Tried this, didn't work for my Himedia, post#2 did work

Icdrama OK ma, got 1080p option

Hi sifus,

Which addon did you all use to watch movie with all the below without buffering issues:

1. DTS / Dolby 5.1
2. 1080p and above

Or did you all actually save the movie to storage and play them later? I notice Exodus movies section only offers 1080p but not DTS or Dolby..

Which subtitle u mentioned above is the best?

icdrama having problem... either not loading or buffering indefinitely

I'm not sure if you guys have come across with Project M addons. It's got 4K, Dolby Digital, DTS 5.1 contents. 4K streaming very smooth and the sounds are great too!
It's under Merlin repo:

Merlin repo

but not so much movie content.. 3d movie also can.. great! now i can utilize my tv

updated on my Quasar. It seem after I updated to Krypton it worked again like a charm!    

thank you for this tip on sanctuary.

after playing around a bit more..

.. merlin project m 4k and santuary pandorabox 4k - NO good. i think the integrity of the links are compromised, too heavy buffering, whatever u do.

.. sanctuary silent hunter 4k is GOOD! very limited selection, though.

.. those files are all 8-15 gb, 25/30mbps can handle them.

.. can see from the streaming bar that at that speed, it is just enough to do it.

.. unclear if advancedsettings.xml is helping. no harm doing it but please do yr math and not blindly create the xml.

.. good with android 5.1; 4.4 no good.

.. full 90 min "4k" movie tested on my 4k smart android tv 5.1 with 500mb free ram - all smooth, great vibrant colors.

(and there are people still saying 4k tv is a waste of time! )

those who have the right devices and broadband, try it!

what device, what tv?

yr box can't do quasar and popcorn time well.

becos they are torrent based, need a lot of storage.

yr box 16gb is partitioned... after all that's put in there, left with 2-3gb only, too small to work well with those.

but can try setting the file storage to an ext hdd.

can't remember all the details...

kodi can use backdoor. u just need to create path to point the system to store the data/addon to sd card. it will solve your problem if u have low internal. but make sure u have HC sd card or the loading will be slow

Popcorn addon in kodi?

Popcorn app 2.9 for android and popcorn 1.4 for androidtv both work well.
