Your Best Kodi Build: What should I download?

Your Best Build


You may be just starting out on your kodi journey, or maybe grabbed a new device, could be an update but everyone has the same question. You are dying to ask the question and the temptation is killing you.  What’s your best build? What should I download? Finding yourself wanting to fit in and have the “best build” is a problem that faces too many.  Anyone who has spent any time in the community knows this is the most asked question.


Once this question has been asked it is like a can of worms being opened. Then will follow random comments naming numerous builds all claiming they have the best one. These will be a mixture of what the person commenting uses and builders trying to promote themselves. After all these random people telling you what you should like, you will find yourself no better than  you were to start.  In some cases you could be more confused.

I am too familiar with how it feels to be a newcomer to the Kodi World. Free streaming and tech can seem so overwhelming when  you are first starting out. Now you have to find someone or a group to trust to clue you in on the best place to learn. Everyone claiming they have all the answers but then become too busy when you need them most. Let’s face it your goal is to figure out how to setup, run, and maintain your home streaming media center. Of course you want it to be the best; however, you also want it tailored to suit your needs and personal preferences.


Personal Experience


Now I know from my own personal experience in Facebook Kodi/Streaming Community how hard it is to begin. It is like you show up a decade too late to the party and everyone already knows each other and everyone has all the answers.  No one says they are the right answers but everyone seems to have them. On top of not exactly knowing what is going on it is going to seem like everyone is speaking a foreign language.

First off, let me assure you there isn’t a person alive who was born knowing all this information. Therefore, despite what some may lead you to believe, each and every one of us started out as confused as you. We all needed some basic guidance to help find a way to decipher all the information being thrown at us. In addition, we all have different learning styles so finding someone to accommodate this can be even more difficult. For most people, their entertainment center is their quiet place, their safe place, and the place they go to relax.


What is your best build?




What’s the best build? This can be answered quite simply with just three words: There isn’t one. You might be asking why we cannot quantify which is the best build out there and there is a rational reason. There isn’t a best build because no two people actually want or expect the exact same thing from any build. This question is truly as arbitrary as “what is the best food”. Just like in my example we all have our own tastes whether they are eating or viewing tastes. Not only are our tastes different but our needs are also.

Some people may be looking for a build that is centred around Movies/TV Series and want no sports; others may be looking for a build only focused on sports. It even goes beyond this because some might have color blindness or not like the background style a builder chose. As you can see the question of best build just seems as silly as can be and there truly will never be an answer.

Choosing a build comes down to one thing alone: personal preference. There will be one build you will prefer above all others for whatever reason. So the best way to find your build is to get stuck in and try some for yourself. We each have our own technical setup, different devices, Operating systems, and technical knowledge. With all this being said; it only stands to reason you are required to test builds for yourself.



A Step in The Right Direction


All that being said, I know you are probably sitting there now saying to yourself. “Well that helpful….Not!! So if we change the question slightly from ‘What is the Best Build’ To What build will bring me the Best’ there is only one above all others that stands out. As mentioned find a build is not hard there is a plentiful supply at any one time. What you anyone new or not as confident with all this actually needs is to find A well maintained, well Supported build that is kept updated with the latest and greatest Kodi and free streaming has to offer.

A Build with A Real Community


In all my time within the Kodi Community I can honestly say that I have never Seen or heard of a build that is updated so often. These builds are maintained and developed by a team who take real pride in their work. They want the best and they want to give you the best. They have built a support group that very quickly became so much more. On entering this group after being in most of the other ‘Support Groups’ you feel like you stepped in a different world. Not a single question goes unanswered day or night. More importantly than that the answers are never the dreaded Smart A$$ or otherwise  derogatory, Non-Helpful answers you come to expect in Kodi Facebook Groups. You will NEVER hear the classicly annoying ‘Google it’ reply to any question. The team actually care about their Members and effortlessly go that extra mile to accommodate any requests, requirements or issues. It’s so refreshing to enter a group where everybody is just happily getting along and where the team and Members alike all take such pride in making sure anyone that needs help. Gets help.

What is This Amazing Community With the Fabulous Build?

