Another question

[Simone0414]

The box I have works pretty good but I would like to improve on it. The box I have has 1gb. I have read more then once that 2gb boxes are better. Why is that? Does it buffer less? Load faster?

What is the best box I can by without spending an arm & a leg?

My personal favorite is the avov tvonline plus fast and easy to use

I so suggest getting a box with 2 gigs of ram Kodi runs alot better on the new 2015-2016 android boxes

This is the box I'm using now i love it this thing will run anything you throw at it...you can't beat a 4k box for 50 bucks

One of the problems with those $50 boxes the remote is the cheapest p.s. so you have to spend more money to get Portable Remote for Android or baseball bat to get it to work not worth it to be cheap. Pay the extra and get all in one that works out of the box. AVOV all the way:cool:

Yup the remote is a P.O.S. I bought a wireless keyboard.

This box you speak of will it reduce/eliminate the buffering/slow loading I experience at times. Last night my box was a real turd. Wouldn't run much of anything. I realize this could be my internet connection & also how many other devices are being used on my WIFI as well.

Very frustrating though.

[Simone0414]

Is this it ?

If your internet is good the Avov will run IPTV better then a android but that's my opinion and i've tested a few different platform

[Simone0414]

I did a speed test on my internet & the results was 50mbps. Is that good enough? Everything else I run off the internet seems to work good.

Is IPTV & Kodi the same thing?

[Farmer1]

should be I run mine of 5mbps

You running off WIFI or Ethernet?

[Simone0414]

So most likely its the box I have that's the issue. Figures I bought the cheapest one I could find. Get what you pay for I guess.

[Farmer1]

You running off WIFI or Ethernet?

I run off WiFi
Have you ever tried netflix and does that stream ok
From what i heard it could also be your provider blocking the stream

I tried Netflix & it works wayyy better. So that must mean my WiFi is working ok & the box itself is too.. I'm using Genesis mostly. Is anyone have problems with it? Not only am I having trouble with slow loading/buffering but I am finding that alot of streams I click on come up saying no stream available.

I have cleared my cache & loaded kodi 15.2. This seemed to help a bit.

Kodi is still being a turd though.

[Simone0414]

Some other info I should add. I have two of these boxes. Neither runs kodi very well. I also run it on my laptop. Works just as bad on it too. Have it on my desktop & it is not WIFI. Ethernet cable. Works the best on the desktop but still far from great.

Why would Netflix work nearly perfect on all my devices but not Kodi?

Sorry for boring everyone with so many questions. Only way this newbie is gonna learn.

[whatsup745]

Sounds like you need to tweek your Genesis settings.
Your likely selecting all the crappy servers. There are several tutorials on how to Prioritize the servers in your list so the better ones show up top.

Also Genesis itself hasn't had a proper update in a little bit as the dev is pre-occupied with a bigger project and he has put Genesis on the backburner for now.

You can also try this to see if it helps.... http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?1620-Turn-on-auto-play-in-Genesis-%28no-more-dead-links%29

Just posted this also which should help..do both for best results.. http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?12080-Prioritize-Hosts-in-GENESIS-to-reduce-quot-No-Steam-available-quot-Trick-!!

[Simone0414]

So I have implemented most of what you suggested & it has made Genesis more user friendly but still doesn't work good. It will now find a stream on its own that works but once it starts it is constantly buffering. In watching these videos I have read comments that Genesis is not being "kept up" like it was. Is it just that Genesis is just not working as good as it used to & I need to use a different addon? If so what's a good one?

[Simone0414]

Well I tried using a different addon( Primewire) & it worked wayyyy better. Night & day difference. So it must have been Genesis that's causing my problems.
