Nothing. I used that method on a friends firestick this past weekend. If Kodi gives you issues and you decide to do a fresh install you'll have to use the method Caddo posted. I used ES explorer to install kodi on my original firestick but deleted it now that it can't be used to install Kodi.

well, anybody get the prompt for krypton 17.1?

17.0 hasnt worked for me the last two days

i'ma d/l 17.1 and see if that fixes it but basically they are saying that a bunch of the servers are now adding the s in https and that the 17.1 is the only version that recognizes these

i may have said something incorrectly tho

i got a message saying that i need to update my version of Kodi because the old version won't be supported,but the

current version is still working for me.

a few of my sports streams for UK football (soccer) on SportsDevil have stopped working recently. Maybe this is why? Movies and TV shows on Exodus still been working fine though

Looks like I spoke to soon.

This might not be the news you want to hear, but upgrading to the latest version of Kodi is pretty much necessary if you want to continue to enjoy streaming the way you want to. More and more streaming sites are moving to HTTPS, and older versions of Kodi do not offer HTTPS support. This means that at this point you really have no choice but to upgrade to Kodi 17.1 Krypton. This isn’t something that’s just going to go away, might as well do it now. Don’t sweat it though, upgrading Kodi is not very difficult.

If you’re still on an older version of Kodi, you may have noticed that many sources (particularly HD ones) don’t load anymore. Despite the many complaints we receive, this has nothing to do with us or our Kodi addons, it has to do with your Kodi version not supporting HTTPS. Sooner or later all sites will be streaming sources, at which point older versions of Kodi will be rendered useless. Once you’ve upgraded to Kodi 17.1 Krypton, everything will play splendidly again.

I read this as I'm watching Friday on Kodi 16.1. Guess I'll upgrade one of my devices to see how 17.1 works/runs.

 

[Stew]

Makes sense. Enough of this Non HD shit lol

 

[AP21]

i JUST said that on the last page lol

 

[wilberdmillz]

My bad @AP21 lol, I sped read your post and missed that part. Crazy thing is I haven't had any problems watching HD stuff on 16.1 yet. I guess the issues are coming sooner or later which is why I'll go ahead and update the device in my room and leave 16.1 on the device in my living room for now until I'm sure 17.1 is stable and reliable.

Im not claiming to be a legal expert on this topic but as far as I understand, no its not illegal for me to stream but it the site Im watching it on could get shut down for illegally providing streaming.

IDK you tell me... I just dont wanna make the switch and jump from cable then boom kodi ded.

 

[lazypakman]
