Install Primewire addon to work in UK.
This is a great addon for many links to Movies and TV shows, however, a number of people have had issues with it working in the Uk and also with certain sections taking a long time to load. Here in this blog we will show you how to install it, then how to set it up to ensure it works in the UK. Finally we will give you a tip that will drastically cut down or eliminate any time waiting for menus to load.
OK, before we get started on the intallation and set up, lets take a quick look at what we get with this addon.

There’s even a section to download this addons own Themes and icons which I havent tried yet.

Select Video Addons, highlight Primewire and bring up the context menu using the button on your remote or hitting “c” on your keyboard and click on Addon Settings
Now, with Website highlighted. move over and ensure Enable Custom Domain is turned ON
Now move down and click on Custom Domain
Delete what is in there already and enter the following EXACTLY http://www.primewires.ag
Click Done to save your changes
That’s it, the Addon should now be fully open to your UK IP address.
One more thing
If you are struggling with it taking ages for menus to load up, this is because each menu holds a large amount of “meta-data”. This is what gives you all the great images on the screen, specific to each Movie or TV show as you scroll through them.
It’s this that takes a while to download on some systems, so the easy thing to do is disable it if you are experiencing problems. Please note not everyone will have this problem.
Select Video Addons, highlight Primewire and bring up the context menu using the button on your remote or hitting “c” on your keyboard and click on Addon Settings
Now with Performance highlighed, move over, scroll down and just turn off the Meta-Data option.
Don’t forget to click OK or your changes will not be saved.
Now it will load in a flash, you just won’t have the background images.
Enjoy
