/dev/null Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Kodi has been a frequent tangent in several recent TV related threads and the recent Amazon thread. And I've got a feeling will be a top of discussion on game day. Kodi can be difficult to maneuver at first and even after you've grasped the basics finding content can be challenging. So let's get a thread going to help folks get started and to share our favorite add-ons, repositories, and sources. Non-adult content only please.

Kirby Jackson Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Thanks for doing this!! I am only about a week in on it and find it extremely difficult to navigate. The first few days were great as I watched Wonder Woman, downloaded WWE on Demand and started catching up on Gotham. I've found it to not work very well the last few days. I don't know if that's how it always is or if I just don't know what I am doing (probably the latter). Any advice that can be provided to a beginner is greatly appreciated!!

stevestojan Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I consider myself very technologically savvy and this thing drove me so crazy trying to figure out how to get local channels or sports that I gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I just discovered you can get live stream networks and cable channels but haven't figure it out. A friend had sticks that you could do direct tv as part of kodi I consider myself very technologically savvy and this thing drove me so crazy trying to figure out how to get local channels or sports that I gave up.this is something I've not set up yet.

Kirby Jackson Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I'm using Exodus now. Everything was updated in the last week. It runs through Polar (at least I think that's how it works). I watched a YouTube video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a YouTube video. Exodus has been having issues since TVAddons went dark because they were sued by Dish/Sling There's supposed to be a 'replacement' to Exodus called Covenant maintained by the same development team. I haven't tried it yet.

section122 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 kodi is an add-on for the firestick that allows streaming of pretty much everything. movies, tv shows, sporting events etc. tvaddon not working explains why I can't get the new stick to work with kodi. I'll have to try the new ones mentioned here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) Can I ask, what is Kodi? Can I safely Google it w/hitting the Deep Web? Will I be arrested? No, not you. You're not allowed I went to Wiki to get a clue, but left even more confused..... Same here. I Googled and got "open source home theater"...I gave up. Open source home theatre sums it up pretty well Kodi started maybe 15 years or so as the XBox Media Centre. In your Googleing you may have run across the acronym XBMC Back in the day everybody downloaded movies, pictures, and music to their PCs and laptops. Getting the content from your PC or laptop to your TV could be a challange so Microsoft came up with the idea of a centralized media centre. First with the short lived Windows Media Centre then as part of their gaming platform on the original XBox and onto the XBox360. The idea being your media is shared from your Windows based computer onto your home network and made available to your TV via the XBox XBMC never really took off and the project was abandoned and Open Sourced. From there the Linux community took over and began the evolution from XBMC to Kodi. Media could be stored on the computer that XBMC (later renamed Kodi) was running on, shared on your local network, or even on a remote server somewhere. Media could then be played back on your big screen TV via the Kodi interface Then came The Cloud. Now you can watch TV on the internet. Go to your favorite TV network's website and get a live stream. Watch ESPN online. HBO. Porn sites. Video feeds everywhere Instead of hooking up a laptop to your TV and watching it thru a web browser, Kodi provides a platform that centralizes your local media, shared media, remote media, and streams from the cloud There are several official Kodi add ons to watch publicly available TV shows, movies, and live streams. Since Kodi is Open Source there are also a large number of "unofficial" add ons as well that tap into non-publicly available streams and media sources These unofficial addons are what has made Kodi so popular the last few years Kodi is available on Android, Apple IOS, Linux, Windows, Raspberry Pi, and I think the Mac fanboys have a port as well. Amazon FireTV/Firestick is a derivative of Android TV however it is not available on the Amazon app store. That said it is possible to install on FireTV/Firestick via a process known as sideloading. Unfortunately Kodi is not available on a Roku. Edited July 24, 2017 by /dev/null Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Why did I not get a telegraph about all this. I have been having issues with my phonograph. Could this be related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 A little while before they went dark, TVAddons, which I used to install kodi on my Firebox, was running script on the Kodi main screen page which said the format which many video's were in was something different than it used to be and you had to upgrade to Kodi V17.1 to support it. I have been too busy (lazy) to upgrade my system but that may be the issue some are having. I have noticed a few of Bob's links say the video is not playable. I still recommend the Bob channel. Until recently it always had a high success rate when trying to watch something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greybeard Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Since Kodi users are sometimes cord cutters, I thought this might be useful. Certainly is interesting. Shows Channels and signal strength in your area.

The Poojer Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 just installed Bob and did a search of Wilco and Rick and Morty and got no results for each search, found both on covenant, wilco had no streams but got to catch up on the new rick and morty season A little while before they went dark, TVAddons, which I used to install kodi on my Firebox, was running script on the Kodi main screen page which said the format which many video's were in was something different than it used to be and you had to upgrade to Kodi V17.1 to support it.

/dev/null Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 Preseason Game 1 Ran like a champ until about 7:30 then went dark. Stream came back sometime between 8:00 and 8:30. Not bad considering it's a stream of a preseason local broadcast rather than a regular season network feed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"project d" repository is empty and opening it via web browser set off my Antivirus Found a copy of the repository zip file. meh, Project D doesn't do live streaming but if you want a replay of previous games the Pro Bowl Another option is to run another app called Mobdro which finds live streams.

plenzmd1 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I bought a firestick with Kodi installed for my daughter to take to college, and been messing around with it for a few nights. Not sure I get Kodi at all. Tried Exodus and clicked Wonder Woman, but could not get that to work either. The Modbro app was cool as chit though..I like getting all the SkySport channels. I am going to order one for our house as well now, maybe by Christmas i can figure this Kodi thing out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
