Reply To: Grandma trying to figure out how to get Kodi to work

Hi Deb,

I don’t know what the “gen 3 needed for ES” means, but your Kodi 17.6 is the latest stable version, which is perfect to use.

I don’t recommend messing with “builds”. They usually try to load it up with so many add-ons and dependencies that they tend to break, as you found out. Instead, I recommend you only install the add-ons you want to use and configure them yourself (with the help of one of my tutorials)

Have you gone through my Ultimate Kodi Setup tutorial? It guides you through the setup from beginning to end.
