I have only installed Kodi on my PC a few weeks ago. I can't exactly help you much because I was like trial and error, look for youtube tutorial, google etc.

To tell you the truth, I can't even remember the exact steps how I got it working in the first place. Even now I am fumbling around.

Anyway, I can't say these free stuff will be a good experience all the time. I don't really have a fixed internet line, just using some hotspot service and so far at certain times it appears be smooth but quite often there will be lots of buffering and frustration.

Just don't expect too much unless you got a really fast and stable line. Also will depend on the traffic/performance of the server from where you are getting the streams from.

May I check how do you install Viki or Dramago or Dramafever on Himedia? Viki app could not be installed on Himedia. It could be installed on my Mipad. Has anyone tried?

THANKS ALL for the guides on KODI install instructions!

Will be trying out n fingers are Xed that all will be AOK.

i hv tried a couple.

kdrama app is available at playstore, works. only thing is it is just drawn from youtube, so it is not diff from watching direct on youtube.

dramafever... not sure if this is an android app but i tried in on browser, ok.

there r actually many of such possibilities, incl chinese and japanese ones. i find them not too reliable or no better than using youtube. also, the ones on browser may carry malware, be careful.

i prefer to watch via popular apps like hitv, puding and vst - they work on himedia. mainly mandarin but has korean and japanese content too. however, these have chinese subs only, so if u must hv english subs, they r no good to u.

viki - this app is in plystore but yes, u r right, cannot work on himedia. i can't explain why but i suscpect it is the same reason why hypptv everywhere also cannot work on androids. but it works on ipads.

Good Luck

Actually I am currently watching Roland Garros Live on Foxsport HD right now, (Sharapova playing, maybe Federer match next ) , and I have come to the conclusion that even with a hotspot wireless average connection of 3mbps, the speed is capable of handling a smooth and continuous stream. I have for the first time just watched a whole game with just minimum hiccups.

I now strongly believe the buffering and pauses which often happens at other times are more due to the traffic over at the Server end and also the Hotspot provider end. It's not due to the 3mbps speed itself.

Thanks AV FAN. I guess the only affordable reliable source for Kdrama (Eng Sub) for me will be iflix at the moment. I agree, for eng movies and series, i got no problem. For china movies and series, i got no problem, the apps in Himedia could get me.

Only Kdrama (eng sub) and HK drama and movies i have problem getting. However, at the moment, the Kdrama offered in iflix is rather limited and i can't use Himedia to watch (it is not supported for Android Box yet). Hope they fix the content and technical issues

OK....after install of KODI, what addons do you
get for hd viewing of :

1. English show series
2. English movies
3. FOX Sports, F-1

any help > greatly appreciated!

Sifu AVFAN,

I installed Astro-On-The-Go on my Himedia Q16. Installation was succcessful, managed to log-in. But when i tried to watch, it just kept buffering, nothing came out. Anyone face the same problem?

ask in kodi thread, many advanced users there:
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry74642400

the last time i used it, it was fine.

i think it's just intermittent disruption which happens quite often.
could also be yr bandwidth lacking or aotg traffic too heavy at the time.
during worldcup tine, many matches buffering like hell until give up - very high traffic.

Probably not my bandwith problem, cause i immediately stream HDmovie, was very smooth. I quite dislike AOTG, can't even operate on google browser, so problematic.

You operate AOTG on a browser? Not using its app?

Vergas,

I operated AOTG using my app, not the browser.

I managed to get viki to work in my himedia. The thing is if u use browser to watch viki, u will get the video with sub, however, once u go full screen, the sub disappear. I think this is intentional from viki to promote samsung smart tv and chromecast, as these r compatible with it.

Nevertheless, u can use kodi and add viki as addon. Using kodi, i could watch 460p with sub. So atm, prob solved for me

thanks.

my first choice is always the standalone app. second is kodi app. i stay away from browser ones - hard to navigate, risk of malware...

I'm using Q1, same issue with you.

Sometimes On The Go app just crash by itself.

Anyone facing problem with HD Cinema. Could not access over the weekend.

HD Cinema has been taken down, the app won't work anymore.

Ah... I just remembered...

Aotg does not work with q16. Think it's aotg app not catching up with android 4.4 or higher.
I had tried that a few months ago, won't work.

But it works with lower androids, e.g. q5ii android 4.2.
I don't use it much but just tried, still good.
