Cos your box might be Android 4.4.2 only hence your alternative is FTMC, SPMC, go Google

Mine is android 6.0
Tried to do it manually using file browser also kenot

kodi 17 will not overwrite 16.

erase old complete, redo all.

no other way.

even if u save and reuse old folder org.xbmc.kodi, u will get errors, incompatibility, etc.

I'm the lazy type, i would just reset the whole box to factory default then install Krypton and other apk... A fresh install. Usually solves the problem

My box comes with 17.3. When I tried to sideload 17.4, it says "app not installed". I deleted the 17.3 version and then it will install.

If you want to retain your configuration, you can consider doing a backup using Kodi addon. There are many different addon programs which do backup, I think nobody guarantees everything will be restored correctly, everything is just best effort.

IPTV list pdate daily, no more worries...

Hi I downloaded the addons alr. But then when I tried to click on the files, the files won't load and it just remain back at the same page. Any ideas why?

Hi I'm planning to buy a box .
At the moment I saw many miBox buyer, but from what I see there are quite many with almost the same spec but cheaper price , why ppl choose xiaomi? Because of the brand ?
I'm more into tvb and Korean dramas, guess I just buy any box with kodi will do right ?

Can I watch TVB HK drama using Kodi? Like what AOD have?

Go to kodi thread, read first couple pages, understand how it works.
Kodi is an app, a platform. The kodi app owners provide it but do not put things there.
Other users make their own addons, let public use it for free.
Hk, korean dramas are found in some addons, but rather limited.
These addons depend on the owners who dun always maintain well.
Keep in mind kodi is more of a western.eng app.
Fans of tvb worldwide is tiny compared to eng or even mandarin.
Asian app makers tend to do their own standalone apps, not put in kodi.
So, u get some... but dun get upset when u dun get enuf or they dun work!

Boxes come in all shapes n sizes.
Cheap no good, good no cheap.
But it really depends on what u want.

Some hv no ethernet port, only wifi; some relatively small storage.
Some unable to do hd audio, some cant even do dd/dts.
If u want better features n capabilities, u need to pay more for better boxes.
And dun be fooled... another box with same specs may not be the same at all.
A lot has to do with the box firmware, done by the box manufacturer and continuous support.
Consider things like start up, shut down time, responsiveness, video n audio quality output, networking, utilities, wifi strength.

Both of you can buy a simple 2gb/16gb boxes with min S905X Android 6 for under RM250 to meet your simple expectations such as installing Kodi 17.5 and another RSS Player (this is backup for your oppa, taiwanese, chinese and hongkie dramas....)

Thanks for the reply both sifu. Currenlty I'm looking at Milix box or Himedia.

No and yes.

Axtro is axtro, u pay, decoder gives u those channels of yr package.

There is illegal axtro which i will not talk about in public and i suggest u dont to avoid trouble.

But if u mean certain live channels, yes.

They can be obtained with the right apps.

But dun expect all of them, in hd, and free!

There are also video on demand besides live.

Quality, reliability, stability varies a lot, depends on yr speed, device, the app n links themselves.

Kodi is just one app, there are dozens of others.

In general, eng videos is easiest to get.

Free live sports in hd is hardest to get.

U can read and ask more about boxes and apps in other dedicated threads.

As this is a kodi thread for newbies.

What Astro, kindly list em down cos I never use xtro b4....

Me wanna know too

I'm also deciding to buy a tv box to use Kodi.

I've been reading this thread and the other Kodi V2 thread and I hope I'm informative enough to be able to setup my own Kodi but I wanted to clarify again.

To be able to use Kodi and its live TV features, I just need a TV Box, Kodi app and its add ons correct?

I don't need TV tuner etc right?

I'm also having some challenges picking the right TV box as I wanted it to be lag free in a sense that it doesn't feel sluggish using Kodi.

Internet I will be using Time so I believe it would be smooth.

For my kind of requirements, would a MiBox suffice? Or is there a better one I should go for? I know the minimum would be 2GB RAM and Android 4.0.

Kindly advice ya.

EDIT : I actually have a UBOX 3 but it does give issues and I'm sort of looking for other solutions. UBox has many chinese apps too and I'm english educated, so Kodi would really be great for me to use.

I just got a Samsung SmartTV series 6. Is that a way to install Kodi in it? Did a brief google for this and seems like Kodi cannot be install in Samsung TV as they are using TizenOS.

Thank you for any advice.

kodi is android app, you need at least an android tv for it. or better an android box.
