Wearing Lions gear when it wasn't cool
I need to read up on this piff and get with it.
There isn't much videos of xbmc on it but, i'm thinking bout getting that amazon fire tv soon. It sounds like it's the best/fastest xbmc box on the market today. Those specs, that price .You can sideload official apps like netflix, and games like the walking dead/dreamcast emulator. It's like having the best of both worlds (r kelly voice). It's early in it's lifecycle but man, just give it a couple more months. By then it should be rooted, have usb external hdd support and all that good stuff.
get the superepo: Install SuperRepo using only a keyboard | SuperRepo.org
you can download the zip and install it to, as well as extracting it then ssh it to your xbmc.
it basically has everything
A list of must have, and backup addons
1. GoTV - Most reliable addon for tv shows in xbmc. Auto-play works (faster than the competition), and it has HD playback (720p) unlike 1channel. If you subscribe/add tv shows to your library, USE THIS ADDON.
2. GoMovies - Most reliable addon for movies in xbmc. Like GoTV, auto-play works (faster than the competition), and it has HD playback (720p) unlike 1channel. I'm not sure about 1080p, i'll have to check. If you add movies to your library, USE THIS ADDON ** and use the repository in the parenthesis (My Repository) because the guy who made GoTV/GoMovies updates his repo from time to time, and if you don't have his most up to date repo, you won't get the latest updates for his addons (superepo doesn't update his addons anymore)
3. iStream - This addon can do everything GoTV/GoMovies can do and has an live tv and live sports list, but sometimes auto-play is , and when it's not it still doesn't load tv shows or movies as fast as GoTV/GoMovies does. So why have this addon other than to keep it as a backup? The main reason to have this addon is because say for example a new episode of walking dead or game of thrones went off two minute ago. This shyt will have hella links for it in maybe ten, fifteen minutes for sure (HD links may take a few more minutes tho). Just last saturday i missed orphan black, i was literally watching it on iStream fifteen minutes after it aired (No commercials nikka was finished by eleven). If this was GoTV it would not have the newest episode of your show until hours later. So iStream is perfect for people who want to knock out new episodes real quick before going to sleep/ getting up for whatever you got to do early in the morning.
*TIP: As i said, auto-play is , so don't use it. Turn it off in settings, and choose from the list of links. Also i wouldn't subscribe/add to library using iStream. Just search for the show you want to watch that just aired, and watch it. GoTV will automatically add the episode in your library later.
4. Youtube (Not that other one called Youtube channels) - Not because you can search for youtube videos, but because it has a catagory with all your youtube subscriptions as well. You can subscribe to a channel from xbmc, or subscribe on another device. Your subscriptions list will be updated on the fly in xbmc which ever way you do it. One of the channels you're subscribed to just uploaded a video? No fukkin problem this addon has it instantly. I'm on the raspberry pi hooked up to my tv, i queue up a bunch of new breakfast club interviews and like it was a actual network channel. If your subscription list ain't showing up use the youtube fix in a addon called Xunity Maintenance..........
5. MashUp - Don't use this addon to search for tv shows and movies (Remember just do that in GoTV/GoMovies when subscribing/adding to your library, or iStream to watch new episodes right after they've aired). Use this addon for live tv/streams. The list is especially k1m05's (some things are down but it's still piff). I always watch Raw/Backstage pass, WWE/Boxing PPV's live with this addon.
6. Navi X - It's down now, but it should be working by the end of this month. Had the best live tv/streams, and the most live tv/streams before it went down. If it has the same users (such as porkie's playlist) with updated list when it's back up, then . MashUp would turn into a backup addon.
7. Watch Wrestling - For wrestling heads it has all the wwe shyt like the newest raw, smackdown, nxt, superstars, main event, and total divas not long after they air. It has roh, and tna as well. I almost forgot, it has a Attitude Era category to (every raw, smackdown, and ppv from 1997-2002).
8. Vevo TV - Great Music Video Addon.
9. Pandora - Great Music Addon If you have a pandora account.
10. TV Show Next Aired - if you watch shows that take random ass breaks some weeks, this addon is a must. It lets you know when all of the shows in your library is going to air.
11. 1Channel - iStream, GoTV, and GoMovies has all the links 1channel has and more. You don't need this addon. but keep it as a backup addon just in case. Also it's great if you tryna find old movies and shows.
12. F.T.V - Live tv/stream addon. The list is alright (basic channels like cw, nbc, abc). Keep it in case a stream is down in MashUp, or Navi X
13. Free PPV (courtesy of OSS) - This addon is for ppv streams, not live tv/streams. So whenever a boxing, wwe, ufc, concert etc is coming on, CHECK THIS ADDON FIRST because it's not as crowded as MashUp and Navi X. For example, the mayweather fight came on recently, i checked k1m05 in MashUp first. I clicked on the fight and it had like nine links in which only two worked. Right before the main event match came on i checked on Free PPV, and it only had two links, and one of them worked (it was perfect, no buffering, damn near hd quality). So save some time and check this addon first.
14. XBMCtorrent - If a movie leak this will be one of, if not the first addon that will have it first. It has KickAssTorrents, PirateBay, and other torrent sites. I've personally never used it because torrents i ain't tryna get no notice from my isp. I never heard of that happening with this addon but for now, it's just a backup addon, only time i would use it is in a dire situation (has something i can't find anywhere else).
As for skins:
Aeon MQ5 - The most popular skin, not for devices like apple tv 1/2, or raspberry pi. Should be fine on a Amazon Fire TV though.
Amber - My favorite skin
XTV (based on apple tv)- Fastest skin i've ever used, but not as pretty as quartz which is also an apple tv skin.
