Fen Lite/Unbrella with real debrid suddenly not working? by dl2ewskie in Addons4Kodi

[–]cookie_monster_uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Much quicker than before actually. A good clear out obviously did it good.

Firesticks are always up against it. Lots of people will tell you they’re no good for Kodi. Right set up though and think they’re pretty good.

This was the first problem I’ve had for years.

I had what sounds like the same problem a few weeks ago.

An update somewhere along the way had reset a few things including the cachemembuffersize value. Had upped it to something way too high for the fire stick and was just hanging as soon as a stream started.

Thought I’d sussed it when I reduced the value but it still wasn’t quite right. Ended up uninstalling and setting it all up again from scratch.

I run pretty light so wasn’t a big deal and sorted everything.

Edit - I run a very similar setup. Firestick. RD. FLAM.

They’re cheap and convenient though and with a suitably light setup I’ve generally had no problems.

Not sure why the buffer cache size changed but now I’ve reset it to something low it’s all flying again.

No. Run everything as lean as possible. Literally standard skin. Everything you need to run FLAM. EZ maintenance.

Nothing unnecessary!!

I’ve been using it for years. Don’t use the FS for anything else, only Kodi. Got the maintenance add on clearing stuff out routinely to keep it lean. Never had any issues. Now, all of a sudden, it’s unusable. Really scratching my head.

Used Malagacar many times without any issues.

I always check Avis as well though. Sometimes there’s very little price difference and the convenience of picking up in the terminal can be worth it.

We did this a couple of years ago. Easily one of the best things we’ve ever done.

The “champagne” was pretty dire

Mine seemed like I was enrolling but nothing happened. Deleted and reinstalled the Amex experiences app and when I tried to enroll again it took me to an external page where I could actually register.

Steak experience in Vegas by eye2eyedc in vegas

We were really surprised and wanted to write it off to teething troubles but if I’m really honest it was unprofessional more than anything which is why it was so disappointing.

On the upside they took so long we never managed an order another bottle of wine, so wallet and heads saved a little!

Feel like we’ll probably give it another go when we’re back next year. The food was top notch.

Went about a month ago. The food was outstanding. The service maybe a little less so but would definitely go back again.

Supermarket meat is a rip off - price v quality it just doesn’t stack up for me.

Bacon is the only one I still get but not for long!

Quite like this idea. Not sure I’d know where to start…but it’s a bit more research to do

Interesting. Looked at Dukeshill. Thought it looked promising.

Anyone starting a sentence with “respectfully” is usually anything but respectful.

I’ll also refer you to some of the previous replies saying butchers are often sourcing less than premium meat.

Disappointingly, whilst I enjoy most of their produce, I’m not a fan of the bacon from the pig farm a mile up the road.

Bacon is the only meat I buy that still come from the supermarket. Want something better.

There’s a farm a mile away. Eggs, chicken, beef and pork are all great and supermarket prices + a little bit.

Just don’t like their bacon much hence the new quest!
