Everyone has their own opinions mate, don't let people put you off


I happen to think wizards are an excellent introduction to the kodi world

And then when you learn a bit more on the subject you will be better equipped to chose which way you go

Try this one as an introduction

On a pc if you make a mistake or something doesn’t install just go to

C:/ users / username name / appdata / roaming / kodi/

And delete all the contents of that kodi directory

Then you will have a fresh copy of kodi to start again

Any problems just shout

If you want to try a wizard thats not too big try the black box build its only 300 MB and is not full of crap like most of the other builds out there and that includes the full version of the Wookie as well which is nearly one gig in size. But if you've got the time build your own.

Can I install and run it on a firestick?

 

[alimac]

firestick will handle most if not all the bloated wizards just not recommended as some are massive

I have messed about with fire sticks for the last few months trying different builds on them. My conclusion is that less is more on the fire stick as it has limited ram. I feel that builds like the beast and the Wookie at nearly 1 GB in size are far too big and will slow any machine down. I have noticed the smaller your build the more responsive Kodi seems. I have run the blackbox build which is only 300 MB on the fire stick and it seems to run okay. It uses the CCM confluence skin which i use myself and is very customisable. But as Alimac says if you've got the time install Kodi and just install the add-ons you need 20 max. Make sure one of them is raw maintenance and use it regularly to clean out your user data. Also make sure you back up your build, so if anything goes wrong you don't have to reinstall everything.
If you don't know how to set the cachemembuffer size. The areswizard has a great advanced setting wizard tool in the tweak option. This will work out the cachemembuffersize for you, based on the amount of RAM your machine
has. Kodi will use 60mb RAM by default. You can Install the blackbox from the areswizard. Link below.

Never had any issues on firestick with buffering, is it worth adjusting cachemembuffer size?
Thanks

 

[alimac]

it can be if having issues but personally do not have much trouble with buffering default usage is 20mbx3

have a few settings for different usage stick lappy etc more useful on lappy & android boxes can optomise usage better

If your system can't handle the main wookie then go for the wookie lite

don't put people off with inaccurate statements

138.27 MB to be precise

If your not having issues with the default setting leave as it is. But for people installing.
builds from wizards. Some builds could have the incorrect cachemembuffer size and overwrite the default setting and this can cause issues. You can manually set kodi cache setting useing adb fire or use the default setting. The areswizard has a tweak tool that will work it for you based on how much spare ram your machine has.

@idrob
Oh dear we do get upset when others don't agree.

 

[alimac]

example memory on lappy = 6 gig would adjust xml settings to use 4 gig to not over stress kodi

I am just giving people my opinion on the many different builds I have tried. Not just the one that you keep touting for some reason. I will stand by my statement that the main wookie is nearly 1 GB in size and is far too bloated like many of the other builds out there. If you want I can install the Wookie lite and give it a review. Either on zoomtak t8 or firestick take you pick.

 

[alimac]

also bear in mind kodi on windows wipes the floor with android devices

Note: If very slow download server or slow ISP, there is nothing that will help that. Also if you have a low end cpu or low ram, nothing will help that either. Hardware always effects playback.

I used to run xbmc on my lappy and it used to run flawlessly. The only reason I have an android machine is that a mate of mine got it cheap from the states and I also like to use some of the other android apps.
