Kodi Issue I think

Question

Hi there. I recently bought a Kingbox and have begun using an android box for the first time. The box seems to work fine for most apps but when i try to watch movies/shows on Kodi it does one of three things. It doesn't load anything, it starts to load but stops and returns to the main screen/stays buffering, or it loads and says streams are too slow for continous playback. Netflix works fine as well as my TV streaming app so i don't think its a wifi issue. I've tried different apps such as exodus and i can't remember the newest one but seem to have the same issue. Is this potentially a box issue or am I doing something wrong? It works a little at times but is kinda frustrating to spend 20 minutes to try and find a feed only to have it bog down completely. Any help would be great as I am completely knew to this.

Install one of the android speed test apps.  Do the same for Kodi.  Run several tests in each app to make sure you are getting consistent results.

Android Netflix app, or Kodi Netflix app?

It sounds like you may have an assortment of different issues.

The box might be a bit under-powered.  But, that's probably not the biggest issue.

Someones good streams are tough to find.  Subscribing to Real-Debrid is the best way to get good reliable streams.

You might have some old add-ons and repos installed.  I recommend going through and uninstalling add-ons and then repos, then install the best and most active add-ons from the newest sources.
