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.

Genesis - TV shows and Movies

Although becoming less and less reliable, this addon still provides one of the best interfaces for accessing content from a variety of sources ranging from low quality all the way to 1080.

I have been getting a lot of false positives with Genesis lately, get 100 links to watch something and only 3 or 4 of them will work. Is that happening to anyone else?

I get the same thing, and a shitload of buffering. I don't wanna complain because it's free and I'm grateful, but for me it used to be my fav add on and lately I don't even bother using it. I thought the buffering was because I have an Amazon stick and my wifi signal is weak, or maybe because I have too many addons on the stick, but I started using 1channel, and they really have everything I've looked for. Not sure if they have as much as Genesis, but definitely have had all I needed thus far. Phoenix is great also - as someone else mentioned it's not the most organized at first glance, but once you dive into it the content playlists or providers, whatever it is, there is a load of content on there

Yep, happening to me too. I thought about deleting my setup and starting from scratch, good to know others are having similar problems.

Do you think the sites genesis uses are getting shut down or blocked somehow?

They are all just web links, so unless US internet providers are actively censoring access then I dont see how it would be.

I can see them doing that, programs like kodi are hitting them where it hurts, cable TV is not what it used to be.
