The faster load times with 17 are great. Reinstalling all my add-ons after the update was not.

There's just no way it can continue. It's too good. And easy. ISP's are gonna crack down. There's just no way.

Yes - it plugs into any device with an HDMI input. It is about 10x harder to install and setup than the Firestick, but once you get it, it is great! I ended up going simple... installed Retropie, then adding Kodi 17 through the optional packages. Built three of these things now... one for me and two for friends.63schoeffling wrote:Oh yeah?

Purchased some NES30 Pro controllers and Rii i8+ mini wireless keyboard/mouse... a PowerBlock for a safe on/off switch... the setup is nearly flawless!
Strange... There were a couple of other variables at play for me... like Kodi v17, which is a huge improvement from v16, and the ability to connect the Pi3 via Ethernet (instead of wifi on the stick). I think the processor speeds are pretty similar between the Pi3 and newest Firestick, but the Pi3 defiantly works better for me.turdferguson wrote:When I did the pi3 it was the slowest of everything...

you can install Kodi on top of RetroPie? I did not know that.kcn0 wrote:Yes - it plugs into any device with an HDMI input.

I have a RaspPi3 with RetroPie that I built with the kids to have an arcade on the tv . . . didn't know I could run/install Kodi through it.

For someone just looking to get into this, with a $100-150 budget, what would you recommend? Fast interface is a must, flexibility, VPN support and any DVR capabilities would be great. I would mostly want to stream HD, but got a new 4k TV last December and have decent DL speed.
Thanks

I use ip vanish. It's about $8/month but you just launch the app on fire stick and watch whatever.Prisco077 wrote:Anyone use a VPN through the firestick?
Personally, I love it for movies (Exodus) , TV, and live sports(Sports Devil and Pro Sport). It even has subtitle addons if you're so inclined. They definitely helped out with Apocalypto
