In my latest upload we look at some of the new features of Kodi 18 and how they compare to the tried & tested Kodi 17.6. The ones demonstrated include:
UI Changes when installing addons
On Kodi 17.6, to install a new addons required you to go to System first (to add in the repo) then go back to the homescreen to install from zip file and the addon). In Kodi 18, the system screen now has a section for both File manager & Addons.
Gaming - Kodi 18 brings gaming to the forefront. You get access to a large library of emulators with associated control support. No need to install manual repos / emulators.
Dependency changes - On Kodi 17.6, you could try and install an Add-on but if it failed, it was not easy to see exactly why it failed. Was there a missing dependency? What didn't install etc. In Kodi 18, each addon as a dedicated section for dependencies so you can see exactly what dependencies the add-on needs and what are already installed.
DRM Support - You can now install the official Netflix (or any DRM supported add-on) and watch it directly in Kodi 18 in full HD.
PVR Client updates
Overall speed and UI tweaks.
You can see a video of the new features, including retro gameplay here

I know some time ago the papers were reporting that Kodi is dead i.e you cannot used the program to watch this and that, all proved wrong Kodi is alive and well.

You do not give any reason why you think Kodi is dead it sounds like you read all the rubbish that was printed in the media months ago and believed it.
Yeah, it's dead. Just let it rest in peace. It was good back then but it's dead now. It's over. Stop hanging on. It's dead.
Hello Everyone,
Just a friendly reminder to keep the discussion on topic and if you have nothing valuable to contribute you might as well refrain from posting for the sake of it:highfive:

Sorry, but its far from dead.
Kodi is stronger than ever.
With Kodi 18, we get DRM support (Netflix etc), We get built in emulators, we get slicker interface so we know exactly what dependencies are needed for each add-on.
Anyone who says "Kodi is dead" , needs to wake up.
Highly recommend the Netflix plugin now. Especially if you get CEC problems in Netflix app.

So Ive been looking around I dont see any FAQs in terms of Amazon fire TV add-ons. I seen some videos online where people were using Kodi, what exactly is that? Plus XBMC and they were viewing movies that were ?free? to watch and Tv shows as well? How are they doing that? Plus I seen an Amazon Fire TV on ebay for 225$ that offered free movies, shows etc. Thats over $100 retail price for something Im sure they just downloaded into the Fire TVs... Just looking to get some knowledge on these, thats all.
thanks.

Try using search as there have been a few threads that will answer your question. Not FAQs, but there are posts.
Yes, you can use xbmc & addons to watch free tv & movies. As for the person selling the AFTV for $225, probably not a bad deal as soon you won't find any rootable AFTV's unless someone figures out how to root the current versions. You can still find the older versions of AFTV (and by versions, i mean firmware versions) around for $100 or less.
Thanks. Can you tell me what the firmware is?

No, because you are senior member here, and to me that means you actually can look the info up yourself. I don't mind helping people out, but you I think are just being lazy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793823 6th item will tell you how to install from other sources. Doesn't matter which firemware you have, if you have the one that lets you turn that option from the developers menu, cool. if not, do what it says in the link.
And all this **** is posted on these forums, I suggest you go looking thru them. Though why we don't have some of them stickied makes me wonder...
Honestly I'm at work and wanted to get something going . it's hard to search on my cell, honest truth. I planned on doing more later

I'm sorry, for whatever reason I have a bad attitude today. I shouldn't be taking it out on others.
I don't think the rootable firmwares have the "install from unknown source" in the developers option. I'm pretty sure that came in the unrootable firmwares, which you'd have to have the custom version installed.
But that link I gave you will show you what you need to do on yours, will need a mouse to use the sqlite app. Takes a few to understand the UI for it, at least took me a few.
And while I tend to use usenet & thepiratebay to download my shows, I found the 990.ro add on for XBMC/Kodi seems to work very well. I watched the latest Supernatural using it.
There is an add on thread for XBMC where other addons are mentioned. I'd look for that.
Thanks brother

And I think that the mods would be quite happy if you would keep conversations like this on PM level. Filesharing and streaming of illegal content is a big no-no here!

