How to integrate Quasar with Kodi Library [Retired]

Quasar is capable of integrating with Kodi library. By enabling library integration Quasar will periodically check for new episodes of the shows in your library. It’s a great way to keep your favorite movies and TV shows organized on Kodi. In this tutorial we are going to integrate Quasar with the library using Kodi 17 Krypton or greater.

IMPORTANT: Quasar is retired and is not compatible with Kodi 19 and above. Please use Elementum.

First we must create a folder to store the files of the library. Create a folder somewhere on your hard drive, in this guide we’ll call our folder QuasarLibrary but you can use any name you want.

1. After creating the folder open Kodi, highlight the Add-ons tab, open the Context Menu on Quasar and select Settings. (long-press, right-click or use the C key to open the Context Menu).

2. Click on Library path and select the folder we just created. Press OK to continue.

Now restart Kodi. Quasar will automatically create 2 folders called Movies and Shows on the path specified earlier to store library files. These files are very small and they contain instructions for the addon, these are not media files.

We are going to use those 2 folders as media sources for our library, first we’ll do the TV Shows section.

3. Click the TV Shows tab. 

4. Select Add videos… 

5. Go to the folder created earlier, you’ll see the 2 new folders added by Quasar. Click on the Shows folder. 

6. Once inside the Shows folder press OK. 

7. Press OK to continue. 

8. Click on This directory contains and select TV Shows. Press OK to continue. 

9. You’ll be prompted to refresh the path, click Yes.

Repeat the process to enable the Movies section.

Adding items to the library using Quasar

Let’s add some items to the library, in this example we’ll be adding some TV Shows but the process is the same for movies.

10. Go to Quasar main menu and select TV Shows. 

11. Select Trending. 

12. Open the Context Menu on an item and select Add to Library. (Long-press, right-click or use the C key to open the Context Menu). 

13. Quasar will create the library files for each episode of the show, this can take a couple of minutes for shows with lots of episodes. You’ll see a notification when it’s done, press Yes to refresh the library.

14. Go back to the Home Screen and highlight the TV Shows tab to see an overview of your library. 

Quasar will periodically check for new episodes and update the library. To force a library update open the context menu on quasar and select Settings > Advanced > Update library.
