    Thanks for that tongs will check it out, ive got that installed, if i can watch moto gp through this box when the season starts I'll be well chuffed.

    Paulie, i wasnt keen on that last build i installed, coldasice, too much change for my liking, I'll stick with Jarvis for now. Thanks for the info though.

    does your kodi update by itself? on my android box and on pc and on phone it doesnt, it tells me there is a new one out there then i will have to delete my full kodi, and start from scratch, weird how that happens on iproducts, do your addons and repos stay there or is it basically a fresh start? are your iproducts jail broken or side loaded?
    interesting to know

    My mxq box did it automatically, turned it off with it running isengard, next time i switched it on it was jarvis, did the 'running for tirst time' blue bar install and all zip files, repos, add ons were the same as before.

    Upar I think the mx boxes are setup in such a way that it updates auto , i know a few guys who have mx boxes and all have updated with no problems , a mate of mine has a different make of box and if he needs to update has to go the fresh install method ...........

    Thanks very much Paulie - getting the box tomorrow but the shop told me there's no Mobdro in it, only Kodi pre-installed.

    Much appreciated.

    Got my M8s today and am not so happy with it. I'll tell you why in subsequent message.

    I would like to pick an app for My apps and set it as one of the favourites which appear on the Home page.

    How do I go about this please?

    Thanks

    Melody, if you want to put apps icons on your main home page , if you click on the plus icon on home page , it will bring up all your apps , pick the one you want on home page and click on it , should now have green tick , that app will now be on home screen at the bottom , the one you don't want on , just untick ,

    Oh thanks Paulie! It's so easy now!

    I've got Exodus and Phoenix pre-installed on the box but i'm having trouble with the TV Series. I try to open an Episode of whichever Series and they sort of freeze and don't open, and then i have to switch off the box and start again for the umpteenth time - and then i start @#$%^^&!!

    Movies are not much better either!
