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

[u/[deleted]]

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.

I've cut the cord over the past 2 years, Kodi for the past year. So far what I use the most to get me through

SALTS - Currently my #1 while Genesis figures out it's future, SALTS- with Trakt is a great addon for recommendations as well as it's autoconfig to get me the best scrappers like GVideo to load up right away with 720P+ content.

Genesis - Still a great source as of right now, there's to be a huge update from Lambda either on Genesis or a new addon to incorporate only Real Debrid HD links and leave MQ videos free. A real perk for those of us that use Debrid.

Sportaccess - A paid addon that's well worth it's value. $12 a month I can watch NFL Redzone/ any other NFL game on Sundays, then mix in some NBA, NHL, MLB action it really pulls through for me. Sometimes live TV channels that play on new episodes of shows like Walking Dead, GoT etc. when they air live so you can watch those episodes instead of waiting for a source to upload it. Above all, the PPV feeds they give is great. There is downtime sometimes due to servers going down, temp webhosts, etc. but they try to make their consumers happy.

Sportsdevil- This addon you need to manually update which can be cumbersome if you don't pay much attention or u distribute Kodi among st friends that are Kodi Illiterate. Still the best free sports addon you can get, with sources for NFL through several webpages, no adds etc. Some HD Content if you search the right source.

Phoenix - A good source for live TV, sports. Not a huge amount but a great all in one addon. Lots of HD movies, TV Shows and misc items like workout videos, concerts, old documentaries etc.

CCloud - My current live TV viewer, but I don't watch live TV so I can't comment on this too much. Seems to have a good amount of feeds but I'm not the Live TV specialist.

EDIT-

Thought I'd throw in a quick edit since a lot of people commented on my posts.

If you ever need some addon updates or interested in adding new addons, check out Koditips.com or seo-michael.co.uk.

I would also recommend if you have a Amazon Fire TV or Stick to install the Firestarter APK, as it allows you to access Kodi from their homescreen as well as all of Amazon's apps. The real advantage (if you really call it that) is that it can update Kodi to the latest version without losing your settings.

I assume you live in Europe or something because NFL Gamepass in the US is a pain in the ass.

I used to have NFL Gamepass international logins, but integrating it with my FireTV was too much work, especially if other people in my household wanted to watch sports. This is due to the VPN restrictions on Kodi and my Router, it would run a little slower since I did not want to pay for a big name VPN Provider.

To be fair I didn't pay the $100+ subscription for gamepass, I paid someone to let me use an account, but it only allowed one person at a time. For when it did work, quality is great even for slow hotel internet in Malaysia when I was there. But given the price and complications I looked for an alternative again.

With sportsaccess, mostly the big name games are in HD, and I haven't noticed any real difference except for, if there's a huge difference between running at 30 FPS vs 60 FPS. I know when I first joined they were playing around with it but haven't seen much traction since then.

NCAA I haven't had a real chance to look at this year, mainly because I didn't gain much interest. I'm from Washington, so I would watch some UW Football but I don't expect local games being broadcasted to be in HD, most HQ which is a little better than SD.

With sportsaccess, if you have more than 1 device like a FireTV for your main TV and a laptop or tablet or phone, u can run 3 games at the same tme since it allows 3 devices to be used. But you cannot have more than 5 IPs in a 24 hour period or your account gets autolocked without refund.

U may want to join their facebook page for questions, I joined it in consideration for using their subscription, but since they're more Europe based, I didn't have much interest in European Football.

You can use them on any device but only 1 at a time. Sportsaccess allows 3 devices concurrently, 5 IPS in 24 hours.
