Planning to get Himedia H8. But need to sort out one thing first for my wife. She watches chinese news report on ASTRO. Moving over to media player, can we watch free chinese local news? Prefer to stay away from channels 1 & 2 (govt stations).

Cheerio.

Thanks.

Chinese news on TV7 & 9 are viewable. Hope that my wife will not be too fussy, insisting on the one she is watching (forgot the channel no now).

Understand the additional work (and frustrations?) later with media player in watching programs compared to ASTRO. Ha.

Thanks.

I know there are many chinese channels from China & taiwan.

What I am after are daily Msian chinese news report (the ones at 6 or 8 pm).

Are these the ones you are referring to?

Thanks for the feedback.

Wonder where do M'sians using media player watch local news report?

Or they dont watch local news, watch only international news? Ha.

Many thanks!

Thanks.

Tried installing Kodi on my Vista PC last night. Followed the steps in one Youtube video.

Got one problem.

When I used

**DELETED***

as source, that source is not available.

AA
Do I wait till it is back online? Or is it permanently mati?

BB
Other alternative sources?

Thanks.


P/S Found a solution, use ***DELETED*** instead.

Like to watch concerts. Tried Concerts Archive in Kodi but it does not work. Maybe not maintained and the links are all dead.

Any other add on I can try?

I have tried to find one and Concerts Archive seems to be the only one.

Thanks.



P/S 30 Sept 15

Found out that there are some concerts links as I explored deeper into Phoenix. Some concerts in there but a few years old ones. Better than none.

Try the above.

Appreciate your feedback on your new toy MI. I am planning to get one but have not decided on which one to get.

Found this

Good reading material for xbmc novice like me.

I saw a note somewhere about downloading in Genisis. I am new to Genisis. I assume that is different from buffering (downloading while not viewing it).

Mind explaining Genisis downloading in a line or two? Like torrent downloading?

I have been looking around all sorts of tv programs and did not really look at Genisis till last weekend. For starters, explore this first. You will be surprised what are available in there! Hope the guy behind Genisis will continue this work. In his recent note, he stated that he will continue though there are notes from other people that he will stop.

Thanks.

Many thanks!

Used right click on other add-ons, glad to see this feature in Genisis.

Cheerio.

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.

try the above.

One add-on from China has this display of boxes with crosses in the middle. I think they are chinese characters. How can I get Kodi to display chinese characters?

Thanks.


P/S managed to get chinese characters now.

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.

Ha ha, HD for CAM movie!

Can they make $ by putting movies there?

Or are the TV box manufacturers behind this? To create a demand for movies and then their boxes?

Anyone can share a lay-man story on this Kodi thing, who do some people put all these movies for others to watch?

Cheerio.

Say, one has installed Robinhood. Later there is an update. How to update Robinhood? Reinstall it? Or force it to update? How?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Wish that all will be auto update.

Sometimes I have the bottom menu (play , stop etc buttons, time scroll line) on the screen for a long time. Like to know how I can make it disappear. I know that it disappears by itself if the screen is inactive. Sometimes that happens and sometimes it stays. Annoying at times when watching a movie.

Thanks.
