Mezzmo for Kodi User Guide

The Mezzmo for Kodi Add-on lets you integrate Mezzmo server into Kodi, a free and open-source media player software application developed by the XBMC Foundation. Kodi is a very popular media player and media center application that plays videos, music and photos. Kodi runs on Android, Linux, Mac OS X, iOS, and Windows platforms, and can be downloaded from https://kodi.tv/download/.

By default, Kodi can connect to media servers like Mezzmo, but it only provides basic browsing & streaming features. By installing the Mezzmo for Kodi Add-on into your Kodi setup, you can take your media center theater experience to the next level.

The Mezzmo for Kodi Add-on provides the following benefits:

• Stream and play movies, TV shows, home movies, music and photos in Kodi from Mezzmo server.
• View full text metadata, posters and backdrops from Mezzmo server.
• Play and resume videos.
• Share resume points between other devices through the Mezzmo server.
• List files in the sort order from Mezzmo server.
• Default view modes for movies, TV shows and others.

1. In Windows Explorer, browse to your Mezzmo program folder (typically C:\Program Files\Conceiva\Mezzmo or C:\Program Files (x86)\Conceiva\Mezzmo).
2. Locate the Mezzmo for Kodi Add-on ZIP file in the KodiAddOn sub-folder of your Mezzmo program folder. The Add-on ZIP file is called plugin.video.mezzmo.zip.
3. Copy this file onto a USB flash drive and plug the USB flash drive into the device that Kodi is on.
4. In Kodi, go to Settings → Add-ons → Install from zip file.
   
   Tip: By default, Kodi will not let you install an Add-on from a ZIP file as it is considered an unknown source. You can change this default behaviour of Kodi by enabling Unknown sources in the Settings → System → Add-ons section of Kodi.
   
   
5. Select the plugin.video.mezzmo.zip file from your USB flash drive and click OK.
