Pennywise Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Switched my router off for 24 hours over the weekend there, couldn't get anything to play yesterday. I wonder if talk talk have sneakily added something to block the streams. Hadn't rebooted for months and everything worked fine beforwI'm having problems with talk talk. I don't think anything been blocked, its just no one can use the internet at the same time! If I'm streaming a movie or game as soon as someone goes on their phone or laptop the stream stops.

Rudolf's Mate Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 If everything has stopped working then depending on your provider log into your router and check something's not activated. For BT it's called Smart Setup and plays havoc with Kodi. You need to disable it. For Sky I think it's called shield. For other providers just google the name of your provider and blocking Kodi and it should give you instructions. If my router has an update or reboots my Smart Setup can sometimes re-activate.

OBE Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 had to download apk for matrix tv i think i used es Explorer , cant remember where from though and i just start up Ip vanish on my fire box before i connect to matrix. If i can find the site i?ll let you know Cheers, I'll find it. Downloader as opposed to es explorer should do the same job. This seems a mighty simpler set-up than Kodi.

Disco Dave Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Interested to hear the take on Ace and other IPTV services. Sportsmania buffering is doing my head in. My sub still has a few months to run but time to try something else. I have a wired 42 meg connection, AFTV box, PIA vpn...... all worked generally flawlessly for past couple of years but the streams have gone to shit much like their customer service. I?ve had great value over the years though so cant complain really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraggle Rock Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Wiped my kodi and done a fresh start as i did have a fair bit of keek on it that i had been playing about with and it is all fine now. Anyone been able to add a TMDB list to Elysium, i followed the instructions and added my list but when i go into "My Elysium" then "TMDB watchlist" my folder is there but nothing happens when i click on it, do i need a "API" key ?.

Doesn?t lower my download speed at all and the app is very simple to use (on Windows, Android or IOS).

luckyBatistuta Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Are the people having problems all with sky for broadband? I'm with BT bud, its jumping every few seconds, just not watchable. A lot of football links won't play at all, but when I used a vpn (IPVanish) it just buffered endlessly. Was thinking about trying another vpn, as I was watching through Kodi, which is through my wifi. Idiot that I am, I forgot to try and watch the football (SM) on my computer, which is hard wired.

Rudolf's Mate Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 After constantly singing its praises Ace has been a pile of shite for me late afternoon. It was spot on for lunchtime KO however even with VPN it was a buffering mess. I did manage to get the Chelsea v City game on NBCSN however the picture quality was pretty bad. Luckily my Mania only just ran out however Jack D gave me the current code. Again having to watch the game on NBCSN however the quality is far greater. Not sure what's happened to Ace but I'm not sure I'll be renewing when it comes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot I've not even heard of before.mornin mate, I use perfect player on my firestick and mega iptv on my phone, my firestick will occasionally buffer when I'm at home with 100mb(pretty sure it's virgin throttling my line) whilst at work I'm on my works wifi which is only 12mb if you're lucky and it plays everything perfect. This being said my mate(who deals with all this server stuff) says that they have been too busy trying to maintain steady streams for footie that other channels are neglected when the footie is on. We are part of a closed fb group, he's kinda like a middleman for them and many people text him with issues to the extent that he says when our subs are up he's moving us over to a new provider as he's fed up with all the moaning texts he's getting for really stupid things. I've no idea when my subs up but when he switches it over for me I'll let you know how it is mate. Now that I've said all this I hope I don't jinx myself with today's games [emoji23]????
