Search isn't working on my firestick but everything else is. What I've noticed about the firestick is sometimes you need to just pull up Kodi on it and let it do it's updates without trying to go into anything. So basically, just let it sit there for 15 min. Then reboot and go back in. Clear cache and purge packages, etc. once you get back in. Not a lot of processing power in that thing so sometimes you need to let it sit and update on it's own without messing with it too much.
|
Is it working for anyone else?
|
Working fine for me on multiple platforms.

I guess it's just the luck of the draw. |
yeah...as stated before exodus s/be fixed by the weekend.
I had a big problem today. somehow I really screwed up Kodi. so I went to re-install (I'm running 15.2...was afraid to try 16.0 as I can't get a clear answer as to whether it is stable or not). anyways....when I went to re-install...it wouldn't let me because I didn't have enough space. I was like WTF! what is using all my space. found the answer....freaking thumbnails dude! about 80% of my space had been taken up with movie thumbnails!! I downloaded Raw Maintenance and followed the steps in the video below and SPLADDOW!! got 80% of my space back...reinstalled and I'm chilling like a villain! watching Legend right now on Exodus in 1080 (yeah my search doesnt work either...but you can still watch shit). I'll tell you what...there is NO ****ING WAY I could watch this movie without subtitles! damn man. nice accent. thanks to subtitles so far this movie ROCKS. and the diff between the brothers is astounding....Hardy is jamming it out. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/L_7kK5rI9N0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |

Raw maintenance is great. People think it breaks Kodi because after they run it, their thumbnails are gone. Ummm, yeah that is the point. Kodi will simply redownload the ones you need next restart. |
so...about Exodus...a friend at work says his is all good now. well mine isn't. search still doesn't work. I click on "movies" then click on "in theaters" and I get nothing.
I have tried clearing cache and even went to addon installer and reinstalled Exodus. still doesn't work right. anyone else having issues....or know how I can fix this?? |
Quote:
The new version of Exodus 1.1 should have this resolved. It was released within the last 2 days. So check and make sure you're running the latest version of Exodus. If not, go to Addon Installer and reinstall it again. It's supposed to update automatically, but reinstalling it will apply the latest version for sure. |
Mine is working again.
|
Mine updated this AM. However, if I click on anything, it picks up the stream and stops dead. Black screen. Or, it plays the studio intro on a movie (in theater tab) and then stops.
|
I re-installed exodus. Now I'm getting it to stream some shows. Movies are no go. If they open, it's an immediate freeze. It doesn't show that it's buffering even. Just frozen. For instance, Arrow will stream. Better call Saul will not. So I jumped around to other add ons ( even the pron apps) and you get audio but no vid.
I'll keep reading up and see if other users find solutions as time goes by. If anybody has an idea that might help, feel free to chime in. |
my Exodus is seemingly working again....but per prev comments about movies not working...I'm wondering if I may have same problem. my in theaters list now populates and my search works. but last night I didn't watch a movie or even try. instead I searched TV shows and watched the newest (second) episode of 11/22/63 and it worked fine.
|
Mine updated yesterday and search works fine again.
|
I'm now updated and running better than ever.
I do have question: Is it best to avoid the 1080p streams using a firestick? They seem to just freeze. As well as some of the other higher quality streams. Not enough processing power possibly? |
I need some help my nephew clear all my add on. I had prime wire, Phoenix,sports devil genesis and some other ones. How can I add them back on again.

Second, install Addon Installer via Fusion: https://www.tvaddons.ag/addon-installer-kodi/ Third, launch Addon Installer with KODI and install all those addons you listed above. They should all be in the Featured section of Addon Installer. There's instructions in this thread for Sportsdevil and the new Pro Sports too. |

FYI.... Pro Sport has been updated(v.33) to now include MLB streams. Not much yet as training camp streams aren't popular. But once the season starts, MLB will be available as well.
In addition, it's now possible to add your own Reddit stream source for whatever media you want. Soccer, MMA, Golf, etc. Beware this is very new and still experimental, but it works. If you trust yourself to tinker, here's how to add your own Reddit stream source: https://forums.tvaddons.ag/live-spor...tml#post337398 |

So, I'm going to upgrade to an Amazon Tv box. Lots of options on eBay. Anyway, I'm tempted to purchase one off the shelf and load everything myself.
My two questions: 1) is there a particular seller on eBay one would recommend? 2) I've looked through tvaddons and would like to know how easy I could do the job myself if I purchased one off the shelf. Thanks cord cutting friends!! |

I'm having problems streaming again. Exodus, Sportsdevil, about the only thing working is ProSport and it only works sometimes. I'm running the latest version of everything and just did a clean install this morning on Fire box and my PC. Any ideas?

