Rudolf's Mate Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Do you have ES Explorer on the Stick? You can just add the address to that and it'll download direct to the Stick.

Rudolf's Mate Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 It says download tknorris zip file and when I click, it downloads to my laptop. Normally I type the repo address into kodi manually. Just a thought. I use Fusion (TVaddons) for a lot of repo's because it's easy, reliable and maintained well. If you've got it on the stick all you need do is go to system, settings, addons, install from zip, Fusion, xbmc-repos, English and scroll down to tknorris repo. Most of the best addons are in repos available in Fusion and is worthwhile having. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've got Fire TV or Stick navigate to the top of the main menu and select the search function. Enter ES File And then arrow down to where it says and it will search and bring up a few options. You want the one called ES File Explorer. Should actually be the first option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dode41 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I have taken the dip & bought a box with Kodi installed, what's the best movie & sports apps? Or things I need to down load? Add the Showbox and Sportsmania apps to the box,you'll find them in the play store. Sportsmania is ?50 for the year but well worth it. Adding apps to the box is a more reliable way to view streams and live content imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf's Mate Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Got that to work. Cheers. Good stuff Whenever I hear of an addon I don't have and it's not clear which repo it's in I always Google 'which repo is x in' and you'll always find the answer in first 3 it returns. Then it's just a case of checking Fusion for the repo. No doubt you'll come across some which aren't in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmarkus1981 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I'll try. Using Genesis for example. Select a tv show you like and press the button that brings up the Properties. Select 'add to library'. This doesn't appear to do any thing. However, head to Genesis Settings/Library Settings. When you click the Properties button on the tv show folder you can set it's contents to 'tv shows' and it will add to your library. Appearing as if it's actually on your device but the links open on genesis. Apologies if this doesn't make sense, on my phone again. I'll find a couple of guides and paste them Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown user Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Got you. What's the benefit of that over having all my favourites saved within Genesis already, which they are...? It centralises your media in one place So, if you download some TV shows, the files can be added to the library although they're not streams. You could also add things from other addons to the library, so instead of having to go into Genesis, or 1channel, or remember what shows are kept where, it's all inside your centralised TV Shows library, complete with episode info, actor info, genre etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bought an Amazon Fire 7 tablet for ?35. No TV in the bedroom so this will do for a nice Kodi screen when I want to watch things in bed. Cracking price for what you get.

Rudolf's Mate Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I have tried this, but the ES Explorer option isn't there, any ideas where I am going wrong? Did you try just typing in ES File and press the down on the circle (equivalent or down arrow) to highlight/select which then performs the search? Amazon removed it from the Fire searches a few weeks ago ,earning you couldn't download it. Even grabbing it from the Amazon website it didn't work but then it was back again. If that doesn't work you can go to the Amazon website and search for it in the apps section. Grab it from there and then go to your Fire Stick or Box and into settings and my account. From there sync Amazon Content. If that doesn't work, just above the sync option is your account info, click into that and de-register the box and then re-register it again and sync. If I'm being honest, if the search isn't working I doubt this will as I reckon Amazon might have pulled it or they're preventing it being downloaded again. If the above fails there are other ways such as side loading it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that you can have a wired connection with the box. If you're unable to hard wire due to your router being too far away then there's little between them tbh.
