Frustrating experience

[generica]

Well I am totally flustered, I think I will take a torch to the Box and never go near it again!!!!!

Tried to watch a show season premier today and it was horrible, buffering, audio cutting out and lord knows what else.

If IPTV is the future ... give me back my Rabbit Ears!


I just hope better things are ahead for this concept but for now it is really not living up to the hype.

I updated to 15.1 in the hope that it would be better but it only appeared that way for about 30 minutes, maybe it's me
it is an Android box after all.

I have slow connection, but i don't get buffering because i use Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.

Wired connection is your best bet with a slow internet service provider.

Get a Ethernet cable if you haven't already.

I use a mag254 and have found it great lately watched the LA Galaxy game on sky sports without buffer, again I use Ethernet as better connection, also I had saw on some forums people saying newest kodi gave them buffering

I really think is ips having routing issues with streaming not the service its self.

I have a wired connection and a 50mpbs internet service, so who knows ... I even turned off everything wireless device on my network to be sure and the buffering was just as bad and the sound kept cutting out too.

Then I tried the same channel on another app on the Android box and the same channel was not buffering at all nor sound cutting out, I have a feeling the NFPS servers are busy.

are you running kodi 15.1 MR???

[Stavman]

I was watching a Discovery turbo just now on kodi with pvr stalker and it was freezing every few seconds, now I switched to the emulator and it's working flawlessly. This is on the same android box, a Tronsmart Vega89. I am running kodi 15.2.
I don't know if that helps anyone in pinpointing the feezing issue.

I have both android with stb emulator and Mag254 boxes. The Mag wins for connectivity and performance here.

i use kodi 14.2 on an android mx3 box using iptv66 server with no issues at all maybe an occasional skip ...some people expect too much from iptv services there is a lot of factors involved

Service lags as sh.it. I can barely watch anything, in fact it's unwatchable. I can't watch ppv events, regular espn or local channels. I have a feeling this is a server issue. I have ethernet and 50MB connection, but im also experiencing lag with my fire tv and kodi via the staker addon. I will try my android tablet and report later to see if I see any difference in performance.

me on avov the whole family is running good on them

[generica]

I am using Kodi 15.1 even though it mentioned 15.2 on the update and that makes no difference at all. So now I will look into this STB emulator thing which is what exactly?

See the end game is not to make this so complicated that the average person can't use it. I don't mind jumping through hoops or even clicking lord knows what to get to a channel but
others may not be so inclined.

So I will look for STB emulator and see what that animal eats for winter.... Also does it run on Android KitKat boxes ?
