[How to] Watch JP TV online via IPTV and Kodi

Even if there are not too much channels, I hope this tutorial c be of help for those who look for training the japanese listening/comprehension. I think its very commendable to do it through TV for obvious reasons like the naturality in pronunciation as can not be found in dubbed stuff (movies, series, dramas,...) where it's very clean voice and there is a script.

1) Download and install Kodi (previously XBMC) following instructions below* . Kodi is a media center with a lot of features, and will allow us to install some helpful Add-ons for IPTV.

Download this channels playlists:  Channel Playlists***

 *Just be sure to check IPTV Simple Client at installing time:





2) Once installed, open it. Go to Settings > TV > (Select Sttings Level to Standard if you cant see  anything) > General:  Check Enable and uncheck Synchronise channel ...

An error will appear, notifying that there is no PVR Addons in use or something like that. 
A new window will appear, if not go to **.


3) We go then to  PVR Clients > PVR IPTV Simple Client and Enable it.

 

Then we only need to configure the Add-On.**
Select from where do you want to get the channel list, so we select Local Path and our m3u playlist file.

After this, we have to reestart the program by clossing and openning it. A new tab "TV" will appear in main window. Just click on it to watch the channels stored in your playlist previously loaded.

** This can be done too going to Settings > Addons > My Addons > PVR Clients > PVR Simple Client. 

 *** Only "IPTV_Japan_Spain.m3u" playlist have been configured. Green channels in it usually works. If not try in a few hours.

Other playlist are raw, so the great part of the channels are offline.

Enjoy

Sweet Links [05/2016]

It's Sweet Links! A place where you will find tons of  interesting 
resources for your [日本語／ＣＳ] studies and random stuff.

Here you will find recommendations, another posts, blogs, music, papers, poems(well, maybe no),  websites, software, Tweeter accounts,... and more and more sugar !!
That's what Sweet Links pretends to be.

And let's start with webpages :

● http://prog21.dadgum.com   Good and useful articles.
   　　　(sorry, it's time for nerds now)

 Since I'm studying Computer Science at the university, I know most of you must be doing, in a mandatory way, all stuff in Java (well maybe in C/C++). But programming langs. are not the target this time. The thing now is the OOP paradigm being recently used when teaching programming in so high level institutions blinding the student to essential mechanics behind, and "making their lives easier".
For those who think there's nothing better than classes and polymorphysm:

Avoiding OOP

PART2 http://prog21.dadgum.com/156.html
PART3 http://prog21.dadgum.com/218.html

Maybe OOP is not the best paradigm to start with. I'm not saying it's bad, even great and high level programmers use it. In the links above this is discussed.
