[QUOTE="praxidice, post: 1216340, member: 161152"] I've been away from home for a while and haven't been in a position to keep up to date with advice provided here or to try implementing suggestions. If perchance the Online Videos plugin will resolve YouTube, Netflix etc issues then thats OK as far as it goes. In my opinion, something more universal than simple YouTube and Netflix addons / plugins is needed in order that one doesn't need to keep installing more addons / plugins whenever a different source is wanted. I'll have a look at the Online Videos plugin when I get a minute and see if it suits my purpose. For what its worth, there is already an Online Videos menu item in MP that is apparently there in the default installation of 1.15 but it is dead / doesn't do anything. Is it merely a placeholder for the addon / plugin, or is there something more that has to be done (other than installing the addon / plugin ?) By 'IPTV'. I don't mean the glorified pay tv con perpetuated by internet service providers but rather the streaming services offered by the likes of [URL="http://www.myeasytv.com/"]MyEasyTV.com[/URL]. Personally I can't understand why anyone subscribes to any pay tv (other than the likes of Netflix et al) as almost all content is available for free someplace, and all Australian pay tv seems to get infected with moronic ads. It may be that the best solution is to back out of MP and use a common or garden variety browser. This is always possible with MP but not with Kodi and the like due to the unavailability of a browser. This doesn't provide for replay or recording but it doesn't rely on additional software.
