Like to know how do you control the use of your TV box to prevent kids from watching the "wrong" movies/videos?

There is a parental control but it says it is only effective for some add-ons, not all.

Ideally, all the kids' shows are placed in one big menu and they cannot exit from that menu. Possible?

Thanks.
P/S  Installed another parental control from Kodi. This one is better, one can choose which add-on to protect.

Hello All,

I'm looking for a media player and need your help. I recently got a Xiao Mi Box but Kodi on it was very unstable. I had to reinstall a few times.

Can someone suggest a good media player?

So far I'm looking at Minix Neo X8H Plus or Amazon Fire TV. Which is better, can install Kodi on Fire TV?

I would like to watch Hulu, Netflix and Cloud TV on it.

Thanks!

mibox many isue with kodi.... raspberry is stable for kodi but cannot use hard ...

Most of the disk space are used for storing thumbnails and they are stored in the profile folder. You will need to move the profile folder to a separate drive to free up the internal disk space in your mibox. You can follow the steps from the link below:

Updated to Kodi Isengard from Helix. Now my Genesis having trouble to play from host. Even Gvideo not playing. Except, SD quality. Haih.. Damn updates.

Noted lately that when I selected a HD movie, Genesis showed the movie in 480 mode. Can get 720 mode before. Is it that Genesis will set the resolution depending on the broadband one is using? I am using 2 Mb only.

Thanks.

Xbmc/kodi, can it watch Astro Wah Lai Toi?

been trying kodi for a month now.

its not an alternative for sport fans.

not even close.

sources goes missing, streams are unreliable, quality like crap...

i've gone baçk to subscribing to astro.

Installing apps on the TV box will require granting the software some access to files (images etc), usage data etc.

I know that is the the norm with mobile phones now.

With streaming from Hdisk to the box, can the software then have access to the hdisk?

One may be opening access to others without really realising it.

Cheerio.

No concern on Kodi getting the data from HD.

Concern is the installed apps (the ones which asked for some access during installation) having access to the HD data.

I thought there is network security in place to avoid things like that. And thus the apps need one's permission to access during installation.

Sounds like it is wild wild west for network security then.

Cheerio.

Press the letter "O" on your keyboard. Its not exactly download speed but you can see the size of cached data and % of cache utilized. How fast it fills up depends on your current net connection and source.
What sources...addon...internet speed...?? Plus a bunch of other possible reasons... You can always do a fresh start.. wipe data/uninstall and reinstall KODI.

Oh i know what I'm talking about. I asked you to give more details, rather than just saying sources not working or not being able to watch "anything". You do realize that files can be played off local and smb shares etc. By now, you should know how KODI works. Its just a box and what you do inside the box is up to you. You seem to be complaining about the Genesis addon (alone?), its performance depends on your hardware, what version of Genesis you are running, your internet speed (how fast it takes to pull list of sources) and priority of sources setup in settings. Here's my advice, especially if you plan on "mass deployment". Wipe your KODI installation, if you set it up yourself, then it should be easy to re-setup. When satisfied, do a backup and test on another installation. For best results, look into creating a custom build or wizard. Doing this, gives you an easy zip file, install from zip and kodi extracts everything into the right places.
