Krypton 7.0 is now live, and latest stable version. If you don't like the new default skin Estuary, you can go back to the Confluence(old default skin) by going to interface settings, click skin, click get more...

Did you tell me about the series Black Mirror before? It's from The UK on Netflix... Wow, it's like the Twilight Zone on steroids. Every episode is a different mini-movie, all set in the near future, where technology has gone overboard. Absolutely brilliant show, not sure why I'm just hearing about it.

I would scroll down and start with season 1 episode 1. The princess, heir to the British throne, gets kidnapped, and the only way to stop them from killing her, is that the Prime Minister has to literally fuck a pig...live on national television, broadcast globally. A for Awesome..:biggrin:

I'm laid up with some health issues so a friend of mine lent me his Amazon Fire Stick to kill some time.

Figured out how to work it and this thing is awesome. Caught up on all The StarWars movies and have a bunch of still in theater stuff to check out. My tv has an interface for youtube and amazon buily in, but this is smoother an easier to navigate.

Going to check the thread for any apps that he may not have loaded.

Went looking for Hacksaw Ridge a few days ago. The stream I found was from some guy with a hand held camera in a theater...he was not adding to the cinematic experience..lol

I'll have to take a second look.

Those are CAM versions. I never watch those, just ruins it for me. I just finished it on the Silent Hunter addon in 1080p, a perfect run...HD versions just came on Kodi yesterday.

I keep an eye on VUDU, which is the first to get HD quality movies after the theater. I never buy them on VUDU, that's just how I know when Kodi has it, because the developer(s) buys it, rips it, and throws it up there that day...:tiphat:

Doctor Strange HD came on yesterday. Used Silent Hunter again. This addon seems to start them up quickly, usually in 1080p

So I've decided on a new television with my taxes. I'm going to go with the Samsung Quantum Dot 60". Seems #1 in many different places. Has the latest HDR 4k, shit should pop, my #2 was the new LG super uhd...which is $500 less. Thank goodness I'm blissfully stupid with money...:biggrin:

Well I downloaded Kodi on my computer after hearing my barber rave about it and added on Exodus for movies and tv. Wow. The selection. I can't help but to be paranoid that this seems extremely illegal. I have HOXX Vpn set up on firefox. Is that enough or do I need more security?

Thinking about getting a fire stick so I can watch via my TV. Roku isn't compatible, correct?

You're fine without a vpn or security, and it's not illegal for you b/c you're the end user. You're just clicking on internet links, and streaming....NOT downloading. 100% legal...:tiphat: :tiphat:

Yes, but seo-michael has now gravitated away from Kodi into other apps and things. He only does a little Kodi stuff now. The link I just posted is about 95% Kodi shit, and he keeps it updated daily. There's a few other places like KodiTips, and others, but I like this guy b/c he puts the newest updated addons right smack on his home page so ya can't miss em, with simple instructions for folks...:tiphat:

Life with KODI = Sweet :)

Black Mirror - ****
Incorporated - *****
Arrival - thumbs down... what a piece of crap (IMHO sorry)
Kim's Convenience - :) :) :) :)
Sherlock on Masterpiece [last season] (wretchedly awful self-absorbed whiny, where is the mystery?) - the first seasons showed promise.

So much fun with the KODI, I don't mise cable at all... and the selection of news channels is quite worthy. I like seeing the world news, not the US Fake News.

Live streaming is the way to go in this modern world!

How was the picture quality of Arrival and other recent movies? I tried to watch Rogue One and it was awful. Then streamed an older movie and it was crystal clear.

There was definately not much happening in the Arrival, I agree. Reminded me of last years space movie fail "The 5th Wave", with the spaceship that just sat there, and didn't do anything. I can't remember if I actually even saw an alien:)
