Unfortunately, i had to watch it on a live stream. Although i download Kodi but it took so long before that the race was ending. So had to go on with the channel only although it lagged a lot and was quite frustrating.
I want to ask, that i have done installing Kodi on my Mac, now do i need to install some specific plugin or i just need to play?

Well, after you've installed best vpn for kodi, you need to add add-ons, for sports, let's say SportsDevil is the most running add-on, just search it on google how to add XYZ add-on to Kodi and it will guide ya. After the add-on has been added successfully you can stream your favourite sports through it. But you've to check it if, what you're trying to stream is not region-locked, for that I would say use any vpn. But a paid one

Does vyprvpn have dedicated servers to work with kodi or any location would do.

Vypr I believe does not give dedicated IPs on vpn. You have to talk to their support. Once updated, post it here as well

Asked their support this is what they had to say "we do offer VyprVPN Cloud to VyprVPN Premium and Business customers. This service can utilize a Static or Dedicated IP address"

Had a look at the site, seems good.

I guess you are using a free VPN or a VPN that has slow server, try using a different server or a Fast VPN with fast servers best for streaming, without compromising on security. A fast VPN will make u recover from all lags and buffering issue, making your streaming experience better

Source: computer in my home network (internet: 200/20) -> Connection: vpn:pptp -> Destination: a friends home (internet: 30/3)

from my friends home i start up my laptop (running serviio) and connect to vpn. i already have the database scanned and everything in it. when im at my friends place, i can vieuw the list just fine... after a bit it starts streaming but then the problem accrues: after about 6 seconds the movie needs to buffer again and this keeps happening. when i try movies that are stored on my laptop itself, everything works fine. that would eliminate everything between serviio and the media player i guess...so the problem has to be around the vpn and input to serviio?

you may think internet is to slow to stream it... but this is not the problem because my upload is 20Mbit and my movies are lower. also when i stream them in vlc it works just fine. when i look at my internet usage it uses around 5 Mbit and other movies it doesnt go more then 3Mbit... so somehow it uses just a bit less then what the movie exactly is. is there a way to fix this?

i did try another media streamer and that one had the same problem.

i also tried using IP and mounted network folder but it didnt change anything with the performance.

which VPN do you use? i haven't found one good enough for me, yet.

When using Mediabrowser from a remote location (either through a VPN or not) what is the streaming protocol that is used? Is it RTMP or something else? Given that the file being streamed is of a fixed quality there is no need for an adaptive streaming protocol such as HLS or DASH.

Zip just answered in another post that the streaming protocol is HTTP.

Posted: **Thu Oct 19, 2017 3:01 pm**

HLS (over HTTP) is used for transcoded files. MP4 is not streamable format, so on-the-fly transcoding can only be done via HLS.

Posted: **Thu Oct 19, 2017 11:20 pm**

Not sure I fully understand. If I have an mp4 file and have serviio set to stream at High quality then no transcoding takes place and the client (over http) makes GET requests to ask for large chunks of the source file incrementing to pointer of where it wants the data from on each successive GET. What is the name given to that kind of streaming protocol?

If I now set serviio to stream at medium quality and select the same file then the file is transcoded and produces a large number of .ts files. The client requests each one of these ts files in sequence (again over http with GET requests). I thought that this latter approach was referred to as HLS.

Am I missing something?

When I VPN into work, it is almost laughable how slow my connection is. I have 50/5, but you'd think I was on dial-up! I don't know exactly what their upload speed is, but since we're the US Gvmt I expect it is more than I can use. When I open a simple spreadsheet from a work server, it can take 45 seconds or longer to open. And this is a tiny file size. I could probably download it faster and run it local.

So, depending on the quality of the file you are playing (is it HD?), you could easily reach the level to end up buffering. I'm not sure, but the DLNA protocol might be adding network overhead to the stream as well.

exactly what atc said. vpns may slow things down a little for you depending on what you'r using it for. it's usually the opportunity cost involved for the encryption you get.

hey

kodi runs on addons which are obtained through zip files or repositories (also called repos). most addons get you recorded streams but there are addons that can get you live streams as well... take sports devil for instance. not all of them might be okay with dmca or so, so you'll have to be a little vigilant about it, so to speak.

kodi might lag if either your connection is slow or if the streaming server is full or overloaded. you might also face issues if you're using a vpn and you're internet is so slow it can't afford to lose a couple of mbs just so your kodi vpn can encrypt the data for you.

about how to get addons, you can either get them through zip file or through kodi's file manager section where you add source, enter the respective, working URL to get the repo and then use that repo to get the addon.

on how to get a working vpn with kodi, you can just google it and get any kodi vpn and then side-load the app as you run kodi (especially in case of mac, windows and android)

Hulu is a pay streaming site, similar to Netflix, Vudu, or Amazon Streaming Video. It is not something you can add to Serviio. There used to be a Hulu plug-in for Serviio, but they changed their web site and it no longer works. Same with many other plug-ins that used to be able to stream a web site via Serviio that no longer function.

Thank you!

Thet my test.

FIOS at home and work, VPN'd to an RT-N66U, Steam reports <10ms input lag, around 80ms graphical lag. I've been playing all my games like this pretty much flawlessly. Really impressed so far. Also, you don't have to do the exit/reopen steam. Usually after a minute or so it will connect (I'm guessing it checks every 60 seconds or so).
