Kodi help please

Anybody please?

You should get it free, you need to download fusion for kodi as well.

Ok noted thank you

you need to install Phoenix for kodi

and then once inside Phoenix:
Valhalla > Live TV > LIVE GAMES

Anyone know if it's possible to cast Kodi to a TV using Google Chromecast?

As well as using Kodi I use MOBDRO to watch sports (has many other channels)
Sofaking, I would look on youtube, if it can be done i am sure it will be on youtube.
I found the youtube videos for setting up kodi very helpful (I new nowt when I first installed it and found them easy to follow)

Paul, your best bet is to install the wookie add on.  Then download their customised build, this will have all the apps you will ever need.  As for guaranteed HD streams of all sports, I use sportsmania.eu and pay £17 fro 3 months.  It pays for itself with one PPV boxing or UFC.  PM me if you need anything, I have been buidling these boxes for years now

why frig about when you can buy them already loaded on ebay for approx £50, i was going to get one myself but have since learnt that

they use an awful amount of data and are only really ok for someone with unlimited data.

And most ISPs are unlimited data

wow, I am unlimited, I'd do 10gb in a few hours and thats not even with Kodi

kelly, thank you for your input, very much appreciated. If I run into problems I will PM you. Thanks to all others as well.

  with this 4g dongle i can practically live on the computer for a month and still not use it all up. !!

  my brother has a chipped stick and hes pleased with the results.

Does anybody know if these sticks work if your broadband is slow. My download speed is only 6.8 mb!

From my research you need a minimum of 8mb or else it's likely to buffer. Kelly might be better informed though

Well thats b*ggered that then. I can't get fibre broadband here yet!

You'd probably need at least 15 MBPS for a decent uninterrupted stream.

Ok thanks I ll have to wait for my fix then.

You dont need fibre to have fast broadband. I've got speeds of around 30 with the normal overhead cables.

disagree, 2mb is fine for normal and 4mb for HD.  Most HD streams are actually 720p and 4mb is enough for this.  If you were streaming a 1080p stream then you would ideally need 8-10meg.

no you wouldn't

The on thing to remember is there are a load of variables but what I say above is ample.  If you are also on a dedicated sub for say sports streams then even more so.

never had a problem with sportsmania.eu  but as said i would suggest downloding a build, it can take weeks upon weeks to get your Kodi looking professional if you dont know what you are doing.  A lot of the builds are now stramlined and not bloated with stuff for a better experience.  If you dont like the buld change it to another

You can but fully loaded Firesticks on eBay, is this something to consider or would you give them a wide birth?

*buy

Once you have Kodi on your stick just go to youtube and you will find numerous easy to follow vids. I have one with Hyper TT build, and another with wookie (as mentioned above). You can always add other addons when you get used to what they can do and become a bit more familiar with them.

For footie I use operation robocop and get the prem league pass through that with every game. NJM soccer, NBC has HD streams and if you watch golf NBC Golf is superb. For tv series/movies stay away from Genesis as will be gone soon and loads of streams won't work.

Once kodi is on a stick adding a new build is a doddle, so if you bought a preloaded one even if a few things didn't work you could add wookie in a few mins.

You can also watch and listen to a lunatic whilst adding it:

Ok thanks Magic. I've already got a firestick but contemplating getting another and giving the first one to my son. Thanks very much for the advice

You will find some builds have others things that previous ones didn't, but you can still find and install the addons you want generally. Youtube has loads of info, get familiar with it and then try a few things, you can always go back and add the build again if you do something wrong or delete stuff you didn't want to.

Nobody needs to spend any money at all to use anything on kodi - the boxes etc are a complete and utter con and you will do your money. It may take 1 week or 6 months but eventually you will realise you've been conned. Just download kodi for free at the official site onto an old laptop if need be and away you go. Load 'phoenix' and 'exodus' - costs nowt and takes about 2 hours out of your day (if that). Alternatively take a look at something called 'wetek core' as that does the biz well and has good support.

Great tools to have but prepared to be forever chasing streams. Some sites/add-ons last for weeks, some for months and some for even years but none last forever.

