That's Kodi Keymap Editor. It's a Kodi addon that allows you to configure any remote to do any function within Kodi. So you can customize your remote buttons to do whatever action you want. It's pretty straight forward, and very handy for customizing a remote:
I guess it's limited to 480p quality. Not sure if that would work for you.. Have you tried the Silk browser and accessing tv.youtube.com within that browser? I thought that was still working too.. [Reply]

Not necessarily completely dead. But you'll be so limited on working sources that it won't really be usable. These new ones I just linked will be infinitely better. [Reply]

Neptune Rising has been hot garbage for me. Didn’t realize a new version was up. I’ll have to give it a try. I’m using Perks Media with good success right now. [Reply]

Fucking awesome.
Incursion worked well. I couldn't get Neptune Rising to work, though. It wouldn't connect to the Blamo thingy in the repository. No biggie. It's nice to have some more options. I gave up trying when Exodus stopped working several months ago.

Haven't heard of that one. Thanks. I'll check it out. Setting up multiple different Android boxes for some friends and family to deliver during my summer vacation, so I'm having to get caught up. Haven't watched much media lately myself.
It's the nature of the beast, that it changes so quickly. That's why it's free. [Reply]

Recheck your addition of the repo. Usually it's a misspelling of the repo address.
If you're looking for a cheap media solution more reliable than the free sources, I'd really recommend a Furk subscription to go along with Incursion. If you can afford ~$6/mth for a Furk membership, the Incursion plugin provides really great performance at the moment. It incorporates your individual Furk API key, which makes requests faster. No buffering. It's not perfect, but it's really fast and it manages your shows for you. You need Paypal to pay. Basically Netflix for everything via Kodi, plus you get access to any software/music/any digital media on the side via any other device. If you have any questions let me know. I've gotten several others here on to Furk. [Reply]
The quality is not the best at the moment. But I tested it on an old FireTV of mine, and it works. Lots of devs are actively working on this, so if the feud between Amazon and Google isn't resolved soon, the devs will likely have it working regardless. [Reply]

I'm gonna have to look into Incursion, because I just broke down and purchased another year sub to Furk. Fish knows what he's taking about, dudes - Furk is incredible. [Reply]

Thanks for that. I'm hoping they resolve their shit. I literally went out and got the newest Chromecast solely for YouTube TV, but I haaaaate not being able to use my FireTV remote. A phone is not a damn remote. [Reply]

Yeah, Incursion really makes Furk shine. Works so well.. Note that you have to go into the addon settings and enter your Furk credentials, including your individual Furk API key, which can be found here: https://www.furk.net/t/api
But once you do, it will list all your Furk search results first. You can customize it to determine how many Furk results to query and such. And you can incorporate those results into your Kodi library, to keep track of episodes you've watched. You can even include an IMDB or Trakt account if you use that. [Reply]

Right on, appreciate the info bro. Excited to give it a whirl!

Is it better than the WTFurk addon?
Yes, it puts the WTFurk addon to shame. Much better search results. Easier to navigate. Easier to access your saved Furk files. Works flawlessly with the Kodi library. And you get alternative sources to fall back on if by chance it's not on Furk. [Reply]

So I tried Incursion last night - put Furk credentials in as advised. First two streams I tried (two different shows) ended up being a different show entirely from what it was supposed to be. Not a good first impression. The weird thing is they were both from Furk.
I was also not impressed with the load time. WTFurk seems much faster - granted they aren't pulling from all those other sources, perhaps? [Reply]
Just got my first Amazon Fire Stick. Before I even plug it in and set it up does anyone have any suggestions on anything I should do right away? [Reply]
