THE community for XBMC talk on Google+. If you use the following addons to get "free" content, you are pirating media: Iceflims 1Channel Navi-X We highly recommend avoiding the use of those addons or talking about them in this community. If you continue to use them, the copyright owners may sue you and may win. This is the only warning we can give. Furthermore, XBMCHub, the provider of these addons that may result in your getting sued, has nothing to do with XBMC or the XBMC community. If they get you sued for $100,000 per piece of pirated content, remember who to be angry at.

The following is a list of organizations that, to the best of XBMC’s knowledge, have released versions of XBMC without the source code required by the GPL v2.0. As we are much more interested in opening up code than taking any kind of legal action, we have decided to follow the lead of FFMPEG and others by merely listing these organizations.

Good to have a dedicated XBMC here.

Using Raspberry Pi

Using 2 units of ATV2 jailbroken, OUYA, Nexus 7, Nexus 5 and HTC One
All good

wah, banyak gajet tu 

Yes - the more the merrier 
BTW you are missing xfinity in your post

Thats an awesome looking box
Perhaps you should also look into repos for good live streaming

yup, some images of of your Pi would be great.

Is this the installation tutorial similar to yours?



How good Pi play 1080p? quite interested here 

Glad to see a dedicated thread for xbmc. I am using minix x5 mini. One n00b question, what's the minimum speed requirement for xbmc? Seems I'm having problem watching movies with my 2mbps "super fast" streamyx...

What about this?

XBMC without add-ons is consider incomplete, we need add-ons to make the entertainment more colorful. Some of the popular add-ons could be find from:
XBMChub http://www.xbmchub.com/
Mash Up http://www.mashupxbmc.com/
Super Repo http://superrepo.org/
Xunity http://www.xunitytalk.com/forum.php

There are many out there, I believe but mostly I am using the 3 above especially the first 2. However there are many other related to what we have currently, in order to that maybe we can gather some infos of our tiny powerful XBMC such as:-

XBMC version : Frodo 12.3
Video addons : 1Channel, Icefilm and Mash Up 

great to have a thread like this.

i hv only had xbmc for a couple of months - on android and pc.

as a new user, one thing i find frustrating about xbmc is unless you have prior knowledge, you do not know which addon is in which zip file or repo! i had reinstalled xbmc on a couple of ocassions and struggled to find what is where. of course, now i know better...

yes, xbmchub and mashup are best, covers most addons.
and yes too, 1 channel, icefilms and mashup are the best there is.
i also use istream and iwo (i watch online) which are found in xunity's "the one" repo.
within mashup, my fav is i-live for live tv stations (not on by default, need to click it on within mashup settings).

for links, i find movreel most reliable.

about chinese addons (now, i can't remember if they are found in superrepo??), i had tried some of them like pps, kankan, youku - all seem pretty useless, dun work. azdrama works but selection is very limited. is this the same experience for others?

for chinese stuff, i stay away from xbmc, rely on the android's native app which is quite good.

Good to have a dedicated XBMC here.

Using Raspberry Pi

may i know where can i get raspberry pi with affordable price here?
any website u recommend?

Hai.. All fans..
Who have XML file from this bro....
Malaysia tv

My mashup somehow doesn't work. The movie won't load and it's very frustrating. Imagine spending almost half an hour trying to watch movie and it doesn't load at all. Atm, my fav is icefilms. But i need to download the metadata in order for the cover or poster to appear, which ia a big file to download.

I highly recommend this site for home server related information:

We Got Served
They recently sell a How-to eBook on XBMC, which I think should be very informative for anyone who really want to set up their first XBMC home entertainent unit: Stream Music and Video via XBMC

The price I think is very reasonable.

I'll give mashup the best so far, the list is quite extended especially the HD one. 2nd I'll go for Icefilm. 1Channel will be the last option. I am a family man, I've to monitor my kids what they are going to watch as at most the movies all uncut version, even for some animes not suitable for kids to watch it. Yes, I agree that navigating forth and back in XBMC is quite confusing, the back not always return us to where the menu we intended to go.

i had a similar problem, likely it was corrupted, unable to update. best to uninstall it, reinstall the latest one 1.4.0 by adding source in file manager:
http://install.mashupxbmc.com

about anime (japanese), the best addon is kissanime followed by anime highway. these 2 will fill the needs of all anime fans. kissanime offers much in 720p, better video quality than those dvds in the shops! and they are up to date - i just watched shippuuden 351 last night.

What about this?



http://prasys.info/2014/02/how-to-hack-hyp...huawei-ec6106v/

haha am still not brave enough 

will try this,usually i watch at narutoget.

off topic

for collection i'm download from taka fan sub because their rip from TVtokyo itself...just for sharing

already done it but, cant install any apps yet, dunno why

Great thread. Just what I need to learn about xbmc. Currently using atv3. But am open to explore android media box, etc. Still very much a novice.

How to add malaysia channel. Can sombebody guide me? Thanks

try kissanime at xbmc, you'll like it, very complete. all naruto n shippuuden episodes n movies r there. same with all the rest... i just checked ghost in the shell, all movies n tv series r there, eng sub, eng dub, hd, various resolutions.

i hv collected naruto n shippuuden via horriblesubs but will stop since all that is now available easily by streaming. more so when there seems to be no ending after 571 episodes!!

Mind telling me how to get kissanime to run? thank you 

Need recommends for Chinese movie and drama add on. Right now don't have a good add on in my XBMC for Chinese movie and drama. Preferably one that streams 720p video.

