Kodi builds?

I have got a Pi3 coming this week (to replace my Pi2) and a new sd card, iam going to try OSMC from scratch and see what i make of it.

Cheers, Smar. I've just had a look at that on YouTube, and it doesn't look as good as some of the ones I've deleted.

I am just looking for simplicity this time. Ease of use with a simple no thrills interface and regular auto updates. Obviously all the best add-on repositorys will have to be added.

I don't understand it all that much, but previous ones I've used, I've installed once and everything's on there. I'd rather not have to do any add ons if I can help it.

I'm trying one called Eminence at the minute.

I only want a few kenbo, navi-x, exodus, Specto Fork maybe a couple of others. Hoping the minimalist approach will keep things running smooth and fast.

I have https://www.tvaddons.ag/ version on my Pi2 box, plenty of top add-ons in that package.

Do you need boxes and cards for kodi, thought you can download everything you need.

I only really want Exodus, Smar. I've been at it for hours now, and it's pissing me off.

I know I'm doing right, but it ain't fooking working!!!

ken. you are best installing kodi then just adding exodus mate. i will give a step by step guide if u want

Phoenix is another very good one hth

I've been following YouTube videos, and it's worked OK in the past. I'm getting the feeling I've fooked my box up?

I've installed areswizard through 'file manager' but when I click on the link, nothing happens. I expect it to add, then I go into 'programmes' and it's not there.

If you're there Billy, I've deleted cache and data. I presume that's like a blank canvas now?

Can you give me step by step and see if that works?

what are you running kodi on ken

MXQ pro 4k box.

is the version of kodi jarvis?

No idea.

Brill. It's downloading. Enabled now.

No.

That felt like it all went perfectly too.

Yes I have.

Thank you, mate.

if you go to add ons is exodus there

excellent

Any idea how you get a sypnosis of the films?

i saw col put that you was having problems on whats app group for PM but i was browing here on way out so thought it must be u too

have you got a remote that you use

He's a diamond, ain't he.

Remote control, not a keypad.

ok give me two mins just gotta bet a dog

Cool mate.

is it the remote with ok in the midle then 4 buttons in a square formation around that

Yes.

try highlighting a film then pressing teh bottom left of those does it bring up a drop down menu

Yes

good
is there one saying more information

Pressed that. It works. You're a fooking star. Thank you.

Good luck today. I might be able to get a bet on now!

be lucky ken

Cheers.

Well installing OSMC was simple enough, all went without a problem at all.

Not sure what the difference is to the original Kodi source code to be honest, looking into it a bit more i think it was just a selling point for their VERO-2 streaming box

Nice one mate.

I probably need to put some more on mine. I've only got Exodus (which I probably use 95% of the time) at the minute, and it seems a waste to have a Kodi Box without porn on demand!

Navi-x is already included with what you did yesterday kenbo, just select the other zip file

Select fusion
Select kodi-repos
Select english
Select repo.exodus.x.x.x.zip

You want repository.xbmchub-x.x.x.zip this time to install navi-x

I followed those steps. After repository.xbmchub-x.x.x.zip theses three options appear

addon.xml
fanart.jpg

I can't see Navi anywhere?

It is in Video add-ons

Select SYSTEM
Select Add-Ons
Select Install from zip file
Select fusion
Select kodi-repos
Select english
Select repository.xbmchub-x.x.x.zip

Wait for Add-on enabled notification
Select Install from repository
Select TVADDONS.ag Addon Repository
Select Video add-ons
Select Navi-X
Select Install
Wait for Add-on enabled notification

Navi-X is now installed and ready to use.

Cool. I'll have a go.

That's worked. Cheers, Smar. I'll have a look through that.

I think Navi-X is rubbish. It never works properly. Sportsmania is where its at for sports. OK, there is a fee, but it works out at a pound a week ffs. Also, the build they provide is awesome.

I've never found a sporting stream that I'd be happy watching.

Hi Billy,

Can you advise if the above process would work to put KODI on an Amazon Firestick? - if there's any difference it would be great if you could point them out -  cheers if you can advise, no worries if not

I am not bothered about watching any sports.

FM,

Kodi has to be sideloaded onto the firestick. It's pretty easy to do, although some parts can be fiddly. This guide is the correct way to do it without a PC and takes about 15 minutes.

You don't need any extra boxes. You can use any device that kodi runs on. It's just easier and quicker to buy boxes with the pirate addons that are being talked about in this thread pre-installed.

They made their own skin and added an appstore and some optimisations regarding drivers, ressources and whatnot In general, OSMC is a full fledged Debian Linux based operating system that simply autostarts into kodi (which is just a software).

On your raspberry pi 3 running osmc you can e.g also run a home webserver, a torrent client, a pyload downloader, an irc bouncer, your own cloud or DNS server, home backup server, NAS server etc. in the background....basically everything you could do with any Debian/Linux device.

reading this thread i feel like a five year old who's just stumbled into bletchley park

i dont know what language you are all talking but it seems like impressive stuff.

Really frustrating that Kenbo, done it a few times.

I've ended up on Preditah this time - very simple, gives me good sport - watched all of the PDC darts with no problems on Sky - and Exodus which is invaluable for movies.

hi mate i can sideload kodi and mobdro onto a firestick for you. dont waste any money on anyone doing it i will do it for free if you post if to me.

billy

the best by a mile to watch sports is mobdro forget kodi

There is a mobdro add-on for kodi, are you saying it isn't very good via kodi Billy ? I was thinking of installing it.

I've always found Navi-x shiit too. A lot of Yanks swear by it but it's terrible to navigate and only 1 in 10 links work. Craap.

SALTS and Exodus the two big ones. If you don't know already, instead of waiting for all the links to load and going through them all, highlight the film and keep your hand on the 'ok' button...this will then give you auto-play to save all that arsing about.

That Navi-x does like to crash a lot too.

Very kind, I'll have a go using the video that Treble kindly posted first - if I can't get it to work I will take you up on your kind offer - thanks very much everyone

Good tip, Ham about auto play. That saves a lot of fooking about.

Another tip, which you probably know already kenbo, Exodus removed the add to favourites option because of traders selling pre configured boxes. To get that back you sign up-to trakt.tv. Then you can use the add to watchlist which is the same as the old Exodus add to favourites really.

I didn't know that. TBH I've never adding anything to favourites before.

It's a must have if you are watching an entire series or two, otherwise you have to keep searching for the series title every-time you load Exudus

I have always searched for the series each time!

I'm learning every day though.

"Kodi Builds" ... sounds like Justin Bieber's backing dancer, or a californian p0rn star .

Trakt.tv account and a real debrid account are a must for exodus.
Also,as an earlier poster said, sportsmania is all you need sportswise.

Another tip, which i wish i had done last week BEFORE my Kingston memory card decided to fail   Make a back up while everything is working and setup just how you like it.

So i made a back-up now via kodi http://kodi.wiki/view/add-on:backup and then connected to my Raspberry Pi with a free program called WinSCP. It is very straight forward, connect with WinSCP, locate the folder you made the back-up to and drag n drop it to your pc.

Now anytime in the future i should be able to use the RESTORE feature of back-up and point it to my saved backup to get kodi setup just how i had it.
