    You Tube audio/video sync issues

    Anyone else experiencing these? Basically video is way ahead of audio on many streams. Happening with the latest version (26 June). There's a ticket on the YouTube community forum to which I've added my comment. They claim to have fixed it (on 29 June) but can't see a new version yet.

    End of the road for SPMC

    I notice that Koying the SPMC developer has given up and is no longer maintaining the app. DBMC (droidbox's version of kodi) is of course based on SPMC so I don't know if that means that there will ever be a kodi 17 Jarvis version of DBMC. At any rate Kodi 17 has resolved most of the android...

    Showbox - a warning

    Hi everyone, For those of you who use Showbox be aware that it uses bittorrent (aka peer to peer) technology to stream files, not pure streaming. I know this because of an "educational" letter I received from my ISP following use of the app on new years day. I don't believe Kodi uses the same...

This is affecting many Addons e.g. Exodus, which use this addon for movie and tv show information. Nothing you can do other than find an addon which doesn't use the TMDB.org addon. The advice is to...