Going to point out that no one is talking filesharing here, and as for the 990.ro site being illegal streaming, no way of knowing. They could be doing something illegal, or maybe they got permission to share all the TV/Movies they got. But either way, it's a plug in you can get from the SuperRepo (spr.nu) repository for XBMC/Kodi. And I'm sure they wouldn't do anything to facilitate piracy.
Yeah I was talking about channels on the fire TV that are free or you can pay for. And getting setups like xbmc that are intuitive etc. Thanks
Just got the final update and goodbye message from Mashup on my unit.... It is now officially gone for personal liability reasons as best as I can understand the message. That was my favorite App! I hope someone resurrects something very similar to it... RIP Mashup.... Sure loved that app!
On the other hand Popcorn-Time.... ( the one that's always worked and still does) just released and android apk for the program. Just installed it and although I haven't created a shortcut for it yet...( I have to run in form the applications section...where Llama is located) it is working great and has a beautiful layout for all the movies. You need a keyboard to make selections, but the films load quickly and play very well...)
I don't know if I can post links.....Mods please remove this if I can't, but it can be found here... https://popcorn-time.se/
Therr are still plenty of good alternatives. Be careful with popcorn time as it uses public trackers i believe. Always use it with a VPN or proxy.
bad news indeed
Not happy as only just bought my box and mashup seemed a really good source. Not least for the Thunder Cats episodes that where I there haha....awesome classic cartoon. I hope this doesn't start a trend in goodbyes as at a glance before istream not showing any kinda links either ?

Genesis seems to be a decent alternative....and as far as Popcorn goes.... I agree. The best feature they have though is that when you play a movie it is stored in a temp folder and as soon as you close the program the temp folder is deleted so no traces are left for tracking. I would think that with as many end users as there are, more emphasis would be placed on stopping the source rather than end users. DTV went after end users years ago and were successful in scaring many people into paying up to several thousand dollars, having to subscribe to their top tier of service for 2 years and signing a waiver allowing them to come into your home unannounced at any time to check for unsubscribed devices. Those who actually got a lawyer to answer them went untouched since DTV had bigger fish to fry and were getting multitudes of uninformed people to go along with their scam. End users will be the last to go after as it requires more time and effort as well as money to try to make money from it. They'll try to shut down the source and if it's kept anyplace that the new millennium act has no jurisdiction over they'll be safe. I understand it's in Bulgaria, but could be wrong about that. Zona is another program hosted in Russia that is much like popcorn except that you have the choice of downloading or watching, or both. Sometimes the connections are not the best, but it's an excellent source.
A little sad to see MashUp go, but I honestly stopped using it and something else will fill its spot. I understand that HackerMils is already working on something. I'm a little leery of posting the better alternatives I use as I imagine the internet police probably find their targets from keyword searches.
You can still use it. Someone made a fix for Mashup. Worked perfectly for me. I should also add, there is a link to the download on the youtube page. The errors looks to have been fixed as well. At least I'm not getting the error anymore.
MashUp fix
I got this from h**p://www dot husham dot com however the site is running real slow so I just copied his info to post here. You need to download the patched MashUp zip file and manually add it to XBMC.
once done your MashUp will work, however it will show a error saying it can't url something but that is because the Patch is blocking it from updating and deleting itself.
It still will work as it was before the error just pops up in the bottom corner and then goes away.
the link is to Mega share, enjoy.

good find.. but i think its not going to matter.. someone needs to keep mashup updated or its not going to work well for very long.
Guys it is sad to see mashup go. But they are currently working on a replacement. Follow hackermil on twitter as he and his people are teaming up to bring out an epic addon
Most of the links don't work when i tried.. cant play any of the movies/tv shows etc. So what really is working does anyone know ?
Fingers crossed for an alternative soon.
Hi everyone,
After suffering a failure with portal 2(snif), I decided to try another game.
I successfully launch Counter Strike : Source on the Shield Tablet.
This is a proof of concept so there is a lots of bugs, thank you for your comprehension.
Edit2: First video(uncut), game at 1:18
First screen
Edit : Wrong section xD due to the excitation, Shield instead of Shield Tablet but it's the same think, it works on both x)
More screens from game, work in progress
Logo Counter Strike fixed
Bump. Video added.
First post update.
Congrats, that is very cool!!! great to see some development for the shield.
Hello! It seems that you, I, and @legofan623 are the only ones interested in this type of thing. If you want, I can give you a few pointers to help you overcome many issues.
Now, I don't know the specifics of CS:S, but I know Portal 2 will not run on an outdated engine (meaning that only NVIDIA would be able to make it work).
To get rid of those "ERROR" textures, you need to go through the games files and un-capitalize the name of every file you see. On larger games, this would require using a bulk-renaming tool. If you want me to help you out with this at all, just let me know.
I just watched from the video and I'm sorry to say that I don't think this is going to work. It is unlikely that multiplayer or weapons would be possible using an older client.

