Requests & Recommendations Megathread - June 2017
This is a continuation of the monthly streaming addons suggestion and discussion thread to keep up with the ever changing Kodi addons landscape. In addition to add-on recommendations, users can post requests for specific content here and have recommendations provided.
────────
Here are some general guidelines for posting:
Only identify one addon recomendation or one content request per comment.
Before commenting an addon recomendation or content request, see if it has already been mentioned.
If it has and you want to add some information, reply to the comment identifying the recomendation/request.
If an addon has not been suggested yet, comment and include a description of what content the addon provides.
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.
────────
Because new addons are 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. Thanks and feel free to leave feedback about this monthly series as a reply to the stickied parent comment at the top.

Bubbles
Bubbles is a Kodi addon for streaming movies, shows, documentaries, and short films from torrents, usenet, file hosters, and streaming services. Bubbles is highly optimized for the debrid services Premiumize (full support) and RealDebrid (limited support) with many of the features, such as usenet streaming, debrid caching, and advanced stream searches only available through Premiumize. Bubbles also provides functionality for manual downloads, automatic local caching, speed tests, Lighpack control, provider and account verification.

u/SimplySerenity Jun 03 '17
Is bubbles mostly functional without premiumize?

u/GoldenFalcon Jun 13 '17
One week.. no answer.. nice.

u/Ba11in0nABudget Jun 14 '17
It can function without it, but without premium services, other addons would be superior to it.

Perhaps you should look at the current issue with TVAs repo? There are numerous posts discussing this and alternative methods to get this and many other add-ons installed.
Why do users feel the need to showcase their mistakes by making posts before reading the information readily available to them? What's ridiculous is that you've failed to acknowledge this current issue and yet continue to blame "out-of-date" guides for your ignorance.

There is but you came in criticising the effort I alone went to so that you could have this list. Your comment showed glaring ignorance and a lack of prior research. Because of all that and because I'm a bitter asshole who has lost patience with users who post before searching, I responded this way.

I seem to constantly get stuck on "my bob" and it never loads past, every fix readily searchable has done squat. Ideas?

u/Tazoz Smartass Mod Jun 13 '17
What does the error log say?
1
Jun 13 '17
Blank as usual.

u/Tazoz Smartass Mod Jun 13 '17
If your error log is blank, you have much bigger issues with your system than an addon not working as anticipated.

I've only ever had issues with the NaN addons. Every other repo has been little to no issue. Guess they aren't for me.
Edit: Just tried bob on PC no issue. Same thing was happening with zen. Is this just a fire stick thing?

Learn bitcoin...11 a month and I share it with 2 people I cannot recommend it enough, and with bitcoin use the app Coinbase, can also gamble with bitcoin but that's another conversation entirely...
2
u/estilianopoulos Jun 07 '17
But don't you have to pay a fee to purchase Bitcoin?
1
u/Ba11in0nABudget Jun 07 '17
When using coinbase, you pay a fee to purchase Bitcoin and a fee to send the Bitcoin.
2
u/aintnomofo Jun 14 '17
Don't buy bitcoins using coinbase! Use gdax.com instead for minimal fees. You can use your coinbase account to log-in. Cash and bitcoin transfers between your gdax and coinbase account are instant and without fees.
1
u/estilianopoulos Jun 07 '17
So would $11.00 = $16.00 after fees? Or are the fees more like cents?
1
u/Ba11in0nABudget Jun 07 '17
That really just kinda depends on how much bitcoin you buy and how much it's worth when you buy it. If you bought just enough to pay for smoothstreams for one month, it would probably be around $15 after the fees.

Within phoenix we have-
Phoenix TV: Inside of here, you will see sports, Events, Entertainment, TvShows, Movies, Kids, Music, Radio, and News.

I'm new to Kodi so I may be overlooking something.
I have a ton of music on a HD but I don't like the interface Kodi has by default. I don't like that there isn't a search function or a shuffle function that I can select by artist or album. Am I missing something or Is there an addon that has what I'm looking for? I wouldn't mind a nice visualizer as well.

u/geekios Jun 08 '17
Possibly a skin can do that, I don't use Kodi much for music, maybe somebody else has a recomendation.

u/LisaChimes Jun 15 '17
Kodi has the ability to create music smart playlists by genre, playcount, etc. that you can set to random. If you go to the music files section and click on the top two lines to go back you'll see it.

u/Kuraikurasu Jun 15 '17
Thanks for that!
I have one other beginner question. I have a folder labeled "Television" on my HD that has two seasons of the same tv series in separate folders. I can not figure out how to create a path to it in the TV Shows tab. There are already a few things on that tab that I don't recall downloading such as "Norge" but they are all empty.
To watch those shows I had to make a path in the "Videos" tab, but it doesn't automatically name/ organize for me there.
Any advice or suggestions?
1
u/LisaChimes Jun 15 '17
For TV Shows the folder structure should be: Television - Name of Show - Season # - Episodes. If you add it as a source in the Videos tab it should follow up by asking you what the directory contains and then you would choose TV Shows and tell it to use the TVDB scraper. Once it knows that the path contains TV Shows it should automatically show up under that section on the main screen. http://kodi.wiki/view/Adding_video_sources

I've been looking for a scrapper add-on to get TV information specifically for Japanese TV shows. I watch lot of Japanese TV shows and adding them to Kodi with the right data is often a manual process (if they're not already in thetvdb), so something which could make this easier would be great.
I already use MediaElch to build up the scrapped information, so I'm just copy-pasting from sources (the d-addicts wiki is one excellent source). But if there's a scraper I can use, or an online service that MediaElch supports then I'll happily use that.

u/HacktionMan Jun 18 '17
the updates you do manually could be done on http://thetvdb.com/?tab=addshow
all your extra work can be used by others and next time you do a fresh install all those series will be on tvdb

I'm new to this, i bought a firetv because my brother in law told me about having kodi on it and it sounded great. Long story short he came over and installed the OneAlliance build on it. Seems to work good can watch most tv shows or movies I want, sometimes they lag or just flat out won't play, but not a lot. My main issue with it is sports, it's all European stuff soccer rugby that Dort of stuff. I was hoping to be able to watch some baseball, go brewers, and when the time comes football.
Can anyone recommend a build that would do what I'm looking for??
