fraz65 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 I've subscribed to sportsmania and tried to use it to watch the Killie game last night. The Kodi stream stated that it was in SD but seemed to be HD so wouldn't stream on my computer. I've got broadband but it's not as fast as i'd like. Is there any way to change the kodi stream to a lower definition or speed up my broadband stream or should I just change to a different broadband provider? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 The source of the stream might be an HD channel, but the actual resolution probably wasn't. In any case, you generally can't change it - the only alternative is to try a different stream. With some add-ons you see a bitrate in KBps per sec - the higher the figure, the higher the picture quality, but the faster your broadband will need to be. Your broadband speed depends on lots of things - if it's 'normal' broadband, then it depends on how far you are from the exchange, how good the wiring is in your house and your provider. With fibre, there are less issues as even the slowest package should be more than fast enough to stream games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Here in rural France, I get 4Mbps. A guy three kilometres down the road gets 17Mbps. Go figure. In my case streaming =buffering. We've been promised fibre in ten years. I'll be dead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to the settings on your add on then you can configure it so it only streams in whatever quality you desire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I've tried that but still can't stream games. Tried again with the Scotland game tonight but it doesn't work. All of the channels work fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bute-killiefan Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I downloaded Kodi on the advice of a pal, got the moneysports add on and it worked fine the first time I used it. Tried it the other night and it wouldnt connect. I uninstalled and re-installed the add on and only get one channel, some mad Euro-Sport channel that shows figure-skating. Any help? I'm bamboozled by the whole thing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm bamboozled by the whole thing Watch YouTube videos on installing add on's. Its pretty straightforward . Did it come preloaded? Try downloading the following add ons; castaway - sport exodus -films/tv phoenix - films/tv/sport UK Turk - films/tv/sport 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitanColumbo Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I've got a few add ons which work fine for me, however Mrs C is complaining she can't find anything. Anyone know of decent build that will work, as last 2 I've had to scrub and do over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 That is just the way it is with these streams. Someone develops a new add-on (or gets sources for streams), it gets popular and struggles, or gets shut down. Someone else then develops a new add-on (or gets sources for streams).......... You could try the paid add-ons - perhaps get a pre-paid credit card to cover your back though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitanColumbo Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I'm using Phoenix, Exodus, SALTS, cozmix(?) and Zemtv. However she finds it a pain in the arse to trapse through menus. Some builds I have seen have the links on the front page for movies. I tried the "power" build which looked amazing, but it kept crashing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKillie Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Anyone know the score with Genesis for TV/Film? Will work sometimes and other times just flat out refuses to work and pull streams for anything. Using Exodus as a replacement right now but Genesis was sound.

CLANCY2KTID Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Genesis is now defunct, Exodus is the replacement from the same people. So far I would say Exodus is much more reliable than Genesis ever was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merk Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 I very seldom using anything other that Phoenix. To be fair I don't watch a lot of sport on it, it is mostly movies, but on Sunday I watched the Old Firm game and a chunk of the Arsenal game and it was fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 See all these paid add-ons... why would anybody get involved in any transaction with somebody they can't know or trust? This throws up all sorts of reliability, technical and privacy issues. While it might be a bit of hassle trying to find reliable streams, these things aren’t meant to be easy and free at the same time. Sports streams are legally enforced much stronger than other streams, and for that reason they’re highly unreliable. Instead of paying some fly-by-night that’s going to run with your money, why not just pay for Sky? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangodog Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Anybody tried Halow Live TV ? Watched the Celtic game last night until they went 3-0 up and was watching the Ventspilis v Aberdeen game just now. Both decent quality and plenty of other games on tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
