So who else has gone down the Kodi wormhole ?

[jimipanic]

So as many as y'all have done, we kicked cable to the curb for streaming services. I have a few apps, (Netflix, YouTube, watch espn) and a bunch of Blu Ray DVD rips as well. About 1.5 TBs, of movies, on external HDs and cloud services. Plus, not to mention about 5TBs of all of the audio/visual music related stuff out there. From all the generations. And you can have it to since I'm willing to share. But that maybe too involved. So...

Main point being, I thought I was living the high life... Then i discovered kodi thru a raspberry .pi computer. Any and just about everything you can think of. Any Movie, tv show or what have you is at your fingertips. Yes live sport steaming too.

If anyone out there is using this, I'm interested in what add ons work best. PM me. Anyone who wants to cut that entertainment budget down and basically live in the future, PM me as well. I'm trying to bring any, and everyone, the highest quality, audio visual in music or in tv/movies, that's willing to learn.

In english, the KODI program is an interface that accesses many different types of media. I had an amazon firestick that was loaded with Kodi. I could watch the same movies that were now playing in the theaters. Great if you don't mind Chinese subtitles.
They have add ons for sports and porn and versions that look at different parts of the web for content some legal some not

80 percent of everything you can get is illegal stolen content. I'd rather pay for what I get.

Since I am not all high-tech, how is this commercially available, if illegal (as in stolen)?

The device isn't illegal. It just plays media. The illegal part is playing media that is ill gotten. Someone owns that content.

That was the "English" I was looking for. Thanks.

I added it to a Fire Stick. Wow! Like you said, everything at your fingertips.

I use Covenant and Sportsdevil. It seems like the add-ons come and go as far as maintenance goes so don't get too comfortable with one. But they all work the same basically.

I haven't added a VPN. Seems to be a lot of things pointing to one service "VanishIP" but it seems kind of over the top advertising to me. I'll let it fly without one until I get the idea that I should use one. I'm not doing anything wrong so no need to hide right?

Yep, have it and use it. BUT... it uses a tweaked form of Bit Torrent. Lots of ISP's monitor that traffic and don't be surprised if you get a DMCA notification and threats. The VPN service does help hide what traffic is being received by your IP (it's encrypted). The IP shows up as an off-shore so it's much more difficult to trace back to you.