How about Korean and Japanese drama and movie add on? Any good recommendation?

install from: fusion>movies-tv>the highway repo. have fun!

I see, it just from the fusion haha never realized it, thank you

see wat i mean? not easy to know what is in which repo!

i know where my fav ones are by now but no idea where the rest are...

Meaning no XBMC yet?

maybe it just me cuz cant install from store, tablet version or something like that

ATV3 will never have xbmc unless three some genus that can jailbreak it.
Only ATV2 can be jailbroken and I am glad I have two of them as ATV2 is still providing the best xbmc platform.

Anyone tried the Navi-X in PROGRAM.....lots of fun inside there.

Yes, but I find it too messy, and difficult to find reliable and working stuff.... What do you like in there? Sports?

Just to tell (for education purpose), fusion also brings prawns from their sub 3 repos, in curiosity i tried installed it, the videos mostly are in HD!  well already uninstall it of course 
But the parental program is handy, it can lock any of the channels to be open by using it. The lock sequence only using the left, right, top and bottom keys combination, very useful indeed.

Anyone tried the Navi-X in PROGRAM.....lots of fun inside there.

I installed fusion, but the KissAnime appeared to be broken.  Can anyone confirm that ?

Recommend 1 or a few channels that you have uninstalled (or need to be uninstalled immediately in case i accidentally installed some of them)
Inb4 for educational purposes...

the first 2 repos, installed, preview the categories inside and installed the parental control to make sure it is working and lastly removed the repos. This is for educational purpose, indeed.

XBMChub http://www.xbmchub.com/
Mash Up http://www.mashupxbmc.com/
Super Repo http://superrepo.org/
Xunity http://www.xunitytalk.com/forum.php

for sake of completeness and future reference for anyone installing xbmc for the first time and want the above "big four", easiest way to get is to go to settings->file manager->add source... and get them online by keying in one by one:

http://fusion.xbmchub.com
http://install.mashupxbmc.com
http://use.superrepo.org/Frodo
http://xfinity.xunitytalk.com

of course, after that, need to get the whatever zip files and then enable the addons you so desire.

thank you, and there are where the fun begun 

Good question. I also want to know how good XBMC runs on
- Minix X5
- Himedia Q series
- Rasberry Pi (some says it's a bit slow)

Looking to get one of these for my second TV, mainly playing from HDD (NAS maybe in future) and probably streaming.

I've been running OpenElec XBMC with RPi for quite some time now.

IceFilm, 1Ch are good but recently i m using SimplyPlaer and GoTV/I wanna watch to watch US TV Series in HD. Especially SimplyPlayer is highly recommended.

There's no simple answer to which repo to use. U can go to XBMCHUB.com forum to read up on all the available repos but for me easiest way is to install all the REPOs and then install all the add-ons 1-by-1 to try them out.

There is also a wizard in FUSION which will install the most common/recommended plugins for you. Go try them out

Good Chinese/HK/Korean sources are scarce nowadays. Mainly using Azdrama.net , Good Drama and Drama Crazy. Last time AzDrama used to have lots of 720p sources but noawdays 240/480 at best

KissAnime is great, they stream 1080p animes and all up to date

For sports you can try Navi-x or SportsDevil (maxmusterman Repo)

But nowadays HD sports channel are also hard to come by sigh...

To me RPi is fast enough. All depending on the SD Card you use. Also i moved the storage to USB ThumbDrive instead of SD Card itself and the best thing is you can easily Overclock RPi to make it faster (I m using medium settting).

Try to google as much as you can, all info are there. Once you get a hang of it, it's easy.

i've even managed to reprogram the buttons on my TV remote for one touch functions like searching for Subtitles etc

Thinking to run XBMC on a budget hardware.
Do you guy recommend Android (Media Player / Tablet) or Raspberry Pi ?

Been using XBMC for a month and it's awesome.
For my main TV I'm using a budget PC connect to my TV using HDMI. Sometimes I use ARC from my TV to my HTIB for better 5.1 sound to get cinema experience. There are many contents in HD and in 5.1 audio and of course new movie or TV show release are available almost up to date.
Mashup contents itself is more than sufficient. There are even 3D movies too and no issue with lagging even with 3D with my VIP10 Unifi.

I also use a Himedia Q5 for my bedroom TV to watch late night sport on Navi using WIFI. Totally satisfy.

None of the above
Get a QUAD Core box or tablet then you will see the difference

Some say Himedia Q (dual core) are not good enough to run XBMC.
Does it have any problem on streaming (mashup, 1channel etc) on a Unifi VIP5?
I do read somewhere they have problem playing 1080P video from HDD.
Do you have any problem with video playback from HDD (720P/1080P)?

Raspberry Pi, with a  casing and SD card think you will spend not more than 200 ringgit will get you small foot print player. But need to be IT know how to set it up running. The disadvantage, Rpi don't have storage to store movies.

Any Rpi uses here using USB keyboard? Searching without keyboard is really a pain.

As I have mentioned my setup consists of the following:

2 units ATV2 jailbroken - awesome
1 unit OUYA - also awesome in 1080p

Basically any Quadcore will do as dual core will never have enough juice to run XBMC and WILL always have problems like lag, hang and FC

BTW I also have 2 units of Himedia collecting dust

xbmc server very slow..took a long time to download the installation file
any faster alternative ?
