Where'd you find it for £65?

It was on sale at Amazon over Christmas to New Years.

I have TB build on Kodi on my pc and it is brilliant and easy to use.

 

[Captain]

Just tried that,i get Authorization failure on anything i try?

 

[scrivz69]

Thats odd, works fine on mine.

 

[Captain]

Are you using the isengard edition of Kodi? I'm finding it unstable, freezes a lot and takes 20 seconds to close down?

I downloaded it that long ago I can't remember which version I am using. This page looks familiar. http://kodi.tv/download/

Done thanks.

I'm using the 15.2 version of isengard, i'll go back to Gotham as i found that one the best.

under sharing and advanced does 'everyone' have permissions to read?

 

[nicknack35]

Yep everything done lude all set up correctly. i did manage to see my drives and play films fine but its gone back to how it was to asking for a username and password when i click on a film it keeps saying not available would i like to remove it on every film. All i can think off is smb share aint stable on 15.2

 

[lude1962]

try creating a new user on the pc (control panel , user accounts) give that account full access to the shared drive, enter that username and password when prompted in kodi

The M8S seems to get good reviews, thinking of getting one myself unless anyone has any suggestions? Like you kaptainmarc, I'm thinking a budget of about £50-£60?

 

[maj]

I use a pi2 as they're about half the price of decent andoid boxes. I know it's linux rather than android but if you put OpenELEC on you don't need to worry as Kodi is built into the image and boots straight to it. You can add Add-ons to get Netflix etc but an android box might have more in-built features and apps?

 

[kaptainmarc]

yeah ideally looking for something thats plug and play so android box is ideal. just so many out there don't know which ones the best

I stream from either my NAS or PC hard drive to 4 other Amazon Fire's in the house and sometimes I may watch a bit of a program in my bedroom but want to finish it off in another room however I have to remember how many minutes I watched.
Is there a Bookmark addon that will be recognised on multi Kodi streamers?

I remember seeing an article about this, you can use MariaDB or MySQL (I think) which will update the play status across all players.

Takes a bit of setting up, but should mean total synchronisation.