Kodi Add-ons that have 4K Ultra HD Movie Links

4K Ultra HD Movie Links, Where Can I Find Them This article will provide a list of current Kodi Add-ons that supply links to 4K Ultra HD also known as Ultra High Definition or UHD. Before we get started, it is important to understand what 4K Resolution is and what devices should be used. What is 4K Ultra HD? 4K Ultra-HD is about Four times the resolution of an 1080p (HD) TV. The screen resolution is 3840 x 2160, or 2160p vs what most TV sets still have, which is just 1920 x 1080p. A 4K television displays about 8 million pixels. Without boring you all, here is an excellent article from Wikipedia that breaks down 4K much better than I could. So read at your leisure, it’s not long but well written and can be found  here . Movie Quality keeps getting better. Because 4K is still a relatively new visual medium for movies, you can find a small number of 4K streams available through different Kodi add-ons. The best Kodi add-ons for 4K movies are actually some that you may already have install

H.265 HEVC and H.264, Understanding the Difference

 H.265 HEVC and H.264 The Goal of this article is to help you understand some of the new technology that is having a direct affect on Movie Quality and Streaming on your device. One in particular is the new Compression Format called H.265 or HEVC. What the on earth is that you ask ? Here’s some background that will help you understand, without getting to “techie”….. I hope. What is H.265 aka HEVC. HEVC  (High Efficiency Video Coding, sometimes called  H.265 ) is a new video compression format and is the successor of H.264. It was formalized on the 25th of November 2013 and published as  ISO/IEC 23008-2:2013 . An open source HEVC decoder and encoder ( x265 ) has been developed and is widely adopted. High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), also known as H.265, promises twice the compression possible with Blu-ray’s best video compression methods. But how does it work, and is it enough to get us better-looking 4K content? HVEC vs H.264 A technical comparison (with thanks Ana Rodrigues) : Both

Removing Old/ Non-Working Add-ons & Repositories

Removing Old Add-ons/Repositories Removing Add-ons and Repositories that no longer function is a natural progression of our theme directed towards new users to Kodi. As we all know, sometimes an Add-on or a Repository will cease to function for no fault of our own. But what is the best way to remove these? We will provide you the easiest method to remove an individual Add-on as well as the associated Repository. In addition we’ll also show you how to remove any URL Sources in File Manager. Why Removing Add-ons/Repos is Important While it appears the advice concerning repositories is factual and from reliable sources, you may have by mistake installed a Repo/ Add-on that may be malicious or may be using addons that are not from reliable sources. A perfect example is this excellent article concerning Kodil-Exodus-Indigo Blog. As a result, these should be removed as soon as possible. Lets start with a single Add-on. Removing Add-ons First step after opening Kodi is to Click Add-0ns .

Kodi Audio Settings: Understanding the Options Available

Advanced Audio Settings The object of this Blog is to provide as much Information about the Audio Settings in Kodi/SPMC with out making it look like the Tech Specs. of an “Audiophiles” Sound System. I have to admit when I first looked in XBMC/Kodi, these options left me scratching my head. Thinking these are very complicated. Well they still do ! But once the different features and options were explained to me, it became quite easy. Understanding how to utilize these to enhance my use of Kodi/SPMC became a bit clearer. I certainly hope this article will do the same. Not just for those who have just started using Kodi, but for “veterans” as well who wish to know more about these settings. *Hint, if you make a mistake (and you will) when changing any settings, remember….Default is your friend. You can always start over. Need help? click here . The examples shown are Jarvis 16.1. I will also provide a brief description on how to find Audio Settings in Krypton 17.3, but they are 99.9 % th

Deleting Old non-working URL's from File Manager

Deleting URL’s from File Manager We have all used the File Manager in Kodi to install different URL’s for various links to Repositories or Add-ons.  Links become redundant for a number or reasons; however, the most common reason is abandonment by the developer.  A perfect example is the TVA Fusion link, it became invalid and the link will no longer connect. Why remove the url links ? Keeping these URL links installed in File Manager is harmless, but keeping the file manager uncluttered is never a bad habit.  Some of you may have typed the wrong url address by mistake.  Instead of removing it right away, you just re-type the correct url address.  I know how easy that is having done that myself on occasion.  As a result, you have many duplicate sources in your File Manager section. The removal method is exactly the same for Jarvis & Krypton.  Yet, I have combined photo examples for both just so you can follow along.  While I was looking for a good repo to pick I stum
