What are you using for kodi

[Robti]

Hi all the daughter has asked me to get kodi for her but I am at a loss on what box/stick to go for.

So for cheapness I was thinking fire stick but would like to hear what your opinions are, only for addons

Thanks

A customer of mine demonstrated a fire stick with Wookie installed on it

Every channel thinkable is on there .............for free.

Even movies which aren't out yet
Streamed from the Chinese servers which don't abide any copyright laws
They copy everything don't they.

At least it's not giving Murdoc anything to add to his wealth

ok here is the full install method for kodi firestick.
First update the fire tv stick to the latest version.
Go to settings >about > check for updates and install.
go to settings and make sure both allow apps from unknown source and debugging is on.Also turn off collect data usage
Now you need to download an app called ES file explorer onto your stick.
Open ES and type in the following address in the search (browser) ...https://kodi.tv/download
It will open the kodi website and go to 16.1 jarvis.
click on the android > apk ARM or x86.
It will download kodi then click to install.
Once installed you may get an OBD error message when opened for the first time, but just close it and after a couple of attempts it will download and open.
Now to install wookie.
Go into kodi and highlight system. Under system there will be file manager...click on that.
Choose add source.
In the first column tyep in the following exactly.
http://wiz.wookiespmc.com then ok
in the name section type in wookie then ok.
press back until it goes back to system
Clcik on system and then scroll down to add ons, press enter
choose add from zip file ( enter)
choose wookie (enter)
click on succum to the wookie and wait until the screen shows installed . press close.
press back to main screen and head to videos section . under video will be video add ons ...click on this.
In red you will see wookie . click on this
a page will open with first option saying install wookie. You will have a few optional builds but the best is retro. highlight the build and press install ( to the right of it).
It will warn you about clean install and just press continue. it will download the package ( around 300MB) then install it. once installed to 100% it will need need to force close so the best way is to unplug the power lead from the stick.
once plugged back in and kodi is opened you will have the wookie installed. Wait a few minutes for it to update all the apps.
There are more apps under video addons
ENJOY

Lol made me giggle this

Firestick for us and no probs there. Occasional pauses in playback but think that's the wifi rather than the stick or Kodi.

We've had a cheap Quad Core box from Amazon for over a year now, excellent.. was about 50 quids no down to 40 or below.
Also my son just bought one from Gearbest @ £17 on offer even that works ok .

Install in on an old PC, I have an old PC as the media centre with KODI on it & it works perfick

I use a MX III 4K box. I Bought it about 18 months ago, and its never given me any problems.

I would recommend also buying a mini wireless keyboard as it saves a lot of faffing about when you want to input "Searches"

As an avid Kodi user (and have been since it was XBMC (XBox Media Centre and only available for hacked XBoxes) Please take a read of this before buying "Fully loaded" kodi boxes.

I'm sure some of you know what you are getting into when you get these and that's 'fine' (by me...) but not everyone does.
remember Kodi is free software, created by a community of people who largely don't get paid for their work (it's open source) but that also means for a project as popular as kodi, there's a nice easy avenue to "fork" the code and insert any amount of dodgyness into it, (not to mention that the fully loaded boxes will come with all plugins known to man installed and ready to go, even the ones of a very very adult nature, which are normally a little harder to install than just selecting from a list and clicking 'enable')

For my mind the only way to run kodi is to be in full control of it. i.e. put it on a known device (be it a windows/linux/mac computer, vanilla android stick/tablet/box or even a raspberry pi (my weapon of choice) and get the installers directly from https://kodi.tv/download/ or through a legit channel (unfortunately amazon and ebay pre-configured boxes don't usually count in this sense)

Now don't let my rant put you off this wonderful piece of software, just forewarned is forearmed...
