Ahh so you are using a 'build' - thay are banned here and you should ask your piratical friend to remove ind install straight kodi.
He installed this mess, get him to fix it.

I hope she got her problem fixed and she didn't get scared away.
Edit: Well, she hasn't been back, I guess she got scared away from the Kodi Forum. How sad.

I sit beside the fire and think, of all that I have seen; of meadow flowers and butterflies, in summers that have been.
But all the while i sit and think, of times there were before, I listen for returning feet, and voices at the door.

No?
Perhaps she interpreted your response to her request for help as 'Not our problem, go away and fix it yourself'.
That could be why she hasn't been back since. Just reference the response I got to my first post in the Kodi Forum as an example.
Not exactly the way to win the hearts of potential users and spread the word that the use of Kodi to view copyrighted material without owning a copy isn't condoned by the authors of Kodi.
Customer retention is important. It's been my observation that you get more out of life by being nice.
Just sayin'

If I bought something from walmart and a friend then broke it, I wouldn't go back to walmart and ask them to fix it. I'd ask my friend.
Did you join here just to bitch?

I bought my Gbox Q2 directly from matricomm. that came with a base version of kodi. just like any other app on the box that came preinstalled so when the poster says fully loaded. it is clear that a third party imodified the software that came with the box.
Hence why someone asked her how it was installed.
as far as the world best box.. this is from their website
Attention: Amazon purchases are not warranted, there are no guarantees, refunds or service. Please contact either our regional distributors located under "Dealer information" for purchasing.
Ask about our "Trade in Program" Why trade in?
We offer customers who have purchased any streaming device, a trade in credit worth up to $75. We have collected well over 500 boxes from customers who have purchased from ebay, Amazon, QVC, or even companies that rip people off selling generic plastic boxes. The reason why so many customers go with us is because we manufacture a premium built device with the highest technical specs available. We also offer full time customer service, a strong warranty and weekly content updates. In other words, your box will always be operating at its highest capacity. And because of our in house programmers, our customers are the first to get any new content that becomes available. Enjoy!
The World’s Best Box has its own proprietary software that enhances the user experience by allowing automatic upgrades and updates…
Even the manufacturer of the box not only acknowledges their boxes being used for piracy but have a trade in program to get rid of those boxes.
so I don't think its a stretch for someone to make a reference to piracy.
furthermore most of the responses are by users just like yourselves and not people part of the Kodi team for a free open source project that they volunteer to do.
perhaps you should be asking yourself why a company such as worlds best box who also claim to be number 1 in customer service couldn't think to suggest you resintall a fresh kodi build.
You may have not like the tone of the responses but it appears they did provide you with enough information to figure out that was the course of action you needed to take even if they didn't spell it out .

Oh my.
Well..
This has nothing to do with the box or the company who made the box. They're all the same anyways.
This was about asking for help on kodi forums and the responses that came.
It doesn't matter that they aren't the "OFFICIAL VOLUNTEERS" because they VOLUNTEERED to respond to the op and take on the RESPONSIBILITIES of helping them with their problem.
I haven't read the rules on posting or anything but I assume that they require some sort of decency when it comes to posting on these forums. I imagine it would be even more common sense to respond with manners when responding to someone band new who has never been to these forums before, rather than responding with an underlying, passive-aggressive haughtiness after deciding to "help" with the question(s).

Probably not the best example welcoming new users
