    This is just a one off return (I shall not repeat).

    Really can KODI (XMBC/XBMP) really be the total solution. Yes it can but why the hell would you stream when you can just download from Idols personal vault of all good TV shows via NNTP? Sorry he is actually just a torrent boy....

    Anyway get yourself a Pi2, setup an NFS server and enjoy. You can then fanny about with the XXX channels as much as you like within TVaddons (a KODI addon)



    Meg:- I transcode to with no I-frames, I`m hard core

    Welcome back, Grimley.

    As for your post, I tend to agree. XBMC is great when you find a server offering what you want, but lacks and permanence for a variety of reasons.

    Just the one more post.... (I`m not coming back and replace my B as much as you like)

    It can work via TVaddons and a few extensions but is a pain and why would anyone really bother.

    Yes the extensions from Kodi are problematic at best. It is not a good way and I would not choose it myself to watch TV/Films/Other myself. I go only with what I could pass to my parents to use and this isn`t it ....

    The only alternative is really getting on Idols private super secret network or card sharing. Whichever works out cheaper with soul selling.





    Meg :- your evil doggy was still the best. Now you have a cute singing penguin so I am very consfused

    You need to be a fan of Adventure Time to get my joke. This will give you some idea, but what the soul-eating vampire says is true...

    The only problem with demanding everything to be perfect is that nothing really is.
    Respect my lack of authority.

    So what format do you prefer to stream or use??

    I still like to use .avi first and foremost for everyday movies, mp4 for tv series, and full action movies .TS(true BD rips 30-50gigs) or .mkv.
    All of those seem to play in anything and can be streamed without any degrading (wired not Wi-Fi).
    I am really noticing a few guys posting using .mp4 in 720 and 1080 formats with smaller files (loose sound quality)...
    And any re encode is going to have lesser quality from the true BD rip..
