Morning guys

Just copped a Amazon Firestick and have a Ballstreams account. I have it setup with two other Roku but have no clue how to add it through XMBC on the firestick....could anyone give a novice a step by step tutorial? I looked on the ballstream site but still confused?

Appreciate.

Thanks...but how do you take that link (which seems like it's for a computer) and do that specifically for Kodi and add the zip file? Do you have to go to a special section in the video add-on section to do the initial download? New to this, just a bit confused

This it's how I feel at this point. My wife uses xbmc daily now but I gotta figure out something for the kids because this cable has to go. If I can find a way to stream VH1, OWN, NICK, SPROUT, and maybe Disney Channel, it's over

Exact same channels for me...shyt I dont even need vh1 to stream but I need to be able to put on the kids channels and it play programming without requiring any selection for a few hours.

Follow this

There are two ways you can access the ZIP.
1. You can download it to your PC (which you've already done), so the next thing would be to set up a shared folder on your PC with that zip file in that shared folder then you can browse for it from Kodi after you choose install addon from zip, navigate to Windows Network

or

2. Watch and follow the steps to add https://github.com/Swedemon/xbmc-ball-streams/tree/master/downloads as a source. Then proceed to Install addon from zip and navigate to the source you just added. It will be a pain to type that whole address in using the remote tho.

I don't need VH1 and OWN, but I'll never hear the end of it If she can't watch Love and Hiphop and whatever else she watches. I'm gonna figure something out though

I'm gonna have to look into HULU because I didn't know it was on there, but like you said, mine gotta watch it live so she can call her best friend and talk about it and shyt. XBMC doesn't always have the current NY, ATL or whatever so it's like hit or miss, unless I just need to find some other repos or whatever. Ill def let you know if I find a solution.

Hit up a friend with a dish or xfinity acct and use theirs on your htpc straight to your pc breh. Only one you may miss is own but there are websites that stream them live or u can hit up your spot for their show

I'll have to find someone with dish. Last time my bro-in-law used my Comcast account they suspended my service until I called them so I won't try that route. I've looked for streaming sites for OWN and VH1 for months but all the sites I find are very choppy/stutter way too much. I'm gonna look some more tonight
