Kodi has one of the most arcane UIs I've used in years. Also, you need to find and set up plugins to get streaming going and this is a complicated process. The streams can be good but not worth all the hassle.
- nobleach 8y agoA younger more daring me set up SportsDevil back in the day (like a couple of years ago) so I could watch the Florida Gators play while living across the country. It was SUCH a pain to get a reliable stream. And even then, it was potato quality. With GoogleTV providing all the channels I need, and at a 35 dollar a month price, I can't see any reason why I'd go back to this route.
- eltoozero 8y agoThat’s because KODI is really just a media player with a plug-in framework. The plug-ins are NOT part of KODI’s core functionality. Although it could be argued the native stuff are plugins too, they are built on the same framework but source your media from locally attached storage (USB, SD card, HDD) or network server/stream (RTSP, SMB, FTP).
- derptron 8y agoThe stream links die left and right these days. The upkeep it requires (searching for working plugins) is just not worth the hassle, IMO.
