That only applies if you using Raspbian OS

if you using one of the other options like i'm using Openelec, then is Kodi Built into an OS.

you switch it on it Boots straight to Kodi, the reason to do this is its makes the build more lighter, less resource intensive, and with the Raspberry pi you need all the Resources you can get, 

 

which is what most people use.

 

Openelec =  Open Embedded Linux Entertainment Center

 

 

its just a comprehensive build with the media front end packaged, it still running the Linux OS below it.

 

Might be 'lighter' in that all the other functionality / libs of a full-on Linux OS aren't there, but it wont make it any faster.

Never said it would be faster..

where the lightness comes in though is on Downloaded file trans-coding.. you need as much resources as possible for higher quality videos, so add a full OS lib plus Kodi on a Pi, especially the earlier versions... and expect issues.. that's where the Embedded Kodi comes into the fore..

Good morning all

 

I moved into my new apartment over the weekend and finally have a "stable" line. Currently running a 4mb VDSL uncapped line.

 

I managed to get KODI running from my laptop (this will have to suffice for now) and have the following add-on's:

1) SALTS

2) Youtube

3) Vimeo

4) SLAM! (this is a waste, just installed it by mistake)

 

SALTS allows me to watch most of the series and movies I'm looking for. However can you possibly suggest where to find the following content:

1) Sport: Cycling, Rugby, Cricket and extreme sports

2) Shows that would air on Discovery like "Forge and Fire".

 

My apologies for not running through the thread, I will read the whole thread over the holiday.

 

Regards

H

Just downloading Bluestacks to run Mobdro, do you then run KODI through Mobdro? Or is Mobdro an add-on for KODI?