First, download the KODI .apk file to your computer. Link here: http://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/andr...rmeabi-v7a.apk Second, enable ADB on your FireTV by doing this: Quote:
ADBFire Download here: http://jocala.com/ Once ADBFire is installed, run it. Under Control Devices, click New. Add description as FireTV. Input FireTV IP address in the Address field. Leave other settings alone. Click Save. Connect. Once connected, you can click the Install APK button, and install the KODI apk you downloaded in step 1. Once KODI is installed, you can then continue with the other instructions to install Fusion, then Addon Installer, and have a nice GUI list of all addons you need. Bonus: Once KODI is installed, you can also install what's called FireStarter. This will give you the ability to launch KODI from the retail Amazon menu by double clicking the Home button on the remote, as opposed to digging through the Amazon apps menu(side loaded apps don't appear in the Recent list in the retail Amazon menu by default). A single click will return you to the Amazon Home menu from KODI. It's basically a Home menu replacement that's customizable. Firestarter info/download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire...t-app-t3118135 Let me know if you have any questions about any of that. |

I keep checking and checking every day on Exodus for two things....
1 - 10 Cloverfield Lane 2 - The Witch anybody found any apps that show these? |
Quote:
There's normally 3 stages of release with movies. First is the CAM version. Which is a camera recording of a theater release. It has crappy video and audio. Second is the TS version. Which is normally the same crappy camera recording video source that's synced up with a DVD quality audio source. Last comes the actual DVD release. Some addons won't display cam versions because most people don't want to deal with the shitty quality. But addons like 1Channel display cam versions. |
Quote:
I tried SALTS as well but no dice. hoping I get to see 10 cloverfield before I find out what the big surprise is. I was fortunate enough to be able to see the 6th sense without knowing what the surprise was.... |
What is the best Sports app for Kodi? Sportsdevil kind of sucks.
|
Quote:
Pro Sports addon is amazing for the major sports. |
I've been using Castaway. Essentially SportsDevil but it works better. Available from the add-on installer.
|
Okay, I'm six months cable free. And this firestick is working perfectly for baseball. I'm not sure I need a firetv box, although I'm going to purchase one soon and do the add on myself.
Currently, I'm sitting in my sun room, watching the Yanks/Stro's and the stream/picture is crystal clear. I've saved just over a 1k$ to this point. |
Is anyone else having problems with 1channel tonight?

So I am playing around with Estuary the new default skin for Kodi v17. Much much better than confluence. However, still not as good as any of the Aeon 3rd party skins. Some things are buried into the menus, but I am sure they will streamline it quite a bit.
|
How do I get the new update jarvis.

Quote:
i am a noob on this but methinks you are running a 17 that isnt a beta build. sorry |

2 things:
anyone know what repos or add ons are uninstalling other add ons? the official kodi blog had a post about it, but did not name names. In the comments, official developers basically say they would be very happy if about 25% of the userbase just went away. They also said they could do so by removing the ability of using 3rd party addons or at least pirate addons. Could be interesting if anything ever comes of it. |
I think that would be more than 25% of the userbase.
|
I would guess the people they wish would go away are the ones buying the boxes off eBay, that have no idea how to troubleshoot anything themselves and bitch at Kodi devs when stuff goes wrong in the third party apps.
|
Quote:
what? |
Alright - just getting into this and not 100% sure what I'm looking for. Friend directed me to www.minix.us to get a box, but I see they are readily available just about anywhere.
So, one of you experts get me going in the right direction as to what I need. |

God bless you. |

Then you'd load KODI on it and install some plugins. It's a piece of cake. There's countless guides online, including videos. And if you have any trouble, I'd be happy to help. |

