When it comes to enjoying our multimedia content in the form of movies, series or music on the PC, we have many programs to choose from. For a long time one of the most popular and used around the globe is the Kodi multimedia center that has certain functions that you may not be aware of.
Here we refer to an open source project that has been with us for a good number of years and has not stopped improving. Previously known as XBMC, this is a software with huge market penetration and great acceptance by millions of users. That is precisely why its top managers do not stop launching updates and improvements for its program.
Kodi is software that allows us to play and manage all kinds of multimedia content. Among these we can highlight videos, audio files, television channels and much more. We also have a huge number of additional functions to get the most out of the software and our content. And not only that, since the application also has support for us to install additional plugins and thus increase its versatility and usefulness.
We will have the possibility of creating our own content libraries to access them, whether they are audio or video files. But of course, how could it be otherwise, these personal file libraries are constantly changing. The main reason for this is that we are constantly adding and removing content.
Hence the importance of keeping these libraries updated at all times and thus obtain a better user experience on Kodi. It is precisely in this type of task that we are going to help you with a simple add-on.
Keep your Kodi libraries always up to date
So that you can get a more approximate idea of ​​what we are talking about, say that we are going to make use of a complement that is in the repository itself that the multimedia center provides us. Therefore, to install it and add it to the program as such, all we have to do is go to Add-ons / Install from repository. Next, we position ourselves in the Program Add-ons section, where we only have to locate the complement called Library Auto Update.
In the new window that appears we will have the possibility to add the complement through the Install button. As you can imagine, once we have installed this add-on on Kodi, it is already in charge of automatically updating our content libraries. In addition, it includes some interesting additional functions that will help us customize this procedure.
For example, we will have the possibility of programming the time intervals between each of the updates thanks to the timer that it proposes. At the same time, we will have the possibility of establishing a specific route so that the content libraries are updated, and this will not be carried out if we are playing something at that moment. This way we avoid uncomfortable cuts while we are watching our favorite movies. In addition, it is a totally reliable and safe complement since, as we have told you before, it is part of the multimedia center’s own repository.
