Need advice on cutting cable cost.

thats the shame of andoid boxes. they are cheap but new builds. if bug free is what you need for the WAF, your best bet would be a NUC.

Finally got 1channel up and running. It's a game changer.

I'm thinking of booting Dtv as well...

It's just more developed with more reliable streams than ice films.

Since installing it this morning, I've caught up on the Walking Dead and my kids are now watching the new Percy Jackson.


Oh, just so you know: 1channel is just an add on for XBMC.

You'd be surprised how quickly the kids learn to navigate XBMC. My daughter can do just about anything at this point. Navigate different plugins, search, browse genres, even add shows to the library so it notifies you when there's a new episode of the TV series you add.

Anyone familiar with the premium streaming sites like offsidestreams or starstreams? Supposedly, they offer live sports in 720p for a few dollars a month. After all the trouble I had with Sports Devil during the Pacman fight this Saturday, I am debating on getting it. Waiting for torrents the following morning doesnt work well for sports.

Get acestream installed then go to www.wiziwig.tv I was watching a 2000kbps stream of the fight using acestream in vlc player. I had it set to a 20 second delay. I had not one buffer, or loss of signal through the whole fight.

any issues with security with acestream? i have read it does shady things to your ports for a potential back door. I have used wiziwig a lot. seems like the community prefers streamtorrent for football.

Question: I've saved some shows into my library on 1channel. Where do those then appear? I'd like to be able to quickly navigate back to a series I'm watching without having yo browse to it or search for it.

I'm using the Confluence skin, if that makes a difference.
Currently there is no "library" tab under the video tab at the moment on my box. In screenshots of others I've seen, there is one.

You have to add a Video Files source. The Library won't show up until you add a movies or TV folder.

First go to 1Channel addon settings. Go to the Library Integration tab. Set your download folders for movies and TV. Remember where you set them. This is where it will store the strm files.

Then go to main XBMC screen. Go to Videos\Files. Click Add Videos. Then add the folder that you set in the 1Channel addon settings. Tell it whether the folder is movies or TV. Then have it scan the folder for new content. After that, you'll see a new entry appear in the main XBMC screen for your Library.

Here's a video:



You can skip to about the 2min mark, and see how to add movies or skip to 5:20 to see how to add TV to the Library.

Sweet. Thanks man. Another hurdle down. Now I've got to try to get airplay to work.

Most of this stuff is super easy and quick after you've done it a couple of times (which you'll end up doing, most likely due to having to reset the box on occasion).

Thats why I am practicing on my PC and tablet.

So it looks like I have to jump through some hoops to set up .strm files to add into my library? But when I "add to library" from 1channel, they have to be saving somewhere? I should be able to browse to that location through "add video source" right?
