Yeah it is great. There is also a TV guide you can use with it. Follow these instructions but on the addon settings choose IPTV Stalker.

Also have a look on Free Streams by Mikey1234, Sparkys Streams on Metal Kettle repo and Vdubt25 for live TV including sport.

Sparks streams is great but for some reason it never ever works when PL games are on

Best repo fro Laurel and Hardy

 

This is a genuine question

[Chairman Meow]

I had a Pi2 running as a little web server for a project I had going but I am done with that now and don't need that usage.

 

So I've wiped it and installed Kodi / XBMC from the latest Noobs distro.

 

I tried it on my old Pi but all of the things like Sports Devil gave me match streams as shit as the browser based ones. 

 

What do I do now?

 

Also is there a way to get it to see PS3 Media Server on my PC?

 

Edit: Got PS3 Media Server connected now.

If you want a fairly full featured quick set up you can install a custom build from Totalxbmc. You need to sign up on their forums first

 

http://www.totalxbmc.tv/newsite/

 

Then install Total installer

Then from there install a custom build. I stuck Silence ROM on a spare SD card on a Pi 2 this weekend and it's good. It is missing FTV and porn though. You can always add them later.

That post was a lot longer but Tapatalk ate it. The cunt.

Is there a guide for real basic stuff like how to find the film I was half way thru yesterday?

[Chairman Meow]

If I had a friend, lets call him escortrs for instance, and said friend wanted to be able to watch football at full screen size and in HD. 

 

What would said friend do in this hypothetical situation to add this to XBMC?

Allegedly I would imagine that link would work very effectively if he had just tried it now and found it worked.

Going to set this up tonight. BT Sport updated the android app so I can't cast to the TV any more (my mate gave me his login credentials). Fucking bastards.

[RobbieOR]

Vdub is gone off mine here. Still using Robinhood but it sometimes doesn't work.

 

Any other add ons to get the sports channels for this?

Staael(?) On phoenix is good for football, vdub is down at the moment

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Jesus fucking christ. Instant HD streams. Why didnt set this up sooner!

[Chairman Meow]

My friend informs me that he got an HD stream via vdubtv without any issues whatsoever. 

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

My cousins uncles friends dogs uterus said they got a super mega high quality stream off Phoenix

[Furmedge]

My friends stream on Phoenix and vdub was jumpy to fuck and kept buffering. He wants to know if it was just him as he has fibre optic and it may be his box.

 

Robbie Mustoe by the way.

Is the computer connected by wifi or ether net.

Questions:

 

Do you need a Pi to use all this lark?

 

What's a powerline adapter?

You don't need a Pi. A Pi 2 is about the best great, cheap option though and is what I use. A Fire TV Stick is cheaper again but Kodi runs a bit better on Linux than Android and you can plug hard drives full of downloaded stuff into a Pi and play them. You can also use something you may already have such as a desktop pc/laptop/tablet/phone.

 

You don't need to use powerline adapters so don't worry about them too much. It's a way of getting fast wired internet speeds to your device if wifi is an issue and you can't just plug it into your hub.

Amazon would prefer you to use their own inferior paid streaming services. It was back on Google Play last I saw or you can get it from here
