We have just reached 40.000 subscribers on the Dimitrology Youtube Channel (and still counting!) on our fantastic journey and in order to celebrate with every single Boom Shakalandian out there, I decided to do a giveaway! A simple thank you, for each one of you that honored me by following me all this time!
In order to participate simply visit the link below, it’s on the Gleam.io website so the giveaway will be impartial and fair for everybody.
Once again, from the bottom of my heart thank you and good luck to everyone!
Gearbest.com the Asian direct competitor of Amazon.com get’s 3 years old! In order to celebrate accordingly it offers thousands of products on sale! The sales extend in every single one category, from Home & Garden to Apparel and of course into Electronics and Computers departments as well. In these 3 years the HK based super-store brings the best prices available since they are able to make deals directly with the manufacturers / factories that eliminate the re-sellers. Inside the super-store you will find thousands of genuine products and some of the most known brands in China which is a huge market but now all known to the western world, at least not yet. Of course there are also low quality products as in any store but that’s why I do research before recommending a product, in order to give you the best possible for your spend money.

You may have wondered how is it possible for Netflix to have such an amazing production line-up of original shows. The answer is obvious for some but no-one could have really guessed how many subscribers can Netflix have. In the past year (that is 2016), Netflix has expanded to even more countries getting close to deliver awesomeness on almost every country on the planet! The image below (courtesy of Netflix) shows where exactly Netflix is available. It may be that in some countries some specific shows do not appear due to copyright laws, which was one of the toughest problems Netflix faced, but for more or less a subscriber in New Delhi a can watch the same episode as a subscriber in New York.

If you are into gaming, whether you use an Android TV Box, a smartphone or just a tablet, this gamepad works perfectly for you. Has low latency for super fast performance, it pairs within seconds and comes with a rechargeable 500mah battery! The bluetooth connection guarantees wireless function up to 10 meters and the 14 action buttons full compatibility with all the games.
I also found out that is compatible with the emulator retro-games and strangely enough can fly the parrot drone (!) which is a huge plus! The gamepad turns automatically in sleep power-saving mode after some time of inactivity and that preservers even more the battery!

Great news in the streaming community, the NVIDIA Shield TV will get the new 3.2 firmware update in the next days with new, exciting features! More 4K content with new & old apps for the best 4K streaming device. Netflix will be getting also 4K HDR support (starting with the new Marco Polo TV Show), Youtube an exceptional 4K resolution at 60 FPS and both apps will support in-app voice search! But 4K HDR is also making it’s way into gaming; the first game with HDR on the Shield TV will be Paragon.
In the audio department the Shield TV was also already ahead of every competitor. Now things get even better since the new firmware will introduce the Dolby Atmos Pass-Through (TrueHD+Atmos) that already is being supported on KODI, SPMC, MX Player and soon on Plex as well!
Also, we have an important CEC update that was missing, the CEC TV-off support. When CEC is enabled on the device and your TV supports it, the TV is automatically powered on when you wake your Shield and now also powered off.
Lastly, what came as a big surprise is the new Plex Media Server integration into the NVIDIA Shield TV PRO (that’s the 500GB version). In other words, your Shield TV PRO can be transformed into your next standalone Plex Media Server! The Shield with it’s phenomenal NVIDIA Tegra® X1 can now host the Plex Server so no NAS (Networked Attached Storage) or remote server is needed. Also, HD capable NAS are really expensive (yeah, really!) the Shield TV Plex Server on the other hand will be able to support hardware-accelerated video transcoding (H.264, MPEG2 and HEVC) and with multiple, simultaneous streams! You can even watch a 4K stream or play a game on your Shield while someone else on your network on the same exact time watches a movie from the Plex Server of the Shield on a mobile device, computer or even TV! Crazy, no? No, it’s NVIDIA!
But what if you already have a NAS device? No worries, you can still connect it to your Shield and use the power of the device in order to transcode your streams. You can extend your library even more, simply by connecting a usb external disk drive and the Shield has USB 3.0, remember? Those are features that we saw until today only on PC setup. Pretty amazing…

After going on strike in support of the 3rd party KODI developers also Adrian Sports addon is now back online. Adrian Sports has a very nice sports section with live sports tv channels (UK, USA, World) as well as the BLP (PLP) live matches. Excellent source for your Premier League Football (soccer) dose!
You can find the addon in the Adrian Sports Repository and in order to get it, add the URL http://projectadrianv1.net16.net/repo/ into File Manager. Then install the repository (add as zip) and from the same screen, select the AdrianSports Repository, go into Video Addons and select the AdrianSports addon. As easy as that!
There is no video tutorial on my Youtube Channel for this addon as requested by the developer.

With a no way ambition to compete against any source in the KODI community but just the urge to host some “orphan” add-ons, I created a personal source from which some of the users may benefit.
The url of the Dimitrology Source (it’s not really a repo) is: https://www.dimitrology.com/repo and for the present time you will only find some addons that have no Repo nor Source, in order to be added by some users that find it difficult to download files outside KODI.
Among the add-ons there is also an alpha release of my Youtube Channel Dimitrology, but please be gentle. It’s just a pre-release!
There is no Dimitrology repository for now and even though the add-ons are not available on other repositories, I will try to keep it this way so we will not have double entries and mixed-ups with other sources.
Also whoever needs his addon to be hosted, do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you and I hope it will be of use!
