The Droid TV thread

[Hamish McPanji]

Let me just confirm the version that I am running on the fire tv. On my Nvidia Shield i have the lastest version.

Did you manage to check?

You can pick up a media box for 800 bucks from the Boksburg flea market. Haven't tried showmax but dstv, supersport and kodi works.

Do you perhaps know the 'name' of this box?

How about a mi box plus a wi-fi router?

Am trying to avoid using wi-fi, but can consider it. Locally where can I get mi box and cost?

Now the app opens up to the home screen and allows navigation around the menus, but streaming of live or catch up content does not work

And all that appears is a splash screen in the middle of the screen that lasts about 3 seconds displaying the title of the content I'm trying to stream

Eg trying to watch BBC News this appears in the middle of the screen for 3secs with some kind of timer then disappears and screen goes back to the main menu. Any ideas?

Just use Mobdro...

I bought the 8 gig version with 1 gig ram. Works like a charm.

What did I tell you guys? It was inevitable! (Read my previous comments warning about Kodi and the demise of so-called "free" streaming)...

Good, maybe now Kodi can develop into the amazing platform it could be.

I don't get why we should be upset about blatantly illegal services coming to an end. Surely Kodi is far better used for what it is actually built for?

Because once the studios and tv networks has closed down streaming they will turn their attention to other KODI features... Think about it....Kodi's main function is for the consumption of local media content (Think downloaded MP3s, movies, tv shows etc). It will just be a matter of time.

If the local content has been legitimately acquired, how (and why) would they oppose it?

Because of the way your media will be scrutinized, this could be called "ethical scrubbing of media".

In other words, if you have a movie on DVD you want to share to your entire household and you rip it to HDD, your media "could" potentially be removed by 3rd-party software (KODI) as a "regulating" agent... UNACCEPTABLE!

Why would they only target KODI? You are able to play local media using Plex.

Plex, VLC, iTunes, Windows Media Player, WinAmp... the list is virtually endless.

*****'s serious!

 

[catharsis]

Is there a droid tv box which has at least 2G ram, ethernet port, runs Kodi 17, SHowmax and DSTV Now for under R1500?

Even if in China
