Kodi and Streaming Guides

If you have one of zgemma or Vu (enigma based) device you may not be aware that you can access and control your device from Kodi. This is pretty simple and quick to setup and will open up a whole bunch of options for you eg. watch your recordings on any device with Kodi (on the same network), set recordings on your receiver from any device running Kodi on your home network ( this can also be dome remotely and I will cover this in another blog), check on what recordings are set and even delete them if needed. There is a bit of jumping around in this tutorial as I have to cover a few different scenarios, I hope this doesn’t make it confusing, but feel free to leave comments. I will have a section created on Ares Forum for more support if its needed. Setup Process Set Fixed IP on zGemma Check OpenWebIf is installed and set correctly. Make a Custom Favourites List (optional) Add PVR to Kodi Configure PVR Receiver Setup The first step is to give the receiver device a fixed IP address, ...

You will no doubt be aware that since the  5.0.5.1_user_537175520 update, Firestarter was disabled (I hope to have a patched version shortly) and Amazon now show Kodi in the recent options (though strangely this worked on my FireTV box but NOT the Firestick – updates to follow. Its also not gone unnoticed that for some “strange” reason you cant click the download options if you browse to the Kodi downloads page – I mean really? There is no doubt the Amazon are engaged in “active disruption” to users trying to load Kodi. This post will show you how to get around this and save links for later use should you need it.

Its not very often a really great new add on comes along and makes me really take notice, which sounds a bit blase – but actually its because this new add on from Project Cypher is VERY good, I am really impressed with the work they’ve done. I had quick chat with Steve and Jamie and they have kindly let me look at this prior to release – so you cant get it just yet but keep an eye on the repo for it appearing – this is going to be a must have TV addon. Overview of Project Cypher TV This is a neat multi-scraper based addon so plenty of sources to get content from – everything I tested (about 20 different ones) worked and its current (had Peaky Blinders S03E01), so they have really done their ground work on this.
