Not been on this thread in a while and i've noticed a couple more vids on the opening page (or am i imagining things?)
I've gone through the vid to stop buffering which is great but do I need this Acestreams installing? Whats it for ? Better quality streams? More reliable?

I've got about 6 devices in our house with this build on so I need to know how much time I'll have to put aside lol

Acestream is p2p, kind of like torrenting so it does come with a bit of risk, I recommend using a VPN just to be 100% sure

You can usually get really good quality and less buffering with acestream but the downside is that there aren't as many links for the smaller games :)
 
Is there much difference in performance with say a firetv stick and a fire tv box using this?

Only ask because sometimes the fire to stick is a bit slow and struggles sometimes with live streams. Wondered if it's better to have a fire tv box for it instead and use the stick upstairs

My understanding is the box is more stable as it's connected to the router via Ethernet cable where as the stick is wifi. Personally though if you are going to spend £70ish on a fire TVs box i would be tempted to invest a little more on a Zgemma or the like.

It depends on the streams a lot also, have you tried private ones and they have struggled along with public ones?
 
Kodi loaded and running today for first time. BUT when I went to switch laptop on later it is locked in black screen with cursor. It is a glitch in Windows 10. I cannot understand any of the help tutorials to sort it. I cannot get any menu etc just black screen and cursor. HELP?

Kodi would definitely run smoother on it mate, but as @TCIB pointed out public streams aren't always necessarily stable and a supercomputer wouldn't fix buffering if it's the stream providers fault :)

I can't update my kodi version. I'm on 14.2 but when I try to update it says not installed as package of the same name exists

Edit. Done thanks to @prestonibbo_mcfc. Top man.

Is this on Kodi or just windows itself mate? I'm willing to help you out but if you post in the tech support section you'll likely get even more help :)

I think it is a Windows problem not kodi. The screen is locked on a black screen with cursor and reading on Microsoft website this has happened to others on Windows 10. Turning it on and off, Ctl + del+. Alt. Etc does nothing.

Definitely post this in the tech support forum bud, you'll likely get a lot of support in there; I'll do a bit of research bud :)
 
Received my nvidia shield to the other day, put Kodi on runs like a dream, very fast streaming, going to look into get IPTV for it £100 for the year, can't grumble at that just need to school the wife in how to use it, bloody useless woman.
