You created a trakt acc?

Did you integrate it on Exodus?

Exodus .. tools.. account .. Trakt

Should require you to type in a url, input 4 or so letters and numbers, and you're integrated

As for auto play, go to tools,settings playback, and set to auto play

Yep, did all that.

This is how you arrange them by working link, HD first, etc?

Pretty sure that's automatic

Works top to bottom and HD is always listed at the top

Yeah..you can enable auto-play. HD works at the top, and goes down the list into SD. So HD links that work will be played first.

Install kodi on the fire TVs and play video on demand instead of dvr

I can't get any of the 2016 movies to play on Exodus. Is there a reason? Every movie I've clicked on in 2015 or earlier started almost instantly.

ETA: nevermind, as soon as I posted this they started working. Although one was in Japanese and another stream looks like it came from a webcam.

Question for those using Trakt. What email program do you use or think is best for setting up Trakt?

I officially cut the cord over the weekend, and we're returning all of Cox's equipment today. This is a rundown of how the first weekend went in my house.

The transition went smooth for the most part. I installed a fire TV and HD Antenna in both the living room and my mother in laws room with the PS Vue account on both.
Since I've had a Roku 3 for a few years, my wife and I aren't new to streaming so I knew the transition would be smooth for us. My main concern is my MIL who is not tech savvy one bit.
I installed KODI and Exodus on the living room Fire TV and watched Ride Along 2 and went back to 1986 and watched my favorite movie as a kid, Rad. That was pretty awesome. Both movies did buffer some but it was only a few seconds each time so it didn't bother me much. I tried to watch Neighbors 2 and jungle book but one was in Japanese and the other was really dark and unbearable. I'm assuming the quality gets better when they are officially released on DVD?
The only drawback was my wife trying to watch SNL on Saturday night on antenna and it kept pixelating and skipping. Wife wasn't happy about that.
As for my MIL, she was doing great when she was able to watch Nascar live on Vue and she watched Netflix most of the day. It wasn't until later that evening she comes in the living room and says "Ok, can someone come put this contraption on channel 62 for me." So I asked what was 62? It's the frickin Hallmark channel. Pretty sure my mother in law is one of like 7 people who actually watches that channel on purpose.
Had to break the news that there is no hallmark channel yet.

Overall it was a pretty successful transition. Only thing is I need Vue to add local channels and the frickin hallmark channel now.

It's probably more popular than you think.

Do you know if she watches the shows or the original movies? In either case, you can probably buy them individually on Amazon, and as much as I hate to support that model it may be an option.

I'm pretty sure it's the movies. She likes tear jerkers which I think that's all Hallmark plays?

I installed the Hallmark add-on for my wife. They have a pretty good selection of movies on it.

Well, from what I've seen, the HD and SD tags have zero correlation to the actual quality of the stream.
