Nice one. Will have a Google then arse about with the settings to see if I stumble across the right one
I managed to get Drogon working with the firestick Rodders. Was a bit of a ballache, but I kept sending tickets to Drogon support when I hit a brick wall. In fairness they reply usually within a few hours, so give it a try again.
Finally got there after a bit of perseverance.
Wouldn't call myself a techie either, well O Level Computer Science isn't much use these days!
It’s not the destination it’s the journey!
My fire stick journey began on Sunday for the chavs match, got Drogon on it relatively easily but have no EPG (URL is correct as far as I can see) and have fast motion blur which I’m still trying to resolve.
Clummo mentioned Stremio a few pages back and I added that last night. Easy enough to do and a massive amount of content on it. I struggled at the start trying to figure out what add ons are needed to get stuff to play but stumbled over the line in the end. I choose a stream size of 1GB or under and it plays flawlessly (anything over that and I find I get a lot of buffering).
Forked out for Express VPN to keep the feds from the door, anyone know what country I should set myself to be in to keep myself out of porridge this Chrimbo
It’s on all the time but no idea if I’m using it correctly….haven’t had an email form my ISP yet anyway!
Rodders, I had a chat with a lad from our legal department here. He says a vpn is legal in Ireland, no problem at all. The issue is if you use that vpn to conduct illegal activities. Watching copyrighted content without paying the copyright owner is an illegal activity. To qualify him, he also uses a vpn.
The interesting bit is that the law here also says the onus is on the copyright holder to bring malcreants like yourself
to justice, not on the ISP. Given that there must be millions using vpn here he doubts any copyright holder would have the time or finances to go hunting vpn users individually, and the ISP's don't have to.
Worse case scenario, you could get caught up in a massive (and usually random) access search, but such things are not common here yet, they are mostly aimed at the dark web by the GNCCB. Once you are not watching anything on the dark web they'll most likely ignore you, as dodgy web surfing and streaming are not part of their remit.
I've also noticed most legit content providers like Netflix and Amazon have a blocker in place so if you have your vpn running you then cannot watch a movie on say Netflix on your Firestick. You'll get a pop up saying why.
Personally, I just turn my vpn off when using those channels and switch it back on for the footy.
