G'day Sup Forums.
I just cut the cord with my archaic cable subscription, and upgraded my internet with that money to 150MBPS connection.
Is Kodi still a thing? I've heard Exodus is no longer the go-to and now its been rebranded as Covenant.
I am looking into buying a streaming box with remote to run Kodi, Plex, YT, Netflix. Considering the newest Mi Box (inb4 chink botnet.Other then your own RPi bootleg, what do you guys use? Cordcutting general.

i actually just finally got a fire stick and love it but desu, have no idea now what to do.
sling and netflix are oike all i can imagine needing
Very much up for suggestions.
I seen that if you sideload Kodi, you can add an extention to Kodi called Covenant, which basically searches all internet streams for you to choose. THen you just stream free shit over the app.
>streaming
lol
Just run HDMI cable to TV from computer. Wireless keyboard and mouse. Kodi.
I've got a similar question so I won't start a new thread. I travel quite a bit and wifi can be a bit of a pain in the ass depending on hotel for streaming and connecting my Roku.
Basically I'm looking for a cheap Android box or anything really that I can just pop a flash drive and hookup to a TV for easy no bullshit movie watching.
I use a Pi3 with OSMC (Kodi fork), an IR receiver and an xbone media remote.
Plug in HDD full of local, install Covenant plugin, shit is fucking great. No legit streaming, but Covenant has literally everything, and I don't give a fuck
we're not all fucking 16 years old like you
His solution does work and doesn't require more hardware. It's a bit silly not to focus all your entertainment around the most versatile device you own, your PC.
Kodi is one of the shittiest, most pointless programs I’ve ever used. Filled with absolute garbage quality videos of everything you search for. Just torrent shit and be done with it

This worries me. I am not looking for 4k streaming, just 1080p without too much buffering. I have yet to try it myself. What program do you use to manage your torrents on a media center?
This seems interesting, one user says it kicks ass and the other says it gargles cock. Are the streams ok? Are they slow?
Plex
What about terrarium? anyone have experience
>What program do you use to manage your torrents on a media center?
Not him, but I use Plex and a torrent server, fully remotely manageable.
>browse torrent site
>right click on link "send to server for download"
>8GB Bray rips download in a few minutes
>open up smart TV in the meanwhile
>open DLNA (Plex manages it's own DLNA) or Plex web client
>click recents
>watch
>after watching, go on the torrent server web management page
>delete torrent with data
Plex. Make a file server, (or a NAS, lots of NAS devices come with plex built in these days), and make a Plex server. Tell your plex server where the videos are on the network, and you're done. You can even cast Plex content to a Chromecast, that's how I do it. You can even set up port forwarding so you can access your videos from your phone without needing to VPN in first.
Plex is fucking glorious.
Note: I have a lifetime Plex pass, bought it because I could afford it. I'm not sure what benefits it comes with because I just bought it to support the project. Some of the stuff I described might be Plex Pass only, or you may be able to work around it yourself with some added effort.
>bought it because I could afford it
A hundred bux must seem like a big investment for a NEET.
Exactly why I included it. Pretty sure $100 is a lot for a bunch of people who post here.
no need to break the law, putting yourself at great risk. No need to pay big $$$ for fancy online services and crazy bandwidth and data.
all u need is this: hello-gadget.com
Sonarr and Radarr, streaming through Plex. Also get an m3u player and add some of the lists from FluxusTV. Bretty good tbqh.
DONT GET A MALI GPU
DONT GET A POWERVR GPU SOC
DONT GET A ROCKCHIP
vivante or adreno gpus are both mainlined
use Kodi on android or gnu/linux.
dont get a pi which is limited to 100mbps and a shared sdcard bus
100% how I do. Outdoor antenna to pick up local channels, everything else is Plex or internet content I can cast to any screen in my house with my phone. No cable TV, it's completely unnecessary.
this.
Kodi (on a sbc or htpc) + pvr frontend within kodi + HDTV DVR(diy tivo) + OTA tuner(multiple recordings or viewings) + antenna
Where do you host your server?
I can grab magnet URIs on my box in the cloud. I can also torrent at my place. The building I'm in has open wifi and stupid sysadmins. Bit of a hastle, but I make it work.
Personally I like the ease of using a steam link. Just plug it in, log into steam and play movies using whatever media player you’ve got.
This.

The software is really good, The only issues i had was the TV library detection seems to be really picky about file names.
>muh plex
least use emby as the backend to kodi
plex is shady with licenses and also drm
Grab yourself Terrarium TV, it's a much better looking and easier to use app than Kodi will ever be
Emby has a lot of ads, so no.
How is Plex DRM?
there needs to be a /Daily KODI Thread/ already
I have a core2quad 960gtx htpc, wireless mouse and keyboard and old windows media IR remote, and also Yatse app on phone and tablet to control Kodi. I mostly just torrent 1080p stuff, I also have just about every old console game available through kodi and a bunch of game controllers. All the "muh free TV" streaming addon faggotry is such cancer, that is the worst way to use Kodi and strictly for retard normies, it's a shame that's what Kodi is now "famous" for.
Been using a Mi box for about half a year now, it's pretty damn good.
You can setup dlna to stream stuff you downloaded on your pc. Another more ghetto way would be to use an external hdd and torrent directly to the box.
he's paranoid because plex pulls data from imdb
Do you have a PS4?
Does he not know you can turn that off?
I'm just using a Kodi android box(s912, not androidTV) with a 4tb hard drive. I download the shit i want at work, bring it home, put it on the drive, viola...
I might buy a server and set up plex so i can watch my stuff at friends/family too, and so theres redundancy.(I have about 3.5tb of really well organized and remuxxed files. 900 movies, 300 TV series)
I also have netflix that i use with a chromecast, but its rarely ever used since the kodi box has everything i *think* i want... So unless i ever run out of shit to watch, i'll never be curious to check out netflix.
Endgame is a Nvidia shield and 4K TV, but that wouldnt make much difference for how i watch my shit today(its 80% 720p, and the shield's benefits wouldnt come into play with Kodi. I would like me sum MGS2 and MGS3 tho.)
the human eye can't detect anything over 720p
>Filled with absolute garbage quality videos of everything you search for.
Why are you calling Kodi shitty because of shitty third party add-ons that have nothing to do with the main Kodi program? Kodi itself works great.
On my fire TV box I use the Plexkodiconnect add-on + Kodi. I prefer streaming my Plex server through Kodi because I can stream x265 videos and videos with subtitles (like anime) without my server being forced to transcode. Even though my fire TV decodes x265, Plex doesn't allow the fire TV to direct play it.
And the add-on integrates your Plex library into your Kodi library nicely.
Terrarium has been great so far, quicker at finding links than any Kodi add-on I’ve found. Also, you don’t have to find a new add-on every 2 months as they all get abandoned and links go to shit.
or 24hz
Bitch, get a Roku.
Platform agnostic. Vudu is better than iTunes, anyways.
Amazon has nothing good on their streaming service anyways.
Nope but close. Get a bigass outdoor TV antenna and install it on your roof. If you don't want to do that then just place it somewhere in your home up high and hide it behind a box or something. DOn't fall for those underpowered indoor ones unless it can get at least 75+ miles. The indoor ones also do not have a very strong stable signal like the outdoor ones do. Can be had for less than $150.
