That often asked question , what box.

I currently have shield on which I use an app to watch IPTV , I switched from enima a couple of years ago when the "sat" scene died for me.

The one big disappointment has always been the lack of a good skin that enhanced epg like I used to always use ( kiddac of course).

I stayed away from enigma because , as well as live tv , I have my own movies and tv shows that i can watch via plex or kodi on the shield.

Since I have been out of the loop for a while , is there an enigma box that supports a stable plex or kodi plug ins ?

Itching to get back to enigma skin , but the ability to play my own "vod" is a deal breaker for me.

cheers.

Had a ZgemmaH9s and before that an I55. But that H9s , only 1g ram , 10/100 ethernet and usb2. I would like better specs than that. Most of the videos and reviews on YT are german, but from what I have seen , the dual boot boxes take ages to close down and reboot when swapping from E2 to Android. So , given I don't use a sat' , really would want E2 for IPTV and a stable kodi plugin if possible. I remember the old dreamplex and a previous kodi plugin that were both very unstable , but things will have moved on since then ?

Once again thank you , looking at those Zgemma's , the kodi support is definitely what I am looking for , although the boxes are all , limited to 1g ram , 10/100 ethernet and usb2 ports. If I can't find a box with better spec that has the same kodi support , I'll purchase from your sponsor thanks.

Just an update on this. I purchased a Zgemma H9se , arrived today , all set up with a nice sky type skin , which love. Purchased this box with reservations regarding kodi , because of 1gb ram . After searching extensively I could only find one other box with kodi support and 2gb ram. However it is a combo and the reviews are off-putting about how the box has to power off and reboot to swap back and forth between enigma and android . That's a definite no go as a user experience.

Sure enough , the Zgemma , is seriously under gunned when using kodi. streaming from my own server in the same room to the box , it can't handle 1080 or even 720 smoothly , freezes , kodi crashes and box switches back to live tv. Which is pretty much what I expected and why I asked about higher specs. For what it cost am happy to keep because i really like the custom live tv interface.

Until some one comes up with a more powerful E2 box that supports either kodi or plex , I will just have to use a firestick in one of the other ports on the TV for VOD.

Yes , I fully agree , 4k stick will do me for kodi , I can mess about creating my own skin etc. Been a few years since I used E2 , had forgotten exactly how good the LIVE TV skins look , so am well happy to use the Zgemma for tv only.
