Goddamn it sucks to be British or American.

Even here in Ireland the Government and ISPs don't give a shit about movie/tv streaming/downloading.

They blocked the PirateBay and KAT but its been 5 years now and ThePirateBay is once again unblocked.

I use it and have yet to have problems

But if you're really worried user get a VPN

streaming isn't illegal

>country with zero creative output doesn't care about pirating

mindblowing

No issues whatsoever. The only people who are at fault are the ones hosting the movies.

> literally just got off the phone with father
> just wanted to say Merry Christmas
> had to endure 20 min of Kodi

Love him. What is this?

>zero creative output

U2, The invention of the submarine, Colin Farrell, Saoirse Ronan, Peter O'Toole, Richard Harris, Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw, Whiskey, Irish Music, Irish Dancing, Irish/Irish Involved Movies (The Room etc), The Duty Free, Pierce Brosnan, Gabriel Byrne, Daniel Day Lewis, Descendents (John F Kennedy, Ronald Reagan), Irish Pubs, Irish Beer, St Patricks Day, Irish Comedians (Dara O Brian, Ed Byrne, Dylan Moran etc), ames Joyce, WB Yeats, Thomas Moore, Johnathon Smith, JB Dillon,Thin Lizzy, The Cranberries, Color photography, Trans-Atlantic calls, Cure for Leprosy, The tank, and Ejector Seat.

I can go on.

wtf I like Britbongs now

Kodi is just for streaming anyway, you're not going to get in trouble for using it

Pirating is the only way to really get in trouble, and even then (unless you live in a shitty Europoor country) you'll just get a warning

Sounds like your subconsciously mad at your dad that hes showing "normies" something cool and he never talks to you

Boyles Law, Entrepeneurship, Beaufort Scale, The Electron, Radiotherapy, Pulsar, Jack Butler Yeats, Paul Henry, Van Morrison, Sinead O'Connor, Shane McGowan, Enya, Rory Gallagher, Hozier, Seamus Heaney, Patrick Kavanagh, Brendan Behan, Samuel Beckett, Liam Neeson, Rhys Meyers, The Gleeson Family, Jimmy Carr, Aphex Twin, Chris De Burgh, Jim Sheridan, Lenny Abrahmson,

A friend of mine spoke of this as if it was akin to the jump from b/w television to color television. I tried using it & couldnt get a single thing to work, straight to the trash bin it went.

holy shit my dad also got it. its actually really good streaming. i was skeptic at first.

btw you're supposed to get exodus for it.

It really is excellent mate if you get it working. The streams run really well and allow seeking. The only issue I'd have is with the audio sync which can be off at times.

Also get Exodus as says

It's got too high a learning curve for normies, the only problem is dipships who put kodi boxes together and sell them on craigslist as legal way to watch anything.

This comes with it all installed.

>U2
>The Room
>Colin Farrell
>being proud of these things

Ah maybe Ill give it another go + exodus then, then I can ditch psvue

IN THE NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME

Damn only $50 thats not bad. So with this its just plug and watch?

I didn't say I liked or am proud of everything but they do show the creative talent which user said didn't exist.

Also I do like U2 and Colin Farrell.

The one famous person I did leave out is Sinead O'Connor, the attention seeking bitch.

Kodi is an open source project it's not a honeypot.
It's possible that devices sold with Kodi installed may also have malware installed.

Yeah, I got my father that one for Christmas and it had Kodi with a shit load of applications already installed (including Exodus and some UFO channel thing which he loves).

The base version comes with a little remote for controlling, you can also use bluetooth or usb to connect a keyboard and mouse too if you want.

I got that particular model because the WiFi chip is excellent in it. Also there was no import duty for Ireland through standard post.

my stepmother was bragging about it during the christmas party today too
I think if she learned about torrenting it would blow her mind

Anyone know if there are porn apps for it? I've been playing with the one at my dad's house but it only has exodus and Phoenix on it. I got a fire stick for Christmas and haven't had a chance to look at what's available.

>someone was autistic enough to actually type all this shit out

ARE KINGS AND SHIT

It's not all history and I'm only answering a question. We don't have a victim complex. We accepted racism towards us from Brits and Yanks alike but worked hard to gain an equal footing. That's the biggest difference between Irish and blacks,

Awesome, thanks for the info man! Im gonna pull the trigger & order it.

Whitecream

No bother, enjoy!

