kodi

I have Kodi installed on top of LibreElec on a Raspberry Pi. It works well, and I've installed the addons for Netflix and Prime. However, it's frustrating to use because the interface defaults are not great and changes to preferences are not persistent.

The default view is a list format. I'm sure some love that, but I prefer tiles. The default sort is nonsensical (I can't even tell what it is). I can set it to newest or oldest first.

But there is no global setting that I can find, so you need to set it for every interface. What's more, if you change these settings for an addon, they'll revert to the defaults the next time you use it.

Given the popularity of Kodi, I'm sure I'm just missing something. Can anyone give advice on how to set this up?

Thanks!
