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!)

Thanks voncrane
I was about to do it manually and realize two challenges:
1) without an air mouse & keyboard, manually typing / searching for the repo and stuff is a real PAIN
2) lack of clear understanding on what exactly to do with repo's and add-ons (especially since they expire and can't be used indefinitely)

I am new to both the smart TV (sharp UE630X) and this Kodi stuff - so I do require all the help I can get.

Maybe you guys can give your suggestions on:
1) which air remote/mouse you guys use
2) the build that you guys find good for movies/series & documentaries & news

do u have an android box or just the sharp smart tv?

if just the tv, try using both remotes to navigate. conventional mouse may not work due to the apps tailored to the smart tv, not a generic box.

if u r just starting with androids, it will be diff to get kodi into yr tv (well, easy for those who already know kodi).

see, the smart tv is meant to just install the apps and play.

kodi is special, a platform, need to key in a lot of stuff for a good build.
but, don't give up. try to build it yrself slowly. for a start, try these:

superepo - this is a great repo, enable a few addons that u have read people talk about.
http://srp.nu
adriansupertv - some links no longer work, but some still work.
http://teamavengers.net23.net/AdrianSuper/repo
*
I don't have a box, only installed the Kodi on the UE630X, and I can open and navigate through the Kodi fine.

Which air remote do you use? I'm thinking of getting the A2 - does that come with a USB receiver to plug at the USB port of the TV?

I will prefer going with a Build because of high learning curve in installing repos and selecting the addons - which one will you recommend?

Lastly, can you share what settings I will need to do for Kodi, i.e what is the known good practices?

How to identify that electrical in same phase or not?  Any advice

short answer: look at the fuses on your tnb meter outside your house wall - if only one fuse (small rectangular black box) then you have a single phase.

hi guys,

Quick question: Anyone using either the official android remote for Kodi OR the Yatse on their phones?

I would like to know if it is possible to use them both if I do not have an android box. i.e, I am using Kodi directly on my android TV and without a STB.

Just came across this, anyone using?
Downloaded zip onto a USB.
Plug in USB into Tv box
Start KODI
Go to System
Go to settings
Go to add-on
Go to Install from Zip file
Go to thumb drive
See "plugin.video.oblivionStream" and click it
*
Are you using any DNS or VPN app? It will not stream for me, suspect maybe blocking my IP


Will be helpful if you guys can list addons (News and Sports) that do not require VPN/DNS ?

no need vpn or fancy dns.

plugin in installedd successfully and yet not play?

or failed to install the plugin?
*
Plugin installed.

In fact, after installing some repo and when I try to unzip them, nothing happens.. no pop up or box to show it is done or not

I wonder if this is due to running Kodi directly from my Sharp UE630x smart TV?

Hi guys, quick question please

This is what I have found online for the Location of sources of the repo (.zip's) for:

quasar: http://fusion.tvaddons.ag
oblivion iptv: http://oblivionbuilds.com/repo

Facing a Problem after I add source successfuly:
When I go back to system>settings>Add-ons, I don't see those sources that I had input earlier in the add source area. Which means i cannot install from zip

Maybe my source is wrong?

thanks guys

For movies & series, which .apk DOES NOT use a torrent platform?

I have not used showtime anytime, popcorn & showbox - i believe all three of them use a torrent platform?

no.

only popcorntime. and quasar in kodi.

for these, there is a need for a lot more memory in the box (or pathed to ext).

if there is 1gb usable, can get up to 1gb files. if 10gb, get up to 10gb.

assuming yr broadband speed is good enough.

Alright

Can someone confirm that the latest popcorntime addon is this: plugin.video.kodipopcorntime.repository-1.0.0.zip

Alternatively does anyone know of a direct online address so I can add a source instead of transferring the file using USB drive.

Thanks!
