A NEWBIES GUIDE TO MX ANDROID

Hisss you can install the repos and then choose the add-ons in the repos that you want to enable , I have got boxes that come fully loaded for mates of mine , but I uninstall the add-ons and repos I don't want and install the ones that are worth keeping for e.g. some good repos here in the forum
Thanks to piopat and tongs and the rest of the crew that are working great at the moment , you can get the boxes from scratch but then you have to go to the bother of installing stuff that you need as in fusion , xfinity metalkettle and so on. As tongs says in an earlier post only enable the repos and add-ons that you want , keeps the box running smoother

Thanks again Paulie. I have had to install ixfinity myself as I couldn't see it or maybe i dont know where to look. Haven't got fusion or metalkettle yet. Will have a look for those.

Have you a link to the part of the forum which discusses repos and addons?

Also is there a way of finding out what the screen resolution is set and how to get picture to always fit the screen. I'm running on an old television using HDMI to start so quite a different set up to most of the people on here.

 

hiss you do have fusion installed as you stated phoenix was already on the box (this gets added via fusion).
instructions for adding xunity here >>>>>
ans some times my pictures dont always fit the screen you have to go in to video settings while a film is playing and select the one you want

 

I didn't know that Fusion was already installed. I've probably doubled it up because I downloaded it again. How do I find these things? I've looked and can't see it. I downloaded xunity and I can't find that on the box either. I'm totally useless. Been spending hours on it today and getting nowhere. Feel like returning the box and giving it up as a bad job. I can't even download sports devil.

Where do I find the video settings when watching a programme?

 

I'm at work so can't check but it's something like this. If you've already installed it. Click on settings. Add ons. Install from zip file. Click on xunity and it should installed at bottom right hand corner. Then go back to settings. Add ons. Enabled add ons and click again on xunity. should now open a folder. Click on videos. And now it should be done and it should be in videos-and ons

 

Also video settings when watching a film. If you press pause on your remote on the screen at the bottom will be a bar with play. Rewind. Skip etc to the right of the controls you'll have settings for sound and video. Think the video setting looks like a roll of theatre tape. Click on that and go to aspect ratio. Think I put mine on stretch 16.4 or something. Like I say I'm at work so this is all off my head

 

HISSS TO SET YOUR SCREEN AS TONGS SAYS ABOVE IS ONE WAY ANOTHER WAY I DO IT AND FITS ALL FILMS AND SO ON IS ON YOUR HOME SCREEN GO TO SETTINGS, GO TO DISPLAY IF IT'S SET AT 720HZ CHANGE TO 1080P 60 HZ TO DO THIS .
1, TURN HDMI AUTO DETECTION FROM ON TO OFF CLICK OK ON YOUR. REMOTE
2, GO TO HDMI OUTPUTMODE SETTINGS IF YOUR BOX IS SET AT 72O HZ. CLICK ON THAT AND A BOX WILL OPEN UP SCROLL UP AND DOWN UNTIL U FIND 1080P 60HZ. HIGHLIGHT AND CLICK OK . ALSO ON PAGE ONE OF THIS SECTION PIOPAT GIVES AN EXCELLENT TUT ON REPOS AND ADDONS

CLICK TO SAVE CHANGES , CLICK OK AND EXIT IT OUT ,
CHECK A FILM IN KODI AND SHOULD NOW FIT SCREEN SIZE Ok .
IF YOU NEED TO CHECK WHAT YOU HAVE INSTALLED ON YOUR BOX AS TONGS SAYS ABOVE. , GO TO IN TO KODI GO TO SYSTEM,SETTINGS,INSTALL FROM ZIP FILE, ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN YOU SHOULD NOW SEE A LIST OF REPO FOLDERS,, SCROLL UP AND DOWN TO CHECK WHAT YOU HAVE AND HAVE NOT
PS ALSO GOOD TO CLEAR YOUR CACHE REGULARLY FOR YOUR BOX YO RUN WITH LESS HITCHES

HISSS THE PART I PUT inABOUT PIOPATS TUT. I PUT IN THE WRONG PLACE SORRY , TO FIND THE SETTINGS YOU ASK ABOUT ABOVE , IN KODI IF YOU HIGHLIGHT VIDEO DO NOT OPEN IT , YOU SHOULD NOW SEE TAGS UNDER VIDEO , FILE MANAGER WILL BE FIRST AND SETTINS ALONG SIDE IT ...
CHEERS

Thanks for your advice and patients guys, much appreciated.

I will try what you have said. Although wish I could just start over again.

Tried to install sports devil but it didn't save to anywhere. If I download it on a memory stick and insert into the box, will I be able to find the file?

 

all this stuff you are installing should be in, videos>>>addons

 

where are you located mate? if local ill come sort it out, or if you want to post it i can sort it....... if your getting fed up with it

 

HISSS SPORTSDEVIL IS ONE OF A FEW YOU HAVE TO INSTALL BY DOWNLOADING ON TO YOUR BOX OR BY WAY OF USB , IF YOU FIND IT EASIER TO INPUT BY USB , GOOGLE SPORTS DEVIL AND DOWNLOAD THE FILE TO USB , STICK USB IN TO YOUR BOX , OPEN KODI.CLICK ON SYSTEM , CLICK ON ADDONS , CLICK ON INSTALL FROM ZIP FILE , YOU SHOULD NO SEE A LIST OF YOUR REPO FOLDERS LOOK FOR YOUR USB, MINE SHOWS UP AS SDA1 , WHEN YOU LOCATE YOUR USB OPEN IT YOU SHOULD SEE THE FILE SPORTSDEVIL PLUGIN ZIP CLICK ON THE FILE , WAIT FOR ADDON ENABLED ONCE DONE GO BACK TO VIDEO , ADDONS , SHOULD NOW SEE SPORTSDEIL IN THE LIST CLICK ON IT AND SHOULD NOW BE READY TO GO . LET US KNOW HOW IT GOES

 

paulie, just a little whisper in your ear, if a mod reads this thread you will be banned, as caps locks typing is meant to be "aggressive, shouting" so i would knock them off mate

cheers tongs using the cap lock on my computer sight not the best , tongs while your tuned in a mate of mine asked me today , he has kodi on his ipad and also has mini hdmi , would you know is it possable to connect ipad to tv or is there an issue with picture before he goes a head and buys mini hdmi to stardard hdmi connection , thanks in advance

paulie57

 

mate, i have 3 kids and they all have tablets but one thing i stay away from is apple so they all have android tabs, i know kodi runs on apple which im shocked about as apple (in my opinion) is a right fusk on and it seems anything you want to do with apple has to go thru apple, lol thus my answer i am not sure mate

 

cheers tongs ya i see a message on screen now in kodi saying something about apple , something to do about chucking apple out , not a fan of apple myself , for me andriod is the way to go , i have an asus ipad myself and can install what i want as in kodi etc , but i dont have a mini hdmi slot in mine so never bothered checking if it is possable , cheers mate