Still it's free and better than watching on a pc or laptop.

No good for betting in-play though as the streams are frequently over 1-2 minutes behind.

A mate of mine has a firestick
  He cant get ATR on mobdro or Sportsdevil anymore
Any advice where he can get it. Cheers

I have MOBDRO  and ATR is still there( I have just looked), has "your mate" tried deleting the app and loading it again

Cheers onthehoy.Will tell him to give that a try

I have Kodi installed on my laptop and a friend of mine showed me Sky Sports working OK on it but I'm at a loss concerning basic navigation - can anyone tell me an idiotproof way to find the sports channels as well as ATR & RUK as I am literally useless.

The youtube tutorials are useless as when they navigate through their pages, there are different things appearing in the folders compared to what's appearing on my screen.

It's far from straightforward for me...I thought there might be a basic search option for the likes of ATR but I can't find it - help please

when i open Walhalla nothing appears..

Is it possible to watch sky sports or what ever the chelsea match is on via my laptop. I already installed kodi, and think I need to add an addon? If so what Haddon and from which heading? Videos? programmes?

A bit late to set up your Kodi for the Chelsea game but go here and have a read. Probably be more fun than Chelsea PSG anyway!

Ok thanks for the lead

you could still be setup in 10 mins Spykes, look at my link above to install wookie and it will bw down and on in 5 mins and then go to sports

Can anyone help? How can I locate the sports on Kodi?
There's a mound to search and I don't know where to look...I've already wasted ages trying to find the sports.

What build or apps do you have

KD - I don't know mate...all that I do know is that it's in working order as a mate showed me the sports playing.
All I'm trying to do is find out WHERE they can be located.

Turn kodi on. Click on 'video' then click on 'video add-ons' if you have any apps on it they'll be there. Click on one of them and they'll give you a choice of different programmes. Otherwise get your mate to walk you through it!

CJ - thanks a lot for that mate...your advice was more than helpful.
I've managed to get it working a bit, though for some reason I only have Sky Sports 1,2 & 3 - where can I get 4 & 5 from?

Just click out of the app you're in  (or add ons as they're know as) and try another.

still using sports devil to watch sport. most of the streams from the usual sites don't work but i can always find a working stream somewhere. is there a better add-on to use? cheers

navel gazer i never look for channels, i just go to 'live football' or 'now playing' and it will list all of the footie matches being streamed that day. you should be able to locate 4 and 5 somewhere tho if you keep looking

Thanks for all the tips everyone. What programme do people currently use for watching films? I see on Pheonix there is something called tmpt or something and that  looks  to have a few films including a few recently released films (2015).

Are there better alternatives?

Incidentally when I google it it suggests Genesis however someone on here argues against using that option.

have a look at "showbox" app, I use that for movies and tv progs. easy to use, just open the app and the movies are there to watch or download

Thanks onthehoy

Mac won't let me download showbox due to not knowing the developer

genesis is dead - called exodus now and slightly different.

spykes  - you have to tick (or untick) that you accept apps from non apple sources - can't remember where it is but google it. I'm not sure that would be needed in kodi though - i have kodi on my mac mini but don't use it on that much at all now.

So you are saying just over ride this function as I can trust them? Macbook suggested when I tried that I had a virus and should leave the page???

been trying for about 40mins to get on the forum!!!!
I know nowt about Macs so can't help, but I have been using Showbox(android app) for over a year with no problems(re viruses).
I am sure one of the forum IT experts will be on later to advise :-).

you may find useful info at the showboxappdownload.com website

I ll take a peek thanks again

Ah yes thats where I was trying to download from before when the pop up came up warning me!

On the subject of nosing around dodgy software sites. I just used AdwCleaner to rid my computer of a very annoying piece of malware that highlighted text and linked to adverts - Ads by Advertise.

I can't recommend AdwCleaner enough. Fantastic piece of kit.

Fantastic HD pic on Kodi tonight for Liverpool v Man Utd
(about 80-90% of our Sky Sports HD Box pic in quality - haven't got BT)
