You're comparing apples and oranges. Kodi (or xbmc if you prefer) is a media player/center. Acestream is basically a p2p video sharing software. They're doing different things and compliment each other. Yes, the standard install package has vlc built in as the player but that's just for common use on normal desktop pcs. If you use Kodi then you will need only the basic part of Acestream and open the local stream it provides in your media player of choice.

I usually watch games using acestream in Kodi ;)

 
I found Acestream has great streams for every game except Chelsea. Ans for Chelsea it doesn't work at all.

 
I use first row sports. I think its just fine, well apart from the adds at the start but once you clear all of them then its decent!

Ad Blocker is brilliant for this. 

On the rare occasions there are advert boxes on the screen they are all blank and their close buttons are easily visible. 

 
A silly question for you. Where do you get ad blocker?

If you're using Google Chrome for your web browser just type "ad blocker" into the Google search bar and it will come up with the link to their browser ad blocker from there and just download it and then it appears as a "Stop" icon in the top right of your browser window to let you know it is active. 

I don't know for other browsers but I assume it would work along the same lines.  

 
Out of interest, what sort of internet speed are you acestreamers getting? I really struggle with SopCast buffering so can't imagine AceStream will be much better for me

Was getting up to 100 mb back home

Now I'm at student halls and supposed to be getting 15mb, I'm sure I'm not even getting 5 mb

Ridiculously poor

Hahaha I'm on 4mb, the absolute maximum in my area  :laugh2:

 
Yep, flash it is. Although Chelsea smashing Spurs is great in any quality.

can't you add exceptions to adblocker, rather than disable it?

Basically go on the home page of the site

Click the ad blocker button

then click "don't run on pages on this domain"

That way ad block won't run on any pages within the home page (permanently until you re enable it again) 

 
One my Sopcast software, there was an advert saying "Life is short, have an affair". I kid you not. Great advice.

 
The ad blocker worked a treat. I only had one ad instead of the usual 5 or 6 and that was just a white box with the close x on it.

 
I tried Acestreams last night, albeit rather briefly, even with my (upto) 75mb connection there was constant buffering. 

The picture quality was indeed better but the links weren't stable... Ended up watching on firstrow and had a good stream.
