So ive been running KODI on my HTPC for about a year now but never looked into the IPTV thing. With football (US) season starting i decided to dig into it.
I got my first "trial" with Epicstreams last night and it did pretty good.. great quality for a while.. second half had a bunch of stutters. EPG sucked
So looking through here i dont really see that there is any consensus on provider. I may look at ACE and Rocket streams and Smooth streams.
Epic played HBO HD very well.. im really only looking for English and mostly US but UK/Canada is great too.. primarily for sports but i, like everyone wants the most bang for the buck.
So, provider (would love to find one with a better epg-ACE?) aside. Im using the PVR simple in Kodi because Stalker failed to authenticate.. With such a huge list though of PVR addons .. i have no idea if there is something better.. not sure if stalker is better. Not sure if i can improve the EPG either.
Ive seen other addons mentioned for different things from browsing here.. TVheadend and i saw something else to make it look/perform better (and i cant find it now since ive been reading so much stuff).
I guess what im asking, is there some guide or something that breaks all this down somewhere? i feel like im stumbling around. I get the stream providers all change but it seems like the front ends wouldnt.. like How to optimize KODI for IPTV or something.. as i have no idea what many of these other things are or even where to look for them other then the "whats your IPTV build" posts... which are actually kinda sporadic.
thanks
