Kirby Jackson Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Knock on wood but I've been watching the whole WWE PPv without any issues
/dev/null Posted July 24, 2017 Author 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
Augie Posted July 24, 2017 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?
Greybeard Posted July 24, 2017 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.
The Poojer Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 didn't know that about TVAddons. 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. I've been using SALTS lately (Stream All the Sources): https://seo-michael.co.uk/how-to-install-salts-stream-all-the-sources-for-xbmc-kodi/ just came across this article, not sure how much of it is real and how much is fear mongering http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/kodi-addons-tvaddons-drapeaulex-users-spy-privacy-films-tv-watch-illegal-streaming-surveillance-a7857606.html

Which is a shame.
Greybeard Posted July 25, 2017 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. It was posted at slick deals in an antenna thread. http://www.tvfool.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29
The Poojer Posted August 3, 2017 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 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
/dev/null Posted August 11, 2017 Author Posted August 11, 2017 What did you use to watch it Pro Sport http://techbeasts.com/install-kodi-pro-sport-addon/
PromoTheRobot Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 Pro Sport http://techbeasts.com/install-kodi-pro-sport-addon/ I got as far as "add on repository." No sign of Pod God. Try ccloud Another dead end.
/dev/null Posted August 13, 2017 Author Posted August 13, 2017 I got as far as "add on repository." No sign of Pod God. Another dead end. ProSport and ccloud both depend on podgod. If podgod has been removed from Smash it's possible podgod went dark, which would be a bummer You could try checking SuperRepo, they might still have it
The Poojer Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 I found pro sports on super repo. Thanks ProSport and ccloud both depend on podgod. If podgod has been removed from Smash it's possible podgod went dark, which would be a bummer You could try checking SuperRepo, they might still have it
boyst Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) podgod is project d now how do you get preseason games live? Edited August 17, 2017 by Boyst62
/dev/null Posted August 17, 2017 Author Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) podgod is project d now how do you get preseason games live? "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. Lately their CBS and ABC streams have been coming from Buffalo Edited August 18, 2017 by /dev/null
outsidethebox Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) Two bills drive will be a lot less crowded after big brother lays the nightstick of law on your pirate ass's. Lol I keed , I keed Edited August 22, 2017 by westside
plenzmd1 Posted August 22, 2017 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