CSS is a mod of Half Life 2 so the game engine is really near.
For Portal 2, i did not do too many illusions x).
No worry about the error textures, that's my fault and i really know how fix that(by the way already fixed the first day). No need a bulk renaming tool i find a other way for launch larger games.
Don't be sorry, the only missing is the overlay which is start the game, i need rewrite some lib.
Will this ever be finished? Just asking.
Progress?
Hey matyas69 I'm a developer and am very interested in this project. I was wondering how you went about doing it. Also what is the progress on it. And do you need any help. Me and a friend have been interested in porting some source games to shield for a while and would be more than happy to help you out on this project. I really want to see this happen

Well I think I have rooted my Mojo, so far so good. I have setup Nova Launcher as well. My phone and Mojo look almost alike
I of course have external Monitor 1920x1080 and I was expecting better imaging on the screen. I moved from a chromebook to the Mojo and thought the screen would be better - everything is so large. All my USB accessories (webcam, mic, headphones, usb hub, usb flash and speakers) fail to work. Replaced the mike and headphones to a 3.5 plug unit so I can hear sounds now.
I have tried to add multitasking to the Mojo, so I could do at least two things at once But I have not been successful yet
I am a Kixeye Battle Pirate Junkie - I have found that Puffin is the best I have for now to use with Battle Pirates (flash based). But have at least three problems with Puffin: (1.) Arrows keys will not work most of the time. (2.) Must Maximize screen to move around and Minimize to type text. Either Apple or Google screws us on the flash based games. (3.) Game does not fix on screen - on see a third of it without scrolling up and down.
So I come to you all to ask for suggestions, ideas, and comments. Example how to you have apps designed for the Mojo in mind. Some reason people hear "android" and all they think about is a tiny little screen that you touch to move stuff around with your finger...
I really need some Mojo friends to chat with :fingers-crossed:
Thanks Andy

M is not released yet , but officially announced. RemixOS is a version of android modified for desktop experience which includes a sort of desktop window feature it will not change the sound at all. What's wrong with the Mojo's sound? I haven't ran stock so I can't comment on it.

You can checkout remixos here https://youtu.be/NicS4VTm7Bk they are closed source so this will be a port from the nexus 10. If you factory reset you do not loose rooting. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by second screen.

I would flash the latest version. By googling supersu zip you will find a thread by chainfire with the download. If you install my TWRP you will be able to flash it from recovery. Honestly I can't say as I have not ran remixos yet which is why I'm trying to port it to see what's it all about. Currently I'm running on 5.1.1 CyanogenMod and it's way better than stock 4.2.2.

OK, Good Morning. Please keep in mind I am pretty new at this Mojo/XDA/supersu/rooting thing so pls bare with me. It sounds like this 5.1.1 is the cat's meow, so I will look into it If ya think Marshmallow will be a while before available on Mojo. The remixOS looks like it requires a touch screen in the videos maybe they have a work around for non touch screens.
How is Memphis these days I was stationed there back in 1975 and again in 1979 at Millington. I always loved getting out and about - the people and landscape was beautiful. "UD"... When I got the Second Screen app running this time it was flawless. I could not expect any better. Well I better go check out this CyanogenMod thing. Please have a nice day. ~ TW (Two Wolf)
The mojo unfortunately came out with android jellybean which is 2+ years old now and very limited compared to kitkat/lollypop.
The hardware is still great by todays standards.. it runs lollypop (CM12) with no problems.
Sadly madcatz never showed much love regarding the mojo.. they're probably now clearing old stock and putting it behind them as a mistake
So, there's never been much of a community here.. android 'microconsoles' were very niche and the mojo wasn't the cheapest (like ouya $99 junk)
@Unjustified Dev is the young man who gave us CM12 and androidTV for the mojo... a huge undertaking and he did it without even having the mojo.. very impressive
IS M.O.J.O. a Mistake, I hope not.

