Genesis is great. But I'm afraid that its future is in limbo right now. The developer is no longer working on it, so it isn't getting regular updates. Sources are slowly disappearing from it. The good ones are mostly gone now. The developer says he might start working on it again, but if he did it would rely on realdebrid based sources. Which kinda sucks for US users. Realdebrid is a monthly account based setup, and I don't like it. It's still working at the moment, but it will likely continue to get worse regarding sources.
S.A.L.T.S. (Stream All The Sources) is cool it's a similar TV/Movies streamer from a bunch of different sources. [Reply]

Interesting. I have not noticed a difference recently in my RealDebrid. If a link is dead, nothing it can do about it. I get no buffering when a RD link loads. [Reply]

Sorry, I was still talking about Genesis and its non-realdebrid links when saying it's still working, but will get worse. [Reply]
Also, I think Kodi is going to be coming to a crossroads pretty soon here. There are a lot of developers of add ons that are throwing up their hands and saying "fuck it." While these android boxes are great. They flooded ebay with the cheap Chinese boxes that came with Kodi and genesis that advertised free tv and movies. When the links broke, all these entitled people came flooding in to harass the developers.
Also, from what I have heard, there is definitely politics going on with the Kodi team themselves. It sounds like the Android team is routinely fucked over on enhancements on each release, so they have to release mods that should be standard features.
I have my own media library, so I will be okay if using Kodi if these add ons die. Hell, the lead for the youtube add on quit it. I am now just using a chromecast for that. I expect more stuff like that to happen. [Reply]

I doubt it. There's been talk of XBMC/KODI being on the brink of death for as long as it's been in existence. Back in the day, Megaupload was the sole hoster for over 99% of all available media. When they got shutdown, everyone said it was dead and there was no way other hosters could pick up the slack. When Icefilms changed their API, and then their domain, everyone said it was all dead. When 1Channel got shut down, everyone said it was dead. But we remain. We have adapted and overcome each and every time. And we will continue to do so, because we are passionate, smart, and we are legion. Life goes on.. [Reply]
I use genesis through kodi on a firestick and it's practically worthless. I'm far from a pro at this stuff though.
My issue is with connection. I've only been able to successfully watch a couple movies on it. Other times it fails to load, or just simply freezes every 10-15 seconds to buffer. Im not sure I even remember where the firestick is at this point. think I got frustrated and chucked it [Reply]

SportsDevil currently isn't available via Addon Installer. That's why I included the url for how to download and install it. Check the url in my post above. [Reply]

none of those issues were with kodi itself. these are internal problems coming to the surface. [Reply]
