Guys,

I wonder what is the best and cheapest way to get Kodi to run on my Tizen OS TV? Do I have to get a Chromecast or any device that has the same function?

Best and cheapest are words that more often than not, contradict each other.. However, should you be willing to put in the work.. Look into the Raspberry Pi or with less work, an Android OS powered box.

FYI, Kodi is unavailable for Samsung's Tizen OS. An external device is required.

Can you suggest any box that is out and available in the market? I thought of hooking up a laptop but my laptop boot time takes foreverrr. I have no knowledge of Rasberry Pi as I only know it as a super mini PC in a chip. An android box would be perfect but I don't know any reliable brands.

Is pipcan repo still working? tried to install versions 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 but both didn't work sad.gif

Anyone encountered buffering issues with KODI? I end up getting an error message that says "β€œCache Full: Cache filled before reaching required amount for continuous playback” Tried to clear the cache but I think that is only a temporary fix.

unsure about the repo..

What device are you running Kodi on?
*
Running it on X96 with 2gb of RAM. I cleared the cache off from the Android apps but I think it's temporary. Btw, the pipcan repo is meant for 4k streaming, any add on you can recommend to stream 4k?

What's an X96? Gonna need more than that.. Also 4k streaming, other than the likes of Netflix, YouTube & Vimeo..  is still a joke (IMO). You also have to realize that even if you have the full Internet speed required for 4K streaming, the average pure 4K file is not puny. Hence having adequate RAM & fast storage is crucial.. By creating and modifying an advancedsettings.xml file, you can manually specify (increase) the cache size.. However, for every MB allocated, Kodi requires 3x of free-to-use RAM.

I guess the 4k stream is all hype huh? Errmmm, playing with the XML doesn't sound friendly to me haha! Not also sure if my hardware can take it. I can still live with 1080p streams smile.gif thanks

I'm hesitant to upgrade Krypton on my other Android box as I heard that it "might" not work for 1gb RAM with older CPU models. Not sure if this is true but I would like to hear from those who have already made an upgrade for those users with 1gb boxes. Thanks!
