      Thanks
      I'll wait the next update
      But how about my problem to play my video files on a USB drive?
      Kodi seems to don't recognize or don't read my USB pen drive

      Edit: The USB drive can be open only for the First seconds after the plug it

        @DuckSalmon If you can open the USB drive and than you "loose" it, it is most likely a power issue.

            @DuckSalmon You have to check if your power supply has enough current (amperes) for everything that you have connected to the Pi. Does your usb hard drive has a sepparate power supply?

                How much amperes does your power supply have? And why are you using a bluetooth dongle when the Pi 3 has bluetooth builtin?

                  @Rascas I have the official 0.5 A raspberry power supply

                  My controller doesn't pair without it:(

                    @DuckSalmon The offiicial power supply has 2.5A. If yours have only 0.5, that's the problem.

                      I read input instead of output

                        If it really is the official power supply, that shouldn't be the problem. Normal Kodi doesn't have automount, only kodi-standalone. Either launch kodi-standalone in terminal or mount your drive manually and see if it works.
