Kodi Add Ons?

The stick doesn't have the hardware to really be dependable. It's nice for vacation trips or to put in a guest bedroom or something. But I certainly wouldn't want to use it for my every day viewing.

Protip: There's a KODI plugin called KeyMap Editor. You load this plugin within KODI, and it allows you to map/remap any keys on the remote controller. So you can change the button you accidentally keep hitting so it doesn't do that annoying behavior anymore. You can also change the function of any buttons you're not happy about. You can adjust global button settings, or behaviors for just fullscreen video, OSD menu, etc.

Install firestarter. You can make Kodi be the default app when you press the home button. Or better yet, make it the double press home button app. That way when your using the netflix app, double press home and it will send you to kodi. The home button gets you back to the amazon menu that way.



EDIT: For the love of god people, stay away from the generic android boxes. So many of my the kodi subreddits are clogged with problems with those boxes. I unsubbed from them, it was so annoying. Shield, Nexus, FireTV and Stick should be your only considerations short of a PC. Maybe the Raspberry Pi 2... I love mine, but not if you want netflix and hulu.

was looking into the nexus but it has one very major flaw. No USB port. I think the interface would be leaps and bounds better than fire TV but no usb port is just ****ing dumb.

It has a mini usb. http://phandroid.com/2014/11/20/usin...-nexus-player/ I wouldnt pay full price for one, but ~$50 I would.


As for Pro Sports addon. Thank god PodGod took it over. The guy who first made it deleted his repo once everyone started asking him to add more leagues to it. It has got to be brutal to be a dev.
