    Ah, I don't see many HD streams. Most are SD (not sure if that's what you mean) and quite a few specify the resolution. I'm not sure if these options are available in every build. I'm installing a new build right now and when I get it set up, I'll take a pic and show you what I'm talking about.

    I love my chromecast too. And sometimes I have trouble with the FIrestick "stuttering."

    Okay, I think I got it working. I deleted everything and installed Kodi 17.5 and No Worries build. At first, I though it wasn't working but I figured out I was having trouble because the show I was clicking on hasn't aired yet.

    Well, I don't know about chromcast but said above seems to have fixed my issues. I was getting "no stream available" error when lots of streams showed up and when they did work they were laggy. From what I read, a lot of people are having problems and they (people who seem to know more than I do) suspect the updates on Kodi 17.4. I tried the fixes, they didn't work so I just deleted everything and installed the 17.5 w/No Worries build. I tested a few shows and not every link works but most seem okay and the lag issues are gone.

    I have crappy internet - the cheapest AT&T and I rarely experience lag. The only time it even takes more than a minute to load is when my both my kids are gaming. I might have a little issue but nothing crazy.

    Just an FYI - the official Covenant repo is now gone, so expect to find fewer and fewer working links.

    I'm currently having trouble installing anything. I keep getting dependency errors, and I'm not finding any good source for tech support.

    Im thinking most likely need an Amazon Prime acct. Im not 100% on that as I dont have one.

    Do you know anything about upgrading from win7 to 11 or whatever the latest is, I've
    seen lots of tutorials for 10 to 11 etc, not from 7 to 11, I'm still getting along pretty
    well with 7 , hate to lose it and not be able to reinstall if 11 doesn't work.....

    Well as usual I'm a bit confused between os and browsers, I think my
    os win7 is probably still fine, I'm just finding that support for my
    explorer 8 browser is being phased out, I Need to upgrade it , I have
    chrome , and firefox but hate them and firefox is useless on
    my laptop would like to stick with explorer but upgrade and be able
    to revert to 8 if the newest doesn't work.

    Lets put it this way. If Windows 10 were a hot chick, I wouldnt $#@! her with your dick on a 10 foot stick wearing 10 rubbers. Anyone who had sex with Windows 10 would end up catching EVERY STD that is on the planet at the same time instantaneously.

    Windows 10 IS Computer Cooties.

    I've personally had the chromecast, roku, apple tv and firestick. By far, the firestick turned out to be my favorite! I used to have pirate tendencies and with the help of many plug-ins, add-ons and YouTube tutorials like https://www.firestickhow.com/kodi-addons.html , anyone is able to watch practically any movie or tv show without paying for cable.
