Posted: 18:10 - 05 Sep 2019 Post subject: New KODI Player for TV |
|
|
Can anyone recommend a Kodi box for my TV? I've got an old Droidplayer MX2 Android box, but the firmware is too old to install Kodi more recent than V16 and no updates are available. I tried a generic MX2 update as a last resort and it bricked it. To be fair, it was only a dual core CPU and not up to decent HD films anyway.
Is it worth just getting an Amazon Fire stick and putting Kodi on that? My TV only has basic smart facilities, like iPlayer, Youtube and a crap browser.
I've noticed Ebay are quick to shut down anyone flogging Android boxes with decent Kodi builds already installed, so will need to pop a decent build on it myself. Is it really necessary to VPN the connection too? I've never bothered when Acestreaming footy. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

I can't be arxed anymore. I've binned the sky, got Netlflix and Prime Video, no more messing around with updates, searching forums.
It's neat, it works on all my devices and has language and audio options. (I'm a version original kind of person).
I get it when you are younger/skint , I used to be the same with copying games. |
How do you find Prime Video? I'm looking at it for The Expanse series 4 anyway, but not sure what's included. A lot of the box sets I like were on Fox, which you can get on Prime Video, but it's not clear whether this sort of thing is an additional service. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

Considering I got prime for the postage and delivery service I have started using the other services a lot. Video, OK it's probably not quite up to netflix but there is plenty on there for no extra charge.
It's a godsend when the grand kids are over as well.
I have joined the modern world and now have alexa playing stuff from Amazon prime music most of the day.
Oh yes, Amazon prime is streaming 20 premier matches this year for no extra charge so fcuk sky

Looking at it, it's 20 matches in December, but several on the same days to choose from on 3-5th and 26-27th December.
Still a bonus though.
I tend to use Ebay instead of Amazon, but with the free next day delivery, it might come in useful too. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

I tried Kodi and, while it's fine for the IT literate, nobody else could get on with it.
I went with Google Chromecast on the TV and a combination of Serviio (you could substitute Plex I think) and BubbleUPNP.
BubbleUPNP gives you an phone app that gives any media server a reasonable simple GUI and transcodes on the fly to the Chromecast whatever you throw at it.
But then I'm old skool: torrents and vpn ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Recently ditched Kodi for Plex.
Much better for cross device syncing, even though you have to pay for the Android App..

I think this answer might help you
1) if you are looking for the best player then go for Perfect Player it is one of the best player out there! Works on Kodi. firestick, android box and many more platform. step by step installation guide - https://firestickapps.org/perfect-player-on-firestick/
2)In my opinion You shoud get amazon firestick. being firestick user from last one year i can proudly say, i have never seen such a amazing sttreaming device. its work well on your normal smart tv. Just jailbreak your firestick and install some popular streaming apps and use VPN to unblock geo-restriction. You can use Pluto tv, Mobdro, Showbox, live net tv on your fire tv. |
