Thank you guys for your effort. Really appreciate your contribution.

Does it pull 1080p movies easily? Without API or DB?

thanks for the convenience caused

btw, may i know can i just change the path the existing IC drama add ons?

Manage to do until step below:
In Addons, install an addon from zip. When it asks for the location, select "aznhusband-repo", and install repository.aznhusband-kodi-repo-1.0.1.zip

But stuck at steps below:
Go back to Addons install, but this time, select "Install from repository"
Select the "aznhusband-kodi-repo" - Nothing happened when do this step

* I had previuosly installed icdrama and i uninstalled it before start installing following the link.

Please advise

Perhaps the repo was down then. Try it again and or simply download the addon zip and install manually.

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?

Thanks bro

Not sure what you mean, but if you just install the new version, it will replace the current one.

Repo works, hundreds are using it. Worst case, simply download the 1.7.0 zip manually and install from a USB stick.

Thats not it, you still need to have locked down boxes, but as an option. So for example when you subscribe you can pick whether to have their own STB or just download their addon for a cheaper subscription. I only said less boxes, not to replace STBs.

I came back here from the UK and saw a very backward society. Many things arent sold here even by the same brands. To give you a very simple example comparing printers of the same brand, in EU brother sells the MFC 9020CDW, 9015CDW which cost half of the DCP 9330CDW for the same features, only has less ram and a bit slower. In malaysia neither of those models are sold so you are stuck with the 9330CDW and some other lesser model that only costs RM200 less. In singapore you can buy the 9340CDW which has a double sided paper feed scanner that costs the same as the 9330CDW.

Even in doing business i chased off many contractors because they were blatantly overcharging as i already recognised all the prices they listed and just end up doing the work myself neatly. Malaysians simply dont know how to do business. Everyday i give free advice online on networking and wiring and most are americans wanting to do it themselves. To give a very simple example, patch panels cost $15-$35 in the US. In malaysia they cost more than rm300 from most sellers with the ones costing less than rm 100 to be very few. So i dont call the cheaters cheaters, i just say they dont know how to do or run a business.

I dont have pent up anger, but it is shocking how backwards we are as a society. Even the same brands dont give us the same options as they do for other countries.

So kodi gives us the option for better efficiency, meaning IPTV providers can have a software only option other than their own STBs so they can offer a better deal to customers that want such meaning they dont need to give everyone STBs and waste loads. Save that electricity and e-waste for those that want and can.

Ofcourse anything can be abused. I can throw my astro STB at someones head and kill them.

What i mean by ads is free stuff has ads. Google has lots of ads. TV has ads but do we pay to use google? So what im saying is that tv providers cant complain if their ad based channels to get pirated because those ads get shown too. They can complain only if their premium ad free channels get pirated. Honestly, i dont really care much about what astro offers but my family likes astro oasis. All other channels are already free such as tv1-tv9, tv-alhijrah. As for me i still have my UK amazon prime and a VPN to use to watch whenever i want.

TLDR: Malaysia boleh! Malaysia is bestest.. If tak suka, ye keluar. Easier to rule.

Okay, no pent up anger, just frustrations at the country, folks and processing within. Semantics.. I'm an expat who's being here a couple years, lived in and visited a few other countries (some better, some worse). So believe you me that the frustrations are mutually shared. For instance, I've been meaning to change my current vehicle and been doing research on options. However, it's quite potong steam when the vehicles end up being launched here as I've drooled over specs & quality available in other countries as per YouTube videos. End up, no choice.. Not worth the amount at the moment, so continue using current vehicle. Here's to hoping that a significant amount of the population will also realize we are being shortchanged, do the same and the manufacturers or dealers will realize that and match specs and quality. Cuz if the consumers don't vote with their wallets, the same will continue and no change.

I think you need to re-read my post and try to see what I meant but didn't spell out blatantly... I was simply trying to remain on topic. TM and Astro already have software options, though not full scale or really standalone packages yet. TM has Hypptv (desktop and mobile) while Astro has AOTG for mobiles. Ever since their release, it's has been one issue after another..why? Inefficient delivery system, device and OS fragmentation leading to app incompatibility. Then there's the issue of stable, fast and "cheap" internet connections..that's another story entirely.