I ordered a FireTV on Wednesday since Fish gave it his seal of approval, should be here today, so I'm going to spend the weekend getting it set up. |
Quote:
What about live sports? |
Quote:
It's all there. The one drawback is that fast moving sports on a stream tend to be a little streaky. It's not bad. It is noticeable. But I've learned to live with that. I've also learned to live with an extra 2300$ per year in my pocket. |
Alright, got my fire tv delivered today. What do I need to know?
|
Quote:
Load the repository and then add Pro Sport/Exodus/Phoenix/SALTS/etc. through the Add-on installer |
Quote:
Awesome. So: 1. Buy the Amazon Fire TV 2. Download KODI 3. Install whatever programs or what have you that you want 4. ???? 4. Profit |

https://www.tvaddons.ag/install-kodi-amazon-fire-tv/ The adbFire app is infinitely easier to use than the ESFileExplorer method in my opinion. And it also gives you countless other capabilities to do stuff you'll need to do with your FireTV. Once that's done, launch KODI. Then follow this guide to setup Fusion within KODI(Fusion is a website source that allows you to install addons directly within KODI): https://www.tvaddons.ag/fusion-installer-kodi/ Once Fusion is installed, then follow this to install the Addon Installer app: https://www.tvaddons.ag/addon-installer-kodi/ Once that's done, you'll launch the Addon Installer, and install the actual addons. Addon Installer is under Programs. Once Addon Installer is launched, go to the Featured section. I'd start with installing Exodus, 1Channel, Pro Sport, Phoenix. You can also install Sportsdevil, but must do that manually. Download the Sportsdevil .zip file here(BUT DO NOT UNZIP IT!): http://www116.zippyshare.com/d/41a8y...2016-05-03.zip Use adbFire to push the file to the addons folder. Then manually install the zip via this method: http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install...from_zip_files Once those are installed, you can navigate within KODI to System\Settings\Skin\Settings and tweak how KODI looks. Once you get a bit familiar with the interface, you can also install new Skins, and customize the living shit out of things. Including have links to other Amazon FireTV apps like Netflix, Amazon Video, Pandora, launch directly within KODI. Other Stuff: Here's a guide to sideload using just about any method/device: http://www.aftvnews.com/sideload/ Here's a couple pages full of resources and instructions to do just about anything with your FireTV: https://www.tvaddons.ag/ http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv http://www.aftvnews.com/ Too much? Let me know if you have questions. :toast: |

I'm sure I'll have questions....what to add, etc. I added the 4 you suggested (Exodus, 1Channel, Pro Sport, Phoenix) - once I get a bit familiar with what I'm doing, I'm sure there is tons more I can ask. Thanks a ton for all the help! |

If/when you have questions, hit me up. It's capable of quite a bit, just let me know how far down the rabbit hole you wanna go. It's capable of being rooted at the moment, if that tickles your fancy. You can do some extra customization stuff with root. It's complicated. But if there's not really anything specific in mind you needed it for, it won't really be necessary. You can sideload just about any app. There was a recent update released for FireTV, the v5.0.5.1 firmware update. If you've already went through the setup process, you've probably already updated to that as they try and force it as part of the setup process. It changed things quite a bit. Mostly for the better. |
A very strange thing happened to my firestick overnight. I plugged it in and the tv didn't recognize that it even existed in the hdmi port(s) I could understand that if only KODI was gone as I've accidentally deleted it before. But today, even the Amazon TV content was gone. Everything.
I changed TV's thinking maybe my bedroom tv hdmi ports we messed up. So I tried another tv. And another. And no fire tv. No KODI. NOTHING. Anyway if you have some suggestions, I'm all ears. |
Kodi just released Kodi freetelly. Basically Kodi with add-ons pre-installed and ready to go.
Only available for Windows and Mac though. No plans for Android as they said it's "easier for Android users to do it themselves". |
So, what's the deal with Pro Sport? Just installed it the other day, but there never seem to be any streams for anything. Trying baseball games, just to see the quality, but not finding any streams for the games listed.

How is the stream quality typically? Hockey, especially, seems to suffer when the quality isn't great. I may be moving later this year, and may not have access to directv when I do, and want to ensure I can still watch the Chiefs and the Wild in good quality. |
Quote:
I'm going to do this. Thanks for the info. But before I make my purchase, will the FireTV Stick be sufficient or should I go with the box? |
