Dude.. You keep misintepreting. No where in my previous posts have I ever commented that it's only the Neo U1 that works with V17.3 or any Kodi version for that matter. If you can't wrap your head around how the system works, then don't come in here claiming to know how it works or the amount of effort that is required to develop an app like Kodi for millions of devices out there. It's not copy and paste.. Plus there are legal issues involved.

You are the same fella who claims that Kodi is too sluggish on your device, now it's working great on it? Don't make me laugh..

What's so special about the updates? Good grief..  doh.gif.. You do realize that the latest update fixed a major security flaw (as in a subtitle file can open up a massive backdoor into your system) among other bug fixes.. I suggest you actually read to understand. Here, the official changes in the release.
Once again.. Just cuz you have no idea how things work or why it should, does not mean that others do not.. Sometimes, it's better to keep silent and observe than to talk and remove all doubt..  icon_rolleyes.gif

I said Kodi are slower compared with the standalone apps and still stick with my claimed.

I understand the amount of works they have contributed but if the other dev can just make changes to let older device works with less helping hands why can't they do that in the first place? You are the one should wake up. DON'T over support the official Kodi dev.

Whatever they plan to moved forward is all about money by end of the day but without those 3rd parties addon's. Kodi is nothing and will GO DOWN!

ps: fixed is not improvement but flow. taking one step forward but 3 steps back not a wise move. LOL laugh.gif

the trouble is kodi has attracted a lot of attention, too much.

the lawyers haven't unleashed everything yet.

this bit is serious:

QUOTE
A US court has just granted a subpoena to help identify a number of prolific add-on developers.

ZemTV and TVAddons both closed down recently but this latest order will allow US TV company, Dish Networks, to track down the teams behind them.

The subpoenas mean that a Dish Networks can approach companies such as Facebook, Twitter and Google to find out who owns a number of email and social media accounts relating to the add-ons.

If found and prosecuted it could change the face of Kodi and illegal add-ons forever.

It's probably lagging cuz..
*Using a skin that your device can't drive smoothly.. Powerful devices have no issues driving heavier skins. If so, switch back to default or a more resource-friendly skin.
*installed a build on it.. I'm no fan of builds as they tend to come with a ton of crap I don't need.. I prefer a lean, mean installation instead.. A couple of verified addons and tweaked settings (advancedsettings.xml) and I'm good. Think about it, how much addons do you even need?

This... Device + Setup + Network = Performance.. Garbage in = Garbage out.
Nope.. Both Exodus and Specto work on V17.3... Using auto-play pulls 1080p sources to play & automatically fetches subs as well. Check you have the right versions.
Exodus V3.1.19
Specto V2017.06.11.1

what do you mean auto-play? is a feature or?

I would recommend Dimitrology's boomshakalaka base build then add on your plugins for a sleek Jarvis kind of UI and lower resource usage.

1. Kindly read on and understand what the terms "Open Source", Non-Profit" and GPL means... Self-explanatory.
2. Kodi is a essentially a basic, straightforward operating system, with an easy to use framework for building other programs (addons).
3. From software & hardware giants such as Microsoft, Google (Alphabet), Apple, Ubuntu (Linux OS) to car manufacturers - Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Ferrai, Ford, etc. For technological advancement to progress, the old must be left behind for the new to flourish. It's why we have better cars, software, hardware, etc. Blockbuster game titles like Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Fallout 4, Mortal Kombat X & Overwatch now have full 4K support on PC and while each have minimum requirements to run them, its basically common sense not to expect full performance from said minimum requirments. In order to enjoy the maximum performance that the code is capable of achieving, some serious hardware is required. That's a no brainer. Same applies to Kodi. Any who can't see this is clearly beyond help.
4. Fixes is not an improvement? doh.gif I see I was wrong to assume you knew what change-logs are and how version progression works.. Here, take time to go through the official change-log of Krypton over Jarvis.
Krypton V17.1 over V17.0
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Source.

Krypton V17.0 over Jarvis V16.1
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Source.

5. Kodi existed just fine before troublesome third party addons came on.. It also existed quite fine and still does as the BEST media player for local file playback. No other media player comes close to what Kodi has achieved and all these was achieved cuz "community".. not money.. Does money play a part? hell yes!, but it is not the motivating factor. Further proof? LibreELEC, OpenELEC, SPMC, XBMC for Minix, FTMC, EBMC, CEMC, VidOn Media Center, OSMC, Plex (Initial versions), RasPlex, ZDMC, XBian, MyGica, . FYI, SPMC is brought on by Koying, who was part of the official Kodi development for awhile and even Koying dropped Rockchip specific support and has officialy named the Nvidia Shield as his primary dev device.