>not using private trackers to get anything in existence in the best quality possible
>not using sonarr to grab it for you automatically

I hate how many normies are on Sup Forums now, they're so tech illiterate

>Kodi is just for streaming anyway, you're not going to get in trouble for using it
Streaming is downloading though. And downloading is piracy.
Using a streamlined client that enables one-click 1080p stream loading, with no ads or anything, really makes me think it's dangerous.
And if normies know about it, you can bet the MPAA do.

>Streaming is downloading though. And downloading is piracy.

Being this incorrect

I set these up and sell them. Amazon fire tv or sticks are the best besides the nvidia shield

>(unless you live in a shitty Europoor country)

?

>being this tech illiterate
Stream a YouTube video, that video is now temporarily cached somewhere on your PC

Ergo, it was downloaded

I understand how the tech works, but that's not illegal according to the government where I live

What the hell is Kodi?

Open Source Media Centre that allows the installation of Third Party applications ergo illegal streaming apps etc are difficult to install but well hidden. Bit Dark Webish

And how are all these normie parents aware of it? They selling them at Best Buy or something?
and how do all these people not already have the means to stream or download whatever they want?

>U2

Angels & Airwaves (the american equivalent) is better

It's not difficult to do at all, people pre-load Android TV devices and scam people on eBay by selling them 'pre-loaded', when it'd be cheaper for people to do it themselves

>Cure for Leprosy, The tank, and Ejector Seat
This should be the name of the best band ever

Totally legal in Europe, as long as you are streaming and not downloading so they can't get you for anything, don't know about America though.

you're not helping your case

actors are not "creative output"

full of viruses, thanks for installing it normies, Christmas was good for me.

Cheers from Russia

>streaming and not downloading
You poor naive child. Streaming IS downloading. And they WILL get you for that in America.

looks like I inadvertently downloaded a shit ton of copyrighted music off of youtube so. I'd better throw my laptop into the microwave and nuke it just in case the Copyright Patrol kick down my door and drag me off to the Sony saltmines.

I don't get it, what's the point?
Why do you need it to stream shit?
Does this offer anything new that I can't do with a laptop and HDMI cable?

>youtube videos licensed by record labels are the same as illegal streams of hollywood movies
wew lad

>Kodi is just for streaming

No it isnt. Its simply a frontend for use in a home theater PC setup. Yes it does have "add ons" which allow you to stream content.
But most people use it with local files on their own home network.
I myself have a 6tb nas filled with movies and shows I got from torrent sites and I use kodi to play them on my TV witha media center remote because its fucking stupid navigating windows with a mouse and keyboard on a TV in your living room.

Are they a honeypot?
My father was showing this fucking thing to me like it was the best thing ever. Normies should seriously stay away from shit like this and PtP.

There's that fucking ergo word again...

This.

>Download everything
>Use phone as a remote on the couch

Shit's fucking cash. I started using it last month and I honestly wish I knew about it sooner! Having to use my KB+M on the couch was such a hassle.

How much is Kodi paying you shills? I want them Kodibux too

>free open source community project
>has money for shilling
pick one.

I swear kodi is a normie thing the likes I've never seen before. I only hear normies talking about it. If it really is this great tool for streaming all these amazing pirated streams, there would definitely have been daily threads here on which "streams" are best and/or how to install them. I've never even heard of kodi until like halfway through this shit year.

>AW SHIT, AN UNQUALIFIED POSITIVE OPINION ON THE INTERNET!
>THAT CAN'T FUCKING HAPPEN

Yeah i dont get your meme, kodi is just a glorified media player, its all the shady third party addons that are the problem

And it was called XBMC forever, which started out as simply a media player for xbox

>streaming
theres your fucking reason. normies love streaming. look at netflix. basement dwellers already know about torrenting and dont care about streaming.

>I swear streaming is a normie thing the likes I've never seen before

ftfy

and normies actually put up with netflix randomly removing movies and then adding them back 3 months later

Have fun explaining to your ISP why you were streaming all these movies when they shut down your internet.

Our Kind is used to doing things "The hard way", though. Something like Kodi wouldn't really come up for us because we're so used to selecting files from a browser and fullscreening our media player of choice on our PC monitor, after downloading lossless torrents. Quality took a backseat to ease of use and quality of life for us decades ago.
Kodi is not at all something new, and every blue moon, when a home theater setup thread happens, it's mentioned every single time. But again, why would I, the average Sup Forums viewer, use something like it, when double-clicking .mkv files has been a standard for years, and works perfectly fine?
The big thing about Kodi is its plugin support, and one of those plugins is the ability to view streaming content, exactly like Netflix.
The "Like Netflix but free" angle is where the normies come in, because QoL shit is what they're all about

Private trackers are garbage. Seeding on those trackers is a huge chore. Your IP is part of a tiny community and is easily exposed to ISP and copyright police.

