Trying to Watch CNN US

[generica]

Good lord it is horrible ....

[musatanee]

What's horrible ? The news that your watching ?

[generica]

No the fact that it is not watchable ... can't get more than 10 seconds without it breaking up or stuttering...

I can't freaking believe this, when you say "Time to make your DONATIONS!!!!!" do you mean just give me money so I can keep trying to get something working or are you just selling vaporware?

I can't watch any of the channels for that matter, must be the time of day!

[musatanee]

Everyone knows what your talking about ! Try rebooting your modem, box and use only hard wire connection for internet first. Anyway the server is new and they are working on that issue. They did post it will be a freeze free service so we just need to chill till they get it right. Just give them some time and im sure we will all be happy with the service !

[built2last]

if a channel freezes or buffers watch a different channel they will fix it...it's getting better every day fox news plays good lol

[generica]

I am happy with the service don't get me wrong, when it works it works, no issues there....

What I am having a problem with is there are too many ways to skin the one single cat in this game!

:)

If I see one more post about "my service is perfect" I will blow a 50000000 watt fuse!
LOL

I have tried it on several platforms but they are all having a certain degree of lag including at some points in time being utterly frustrating, for the moment I am using an M8 Android box one of those Quad Core boxes you get off the web. I also tried it on windows and now tonight i tried it on OpenELC and even there it was buffering.

What baffles me is I have a pretty solid wired connection at an avg of 90+mpbs so what gives. :)

I'm using the playercorefactory.xml in kodi to use MPV player as my default player in kodi..mpv player lets you pause the stream to fill the buffer up..i was playing around and left it on pause the buffer just keeps filling up and resumes right at the point of pausing it....also super easy to record the stream now using mpv player..It's amazing what you can find on youtube there are so many guys doing kodi videos

Running an M8 also, i have changed the software on the box to Megatron, am running 35 mps down, the biggest improvement i made was to install the app, "clean master" anytime i have had a problem, or error messages, i hit the clean master and cleared out the junk files and it runs well, if im having problems and cant watch anything and the clean master doesnt fix it for me, then its on the server end, i run the clean master at the end of the day

Megatron, did not look but is that another release of android or what is that exactly?

[Roach46]

Different operating system for the m8, the factory stuff took a dump on mine, blue light on all the tine, and some other issues,

I found a youtube on how to flash the rom for Megatron and some other ROMS just not sure there is any major gain unless as you said your box went kaput.

I might buy a spare and take a chance on flashing that one with Megatron and see what happens.

Yes my box crapped out, so did a couple of my friends, i reloaded everything, they ran fine for a few days then back to crapping out, Its a good idea to get another box, , installing another rom, you do run the risk of "bricking it" as its called, just a little while ago i was fooling around with my box, then went to watch cnn, and it wouldn't load, nothing would load, was getting an error message, i went out of kodi, and did the clean master, and its fine now, you can also do a hard reset on your box with a toothpick,

So you basically added any apk's that were not part of the ROM itself, I noticed the Megatron seemed to have Kodi and XMBC and it looked like Modbro as well + showbox so it seems loaded down pretty good.

I like that you can chose your launcher too, will have to do a little more digging as I was also investigating OPENELC as well.
