How bfccrazy? Do you have a link, does the pad/phone need to be jailbroke?

http://koditips.com/install-kodi-on-iph ... jailbreak/

Link on how to install on ipad/iphone.

Takes 2 minutes *it clean installs kodi so you will have to load on your addons or build after loading*

From the article Anyone accessing content from a pirate site is involving themselves in unlawful behaviour

Not actually true http://www.digital-digest.com/news-6393 ... Court.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The Kodi list isn't necessarily going to reflect what is legal/illegal in the UK, it's their own list for what they don't want to be associated with and has been around for years. http://kodi.wiki/view/Official:Forum_ru ... ed_add-ons" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Sportsmania would be on the list but it's probably just not been noticed yet.

Just a hashed together article with not much understanding of the actual situation.

That's a very wishy washy statement, I suppose by watching it you are involving yourself in unlawful behaviour because the people who provide the stream are doing however you're not committing any offence yourself.

Crap article which serves just to provide kodi users with more addons.

What device?
What broadband speed do you get? (use the speedtest in the 'maintenance' section of Sportsnation)
WiFi or hardwired?

That's spot on Sonic and has to be the starting point for any buffering issue. Sportsnation, as with any other site, will not work well if there are problems at the user end, especially poor wireless speeds where perhaps several devices are being used at the same time in the house eg mobiles, tablets, kids on PS4s etc.
I would add..... was it just this site that you had problems with? Did you try switching streams (there are usually several per match) or did you try switching from HD to SD quality? Did anyone else report problems with SN on their FB page? There is also a FAQ page (dealing with buffering) if you log into the site.

Sorry cant offer much more help other than its not a Sportsmania issue per se.

Only suggestion would be in the maintenance tools to clear cache, delete cookie and then refresh channel list and see if it comes back

He might have the 'hide watched' checked in the settings.

He's not the most techy so I did the clear/refresh with no luck

Thanks for that. I'll check next time I'm around (although if I'm missing something obvious, it seems an odd function to have. Why would you want to remove a channel once watched?)

I think it could just be a bug in the kodi app, happens on occasions to me. Similar to watching a game that goes off then the link goes missing, so I by have to find an alternative stream. But at 17 for 3 months I can't complain. Never missed a game I wanted to watch yet.

Kodi (or xbmc as it started) was designed for watching your own media, add-ons and streaming are fairly recent. That setting let you hide films/TV shows that you'd already watched in your library.