Also the best files from private trackers get leaked outside the community anyway

ive used time warner cable for the past 7 years and ive downloaded like a billion terrabytes of illegal shit and streaming and never once have they sent me any letter except the time I didnt pay my monthly bill

I use pleb public trackers too

Time warner is the best

if you're gonna watch the movies on your PC then theres no point to using kodi you dumbfuck.
But if you have a small pc set up in your living room hooked up to a big tv and you sit on a couch its nice to have a gui that operates like a dvd or blu ray player with a remote

So a bunch of people who work for the Brits and Americans?

still sounds pointless to me

I've got a PC that's hooked up both to the desktop setup in my study and the big screen TV in my living room, through an HDMI cable that passes through a hole in the wall.

KODI is brilliant for something like that. Being able to just whip out my phone and put a movie on the living room TV whenever I want, without having to worry about my keyboard and mouse or whatever is so fucking nice.

Granted, it's not going to appeal to everyone, but if your PC is in any way integrated with your home entertainment system, it's a must.

Holy shit, my uncle was shilling this at family Christmas too. I'm like dude chill out don't disturb the power levels

Why not just use Plex?

>he doesn't just watch his kino on his laptop in the comfort of his bed
learn2hikikomori

using your phone with kore to control kodi is gay

get yourself a cheap legit windows media center remote like this HP

the button presses are mapped to the windows registry which you can change using a program called "Advanced MCE Remote Mapper"

Because plex requires an account and has gated features, while Kodi is free and open source.

Oh God, I just left my computer to go outside and my relatives saw all the pepes and memes on the monitor.

What do I do?!

Curious as to how you guys got kodi set up on your TV?
Did yous buy those kodi sticks or what?
Help an user out pls

>shilling a free opensource program

???

Exactly why are people sperging out about Kodi? It works fine supposing that you're not autistic about super high quality video, since there are often entirely decent 1080p streams.

I just connected my PC to my TV with an HDMI cable.

I built a new computer and my old one now sits behind my tv and only runs kodi 24/7

>It works fine supposing that you're not autistic about super high quality video

Or you can just download decent blu ray rips and run them off a local drive instead of streaming everything like a pleb

kek

Ahh I see
I'm really dissapointed that xbone doesnt have an app for kodi. Considering it started as an xbox thing

I'm not grasping any practical difference for most non-autistic people.

The free account works for everything inside the house, only thing that doesn't work is like remote shit.

Fuck that shit.

Do you even know what you can do with Kore?
Being able to cue up subsequent tv shows/movies and having IMDB for what you're watching up automatically? Can't do that shit on a basic remote!

Kodi is just a program that lets you organise and watch your media collection. It's up to the end user to decide where they procure that media from.

>No one knows the wizardry of torrenting and streaming via PS3 media server

It's like I can watch anything on the net.

you and your ilk are the reason lossy mp3 shit took over the audio world

"lol I cant hear the difference"

>not using this

thats fucking gay
I want a real remote

Not even close to being as good as Kodi

lad, the fact that you can list your country's entire """"creative output""""" in two posts on Sup Forums, a mongolian discussion board, is proof enough that you as well as your country aren't worth the time of day, so why don't you just fuck off and kill yourself.

fucking this

I can tell the difference I just don't care, the convenience justifies it

You really, literally can't, though.
Provided the MP3's bitrate is high enough, and the sound equipment is decent quality, you literally can't tell a difference.
They've done scientific studies on this shit.
It's basic confirmation bias. You know a FLAC is "supposed" to be a higher quality than an MP3, so that's what you think you hear.

Same basic concept with wine tasters.

>buy an Amazon Fire stick
>sideload Kodi on to it
>sell for +50%
I've been doing this for a year
Takes 15 minutes to do each stick, I've honest to god made about £2k net doing this when i can be assed

Why would I use that when my phone fits in one hand, and has added features like automatically pausing the movie if I get a call, or having texts show up onscreen, if I want them to?

>inb4 movie interruptions. You can turn that shit off if you want.
