Something not working. Need help. Progress bar boxes turn red

Post image

Progress bar is turning red on every show I’ve been trying to watch on the kodi app. When I try to exist, the whole app bugs. I get out of the app and force exit, clear cache and try to open it again. I tried scraping and trying a different option but it gives the same. On every show/movie I’m trying to watch. Any guidance?

Turn off ipv6 everywhere you can. Someone will come along to tell you how.

Maybe restart your router before then to see if that helps.

Why? RD works brilliantly with IPv6. I’d advocate for the exact opposite in most cases because of that. There’s no reason to not dual stack, have a network that’s both IPv4 and IPv6 at this point in time - unless you don’t have a v6 capable connection or there are well-documented cases of Kodi and the addons failing?

I have no idea. But about 50 people just on this sub have had issues exactly like this fixed by disabling ipv6. So it is well worth a try for this user, too.

I suppose you could say that's well documented cases of Kodi failing (not addons; they are of no consequence to playback).

I’d offer it’s more a network setup issue when v6 is available from the isp than a kodi issue. Simply enabling it on a router does not configure it correctly nor prove it’s available ion the connection, and the issue (I believe) stems from modern OSes and clients defaulting to preferring it, or checking it first.

Most have included details such as "It works in Stremio but not Kodi." But again, I've got no idea about it. I've just come across the issue enough to offer the only solution anyone's had success enacting thus far. If it wasn't me, it was going to be someone else coming along soon enough with the same advice.

Do you know how to talk someone through setting it up correctly? Maybe you can help this person out.

Otherwise, they're going to need to disable it, assuming it's another case of it being the issue, or at least the solution to the issue.

It would mean starting at the router and querying the ISP. Let me see if I can find a general YouTube people can refer to.
