Amazon / kodi set top box

[Greg]

Lee you're an absolute star

Got in tonight and connected my ATV2 to mtMac and jail broke it using your link.

Then connected ATV2 back to my tv using Ethernet and it fired up fine, changed settings as directed for ATV2.

Downloaded nitro installer from your link to my Mac and then installed kodi from my Mac to ATV2.

Rebooted ATV2 and Kodi in the menu

I then added Fusion and low and behold there was Exodus, fired up a Sky movie, played in HD with a fantastic picture and it started playing really quickly, within about a minute and although I only watched 10 minutes no freezing or jagged pictures at all. Although it's early days so far so bloody good

Now all I need Lee (hint hint) is an idiots guide to installing the stuff I need to watch all the sports channels. I don't have a sports option in the menu so I'm guessing I need to add an alternative to fusion that has sports ?

Thanks for all your help so far, well chuffed

The steps for installing other stuff on Kodi are basically the same as here seo-michael.co.uk/tutorial-how-to-install-ares-wizard-kodi/ and Ares has a lot of sports stuff on it.

No idea about sky sports
Sky are nasty buggers online. Any mention of their services being shared or ways of sharing them and they go after the websites and hosting companies of the websites

I'm not into sports, but the add on I have heard good things about is "sports devil"
And, no guessing on where the guide is
www.tvaddons.ag/sportsdevil/

If that don't give you what you need, have a gander at their support forum for sports add on's

Magic Lee, I'll give that a go tomorrow, I've already got fusion so it seems like sports devil is hidden in there and I just need to add it

Sport sorted

Just need to sort Spotify now. Seems I need to download a file but I can't do that to ATV

From memory, sportify is installed when you install the config wizard
www.tvaddons.ag/install-addons-kodi/

Then click on videos and then add ons and it should be listed there

Can find anything but Spotify even when I select get more. It seems from my googling efforts there's no repo for it yet so you need to download the zip. I'll get it on the Mac then see if there's a way to transfer the zip to ATV2.

thanks for all your help, I've over the moon with progress so far.

i was watching (trying) to watch the darts semi final on the firestick yesterday and you wouldn't believe how often it buffered at a crucial dart.

watching a bit of the final rerun on ATV2 tonight and it's spot on.

Try going programs -> add on installer -> video add ons and looking for it

Or

System -> add-ons -> My add-ons -> all
Then go down the list and see if sports devil shows and if its enabled

Sportsdevil installed when I last set up a box from scratch

I've got sport devil sorted now and working, it's Spotify I can't rind as a repo. I've downloaded a zip file to my Mac but apparently o need cyber duck which I downloaded to transfer the zip from my Mac to the ATV. My head hurts, I'll have another bash tomorrow night at Spotify.

I did manage to add Spotify but Google was telling me there was no Spotify repos at present so I had to instal from a zip download on my Mac and install onto the ATV2 over my network using cyberduck, your repo addy looks similar to my zip file name and although mine installed ok it only works with a premium Spotify account I don't have rather than the free version. I have it on my iPad so I can airplay to my Aple Tv. I Willard your repo though just in case. I'm discovering lots of new things now,

I'm going octocore with the T95Zplus. I'll take off the bloat and just add what I want. I'm a dab hand now.

Guy for FACT said on BBC New 24 this AM they will be noting the names and address of people who bought preloaded stick from the raided sellers, but the other guy said the ignorance defence is stronger than for those that set the sticks up themselves.