So yes, the power of the Open Source model with the backing of an online community is what fuels Kodi and its forks. I know my stuff and not simply "asleep" and or over-supporting the official devs' decision to advance as should. Their move is the right move.

A bunch of people are still unable to grasp the consequences behind the over-popularity of addons that cater specifically to illegal content. i would like to believe that we all knew the consequences, just hoped it would be delayed longer or postponed indefinitely. Alas it's not. Nevertheless, the show will go on.

Unfortunately I can't at the moment. I get the appeal of a build as I used to maintain one (privately). So how about running the build for about a week or so and take note of the addons you use frequently. I'd be willing to bet that you can count them all with your fingers. Then figure out how to get them installed on a fresh install. Then you add a skin and customize to heart's content. smile.gif

QUOTE(biru76 @ Jun 23 2017, 11:48 AM)

Means the addon is set in such a manner that selecting a content to play doesn't bring out the traditional next dialog window showing potential links and then having to click one by one till one plays. With auto-play, one just selects the content and the addon starts checking the lists automatically for a live one to play. Starting from 1080p or even 4K (in applicable cases) down to SD.

Just tested SALTS and able to fetch 1080p + 5.1 surround sound while using Auto-play.... Running V2.0.196 and it can be gotten/updated from the Exodus repo. Install the latest repo and let the addon update if yours is still on the older version.

True, installing a build is easier than manually installing addons and setup one by one. But its still better (performance-wise) to manually install and setup cuz then, you know exactly what goes in, when, and if something breaks immediately after a setting, install or update, you'll quickly figure whats wrong and rollback/undo the latest change. You can start with the links on Page one. Instructions are up on how to install the addons, setup etc.. If there are any dead links or methods that don't work anymore (cuz recent crackdown), do let me know and I'll update accordingly. smile.gif

Oh yeah, I find myself using the Amber skin majority of the time (cuz setup just the way I like it) and occasionally switching between Aeon Nox (heavier, more powerful customization) and the stock Estuary skin.

Anyone who uses kodi long enough would hv tried builds n then forget about it.

Becos most builds r good at the beginning, then they are not updated or the addons changed or the repos die off.

More so now with all the heat on the addon developers.

Best to do clean kodi install and build yr own addons with plugins, not repos.

This way, u get the lightest build, best overall performance.

But need to constantly get new plugins as they become available.

And it will as the developers need to play hide n seek and not be sitting ducks for the lawyers to get them.


It wil be nice to have a superbuild that auto update, great addons, smooth streaming, little effort to maintain.

Alas, that is payable Netflix or Astro, not free kodi.

First time Kodi user and I tried installing Exodus plugin on it. Page 1 tutorial somehow didn't work (Exodus 3.1.9 with Kodi Krypton 7.3). Basically what I did was: download the plugin from github page and from Kodi "install from zip". It said the required dependencies on repo.exodus is not available something like that.

So I was browsing through the reddit and found this tut on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhoWBe7iz2A

And it worked! smile.gif So excited.

My question is: Does the plugin installation from 3rd party repo pose any security threat to my PC? It was installed from Ares project.

For certain links, pairing is required before they'll play... In most cases, if the pairing times out, the addon simply moves on to the next source in line, until it finds one that plays or none. I tried a few popular content and it had no issues pulling sources and playback. Could it be that the content you are trying to play is too "old" and no fresh sources to scrape at the moment?

I'll check out the video and update the post on page one accordingly. Thanks for bringing it to notice. Actually, the easier way is to download the provided zip (a few pages back), the zip contains the latest Exodus repo.

Are you talking about the repo.exodus 3.0.0 zip attachment posted by OCMAX?

I tried installing plugin from kodil github directly and it didn't work, says about repo exodus 3.0.0 something. Maybe that's the missing thing, believe it's much easier that way

What do I do with the repo zip file though? Do I just select "install add-ons" from that zip file that's all?

Thanks for the update

FYI, on the latest, for those with Exodus, Specto, Flixnet, Salts, Genesis Reborn, my personal timeout settings would be at least 15 sec in order to get those HD 720p above....
