Firestick kodi sportsdevil

[Danith]

I hate this thing it's absolutely s**t!!!!

Trying to watch the Leicester game and it's having none of it.

Freshly installed, right version (jarvis) and now all it does is freeze or say Web request failed.

Before I throw it out the window any advice?

Sacked it off and watching on plus1hd which isn't free but is reliable. Can i get plus1hd on my TV through the firestick?

Phoenix keeps stuttering then kicking me out. So w**k.

Cheers for reply tho

Works fine on my skysports

Hope that helps


I nearly launched my firestick through the window yesterday. I tried to catch the 2nd half of the stoke game and gave up trying to get it work at 16:40

I'm yet to be completely convinced by them to be honest. Maybe I'm not technically minded enough to keep on top of it, or I just can't be arsed.

Exactly. Cba.

Films are just about bearable

 

[Daz...]

I stuck kodi on my mums firestick and she loves it for watching films.

They are noticeably slower than on something more powerful though.

I'll be buying the box and paying the £50 annual subscription fee. My mate has it and everything is perfect. You don't even have to search for streams, just select the game and it runs flawlessly and in HD. A lot of the movies are in 4k.

Currently got the firestick but since Xmas its been awful and so unreliable.

Sounds good to me - which box is that?

I need to get more details off him, but I'd assume it's this one

Does it have all films and footie matches tho? Or just what sky/bt get

 

[Stay Puft]

Just get an app on an iPad etc.

Everything

 

[Danith]

Everything

Keep me informed please mate!

ZemTv addon is pretty decent for the sport channels. No HD but it's still a watchable stream and it rarely buffers, for me anyway.

Bulldog streams is not too bad also, have taken over from Robocop. Try the 'test' streams, HD ones buffer too much. Sportsdevil is utterly useless for the football, that's where you're going wrong.

Save yourself the price of the box and put the subscription on your stick, will do the same job. It's the paid addon that's got everyrhing, not the box.

What do you get with that @riz?

Im pretty handy with kodi but not heard much about any of the paid addons.
Are they reliable / secure?

Used to be great for sport on njm, bulldog, turks but its all gone a bit south since the whole world jumped on it.

 

[glowworm105]

Mobdro was/is pretty good , I'm not sure if its still available though , the app for android devices worked well

UK Turks was mint when I first got mine

 

[LeeRS]

Yeah, basically ehat has happened is a group of people knicked all the links and made new addons using other peoples work.
Everything got shut down for a week or so untill the devs made new encryption so it couldnt happen again.
Everything seems to be back up and running now although i struggled with ive streams today for the football.

Is a bit hit and miss but it is free i suppose.
Just gets annoying when you want to watch something live and it doesnt work.

Films are flawless on it though.
Exodus has pretty much everything in full hd now. Thats all i use it for now tbh.

 

[riz]

Pay for a subscription and you have everything. Can watch on ios or add a repo to kodi to watch on there

 

[Jay.S]

Sportsdevil is w**k.

Depending who your internet provider is they block the vpn. Try cosmix or Phoenix instead.

 

[bampot]

Cosmix is another I use, forgot about that one.

Between Cosmix, Bulldog and ZemTv (Mona, Sport365, uktvnow and Pv2 sports from the list) can usually find a watchable stream for the sports channels when the football is on.

Use AresFootball for highlights/full match, they get put up pretty quickly after the game has finished.

If it's a popular game you won't find any decent streams on Kodi, just too many people trying to access it at once.

I watched Spurs throw their toys out the pram last night using one of the addons I listed above, albeit wasn't in HD but it was perfectly watchable and never buffered once.

HTH.

I did consider this, but I find my firestick to be a bit sluggish and slow to start up, I'd imagine the box would be a lot quicker. With the option for 4k too, I might just go for the box.

Those raspberry pi 3 are meant to be decent. Havnt a clue how they work though.

Yeah I know what you mean. That was one of the first things I noticed when I first plugged it in, how sluggish it was and that was even before I put Kodi on it. I'd like to try a box to see what it's like.

Need to make sure the TV is upto scratch, IIRC some sets have been sold as 4K but they can't put out the frame rate to give a watchable 4K picture.
In essence you could view a picture in 4K but not really watch a movie.

 

[R3k1355]

Also isn't the main provider of 4K content (at the moment) Netflix???
little bit of humble pie if Amazon are shipping a 4K Fire box for people to watch 4K Netflix on :tongueclosed::tongueclosed:

I actually thought mine was 4K....turns out its not..LOL (Panasonic Viera 55AS650).

 

[R3k1355]

Well you're not really missing out on much, don't worry.

 

[Ray Gin]

Got my Amazon box set up with the sportsmania subscription (£17 for 3 months). So far so good. Streaming SS1 HD with no issues, after altering the video acceleration settings.

 

[Marc.]

I've really fallen behind with Kodi etc. I set up Pulse but that was probably 5/6 weeks ago, and haven't updated it at all since.

 

[just-that-ek]

I can't seem to get fusion working on the new Jarvis 16.1 fs

 

[Jack!]

Raspberry Pi is so much better as a base than these Fire TV sticks.

Once Pi 2 came around, they were more than powerful enough to handle Kodi.

I have no problems with anything really, and I'm not exactly keeping on top of things.

Nvidia shield is what you want but expensive compared to what you can get as an easy alternative.
