Kodi Users!

My first thoughts are another scam, we are your ISP and have detected...blah blah...

Then without you knowing they extract your personal data and a bill will follow. Or passed onto the next caller who will know a little more about you and then passed on again until the sting.


Maybe lucky for me im with Vodafone for my BB, they rarely answer the phone when you call so unlikely to have the time to call me.

Want Voda BB? Did they promise faster speeds etc? Well not in my case. Its slower and i get corrupt files for the first time since using a BETA version of a 56k modem.

One thing you've done in all your posts on this thread is confirm morons who pirate stuff like you are all as dumb as a box of rocks.

Maybe with the money you're not spending on the media you're thieving you could invest in a basic adult literacy course at night school.

Streaming content isn't theft or illegal.

just checked my M8+ android box after reading this thread and it is running android 5.1.1 and kodi 15.2.
it does everything i want it to do so is there any reason that i should be looking to udgrade either the android system or the kodi system itself?
i don't want to risk messing up what i already have (and am happy with).

many thanks.

If it is a WiFi device and you have a guest network on your router then using that should isolate it from the rest of your equipment (apart from any other guests).

I'm assuming that if it gets hijacked as part of a botnet or turned into a spambot the impact on its performance and the speed of your other devices would make that apparent even if it appeared to be working normally.

Tonygold, all that most of us know is that there is an exploit.

How this exploit can be used to maximum advantage depends on the hacker, hardware and the OS. You can not be certain to the full the extent of the compromise.

Here is the virus timeline so far, will the kodi box be next??? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_computer_viruses_and_worms#1949

For older boxes (5 or newer), I would keep my eyes on SPMC and also check if they fix the subtitle issue http://spmc.semperpax.com/

Also to keep from hunting down the newest box, for the newest version of kodi, perhaps you may want to consider a Raspberry Pi, but this does not do 4k, but extremely few people have the bandwidth to support 4k any way. Raspberry Pi may not be the best on the market, there are other "Pi's", and globally may have lesser or greater support.

The reason why you may want a newer version is Kodi/XBMC/SPMC is that the newer addons are made to run or have features only found on newer kodi,and after a plugin upgrade it may lo longer work on and old box, and if you do not upgrade you may no longer get the channel

Haha...good one. Why are you even posting in this thread ? Loser.

Kodi and android updated and all looking sweet. Hopefully everyone else has theirs sorted by now.

Some can't resist a proclamation that they are holier than thou. Bit like the religious nutters who take to soap boxes.
