Anyone a Kodi expert??

Post by Andy Waller » Tue Sep 13, 2016 9:33 am

I've just recently moved into the world of online streaming.

I've got an Amazon Fire Stick with Kodi Jarvis 16.1 installed.

I'm streaming 1080 films with no problems whatsoever, but it's struggling (constant buffering) with live HD football.

Has anyone any idea as to why??

It's a great investment for the movies. I can live without the football, but if I'm doing anything daft, I'd sooner have a go at sorting it!!

I googled how to clear the cache. That's supposed to help.Not sure if it does.

PS Keep the kids away from it like Bruce says.

I've tried that, it might be the size of my RAM. (usually the excuse of the Welsh)

I'd let Old Joe Kony off his child catching antics if he could get me Sky Sports for nowt.

I got some reset instructions from the bloke who sold me mine. I could forward those to you if it might help? I struggled with mine but it seemed to be Ok after the reset.

i have similar issues. a;ways assumed it was because were receiving live images rather than a movie that is stored on a hard drive somewhere, in other words more to do with the broadcaster than the Kodi? this could be complete bollocks like..... but such an amazing bit of kit for the fillums!!

there are tons of tutorials/ instructions to follow on the internet how to install new add-ons etc. pretty convoluted stuff but usually works!
