Casting from Kodi / xmbc query

[StGallsGAA]

If anyone uses Kodi/xmbc to cast to chromecast, Roku  or Firestick are you able to cast live sports?   I can play the sports channels on the tablet but they won't cast to chromecast.  Movies etc cast fine.

Don't believe this is possible. Did a good bit of looking into this a while ago and it's quite a bit of week for the Kodi devs to implement casting

[StGallsGAA]

Cheers Ben.  Thought the Firestick might have been able to do it, but maybe not.

I'm pretty sure the Firestick can, hope so anyways I'm awaiting delivery of one which was bought for that exact purpose..

Don't know if you can cast as such to firestick from your tablet, but you can sideload Kodi / XBMC directly onto the firestick, and run directly from there.

That's what I meant too

Just get a android TV box and feck all that casting nonsense.

Must say casting can really get on the nads when it doesn't work.  What type of box do you recommend LL and does it give you a stable stream?

[laoislad]

There's loads out there.
Get something quad core and preloaded with Kodi already.
€100 should get you a decent one. Try eBay.

The one I have is only dual core and works a treat.

May have mentioned this before, but this guy vdubt25 does good tutorials on different apps to install etc and is now also doing reviews on different boxes;

The Amiko A3 sounds great but a bit pricey compared to my £25 RPi

What boxes/devices are you guys all using? I have it on a samsung tablet, laptop & raspberry pi, but find it most reliable on the laptop. (sometimes have buffering/cache issues on the RP0

I currently have it on a laptop, where it works top class, waiting on delivery of a Firestick which I was attracted to because of cost (£25) and portability I'll report back on its success..

I followed that vdubt25 too when I was beginning, excellent easy to follow tutorials. A wee note of warning, his own Kodi addon is currently offline but I'm sure it'll be back before long. He's one of the best for sky/livesport

thanks also, but I've tried it a good few times and when I hit play I don't get the option to select an external source, it only plays internally

Maybe handy for people starting out using Kodi: download the TVMC app for Android ( tvaddons.ag ). It comes preloaded with the main zips like IceFilms & Genesis for movies. Saves a bit of hassle researching and individually loading the addons

Thanks.