GWALDO,
Greeting from Missouri. I am enjoying my MOJO. I am very Interested in the CM12 Mod and the Android TV app as well. If @Unjustified Dev can or will help me apply them to my MOJO I would be very Glad to move to them. He has also mentioned REMIXOS which sound very exciting as well, and looking forward to appling it to my MOJO.
When I am not in Battle Pirates (Kixeye.com) I and constantly exploring the Android/MOJO world trying to learn all I can. I dearly miss the Chrome Browser with flash. It is required for Battle Pirates Currently I am using Puffin browser, there are so many problems. I do not know if it is the lack of a "true flash" browser, Abode, Android, MOJO or Kixeye problems. But I have not given up on Battle Pirates.
On that note this is another arena called "OCEANS AT WAR" it runs on UNITY and I have not been able to run that as of yet.
I have watched your videos on Youtube and enjoyed them, I feel sad that our MOJO community is so small and silent, I am always search for people to talk to about the MOJO and the Android experience. I have the chromebook and been down the path. I wanted to move to a "box" system, either Android or Chrome... I went with Android since my phone was an Android as well.
I still have not figured how to connect usb speaker or to port the sound to the HMDI speaker in the monitor. I am still researching...
So I look forward to your reply and from @Unjustified Dev as well, Take care ~Two_Wolf aka Andy :good:

You should be able to download the latest Chrome browser just fine if you're still running the stock rom. Also you shouldnt need to do anything to get an audio from the HDMI cord, it should just work. Are you sure you have the volume turned up on your monitors speakers?
ATM it is working - I found out you MUST not have any kind of audio jack plugged in to the MOJO. ie an extension that splits the one jack into a spk and mic jack.

GWALDO,
Greeting from Missouri. I am enjoying my MOJO. I am very Interested in the CM12 Mod and the Android TV app as well. If @Unjustified Dev can or will help me apply them to my MOJO I would be very Glad to move to them. He has also mentioned REMIXOS which sound very exciting as well, and looking forward to appling it to my MOJO.
When I am not in Battle Pirates (Kixeye.com) I and constantly exploring the Android/MOJO world trying to learn all I can. I dearly miss the Chrome Browser with flash. It is required for Battle Pirates Currently I am using Puffin browser, there are so many problems. I do not know if it is the lack of a "true flash" browser, Abode, Android, MOJO or Kixeye problems. But I have not given up on Battle Pirates.
On that note this is another arena called "OCEANS AT WAR" it runs on UNITY and I have not been able to run that as of yet.
I have watched your videos on Youtube and enjoyed them, I feel sad that our MOJO community is so small and silent, I am always search for people to talk to about the MOJO and the Android experience. I have the chromebook and been down the path. I wanted to move to a "box" system, either Android or Chrome... I went with Android since my phone was an Android as well.

Hi,
Yeah, mojo users are similar to ouya user now I guess.. disappointed that their device is static (not going to change, well not officially anyway).
So you won't hear from the masses.. maybe when they have a problem with something
re speakers, I think HDMI splitters could work to split the sound to speakers?
Not sure tho.
re browser flash, this is what's recommend in their help:
http://madcatz.kayako.com/Knowledge...nded-method-for-viewing-flash-content-on-mojo
I don't know if it will work tho.
Regarding CM, it's not that hard if you have done it before.. like everything
I would suggest if you have an old android device to try changing the firmware on it before trying to do it on the mojo.. it's mostly the same process.. get the device in recovery mode and flash a new rom, reboot and it's done.
The mojo also needs a male to male usb to flash, or you can try rooting the mojo then using an app to install the new rom, some say it works, I haven't tried it.. anyway I did explain that in one of the videos lol
Yeah... been busy lately haven't made any videos.. oh and my website got stolen by my host (bigscoot).
They played a scam on me.. saying my site went over the bandwidth limit for 6 months and that I owed them hundreds of dollars.. the funny thing was I looked at their own logs and it showed nothing different for the 12months.. I had next to zero traffic anyway
Obviously, i didn't pay it and they didn't let me get my data, I did like my site :'( oh well

The cool android 'microconsole' (I think they're just called androidTV now) is shieldTV.. you could talk to those guys.. mojo and shieldtv have a few things in common, nvidia processors, android for tv devices with controllers etc..
mojo is shield tv's older brother
And ouya is an older (and cheap) sister to mojo and shield TV
Porting Remix OS ??
Unjustified Dev said:
Unfortunately it's not possible yet. Wait until android M is released which includes multitasking capabilities. If I find time I'll try to port RemixOS.

