Just installed Kodi 17.1. somehow i am having trouble setting it up. is it really different interface compared to jarvis? I know with Jarvis if I install tvaddons repo, all the good stuffs like exodus already shows on the bottom. this one it doesn't. is it normal?

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Mar 25 2017, 02:35 PM) diff display, slightly diff navigation but is really the same. Thanks, yes I am really not used to other interface setup aside from the normal one from Jarvis. Got tvaddons installed now. Any idea how I can get local channels?if u installed tvaddons repo, u will get them. likely u r not used to navigating in a slightly diff manner. just play with it a bit more, u will get used to it. 3d is only available with addons that offer them, not all addons.  |

QUOTE(voncrane @ Mar 26 2017, 06:00 AM) See page one.. It's been updated with addons that contain such. Thanks guys! That is really helpful. I noticed that now im now able to watch elementary season 4 in kodi krypton unlike how i used to with jarvis. I was actually doing a marathon with it and everything goes well except now that its almost unplayable. It buffers a lot. I noticed that when i play it with jarvis before it buffers but with krypton if i pause it, i dont notice it buffers. Also if using browser i am able to watch it. I believe so too.. Page 1 has been updated for easier access. Thanks. On a side note, would it help if i upgrade my router ? Im using the 10mbps router that came with my timedotcom and they said i should get their 100mbps as they have upgraded my bandwidth. Is the d-link dir-850l that they recommend good enough?

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Mar 26 2017, 03:14 PM) u notice right - in jarvis, u see how much has been buffered; in krypton, u don't see the buffer but only the cache ready to play. yes i noticed in Jarvis that the buffering is shown but not in Krypton. I'm using Exodus which was auto-setup by installing tvaddons. I don't have problems with watching movies even at 1080p but i'm surprised it happens when I watch using tv series like masterchef australia or Elementary. I would have thought this was due to the sources but then again it works fine with browser(it still buffers once in a while). i've been wanting to try quasar as well.what addon u use to watch tv shows? 100mbps will do u wonders, get the best stuff from kodi. with 50mbps, i can already get tv 2-5gb tv shows and 10-20gb movies with quasar. assuming the right devices and set up, of course. router... i suggest u read this section, check the most popular ones, ask questions if required: https://forum.lowyat.net/NetworksandBroadband |

QUOTE(voncrane @ Mar 26 2017, 07:04 PM) To obtain best results, an upgrade to 100Mbps + a good ac gigabit Ethernet router will greatly assist. This is by far the best advise. thank you. looks like i'll be on the hunt to get a new router then.Yup.. Do not expect any changes or mods from the Kodi devs. Explanation is on the first page... Either get a compatible device or hope your current device will be updated and fully compatible. |

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Mar 28 2017, 10:03 AM) 100mbps + new router... Haha. I wish I could. Don't have enough money for the 4k TV hence I only have Kodi on my laptop. I've been considering getting an Android TV box but I find it quite worthless(perhaps someone would prove me wrong). if u really want good stuff, get ready to replace other equipment too - new device, new 4kTV, new AVR! no end to spending money.  |

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Mar 29 2017, 09:38 AM) it's good that u start kodi on laptop/pc. So TV box is better than a laptop? I got my laptop hooked up to my TV.good learning, no extra cost. but when u get into the bigger and more varied usage, a laptop is not the most efficient or convenient. a good box can do a lot more than just kodi and which cannot be done on a laptop. that is assuming u will watch videos on a tv rather than on a mobile device. |
