I have a firestick

It certainly isn’t a new box, but it’s still functioning okay … I have been thinking of what’s next, suggestions welcome

288

I wish I could easily update it, but the device is locked to the one OS and can’t be updated … that was very common at the time I bought the device … Even though mine is working fine, I am thinking about a new box … All suggestions as what are welcome.

Nvidia shield pro, still works great and when it stops working good, do a factory reset.

As mentioned above, I am BIG FAN of the Nvidia Shield Pro. But they are spendy, but I find mine worth every penny.

There is a fairly large consensus that feels that the Walmart ONN Pro is the cats meow. I’ve got one and just really aren’t that thrilled with it. The ONN box is really geared for the US, so if you are anywhere outside the US there are some challenges to using it. But for $50 it’s a bargain that is hard to beat. There are many threads around here that talk extensivly about the virtues and the ins-n-outs of the box.

I’ve been a big fan of Kodi for years, but time has become scarce on my end, and with Kodi I often had to reinstall everything which always took me quite a bit of time. Then I tried Wako with Kodi and it’s great, and now they’ve released the Android TV version and I’ve completely removed Kodi. I know Stremio exists but it’s not as complete for my usage. I spend quite a bit of time looking at what actors have done in other movies, series, similar films… I find quite a few hidden gems. You should try: Wako + Torrentio best setup.

Wako? Never heard of it. What is it???

293

I do like the Extras feature on Kodi for looking up information on the cast to see what else they have appeared in also.
Not tried Wako and looks like another
Tv Movie tracker like Syncler, Stremio,
and Weyd.
How does it compare to those?

294

You should give a try then. It’s available for iOS and Android (mobile+tv) - https://wako.app
Install it on your phone, configure it (install torrential for example) then install it on your tv too and restore backup to get the same settings as your phone

I have tried them all and for my usage wako is the best because of the trakt integration with their lists, being able to browse actors movies/tv shows…

Does it support all the Debrid services and what internal player does it use?

297

Yes, via Torrentio all debrid services are supported and there are also many other add-ons, such as add-ons to download subtitles automatically. You can also browse your files stored on your debrid account.
For advanced use but more complex to configure, I recommend the very popular Helios add-on (https://www.reddit.com/r/Addons4Wako/), with it you can perform text searches. I only use it if I need to search for something that other add-ons don’t find, so it’s not necessarily required to install.
Regarding the integrated player, it works very well even on my iPhone. Often I start something on my iPhone and then continue on my TV.
For basic usage that suits 99% of users, there are only 3 steps and it takes just 5 minutes:

  1. Install Wako
  2. Connect to your Trakt/Simkl account
  3. Install one of the popular add-ons (I recommend Torrentio)
