Been looking at getting into IPTV for the past few days, I already sub to SmoothStreamsTV which is great for sports and events but I now need something for day to day channels which is also easy for the girlfriend to use.
I'm looking at FabIPTV, NecroIPTV and IPRocket. The main question is do I use Kodi as some of these services have addons (I have Kodi 17) or StbEmu? Which one is better on a Fire TV for IPTV? I have both installed already.
I might do a video review of Perfect Player later
I am a fan of Perfect Player which runs on my Firestick outside of Kodi. I have a lot of stuff on Kodi... I wanted it's own app just for streaming TV. Quick and easy l. I have a full copy of Perfect Player. PM me for it. FabIPTV on it works pretty darn good
As for STB emulator.. it works but I find a bit clunky with its interface... it is emulating stb boxes so they have a constraint
You need stbemu if you use a stalker service. It works well for me on my fire TV box. I like it because I can get 7 days catch up on all the UK channels.
Don't think you can get catch up with the apps that use a m3u list. That's why I use stbemu. Although I do agree perfect player is good and works well
If you want something gf friendly, do it right the first time. Lots of video reviews over in the sticky at /r/iptvgta to see what is the best method of iptv.
Check out the dreamlink t1 video review. You may reconsider the useless firetv after seeing it :)
Kodi and emulation suuuucks. Trust me, it may not be what you want to hear, but just watch the video then go from there :)
Sorry for out of topic question, but how is SmoothStreams add-on working on your Kodi 17 setup? I updated my test windows 10 PC with Kodi 17 and SmoothStreams addon keeps buffering as if my internet connection was slow. Not happening with Kodi 16.1 though.
Glad your considering us! Please let me know if you have any questions about our service. :)
App wise I've always got on fine with Kodi on my fire (gen 1) so use that, but people rave about "perfect player"
