The Dude Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Anyone using Kodi on a firestick or chromecast? I'm currently waiting for my back ordered firestic (april 17th??? Jeez). Wondering if it's worth the hype or should I cancel the order.
Phil Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 One of the best decisions I made. Incredibly easy to operate. I can't recommend it highly enough. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk
Phil Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 As I understand it it's nearly impossible. Chromecast and Firestick are the platforms needed for it.
NYRangers92 Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 My ex had Kodi on her Roku TV. Maybe the box is different.
The Dude Posted March 22, 2017 Author Posted March 22, 2017 I think Roku makes a USB style stick that you can use it in. Not sure about the box style set up they made/make. Thanks for some answers. Would love to hear more..

Happy Grumpz Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 I've got Kodi running on a Nvidia Shield TV and it's ace.
phillyb Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 I need to step up my game here. I just bought a 21.5" monitor for my computer and that's what I've been watching games on, but I have this big ass RokuTV behind me that should get the games.
The Dude Posted March 23, 2017 Author Posted March 23, 2017 What are you curious about exactly? Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Ease of install, quality of content, if it's buggy, if it's going to be shut down soon, how good of a wifi signal should one have...
Phil Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 I can't speak to the install. My brother did it for me since he was doing like four or five of them at once. But I can tell you that installing the plug-ins themselves is incredibly easy. No bugs I've encountered, can't imagine it's going to be shutdown any time soon (though from time-to-time specific streams may get axed). I've had mine for well over a year with no issues there. In terms of WiFi, I'd imagine for peak quality (1080p), you'd want a strong one.
NYR2711 Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 I have Kodi, but recently, most of the new moves look like crap, they are shitty copies that you can barely watch. The past 3 moviesI tried watching on it, were unwatchable because the quality was poor. I have watched some great quality ones though in the past. My wife watches it more and has never had problem with the movies she watches. Its a free app, so its worth it, its a also just a pain in the ass to download. I used a video on YouTube to do the download, it was easier.

Wondering if it's worth the hype or should I cancel the order. You're in the Centereach area right? One of the barbers at the shop I go to in Ronkonkoma does firesticks and is really good with it. I know it isn't very hard to do it yourself but all the extra stuff he puts into it plus the customer service he offers for when apps start acting up is worth having someone who knows the ins and outs of this stuff. I just got a firestick to bring to him myself. Hoping to drastically cut down on my DirecTV bill.

Ahh man, do you go to the meathead one right next door, next to the headshop? There's plenty of YouTube videos out there that I've been told to check out. Lol I wouldn't trust a barber to load anything that will have any of my personal info/credit card info via Amazon, going onto it. I'm weird like that.
SaveByRichter35 Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 No I go to Mica's by the Ronkonkoma train station. He's a stand up guy, he builds all kinds of gaming consoles and simulators and stuff. Just giving you another option.
The Dude Posted April 11, 2017 Author Posted April 11, 2017 Do I really need a VPN? If so anyone have suggestions for a good free one? I have friends who have gotten letters from Disney. Lol
Morphinity 2.0 Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Free VPNs are not your friend. If a VPN is free, more often than not, they're making money off you in a less than savory way. But, to answer your question; yes, you need a VPN if you plan on using NHL GameCenter and plan on watching an "in market" game while being in that market.

Sometimes the feeds suck (wonder if thats not my connection which has been shaky lately) but $130/year beats my $180/month bill any day.
andysly5 Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 what Kodi build are you guys using? I find that I have to change builds every few weeks/months to keep up with the latest and greatest add-ons.
josh Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 17.3 Never upgraded, probably will to 17.5 in a week, after I read reviews.

My builder told us(his FB group) that 17.5 isn't much of an update, very minor tweaks. Said it is not a necessary change yet.
