Happy to buy hardware if needed. Just trying to avoid large streaming services abhorrent business practices.

      I always used the guides from reddit[.]com/r/addons4kodi, but you can also Google troypoint and they have great guides for getting kodi up and running. After getting kodi up you can choose an addon, I went with Seren for the Netflix like feature of playing the next episode automatically without having to choose the next link. I also chose The Crew for the sports package they have so he could watch UFC fights without having to pay the PPV. It works most the time but can have some stutter depending on the broadcast.

      Get a real-debrid account pay for the 180 day package then when setting up the add-ons you choose link it to the debrid account and you’re set. You also have an option of getting a Trakt account for keeping track of what you have watched, I set this up for myself personally but you don’t need it, my dad doesn’t use it.

      Edit 1 - I have found a community on lemmy that’s still small but someone brought over the Seren instructions if you don’t want to go to reddit. https://lemmy.world/post/209141

      Edit 2 - I was incorrect about above you do need a Trakt account to use the autonext feature of Seren, I have it set up so I didn’t even notice that whoops. It is free and set up is easy and it’s a set and forget feature for me.

          Damn I copied and pasted it but I’m on Jerboa for Android so still learning everything I’ll try to remember to update later when I get on my desktop. Thanks for the update!

        That sounds pretty good. Thank you for the leads. I’ll probably buy one for myself and figure it out first.
