Thread has been a great source of info on boxes and XBMC for me and a few others I would imagine.

Think the mods will police the thread and not any old random poster.

Anyone recommend a VPN to use with XBMC, using Hola on the laptop but unsure how to work one through XBMC.

Quick question, am running Kodi on Windows 8. I have installed P2P Streams on Minix and Nexus no problem but on the laptop when I try to enter the address to run the python script I cant bring up a box to enter the text. I click 'Run a Python Script' and nothing happens, any ideas?

Misread question, my answer is not what you asked.

Way over priced

The about us section is funny to say the least

• Matt, a Business graduate from the country.
• Great interest and passion in technology and smart Devices.
• Fed up of paying over 100 euros a month for my sky bills.
• Went to Technology exhibition in china.
• Found great value in the Deambox technology.

Should be,

• Matt, a Business graduate from the country.
• Matt was told about XBMC.
• said he will make a few quid for himself
• so bought cheap box from China and then stuck on free XBMC
• Charged people a fortune for it.....Matt is happy:D

If you have 150 quid to spend, give it to me and I will set up a system for you with Quad core proc

+1.

Couldn't agree more. I would strongly advise you to stay away from these guys as they completely over charge for their products and they have had nothing but complaints - check out their FB and Adverts page (they had to delete their ads there because there was so many people complaining!).

Basically, they just seem to have bought a bunch of cheap boxes from China and stuck on XBMC via an androidsticks.co.uk thing as people are posting screenshots of turning on their box only to see everything wiped and that logo there in the background. They were great at the sales pitch this time last year when they were selling these boxes by the score but people very quickly started to encounter problems and those guys couldn't be found/contacted anywhere.

I've a feeling that I may not be allowed to say the above (and believe me, I'm not saying half of it!) but if anyone has any thoughts of buying from them, I would strongly advise you to PM me first.

The Pak-India add-on should suffice for Sports. Mentioned a page or two back.

Thanks, I already have the PAK India add on but am looking for information on how to join Smoothstreams/Starstreams - that's why I made my original post.

If anyone has any info, I would be glad to hear it....

big nelly has helped out loads of people on this thread but asking for help with illegal activities will put an end to that by getting the thread locked.

I often watch 720 streams on xbmc. It is a paid service though but its very reliable.

I was looking at buying this:
http://dreamboxxbmcireland.com/

There's a video on youtube which claims it streams the sports channels in HD. Is this true? An acquaintance says he doesn't think it's quite HD, more like 480p than 720 or 1080.

Can anyone tell me? Also, how reliable are the streams?

Yeah, install Xunity maintenance, 0 Cache is in the tweaks section, and clearing cache is in Maintenance.

i changed to cache 0 hoping to be able to pause a movie for 15min then watch buffer free.
but alas no.
about 10 or 20 min into a film it exits back to the previous screen ( the one where you pick the source)

if i use xunity maintenance how do i reset tit back to default? or would a fresh install be better ?

Just adding this thread re caching

Looks like careful thought required before modifying cache

Just ordered two of them, not sure why but I see myself tuning each one from a €20 box into a gift for a family member with XBMC and all the tweaks etc which they'll place a much higher value on.

Or else I'll just sell them on Done Deal

The same box is for sale on Amazon for £94 http://www.amazon.co.uk/FiveSeasonStuff%C2%AE-Performance-Supported-SportsDevil-Jailbroken/dp/B00IR2BYDK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1413900083&sr=8-5&keywords=Q7+CS918+MK888+RK3188+Quad+Core

Letting it run as it is, I didn't have any issues. Sometimes I got error that cache was full but it didn't stop anything playing....most of the time a quick reboot and error was gone. Usually got error about cache after not rebooting for over a week

If I let it run I would be stuck with annoying buffering problems

I was supposed to have one of them last week, but something happened in shipping. I'm expecting it in the next couple of days.
I have since read some not-so-good comments about it on one of the Russian forums using Bing, so I'm not looking forward to it as much as I was. But I'm also hoping it didn't translate properly, because of the way it was worded..

I also have the other MXq on it's way over, beside it.

Assuming all the delays are over, they should both be here before or on Friday at the latest, I can post which (if either), I think is better.

Thats interesting on the zero cache, wasnt expecting it to cause issues

What FW did you flash to the minix

Went to BETA 9-2....don't notice any real difference, apart from image changed on boot and seems slower to boot but still running ok....not great

Had issues last night loading unity

I done this last week, after I set the 0 cache I had loads of issues. Very choppy playback and about 20 mins of playing and then it would drop back to screen and would have to restart

I got pi**ed very quickly and ended up scrubbing the box, flashing the new firmware udate and starting from fresh, still building back up XBMC

I think I am going to build back up the X8-H and then sell it on......so anyone looking for a box give me a shout :-)

Might try one of these: http://www.gearbest.com/tv-box/pp_79506.html

I've ordered one, but as Allyall said earlier,no guarantees regarding delivery, so if you order no point in coming on here whinging if it's not delivered, that said dispute process on Aliexpress is straight forward.

Might have found out why they are selling that box off. It is using the old RK3188T processor in it.....still as mentioned it was good little box for me

Just seen the replacement one on GearBest
http://www.gearbest.com/tv-box/pp_79506.html

Looks a good spec box when you compare to the Minix X8-H

Hi Xbmc users, is there on add-on maintenance tool, that allows
deleting of cache,
and setting up unlimited caching, which I think is zero cache.

hey - i have a minix x8-h and im currently running IPTV from vdubt25; channels work great...epg never works and as someone has already mentioned there is no recording functionality.

Is there any PVR frontend/backend combo for Gotham 13.2 that actually works and has recording functionality of live tv??

Really appreciate any help; pulling my hair out as all seem to have "connection lost" when i enable the PVR add ons.

EPG does work - perhaps double check the URL.

Raspberry Pi B+ , install XBMC System ( I know, he said android but this is better in my opinion ).. less than 40 euro and a decent processor and 512 mb of ram. Great deal.
