What's the benefit of subscription streaming when you can get free stuff on Kodi?

 

Genuine question, not being sassy!

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Probably reliability. But I've never subscribed. Going to try sportsmania.eu next season.

 

Question: does sportsmania really only allow you to use it from one IP address? If I brought my tablet to a mates house, does that mean I couldn't use it?

[Lee909]

I subscribe,its cheap,i can use it at work without a issue and ive missed 10 minutes of a game in over 2 years

reliability.  You know it's going to work, and you don't have to scrabble around for streams. And the streams are generally better quality too.

one ip at a time - or at least thats the case for sportsebooks.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Ah, that's fine. Thanks.

They say one ip address at a time. I've watched a game on Kodi and one on my iPad at the same time. You would be able to use on your tablet in a mates as long as no-one else was using your login details elsewhere.

Uninstalled Kodi from my Amazon box, now trying to reinstall it through ES File Explorer. When I go into the Kodi Favourite I've added in there and try to download the relevant link (ARM under the Android section) I get nothing.

 

Have cleared the ES cache and even removed and re-installed ES itself, but nothing doing. Anyone have any ideas of how I can get Kodi back onto this thing, through ES or otherwise?

 

It's v16.1 "Jarvis" if that is relevant.

[Dr Nowt]

Scrap that, found a new guide which worked out. If anyone has a similar problem getting Kodi on an Amazon stick or box via the old route, this worked well for me:

Using ES, I was putting Kodi into my Google account, syncing it through the cloud on ES and it worked fine.

 

Best way for me has been using my laptop and the abdfire programme to connect to my Amazon box, pushing the programme through.

 

Edit - You've sorted it.

Appreciate the help anyway mate.

 

Just putting the Wookie build on mine now so will see how that one goes.

Bought my mum a firestick which arrived this morning and had the very same problem.

 

Its strange as I used ES explorer when I installed Kodi on mine but it wouldn't have it, so Googled an alternative way and done exactly the same.

[old skool tom]

It's gone shite now hasn't it,can't be arsed searching for ad dons all the time.

 

The gold rush is pretty much over for kodi me thinks

[old skool tom]

Isn't it almost impossible to become a member of the subscription sites?

 

Need something a lot more stable and concrete now because I'm missing half the game searching for streams.do you have to search on sub sites or is it a peice of piss and always on just one Chanel/link?

[Carvalho Diablo]

I'm baffled because between Phoenix, Vidtime, Bulldog Streams, NJM Soccer, and a host of others, I am sorted.

 

HD mostly, dogs bollocks usually.

[Dr Nowt]

Did you build your own selection of add-ons, Shep?

 

Or load a custom one?

When I installed Kodi Jarvis I only added what I regularly use, and a few back ups for the footy. Even removed some unnecessary options from the Cirrus Ex skin that I use.

 

I've used builds before that we're just too bulky and bloated, my system is pretty streamline now (i think) mate.

I had no problem at all.

[VladimirIlyich]

I tried a paid site for a month and it worked very well but the picture was so zoomed in I couldnt see the ball a lot of the time. The picture problem happened both on the telly and the laptop. Its a shame really.

[Sweeney287]

Sportsmania is amazing for the football.

 

£26 for 6 months. Not skipped a beat in a months, well worth it.

How would a person sign up to this?

[Sweeney287]

Sign up at https://sportsmania.eu/payments/signup

 

Once this has been done you can install sportsmania (cant remember which repo it is off the top of my head) and then enter the details you registered with on the website.

 

Game zones normally have the best streams.

[VladimirIlyich]

Thanks Sweeney. Will look into it.

[Captain Turdseye]

Would Sportsmania work on two separate fire sticks in the house at the same time off one subscription?

[Sweeney287]

I've tried on a firestick and a tablet and the first stream stopped working so I assume the same would happen.
