My TM/DLink router is on the first floor, and I have lan cables connecting it to another router on the ground floor. All htpcs are connected by lan cable, wireless lan only for the few tablets and mobile phones, present speed is more than adequate.

And no point for me to upgrade to Gigabit router at the moment because the NAS (Raspberry Pi) is not Gigabit-enabled. So as I said, I will consider a new router only when the present TM/DLink goes kaput.

i see....

all lan cabling is the best, no doubt.

video streaming via wifi - a lot more challenging!

I will be going for the RM199 with megapack. Since gonna potong Astro-poly and like AVFAN said...got some HD channels.

I too has kept the stb in storage from day one. Just took it out and update the software and testes it. My Hypptv stb is so ancient...little bit laggy. wanted to get the new android based and maybe mess around with it.

I am using the original DLink as a switch.

NFS = Awesome wifi video streaming

normally where you all get latest and working m3u8 list?

Yes.. Depends on what you mean by "premium". An example would be Navi-X. For more? See below.

Dear ol' Google is your friend.

thread title need to be changed to kodi soon!


if u r still on xbmc frodo or xbmc gotham, consider moving to kodi helix. kodi is the new name of the app, xbmc will disappear.
latest version is kodi 14.0 beta2 helix. i m now using it.

find kodi 14.0 beta2 helix here:
http://kodi.tv/download/

a great new app applicable to kodi only is this bbts.
u gotta love >1500 live tv and radio stations!
mostly sd, some 720p 2.0.
best of all, the message of this bbts addon is "this is a free list; if you paid for it, get a full refund from your seller"!!
includes news, entertainment, uk, usa tv, natgeo people, starworld, etc., etc. all live.

so, i say:
kodi (formerly xbmc) is the mother of all apps.
mashup is the mother of all addons.
bbts is the mother of all live tv.

new user here,quite tricky getting use to the interface.

btw,how is xbmc(kodi) on raspberry pi,any issues?
planning to get a raspberry pi for basic web browsing and kodi.

new user here. after installing xbmc gotham and then installed fusion. zip fie appears but without video files unless scrolled to repository. but then mostly not what you guys hv mentioned here example mashup, icefilm and others didn't appear. I followed exactly from youtube. I did try out youtube and why is the screen so small. pls enlighten me. oh I m using laptop to try out. windows 8.1. tq.

Wow!!! Thanks a lot AVFAN, this is a really great share!!
I would say, throw in also the XBMCtorrent addon to stream movies from torrent (just like how Popcorn Time does it), Kodi is really a complete media center now.

Me too running Kodi (OpenELEC) on Raspberry Pi, no issues at all

great that u like it!

i wanted to see how that utorrent work in kodi, but can't get the program addon - message always fail to install at 9x%. will try again.

curious... what is it like? how is selection of torrent done, what sites, stream it like popcorn?

will do on the 1st page

The XBMCtorrent addon can be grabbed from here https://github.com/steeve/xbmctorrent/relea...rrent-0.6.4.zip

Once the addon is launched, you will first choose from a list of providers, like YIFY, KickAssTorrent, then proceed to browse the movies from there.

You can also configure the addon so that the movie downloaded will not be deleted after you watched, in case you want to save it.



By the way, Mashup has been closed down now

Thanks for link.
Tried that, got it installed, can see how it works, can see all the torrents.
But all of the received error failed script XBMC torrent when tried to play.

Can you advise if there is any setting I need to do?
I just tried it with defaults.

Or perhaps some update is awaited, like I see some addons failed script initially but became ok with updates later....?

If it works, wow!!



Mashup... Yes closed n goodbye. but.... Having seen some saying goodbye and coming back weeks later, we shud b optimistic! Maybe it will comeback as MessUp.

So does bbts have EPL football?

Eh, that is weird. I use OpenELEC on Rasperry PI, and able to play all the movies. The only setting I have configured is the download folder location, where the movies will be saved and I also disabled the auto-delete.

May be the script failure is caused by insufficient disk space of the default location, if the setting above is not set. (just guessing)

The only failed script error I received before is when trying to show the list which contains movie "Autómata" due to its funny character in the movie title.
It is now fixed using the steps from http://www.iwillfolo.com/2014/11/quick-fix...-tv-shows-list/

Other than this, all the movie playback works fine without error, be it 1080p/AC3/DTS format.

i never understood this epl which many people ask about...
is epl a tv channel by itself?
or is it a soccer game telecast, over which tv channel(s) in uk or which country in europe?
xbmc/kodi addons and even iptv's go by tv channel names only.
i know there are sky sports, bt sports, eurosports, fox sports channels, a dozen uk tv channels, a dozen italian tv channels, etc.
but no idea where epl or champions league, etc. will be in...

ok, i will try reconfiguring the path, thanks.
