  1. Both (yes.. both..)
  2. No Kodi only, as it's a Kodi addon
  3. You can get it from the Play Store
  4. It's excellent, at least in my opinion. I can play H.265 videos without any problem

You can manually add ccloud channels (or any m3u stream) to the Live Channels app using Cumulus TV .

  1. I am personally interested in doing this. I have learnt that you can install an alternative OS (Lollipop equivalent). Being a traditional Android OS, you can then install standard GooglePhotos app from the play store.