A closer example would be this Kodi thread. Despite how few of us are here. No week goes by without someone needing some assistance to get an addon or their installation working properly. Scale that up to even a fraction of the millions of subscribers TM & Astro has, you should see that it's going to be a customer service nightmare and costly for them. More and more people are ditching Astro for alternatives and so they've bleeding. With any regular (non-niche) business, cost reduction is the number one priority as shareholders must be pleased. Like you suggested, can they offer a Kodi addon in the future? Maybe, I'll welcome that. From my little IT background, I can imagine what it'll take for such to happen. Rollout an addon with EPG, recording, etc.. Absolutely 100% doable and inexpensive considering their budget. However, securing said streams and preventing people from simply hijacking it and selling/distributing on the down low? That's a a huge endeavor. See the likes of Netflix and Sky Sports.. If not done right, they'll lose even more customers to the rise of more illegitimate sources, which now get premium Astro content far easier than before. We all know that unlike in the UK recently, proper enforcement in Malaysia is a joke. More so when these illegal providers are backed by some big shots. So all in all.. If cost and control permits? We'll see it. Else, ride the wave.

Some of us have no choice. If i could get job in UK or EU i would live there but over there now theres quite a lot of racism and incompetence in hiring the right person for the job. Technical jobs always get the wrong people because the ones looking and HR managers have no clue about technical. HR incompetence is a global problem.

I myself i make really good android apps, so if IPTV companies want they can approach me if they want the best quality apps, but they wont because my CV isnt shiny or im probably not chinese and that im not working for them. I make sure my apps run well on downclocked phones at the frequencies that you wouldnt believe.

I've seen both astro and tm apps. Problem with TM is that you cant watch the basic channels online (tv1-tv9).

Securing said streams, extremely easy. If not by kodi can be done via own apps, however many programmers are simply brainless or noobs and im not joking about this. I have 2 very simple rules when making good software, 1) no frameworks, do the damn code yourself otherwise your software will be bloated, 2) same thing, dont use external libraries, use only what the programming language provides so programming language libraries are ok, but not external 3rd party libraries.

Cheap fast internet connection is easy.
1) provide more PPPOE gateways per area (in the UK my ISP had 4 in the area, everywhere in malaysia has only 1 gateway per large area. I live near a tm building and yet only see 1. )
2) ditch dlink, they are costing us loads of money by exposing us so others collect our data and hack us and are unreliable and insecure pieces of crap hardware.
3) use a GPON/SFP box that only converts GPON to ethernet. For VOIP, have a proper multi port VOIP box that connects to ethernet. This is because the modems given arent very reliable since they can overheat too (personal experience with tm).

I myself i use mikrotik as my router and asus as my wifi AP on. Very reliable and only the modem is the issue.

Too much irrelevant ranting. Still all these companies are welcome to hire me to improve their service.

Offtopic a bit

Just like the bolded part said, do the ground work yourself if you want job, you want recognition. Nobody gonna give you what you want first before you can prove yourself. You must have something to prove your capabilities, a portfolio of sort.

I already got a job here. Just saying i feel like many here need to learn to do things properly. Its just in UK and EU they arent likely to hire you unless you are citizen.

checkout

Ya, many here want the job but never prove themselves first that they can handle the job.

Hiring a foreigner is complicated, not just in eu or uk. Usually people avoid going this route.

Still im willing to go out of my way to help these companies actually make proper apps if they wish, so far not one has contacted me so im gonna advertise via what im working on, because its actually necessary to co operate with all these utility and entertainment companies later for my work. I dont mind teaching if they wanna keep their current employees but they gotta start doing things properly.

Programming isnt about writing code, its about math and logic.
Problem in the UK is that all they know are permanent resident, citizen and visa. They dont know what ROA is otherwise i'd already have a job there. So im not considered a foreigner there according to immigration, and i do get to use the local passport lane at the airport but as far as the people there are concerned im a foreigner.

Same answer for making proper apps or getting UK companies to hire a person with roa, they don't know such option exist or there's a person that can give such solution. You have to hard sell yourself if you want it.

This is my last reply on this topic since already too long off topic.

I get so many offers, but no response. Hence to them i look good.

Alright folks.. Let's get back on topic.
