I'm going to install a fresh build, can someone recommend one that has sports mania etc integrated into it or one that runs really fast with the firestick? Big sams one doesn't look like it's been updated for ages.

54_and_counting Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Also club tv streams will be gone now simply because they were easier to spot and shut down, basically the stream contained the username of the account holder somewhere, so when its spotted as being used on kodi its shut down, channels are different as they still can't find out whos account the channel stream is from 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't know how to get rid though and obviously something for EPL games would be nice. Have put Modbro and now Terrarium on it which work well although nothing comes through in HD. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build was updated on 7th July, so I assume the links should be upto date. It's not too big so runs okay on firestick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boulderdomb Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 At the start of the year I decided it was time to start “cutting the cable” and move everything to kodi, my laptop was the first project so I could test addons and create my own “build/onboarding” checklist. Once my laptop was 99% perfect and I was using it more than my TiVo, nowtv and Netflix I decided it was time to install on a raspberry pi and have that in the living room alongside the above so that the mrs could get used to the interface of kodi - this went well after installing some codecs that didn’t come along with the pi.One of the biggest complaints I had from the mrs and any visitors was the lack of remote - who really wants to use a Bluetooth keyboard with touch pad when watching the tv? So I’ve bitten the bullet and I’m planning on swapping the pi for my nowtv box although I’m unsure how to go about this - do I really need to reinstall every add on and fine tune everything yet again? Or is there a more simple way like swapping out a xml file? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 3xPi3 in different rooms, all set up that way and all working with the TV remote when you switch to the CEDC enabled HDMI channel. Mrs uses it fine too. Saves you spending any more money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot, I'll give that a try. I done some googling and I've discovered the nowtv box no longer lets you enable developer mode so i'd be even more money either buying a firetv or android box. I'll look into the CEDC mode and let you know how I get on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Terrapin Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Ditched the android box and bought a firestick on Prime day for £30. Spent 20 minutes uploading Kodi and unlimited addons via a youtube video and it has been fantastic so far. Exodus for movies and Sportsdevil for live games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Keep reading about these subscription services on Kodi for sports, but are there any of these add-ons/builds (or whatever the lingo is) that provide decent streams of Sky Sports/BT Sport? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consistently reliable. consistently reliable is slightly exaggerating it mate, during season and big games it tends to fluctuate between quality the best thing out there is the sportsnation/mania paid subscription service, been near flawless even for big games etc, definitely worth the 26quid for 6 months 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