Just wondered if ya have had any time to porting that REMIX OS.... I am running CM 12.1 but I have no Netflix
Due to the recent price drop for the MCM there has been some renewed interest on fb in the MCM. It took many hours to collect the files and figure out how to get it going right so to save others some time I put an instruction PDF together along with all the files you need.
It's located in a public google drive folder located at:

Thnx Phoenix, yes i bought one today (wednesday delivery) and was surfing around clipping and downloading stuff. about the MOJO. This looks easy enough to use. Thank you for your work already done !
Still in doubt if i want android TV installed or CM as i bought also a android TV remote with it (not even sure if these work but i costs only $4). Love the shields laucher/desktop.
Got one also start play with it now .....look cool and fast.
thanks a lot OP. very helpful.
Excellent work and thanks, @Phoenix4848! Don't forget that there are alternative methods of flashing, and also other ROMs out there. I recommend setting up Fastboot just as a safety net; it can save your bacon if something goes wrong with Flashify. This XDA section is a gold mine of info on the MOJO, but you don't need that link, do you?

Thank you for the feedback. Yes I want to install Remix OS on a different mojo; I won't attempt that until I have Fastboot up.
I created the folder/link for a kodi box support group on fb. The procedure is simple enough for the average user and it's important mojo owners get rooted and SuperSU installed - there is a piece of ransomware that is targeting Android 4 devices. CM 12.1 is stable and user friendly - and it's android 5.1 which will run the newer versions of Kodi.
Adding it here was an afterthought.

Good thought, even if it was after. You don't need fastboot to install RemixOS, or any other one, but if your MOJO is soft-bricked and you can't get into TWRP recovery you can fastboot boot the recovery and flash from that. You can also fastboot flash the recovery. And BTW you do not necessarily need MoDaCo's fastboot, if you're set up for other Droids like I was you can use your existing fastboot setup. I find it easiest to do from Linux.
Yes, I like the Lollipop ROMs myself, a huge advance over KitKat (IMHO they shouldn't have bothered to release KK). And Marshmallow is even better, much to my amazement. I wish I had the extra time to learn to port ROMs myself, there'd be a MM ROM out for the MOJO about now!
Fastboot set up?

Not a clue. But here's a couple things to try:
1) Call or e-mail Amazon tech support
2) Try a different ROM on the MOJO
Remix maybe?

Probably not a problem with the Mad Catz device probably a problem with the OS. Stock is Android 4.2, CM doesn't seem to work with every player. Remix works with more players but I don't know if it will work with Prime. I'll try later.

It really is isn't it? Once you get over the hurdle of flashing a decent ROM, you're set. Fantastic little gadget. I was very lucky to get it for £60 here in the UK. I don't think I've ever had emulation play so well on anything before.
thank you ...for reply and advice now I will try to flash the new ROM I have to read more instruction.... again thanks

OK I have chat with Amazon IT tech he said most game console can't play Amazon video that the end of it and I get $5 for the next purchase. I will install the new ROM next...wish me luck!
PS: I still have doubt some of us have Amazon prime member install the video app to see ..is he right? thanks

I'm a Prime member but it'll be a couple weeks before I get a real chance to fiddle with it, so if nothing more comes up to prevent it, maybe I'll try it on CM12.1 then. Too many irons in the fire now...
Last year, there was a workaround to play Prime videos via the Dolphin Browser with flash activated. However, ever since Amazon Prime Video dropped Flash support, it's no longer working.
Prime was the reason I bought my first MOJO, ended up selling it when the the workaround stopped working. As of now, I use the (second) MOJO for Kodi and the Youtube App only.
It's truly a shame we can't use it for a service we pay for, especially when they claim on their website that all android systems (>4.0) are supported.
I haven't tried any other custom ROMS since the stock meets my needs for now(minus Prime Video). But please do let us know if it works on the custom ROM you try.

I just got Amazon Video working on the Remix ROM. No tricks, it just works.
Additional note Xposed also works on that ROM. And Paragon should offer NTFS support. I like Remix - next step get a HDD working.
