streaming to Kodi or amazon stick

[irishbiker]

hi all

I've been messing about with the builtin transcoder. Can the stream be push to a amazon stick or is there a kodi pvr client that works. I've tried the Vu+/Enigma2 client but it takes an age to load the EPG and its a bit flaky.

Hi,
limit EPG to only 1 bouquets with the most popular channel and it is quite fast.

ciao

May i ask why you would want to push kodi to firestick? Firestick can run kodi on its own and it runs excellent.

He's not talking about pushing kodi to the fire stick. He wants to stream channels from E2 to kodi on a fire tv stick. also worth mentioning if both devices are on the same internal network it would be best to just stream the channels directly instead of transcoding them as transcoding looses quality.

As the previous member stated you can only really use one bouquet the the Kodi client. using the excellent open Webif web interface, you have the whole box at your fingertips. You can easily search and view all your channels, yes you can do it in kodi but its not as flexible and as quick (well on my setup).

Simply using the web interface,you click on the stream button it then pushes it to the fireTV which then in-turn streams the content on your TV

I was just see what options I have to view my box in other rooms of the house. I also want to stream when I am away.

As always thoughts / ideas welcomed.

If you want to stream channel outside of your own home network (transocding them), you had better make sure your setup is sewn up tighter than a ducks arse under water (pardon my french). If it's not you can bet your arse some one will find your box on the internet and before long will be hosting your channels on the internet as part of a illegal streaming service, or worse gain access to your home network via the E2 box.

I am not saying this to scare you but these days there are a lot of people looking for open or vulnerable E2 boxes to exploit for their own benefit.

No totally agree, I'm on a dynamic IP and I have been using non standard ports for streaming/web interface and removing the port forwarding links when complete. That does lead me to my next question. On the Box I can add username/password protection to the user interface and streaming - Where can I set the username and password?
