QUOTE(Ngto @ Aug 23 2016, 07:52 AM) Nowadays people just so lazy they want to be spoon-fed. IKR... Below is the first line explanation in your thread and yet they deem it too abstract, can't tell whether Kodi is Software or Hardware it seems " What is Kodi? Kodi® (formerly known as XBMC™) is an award-winning free and open source (GPL) software media center for playing videos, music, pictures, games, and more. It is developed by the Kodi Foundation, a non-profit technology consortium. Kodi runs on Linux, OS X, Windows, iOS, and Android, featuring a 10-foot user interface for use with televisions and remote controls. It allows users to play and view most videos, music, podcasts, and other digital media files from local and network storage media and the internet. Kodi is available as a native application for Android, Linux, Mac OS X, iOS, and Windows operating systems, running on most common processor architectures..................................... " QUOTE(StevenL @ Aug 23 2016, 08:14 AM) Yep.. You can delete the original zip file.. Normally, most addons require a repo (short for repository) for updates, changes etc.. So leave that installed too.. Doesn't take much space on you installation. |

It was two weeks ago I bought android TV box. My first usage of kodi was also then. But what made it simpler for first timer like me i think is rather than to go into every single stuff and learn of the addons available in kodi, just install one particular build that is the latest you can find in youtube. It will have most details sorted out for you. For me, I used the ultra TT build and so far it seems good enough.

However, if it isn't maintained and for example, an addon is broken, one still needs to be able to manually fix the broken addon.. |

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Aug 27 2016, 12:17 AM) The KODIM addon has a section specially for Local Radio stations. But the particular 'Lite FM' plays some sort of message telling listeners to go to their website.The other Radio stations I can't say whether they are what they claim because I don't listen to Radio myself. The available English Channels are as follows :- Red, Hitz, Lite (message only), Mix, Gold, Jazz, Rock, Traxx (not working). The rest are the Malay Stations and one Chinese (My FM). |

Hi guys,
1. I recently got my smart TV and have installed Kodi, now comes the daunting tasks of adding repo (repos) etc Please share your experiences to help me out as I am overwhelmed at the amount of material to read and don't know where to start. I read the earlier thread and noticed I was getting lost in between superbuildware and installing other forks etc. As I am using an Android TV, the material I read raises questions on my TV's RAM and storage space. I have a Sharp UE630X. To those using Android TVs, please do guide me. 2. Also, please note that my current setup will be absolutely basic without any NAS. However, I want to make my browsing/typing experience better on the smart TV, so can anyone suggest which wireless mouse/keyboard are you guys using? (Only spent few hours using the standard remote and have started to get annoyed already!) This post has been edited by NotTheOne: Aug 27 2016, 11:49 PM |

(Only spent few hours using the standard remote and have started to get annoyed already!) Certain apps were not designed to be used with a remote, but rather a touchscreen.. Hence your frustrations..easy fix. There are tons of keyboards and mouse combos out there. It's just a question of preference.. Prefer the traditional keyboard and mouse or an Airmouse or a Touchpad+keyboard combo? Typically, either should work. This post has been edited by voncrane: Aug 28 2016, 12:59 AM |
