Amazon Fire Stick?

[Mixd]

Don't know if this was posted (didn't feel like searching the thread) but a custo sent me this video a month or so ago and i just decided 2 try it tonight cuz a show the wife was trying to watch was laggin no matter which link i tried. Tried the method in the video and the 1st link i tried was on and poppin

I'm wondering if this guy's number may he a lil off.

He said to enter 419430400.
Think he meant one less digit to make it 40mb, his number would make your cache 400mb.

Some devices, may be nothing, others may be a lil too much.

Here's a link explaining it better.
http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_the_video_cache

But it should be your buffer size MB x 1024 x 1024

So 40mb x 1024 x 1024 = 41,943,040

He responded two days ago to someone and said the number should be (for the fire stick) 157286400

Good drop! I also think that cache settings could be causing some of the buffering issues.

I used this quick fix under the old XBMC system.

Oh boy i just got around to doing this today cuz my baby girl trying to watch all the xmen movies n she whining about the pausing....

This shit got it running smooth as SILK. haven't stopped one time and the buffer bar is WAAAYYYY out in front of the actual movie

 

[futureshock]

This is a lighter build. Maybe it can resolve the performance issues for some?

There are 2 main versions of The Beast. The standard one is the most complete but also a bit heavy so if you are on an a device that struggles, the Encore is best for you!

 

[futureshock]

For kids devices.

 

[futureshock]

No more typing....and a new way to load items.




whelp......

spinz tv premium lite > the beast build

 

[Texas Catdaddy]

Gotta do a re-install.....bout to check out these last two future shock, thanks.

 

[super_glue]

I have a beelink x2 and a firestick. My AT&T dsl connection speed was garbage. I just moved to Charter for internet. They stream perfectly now.

 

[Texas Catdaddy]

This is what I thought, att is bs.....who my ppl in Dallas use ?

Yeah, they quoted me a speed that they did not deliver. It was well below what they promised. Just when I was about to call them up to demand that they send someone out to look and gimme an explanation, the Charter truck rolled through. So I went back to them (Charter).

I do miss my ATT DVR tho.

 

[doggish_098]

Wanted to put my xfinity app on there but it won't let me type the user and pass in

I wiped Beast today and trying out Spinz for about a week or so thru the diff devices in the crib. Will feel it out. So far it's cool. Just madd busy for me. Had to find where to add my sources for movies and TV shows that I stream, but figured it out. It's a bit confusing if you don't know your way around Kodi.

Wonder how you guys who sell it will make out with it.

Let us know how it is compared to the Beast build.

Spinz has a slicker interface and HUD. There are so many options and things that are automatically "given" to you from the start from a basic setup or customization standpoint. Currenlty, I don't see the need to change anything. I like it way more than the beast. Ares has pre-install ratings for each build and the beast was rated as one of the lowest to my surprise. So while ChrisB's server was down......I took Spinz for a spin. ChrisB did a great job, but the beast looks more like a teen age or juvenile build. Spinz has a more mature feel to it. It seems to give you everything option wise.

I agree in some aspects, but the only reason Beast was lower on Ares, was cause it wasn't a part of Ares for some time. So isn't really a tally of how many times it's been downloaded. You can look at his archive page and see the counts of downloads https://archive.org/details/@chris1810
Some builds, he's removed, but some have had 200k downloads, it's what made me start using it. You can see the latest Beast TV has 30k already

In this Kodi game, I tend to usually stick to what's being most used, cause it has better support typically.

Let us know how it is compared to the Beast build.

I like Spinz so far, and because I have to stream a lot of my vids over my home network, had to figure out the differences in the skins to see what controls what. Other than that, it seems pretty cool so far. I likes. Will mess with it for another week and get the feel from the others in the crib, I put it on 3 other boxes as well (kids TV's).

don't use zero cache!!

 

[theteacher]

my brother has it. he paid $100. Only cuz he knows the guy is an honest hustler ( he sells everything from music, DVDs, clothes, electronics, etc.) and he tries to support him

NOW!!! this shit it THEE truth. everything we download in the movie threads is on there. plus a gang of other archival sport and movies. it's dope from what he showed me.

@Mixd Does anyone know why the skin/wallpaper would change in the Beast build?
I set up Kodi and the Beast for family a few weeks ago and when I went by yesterday everything had changed back to the Confluence default skin.
All the add-ons are still there, but it's a lot less user-friendly for them to use.

Did you see if they changed the skin? The "build" is the skin. The skin would have all the menu options pointing to each link. If you change the skin, the addons will be there still in Kodi.

Change the skin back to Aeon Nox or whatever skin it is, I think the one in Beast TV is Mimic.

I know they didn't change the skin, because they would have no clue how to do so. They are not very tech savvy at all.
I'll see if I can change it back to Aeon Nox, I don't think it is Mimic b/c that is the skin I currently use on my setup at home.

BTW, how was the Skinz build worked so far.

Exactly that they don't know how to use it, is why my suspicion is someone F'ed around and changed it not knowing what they doing.
And Spinz so far is cool with me. To the few I suggested running it, they're using the Firestick really like it better then the Beast. I have it running on a Raspberry Pi and two AppleTV's first edition. Runs smooth so far...

If a skin ever "breaks" (ex. not enough memory), kodi will revert to the default skin. Either that or someone went into settings-appearance and changed it by accident.

I'm thinking this is possibly what happened.
Might have to free up some memory for them.
Thanks.

One of my boyz is running Mobdro on his fire stick.

Never even heard of it until last night.

 

[NER0]

I've had that Mobdro for awhile on my Firestick... I could get it to work right.
If you get it running.. Let me know
