaunchBox.exe (depending on mode selected) to the folder specified in the addon's settings and check if the exe (of the mode selected) exists in the previously specified folder, if not the addon produces that error.

dbcooper Posted March 13, 2023 Author Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) So I had tried this on the initial install and was unsuccessful. Then I turned the machine off and went for a walk. After I returned, I turned the machine back on for another attempt and to tell you that you're wrong but... Now it works and I feel dumb! Which means that you were absolutely right lol Thank you @CoinTos! Edited March 13, 2023 by dbcooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
