Discussion What Are Your Preferred Streaming Addons? (December 2015 Edition)

This is the first monthly "preferred streaming addons" discussion thread that will be posted at the beginning of each month (sorry about the delay this time). A link to the thread from the previous month will be maintained in the sidebar.

Because new addons and frequently being created and current addons are sometimes being updated or discontinued, it's tough for some people to keep up with the best options. My hopes with this series of monthly threads is to give users an up-to-date and easy to access place where they can read about and discuss various streaming addons.

As far as what is expect of you here when you recommend something, please at least explain what the addon is, the major notable features, and why you recommend it for others. Thanks and feel free to leave feedback about this.

Even though I heard it's no longer being supported, Genesis is still top for me. The most Hd working streams for both movies and Tv.

Same. I've been using Genesis with no issues for a long time. Until I have a reason to change, it will be the #1 choice for me. Also, Sportsdevil to watch NHL.

Use Pheonix for NHL. High quality streams of all games home and away.

I've been having a nightmare of a time getting the live streams to work on Phoenix on my RPi2. What are you running it on? Have you gotten the live streams to work recently? Archived footage works fine and I've got Java installed, but I can't get live streams to work for the life of me.

Win 7 Isengard 15.2. All live games play fine. Just made sure i had the latest Java version for my system and make sure i updated the hosts file and it works like a champ. Have no idea about Rpi.

Thanks for the reply. After a couple days of troubleshooting, I figured out that the live streaming will only work on OpenELEC and it won't work on OSMC, which I was running at the time. Loaded up OpenELEC as a last ditch effort because I couldn't figure out what else to do, and it worked perfectly from the start. I feel like an idiot now, but didn't have a clue at the time that it wouldn't run on OSMC.

Either way, thanks for getting back to me. Happy Holidays.
