I've installed OpenELEC/Kodi 14.2 on my Asus Chromebox M004U, and an odd thing is going on when I browse files on my NAS via SMB. When I select a folder that contains a video file, there is a 10-15 second "freeze" before the menu goes into that folder. It only happens if there's a video file in a folder, however. Any ideas?

Would you please recommend me a system that would primarily be used for streaming IPTV? It would primarily be used by my parents, so I don't mind a difficult setup as long as the actual usage would be simple. Low cost would also be a huge plus.

Are you trying to watch local Portuguese-language soccer highlights and the BBC World Service? If not, "IPTV" may not be the magic bullet you're hoping for.

Is FireTV a pretty solid XBMC box for the money? Right now I have my entertainment center connected to my main PC via a lengthy, wall routed HDMI cable. I am moving into a new house in a little over a month and rather than mess around with all that again off the bat I bought the FireTV to install XBMC on and connect over the network to my PC, I've never streamed content over Wifi with XBMC before, but I was just given a crazy AC1900 wrt router and want to go all wireless. I assume with a stout enough signal Wireless-N will be fine streaming content over my network up to 1080p? Actually does the FireTV secretly support wireless AC?

It should be solid as long as you have the host PC plugged into Ethernet. My Fire TV is on wifi and I've streamed a 20 GB Blu-Ray remux without any issue.

PseudoTV Live Manager used to let me do it (which was good, because PseudoTV is my main reason for wanting to gently caress with them) but it borked and won't load my database anymore, there's another weird French library manager that also wouldn't read my database properly, and while WIMM reads my poo poo it lets me edit everything but the genres.

Worked perfectly for me this weekend, incidentally. Went from 13.1 to 14.2 on Windows without a hitch. Install was smooth, all my media was there, all the thumbnails and data migrated, and all I had to do was install an updated version of my skin and tweak a couple settings.

I recently picked up a FireTV and I love it, but when I try to stream 1080p content in Kodi from my Raspberry Pi NAS it buffers like crazy. Both the Amazon and the pi are hard-wired into my modem/router combo (supplied by my provider). Would hooking everything up to my previous router (Linksys E3000) help? Or is there some sort of optimization I can do on either device?

Also be sure to go settings -> KODI -> Video -> Acceleration and disable MediaCodec. I've had weird stuttering issues when that was enabled.

So I got the FireTV today and loaded Kodi into it and setup my addons and such. Then I was going through with Llamma trying to get Kodi to show up on the homescreen by launching it when I select another app (i used ikonoTV and also ClassicTV apps) however it doesn't seem to work, it just ends up loading the ikono or classic app. I've looked over numerous sites and they all say to do the same thing to ( http://sideloadfiretv.com/add-kodi-xbmc-icon-to-fire-tvs-home-screen/ ) and everyone says it works, but I can't get it going. It says you don't need the FTV rooted for it to work either. Anyone have any idea? edit: I used adbfire to do it initially and it changed the icon for ClassicTV to the Kodi one for me, the event in llamma is properly setup based on all the sites I've looked at for manually doing it and I've tried the automated way using import info from adbfire too. And just like every other time I post a question I figure it out almost immediately. Turned out there was a FTV firmware update to some weird 51.510101 something firmware that didn't show up after initial setup. Went through that and then afterwards setup the llamma conditions again and it works great now. Only thing I am having trouble with is logging into Showtime Anytime, but I think that is their service since it keeps giving me some dumb error about my previous session timed out and to login again, even though that's what I am doing. Edit2: Also as a test I ran a 1080p movie over my poo poo wireless signal at work and playback was perfect so here's hoping I have no issues with my 600+ movie library! thebushcommander fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Apr 16, 2015 |

^^^ "Buy" it on Amazon. Sideload xbmc as normal. Run xbmc at least once (you'll probably have to do it from the app info screen). Xbmc should now show up in your list of recent items. It's worked for me on both a regular firetv and a stick.speedtek posted:I recently picked up a FireTV and I love it, but when I try to stream 1080p content in Kodi from my Raspberry Pi NAS it buffers like crazy.

g0del posted:Unless you've successfully streamed the same file to another computer on your network, I'm going to blame the pi nas. Raspberry Pis are wonderful little machines, but they shouldn't be used as a NAS. A NAS needs good I/O bandwidth for both storage and network, and a Pi has neither. I forgot to mention, I am coming from a full-blown HTPC that streamed everything from the Pi just fine.

What folder are you trying to move, thumbnails or something? You can push an entire folder via ADB by specifying the destination, just use the command line. Most of the Fire tools have an option to load a CLI window after connection or just do it by hand. adb push FolderName /sdcard/FolderName I forget the location of Kodi on there but I'm sure you can google that and move the files where they're supposed to be, setup advancedsettings.xml and all that.

When you export your video library, it gives you a folder with an xml file and subfolders with all the thumbnails and stuff. I pushed just the xml file to the userdata folder but couldn't find it to import it, so I thought maybe I needed the whole folder.

All you need to get MySQL working is the advancedsettings.xml file in the userdata folder. Well, that and a properly functioning MySQL database, of course.

So I'm poking around and apparently there's some sort of black magic that allows one to add shows to my libary from streaming plugins (In my instance Crunchyroll Take-out specifically) as if they were actual physical files. Something about .strm files or something but I can't find anything that isn't a word soup about it. Edit: Got it. This is something of a small boon for me; To explain, I used pseudolibrary which uses a user defined listing to generate the .strm files and those take the place of a theoretical video file and in kodi uses those files to point to the plug in and play it like a normal stream. It works a treat for most plug ins so if you follow a series on YouTube it's pretty easy to integrate it into your library. Only downside is that it doesn't name the .stem files into a library readable format but that's what filebot is for. ConanThe3rd fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Apr 26, 2015 |

The Nexus Player is $68.43 today at Amazon. How does Kodi perform on it? Will it perform better than the Acer Revo 1600 (Ion 280 cpu)? Will it perform pretty close to a Core 2 Duo system?

I would just suck it up and get the $99 Fire TV, it's the best hardware on the market for Kodi bar none. It costs $30 more and has a better remote. And comes with a free month of Prime. I have yet to feed that thing a video that it couldn't play at full FPS with zero jitter including some insane 20 GB 1080p video.

Kodi is flawless on NP as well, and it has Chromecast support. Fire TV remote does look better though, not sure about $30 better. But some appreciate how simple the NP remote is.

Does the NP have an ethernet jack? My HDHomerun Prime spews out Mpeg2 and it utterly crushes most devices. Most don't even have codecs to allow HW decoding.

No ethernet on NP. Not sure about Amazon and 5.1. While I do love my Nexus Players, I did have one hooked up to my projector and it looked like dogshit, so I went back to my HTPC. Looks okay on my TVs, but not blown up huge. Strange.

Can you use USB OTG with the Fire TV? I probably won't use the Fire TV or the NP remote... I also should have clarified that by "performance" I mostly meant the performance of the interface. My Acer Revo HTPC's performance in menus and whatnot is significantly worse than my Core 2 Duo HTPC. Nowadays, just about anything can play the 1080p mkvs people obtain from places.
