Kodi media streaming devices

And as if by magic, a day after joining Virgin I get an email saying the ccuk have seen me sharing something naughtily :lou_facepalm_2:

Time to invest in a VPN methinks.

I used to use the Wookie builds and preferred them over others.

Now Iā€™m using my own one, which is the basic Kodi with just Exodus, Phoenix, One242415 (now a seperate addon) Sportsmania and one or two others specific to my interests. The performance is significantly better than Wookie because itā€™s not packed with loads of unwanted or broken plugs ins, youā€™ll never use. I wouldnā€™t go back to an off the shelf build now.

Oh, and I whole heartedly agree with Bob about Sportsmania. For reliabilty and content itā€™s the best. Itā€™s cheap as chips. youā€™ll never look back. btw I think theyā€™ve stopped new subscriptions to SportsMania but SportsNation is exactly the same

Cheers guys, Iā€™ll give it a go.

Yep. Sportsmania +VPN. Fuck em.

Do you configure Kodi to run through a proxy or do you start your VPN when you start the computer?

Also what VPN do you use?

You streaming live porn Bob?

Iā€™ve got a Kodi Rampant Sandwich v2.10 running glorified wetware. Iā€™ve also downloaded Horseradish Coolbox for all my international sports needs and HotShitMegaThimbleTits for movies and other live events. HotShitMegaThimbleTits runs a 10x superstream capacitor and Deluge 81617 core suppy algorithm (when 8x superstream just doesnā€™t do the job). I use HaHa Fuck-U VPN software which re-routes all data via a twelve-year-old Cambodian childā€™s Amiga.

I also invested in a pre-built Whosthedaddy box but that also includes the all-singing-all-dancing Powderpuff Cheesegrater app, and I havenā€™t really found a use for it yet that justifies the bandwidth it takes up. Plus with the Whosthedaddy you have to use the Argh-Ouch VPN and there are suspicions that it contains spyware, namely Coo-E and Wotcha Do-N.

HTH

+1 I steal my content the old-fashion way. I mean, not break into peoples houses & raid their VHS collection, I watch them on stream sites like couchtuner + things.

I wonā€™t really go prison tho, will I? I figure worst will happen, if couchtuner & bt openreach grass me up, is Iā€™ll get bill for Ā£2000 of back rental or something. Or Ā£15000 if the porn companies track me down too.

Yeah, those square ones were a real bugger.

The massively popular Phoenix add on for Kodi has shut down permanently as panic spreads following the announcement of legal action against 2 addon developers in the statesā€¦ and itā€™s not just Phoenix, thereā€™s been 20+ addons to close doors this week and thatā€™s just the start. I can see them dropping like flies in the next few weeks and Iā€™d would imagine the oneā€™s left will be so in demand their servers will struggle.

I wouldnā€™t go as far as saying this is the death of unofficial kodi addons but itā€™s going to be very disruptive for a while and I think users will be spending a lot more time hunting around for working streams for movies etc.

Iā€™ll be saying my prayers for Sportsmania, Iā€™d be gutted if that went !!
