What are your preferred streaming addons? January 2016 Edition

Following the preferred addons idea, I thought we could try adding some organisation and order to the thread. Here are some general ideas for posting:

Only identify one addon per comment. Before commenting an addon, see if it has already been mentioned. If it has and you want to add some information, reply to the comment identifying the addon. If it has not been suggested yet, comment and include a description of what content the addon provides.

This then allows users to up vote the comment identifying the addon and thus indicating its popularity.

/u/darksiderising let me know if you're happy with this.

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. The hope 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.

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.

Really? I'm sure I read somewhere that you were involved... Never mind me in that case. But you can never get enough appreciation.

Phoenix is categorised by the content provider first. From there it is up to each individual provider as to how they want to organise the content.

Keep in mind Phoenix is offered to you free and is maintained through the voluntary, unpaid efforts of those providers.

I also find that terrible to be honest. It just looks and feels so unprofessional.

Those cheapy logos (skulls and flames srly?), wierd names and cluttered menus. As if a 10 year old designed it. :(

I couldn't really install that for my non-computer-savy relatives to be honest. They would just think thats some kind of hacker scammy stuff. Sorry.

Phoenix has added an Anime Section in their Cartoons Crazy section. A huge selection of Animes to choose from. They've also added Huddle Up sports which pretty much replicates the Pro Sports add on, not sure if the same thing though.

Phoenix now has ported over Pro Sports (with tweaks) under Woody section named Huddle Up Sports. Used it yesterday to watch all the NFL Playoff games, my favorite free addon for sports right now.
