Is that within Kodi?

Yeah, it's under services iirc. Think you need zeroconf switched on too, I'm not near it at the moment so just going by patchy memory.

Cool that sounds like it should be a solution anyway. Would be nice to have your library properly available in the GUI but beggars, choosers etc!

Maybe there is, I just remember using it that way before Spotify came out on Playstation.

Anyone having problems with sparkys, getting script failed error last couple of days. Tried searching online but no sign of it being mentioned.

Yeah, Sparkys is gone I think. I remember reading a tweet about it. Some chap said it was his sons project and unfortunetly he had to stop.

Yeah have also read that they were using links from UK TV Now and they have recently introduced a login requirement and since then Sparky's has been offline.

Here's the specific tweet saying it was dead - https://twitter.com/sparkyisared/status/600414059662573568

Sorry to see it go, hopefully a good replacement will come along soon!

IPTV stalker was much better than sparky anyway. Vdubt also pretty much gone now too.

what makes you say vdubt is gone or going? I was watching the BaaBaas game last night on the app with no issues.

Also seems that sparkys is back again but has been more down than up over the last few weeks

Anybody got any guides or links to creating your own add on. I'd like to create a private one to share around friends.

For general viewing

Genesis : Has everything, and more you could ever want. Selection is huge, its always updated, and never crashes.

For Saturday / Sunday afternoons in H.D.
P2P : Download with Acestream Apk.

A small bit of work to set this up right, but once you do it works a treat. Loads of YouTube videos on how to do it. There's a specific url you need to download and save.
Have it done on mine, perfect H.D. quality.

Happy to send a pm if needed!!

Pm Please? Cheers Bud!

Unfortunately, don't use it anymore. Last time I checked, it was changed and now only works through a VPN. As I don't have one, I uninstalled it. That's the most annoying thing about XBMC, you find something that's great....within a couple of weeks it's gone

Started using this last night:

a preconfigured kodi with a lot of addons, is its own installation so doesnt effect your kodi. Impressive enough IMO

Its good for a beginner yeah. Lot of the addons on there you'll never use though.

Yeah, I prefer to pick and choose what I install but it's definitely a great addon for people who don't like messing with the box.

The XBMC Backup addon is brilliant. It comes by default on new installs. It just needs to be enabled in the Programs section.

Once you've configured your repositories and add ons just run this (it can back up to USB key, dropbox, network shares etc.).

Then when you install a new box just run the Backup addon and restore your config.

I've had to install a couple of Kodi boxes recently and this has saved me loads of time. Handy if you're upgrading your box or have a couple that you want to be configured the same.

Vdubt25 is not in MK repo. Never has and never will be. His tutorials are but not the add on.
