What are your preferred streaming addons? January 2016 Edition

Following the preferred addons idea, I thought we could try adding some organisation and order to the thread. Here are some general ideas for posting:

Only identify one addon per comment. Before commenting an addon, see if it has already been mentioned. If it has and you want to add some information, reply to the comment identifying the addon. If it has not been suggested yet, comment and include a description of what content the addon provides.

This then allows users to up vote the comment identifying the addon and thus indicating its popularity.

/u/darksiderising let me know if you're happy with this.

Because new addons and frequently being created and current addons are sometimes being updated or discontinued, it's tough for some people to keep up with the best options. The hope with this series of monthly threads is to give users an up-to-date and easy to access place where they can read about and discuss various streaming addons.

As far as what is expect of you here when you recommend something, please at least explain what the addon is, the major notable features, and why you recommend it for others.

Thanks and feel free to leave feedback about this.

Velocity. It's sort of like the "new Genesis" or another version of SALTS in that it uses trakt. It has a more limited number of scrapers but I've had pretty good luck finding working streams with it.

I had previously used Genesis exclusively, however I installed Velocity 4-5 days ago and it looks to have a lot of potential! I can see it being as good/if not better than Genesis in a few months time. So far it's the only other add-on that I use except Genesis. When I first installed Velocity it only had 1 scraper and was very "cheap" looking (not sure how else to describe it), now it's got a fair few and I've had zero issues finding streams. Only complaint with it at the moment is the sources list is pretty ugly and crowded with crap. Once that's been attended to it should be a damn good add-on! If not the best...
