A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Kodi Android TV Streaming Box [Livingsocial + wetek group]

Klingon Hamlet · 2015-11-17 08:26:32

Available through LivingSocial. Seems a good deal. My family's chrome cast stopped working for some reason so this seems like a cheap easier to use (for non technophiles) alternative. Apologies for no link the boards mobile site doesn't seem to accept copy and pastes ???

We best let this get back on topic. For anyone that can't read between the very thin lines above, I don't think oscam is for you.

My Wetek is still in the box at home. Been really busy in work since January so haven't even been in the humour to sit down and try anything yet.

Thread has been pretty quiet lately so am giving this a bump here aswell

I'm currently putting together a guide on setting up pbnigma on a msd card on the following forum, if that is the route you are taking any feedback on the guide would be appreciated as it is currently a work in progress.

Complete newb when it comes to these devices (forgive me!), but looking for some advice on what to purchase.

My old man watches a lot of films, is not the most technical of people so i usually end up stick stuff on a usb. However MKV files don't play on xbox anymore, which has left him out of the loop and me too!

Just wondering whats the easiest and user friendly streaming box and perhaps the best place to buy it?

Much appreciated in advance.

If you are downloading your stuff I'd look into plex and not spend a dime to be honest. They have a free app for Xbox if thats what you are using and then you install and set up the server on PC/Laptop. Samsung TV's have a plex app or you can look at Emby which is very similar to plex.

Do you have to pay for plex to stream from xbox?
I basically need something he can find films/tv himself with.
I'm familiar with it, but had problems sharing specific files/libraries before.

No it went free a while ago. At a guess I would say the issue you had was with file names and folder structure. The file has to be named Movie 2016.mp4 or show name - S01E03 for example so that .

Rather than this thread being bumped all the time, closing it and any questions can be discussed in the Android forum.

If you see a bargain that is worth mentioning, start a new thread with the details.
