I don't think that Kodi itself is the problem. It is if it comes with pre-loaded  add-ons, isn't that more the issue?

perhaps

You are correct

Kodi itself doesn't let you watch Pirate streams, just is a nice convenient media management center,

its the 3rd Party Addons that we all enjoy that is the problem, and the issue these days is with the fully loaded Kodi-box's that allow one access out the box to the pirate streams

 

if Kodi was the problem, then so would any internet browser also be a problem as you can watch it from there too,

Just want to check if anybody else is having issues with UK channels at the moment?

 

Tried FilmonTV and Mobdro and both are doing the same thing. Pick a channel and once it starts to stream all is good up until a few minuted in. Filmon just kicks you out to the channel menu and Mobdro just freezes...

 

Also battling with buffering on Exodus and Phoenix.

 

RedbullTV has it's moments but at least it adjusts  to suit available bandwidth.

 

Did a speed test on the media box and got a ping of under 20ms with a line speed down of around 10,5Mb/s and almost 1Mb/s up. Not sure what to do....

 

(Started visiting torrent sites again. At least we can watch a few episodes without having to double up on blood pressure meds.....)

Which add-on will be the best to get some Isle TT coverage or updates ?

 

If the schedule below is anything to go by, Mobdro as a standalone install or FilmonTV as a Kodi Add-on. As long as they don'y switch you off......

trying to load MetalKettle.co as a add-on so that i can watch the Giro?

 

What other add-on's is available.

 

Keen to get system ready for TdF... any ideas which Add-on's would carry the TDF.

 

And then, F1, Superbikes and MotoGP, maybe UCI Cross Country MTB?

 

PS running Kodi 17 on RassberryPi 3

So got MetalKettle installed via the Fusion repository... it gives me BT Eurosport which is streaming Giro at the moment.

 

Stupid question, how do I remote control this, don't really want to leave a KB and mouse attached if i can avoid it.

Filmon no longer free, you are able to watch for a couple of minutes then will stop http://www.newsincyprus.com/news/71842/filmon-ends-free-viewing

 

Try the IsraeLive addon for UK channels

I've given up on Sportsdevil, having to guess which stream to watch is beyond me. I loaded mobdro and have no problems just choosing the channel that has my stuff running. Quality is no quite HD sometimes.

Try using your TV remote, if your TV supports HDCP should work fine...

Within Sportsdevil go to sports tv and work way through the links, else live sports, and see what is playing at the time in one of the links.

 

Also look at the phoenix addon as well as goodfellas
