  • Happy New Year !

    I know I don't frequent these shores very often like I used to, but I am very busy doing good stuff, which is a concept that I stood by when I helped the folks on this forum. I hope your 2015 was as good as mine, and that your 2016 will be even better !!

  • Streaming TV over the network to multiple Kodi installs

    The potential of this device is amazing, and my first project after getting to grips with the thing was to get it to stream around my house. After setting up Tvheadend backend, all that is needed really is fixing the IP address of the WeTek by going to System - OpenELEC- Connections, then click on the connection, then Edit and change IPv4 IP Address Method to manual. It can also be set to static in your router.


    By this stage, you would know that the backend is working by being able to log in to it, and use it on localhost Tvheadend client.


    Here is the magic of it all - on any device where Kodi is installed (PC, Raspberry Pi, or another WeTek or similar) on your local network, just enable 'Live TV' in your Kodi settings, and enable Tvheadend HTSP Client (the option to do this should pop up automatically on enabling Live TV), and change the 'Tvheadend hostname or IP address from 127.0.0.1 to whatever the IP address is set to on the backend machine. Of course by signing up to a dynamic DNS service and forwarding a couple of ports on your router to the backend, you could easily access your tuner on the go provided you have a connection that can handle it!

  • cccam + TvHeadEnd + xbmc (Kodi)

    For Synology afaik you would need to use Oscam. It is also possible to use the Raspberry Pi as an Oscam server, infact If you are using OpenELEC XBMX/Kodi, you could try to install the OpenELEC unsupported Add-ons repo, where you will find Oscam and a PCSC client. I have never messed with a Synology so can only prod you in the right direction, and there is plenty of stuff in the Oscam section in this forum to get that set up.

  • Frodo keeps crashing

    Live TV is available on Gotham and Helix. You need to enable Live TV in System/Settings/Live TV, then you need to go to System/Settings/Add-ons, look under 'Disabled Add-ons', enable the relevant client (such as Simple Client if you are using it with IPTV streams), then set it up and reboot.

  • Adding repo sources for tonnes of addons

    Fairly straightforward way to have direct access to thousands of add-ons dirext from Kodi


    from Kodi home screen, select 'System', then from the submenu 'File manager'. You should come across a screen that has a list of locations, and at the bottom it says 'Add source' (Root A and Root B will both do the same thing).


    You get a window that pops up asking you to add file source. Here are three of the biggest source locations (fusion, xfinity and super repo), and the fourth (totalxbmc) contains an addon that enables add-on installing from the addon:


    Code
    http://fusion.tvaddons.ag
http://xfinity.xunitytalk.com
http://srp.nu
http:i.totalxbmc.tv


    Just copy and paste or type the source location underneath the heading 'Enter the paths or browse for the media locations', then in the box under the heading 'Enter a name for this media source', do just that (any name you like to identify the source). Repeat from the 'Add source' step for each location


    Once you have done that, you can browse for repositories/add-ons in the new locations by (from the home page) selecting 'System', 'Settings', 'Add-ons', 'Install from zip file'. On this page you can see the recently added sources by the names you chose for each one. Note that across these locations, many of the apps will be duplicated, but it doesn't cause any issues.

  • Digitele Sports - basically, sports devil

    Sports Devil has been taken offline, and is no longer in the common repo sources. Out of this, there seems to have emerged a ripoff that does the same thing. Of course this gives you access to lots of nice things that happen at 3pm on a Saturday, and more. Same drill, install by first downloading (don't unzip), then go to System/Settings/Add-ons/Install from zip file, then browse for the location.

  • super addon iptv thousands of channels

    This addon is actually the dog's balls, installing to XBMC/Kodi is easy as ever, just download the zip, leave zipped, then in Kodi select system/settings/addons (ensure you are at the top of the tree when you are in addons)/Install from zip file - then just browse to where you saved the zip.

  • Usb hard drive?

    I had a problem with ViX recognising my 2.5" drive. With ViX you have to install drivers if the file format is not the ext format that is usual for a linux system. If there are any drivers in your plugin feeds for ntfs and and exfat try installing these and then mount your drives. If you still have issues, then try a different lead. I once had a problem where certain Mini USB leads were not working. Make sure you use the original USB lead that came with your drive. I know you have BH, so not sure if the file formats are already set up but if not there are probably drivers to help with this.

  • Iptv list updater

    any receiver that is not Mipsel architecture such as this one will never have all the plugins working - best way is to try them - bear in mind that some of the packaged ipk files will not work as they detect that they may not be supported. You can unpack the ipk files and place the resulting files in your plugins directory and they may still work.

  • hyperion v3 WIFI problem

    I take it the WiFi device is supported and is based on the chipset in which you are installing the driver for? Reboot after installation, have a look in your network settings to see if it is there and gives you the option to enter SSID and key. You would be better off getting a wireless bridge - this will definitely work.
