Can I import live Kodi channels into PLEX?

Nope, different ecosystem. Plex and KODI forked from the same application, but so long ago that its entirely different now.

 

[Flyn]

I don't know. Just started looking at Kodi a couple days ago. I will check it out.

Problem I still see is links go dead and don't get renewed by the developers. Plenty of dead links in Kodi although a lot less than back in XBMC.

Thanks. Looks like picking up a Fire stick for the TV and loading Kodi on it may be the way to go.

I signed up for 3 months for Smoothstreams last week and couldn't be happier so far. Comes to about $10 a month for high quality sports streams (including PPV events). Has a really solid Kodi addon that has a "comcastlike" channel guide for finding sports. So far every MLB, Olympic, UFC fight, etc has been streamed perfectly. Its been invite only for years, but they opened up invitations for a short period.

SmoothStreams registration closed. I've had this a month now, and I'm not sure how I lived without it! UFC fights, every MLB and NFL game all have been streaming perfect!

They did say they will open them up again for a short time hopefully in the near future.

I played with Kodi a bit on my laptop after my brother raved about getting rid of DirecTV. definitely a lot of content available if you look in the right places.... finding those can be cumbersome though.

Worst part is still having to pay comcast almost 100 bucks a month for high speed. i'm not paying much more than that for cable and internet... I'm gonna put a Kodi stick on the garage tv and play with it some more though.

I pay $50 a month for my internet through WOW!, and $10 a month for SmoothStreams (sports provider).

If you use Exodus and Phoenix addons that will provide you with just about any TV show or movie you'd like to watch. Sports can be trickier/cumbersome, hence why I said "F it" and pay $10 a month for a service.

so smoothstream is sports only?

 

[Flyn]

Genesis, Phoenix and SportsDevil. Big three. SportsDevil had dozens of links to NFL games posted this past Sunday.

It has HBO, Showtime, FX, FXX, AMC, HGTV, Food Network, Nat Geo, and a few others I'm sure I'm forgetting.

The focus is sports, and their channel guide for sports in Kodi is like Comcast. They have been adding more and more non-sports cable channels, and they stream perfect, but the guide is not there for them yet. Sports though literally has everything you'd ever want, college sports, pro sports, international sports, WWE, UFC, Boxing PPV's, etc.

Anybody have any info on the new CBS All Access channel? See it on Kodi anywhere? It's a rip off to pay $7 or $10 a month for one or two shows, especially since I already pay for CBS through my cable. If CBS had a fair price, I'd subscribe. For comparison I pay around that for Netflix entire line up of original shows.

 

[Chet Donnelly]

What shows are you looking for?

 

[Flyn]

Big Brother and the new Star Trek. I have been running searches on Kodi. BB shows up on Genesis but there aren't any links yet.

 

[Chet Donnelly]

Genesis is no longer supported. Use the Exodus addon. I just did a quick search for Big Brother and the latest season had all the episodes.

I searched Star Trek and a bunch of versions showed up, I don't know what the newest one is.

[Sprayin]

Yeah exodus is my new favorite Kodi addon. It has everything in good quality and never any issues with slow streaming.

 

[Flyn]

I meant exodus but typed genesis. The new Star Trek isn't out yet. Big Brother Over the Top is the actual name of the new BB show. Both are only on CBS All Access. Thanks for looking.

I have the stick for the bedroom and the fire TV for the living room.

I've just done the basic install of kodi. What else is out there?

 

[TonzKnock-G]

I think we need a sticky of the latest and greatest add ons for certain categories. Anyone care to take this on?

Exodus - free

SmoothStreams - $10 a month but worth it if you can sign up. You get every sporting event live, including PPV events.

 

[Flyn]

Sportsdevil - free

Tons of sports from America and around the world including live. Quality is hit or miss. Sometimes HD, sometimes barely watchable.

Exodus
Phoenix
SALTS
1 Channel

Bookmark and read his whole site.



I need to change skins though. The default (confluence) only allows 5 shortcuts and I'd like some more. But I like the basic interface, fancy doesn't impress me and makes it more complicated for my wife which never ends well.

Where are you getting your 3rd party add-ons from? I just downloaded the whole installer package from tvaddons.ag called FreeTelly. It preloads all the good ones and there are a bunch.
