Tutorial Increase Number of Video Entries Genesis XBMC Kodi

Sometimes it can be a bit of an inconvenience in Genesis when you have to scroll through a list of videos only to get to the bottom of the list having not found what you were looking for and then selecting ‘Next Page’ for another page of 25 videos.

With this tip you can change the number of entries to 100 – or whatever number you choose – so you can just scroll through the list without having to wait for more entries to load on the next page.

First you need to find the path to the Genesis add-on folder

Windows:

C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\plugin.video.genesis

OS X:

~/Library/Application Support/Kodi/addons/plugin.video.genesis/

Once you have done this open the file called default.py in a text editor (make a backup of it first as we are going to edit it, if you go wrong you can just replace it with the backup).

With the file open do a search for class link.

Underneath class link you will see a lot of entries for imdb.com containing a query string. In that string you will see count=25.

Change all instances of 25 to 100 (or whatever number you want) and save the file. In the image below I have changed 25 to 100 just to give you an idea of where you are looking. Save the file.

Now when you go into Genesis you will have a list of 100 videos per page.

NOTE

Whenever Genesis updates the file we change will be reset so you will need to make the changes again – don’t worry it won’t be that often…hopefully.

If other users would like to add the path to the Genesis add-on on their device please feel free.
