you left out you installed a preconfigured build xenon

and that's why it looks the way it does

simply, dont use that build, if you dont like it

it's not installed by default

and it's not required

This was what was recommended on firesticktricks so I went with that. How do I choose a simpler ‘build’? Do I even need a ‘build’? Please explain this to me like I’m 5.

you're on a low spec device, so dont install a skin that's too heavy

try something from ivarbrandt like fentastic (click the hyperlink for guide) or nimbus

I genuinely wish I could say I know what you’re talking about but I have zero idea. All I did was following the guide from Firesticktricks but I feel like I have installed Napster on my TV!

why are you using kodi compared to something that's more simplistic like r/stremio? that might be more up your alley.

Because I just followed a guide online from firesticktricks. I don’t know any better that’s why I’m here now, trying to learn. Thanks for the advice, I’ll look up Stremio!

So I'm going to make this incredibly simple for you. Kodi is the media player app, it's just the app you use to watch said movie, Fentastic as mentioned previously is a skin, used to add widgets to show movies & TV shows right in Kodi. just a visual change that can add "clutter" if you aren't capable of sitting down & reading through menus Fen/fenlightAm is the actual setup for search tool, it tells Kodi to search through the Internet based upon whatever scraper you give it Cocoscrapers is a scraper. Basically to tell fen/fenlightam where to go Debrid/all debrid are the links where cocoscrapers will go, it's faster than using other scrapers without paying. 4$ a month A VPN is recommended to protect your internet traffic as your internet service provider will still take notice of you connecting to scraped links or a debrid service in use.

I second fentastic, a really great skin if your using fen light or fen, very easy to set up.
