Hi, Showbox is giving me problems just in the last couple of days. On my Droidbox I had version 4.27, suddenly it will hardly ever get past the "processing" page, and if it does it tells me that the video is not available try another server, although there isn't another server offered. I uninstalled and downloaded the latest version, but that did not offer streaming only download. I am having the same problem on my Android phone, so for me now Showbox is unavailable.

Is this a problem do you know with the Showbox servers / system?? Any advice well appreciated!!

I think both shah and myself have referred to the showbox twitter feeds which confirm they were having issues so you'll have to wait until its fixed (you could check yourself what the latest is and report back here)

Hi all. Its a pity about Showbox. For those who dont know about Megabox HD I would recomend it. I googled it and was able to download the app with no problems. Even though on movies/shows it goes to a lower quality to play, it will play on the higher quality. Only slight prob is that the search engine rarely works but like Showbox it has genres

I thought they only showed other servers when they were available? Also worth checking add-ons in Kodi as several look in a lot of different locations, rather than just Showbox specific links.

Head on over to the Wizard section of this forum (about 2/3 down the front page) to get a feel for which Wizards people are recommending right now. If you prefer, you can keep a smaller installation of Kodi by only installing specific add-ons that interest you. The Kodi Add-ons section of this forum will have a few suggestions, we can't give any official recommendations as DroidBOX.

Ask me down the pub when I'm out of my work clothes, and I'd personally advise checking out the Exodus and SALTS add-ons for starters. Also look into Trakt.TV once you're comfortable with Kodi in general. Just be sure to set your profile to private if you create an account there.

show box seem to have sorted out the issues. I was only receiving server 1. with no access to any thing .
following a reinstall it now uses various servers which are now working on all shows selected.. happy days...:)

You will need to take a chill out pill, be patient and wait for them to fix the problems. In the meantime, use one of the many kodi movie addons.
