Sorry, I just thought I'd share this experience. On another forum I posted a screenshot of 4K content on my Kodi setup. A user replied to me with this;

"What addon is that, that has 4k streams? I have a 4k monitor but didn't know there was a way for Kodi to play 4k content, as I am an avid user of Kodi lol."

An 'Avid user of Kodi' assumed that I was using add ons at all when the only two video add ons I have installed are YouTube and Twitch (Cause Apple Trailers broke. Sad

) I guess such an 'Avid User' doesn't know that Kodi can just play files from the server in the other side of my apartment. Tongue

Yeah it is, frankly, a constant bloody battle.

I blame developing for Android, which brought in a shit load of enthusiastic, but basically ignorant, users.

PS please note I am not expressing a "Team" view.

Computer Users Non Technical ( Tongue

) cannot separate the addons from Kodi. In much the same way as they think WIFI and broadband are the same thing.

The thread in question was actually on a tech/PC Gaming forum. Sad

I had the same thing happen with a co-worker who used Kodi with Addons. They asked which ones I had and I was like 'Youtube and sometimes Twitch?'

I had a similar experience. I asked them if they favoured Plex or MySQL. Big Grin

Their Kodi install broke and they wanted me to return it to default. I refused as the Kodi install they got back wouldn't be to their taste. So I suggested they take it back to where they got it from. Needless to say that person wasn't answering emails, they bought another one. I then pointed out that these free films had cost them nearly £100 in a year and they would have been better off paying for Amazon or Netflix.

Yeah. I get this all the time. "yo, I picked up one of those jail broken firestick with Kodi on it. I fucking love the thing" word for word that was said to me yesterday at an engagement party.

I see what you mean, but honestly, android boxes are the only way I can reliably get kodi, Netflix and amazon prime all on the same device. Cheaply and in a super small form factor, too
