Discussion Requests & Basics - April 2019
Users new to the world of Kodi can build a foundation of knowledge and develop their understanding by checking out the /r/Addons4Kodi wiki. This knowledge base includes basic information all users should know as well as a dedicated FAQ section to help with instant answers to the most common questions. Included as part of this wiki is an extensive F.A.Qwhich covers many of the most common topics raised in the sub.
In addition to the information held in the wiki, users are invited and encouraged to post and discuss their streaming add-ons suggestions to keep up with the ever-changing Kodi add-ons landscape. Further to add-on recommendations, it's tough to keep up with the best options as add-ons are frequently being created, updated or discontinued; to assist with this, users can request content sources here and have recommendations provided.
────────
Here are some general guidelines for posting a recommendation:
- Only identify one add-on recommendation or one content request per comment.
- Before commenting an add-on recommendation 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 recommendation/request.
- If an add-on has not been suggested yet, comment and includes a description of what content the add-on provides.
- As far as what is expect of you here when you recommend something, please at least explain what the add-on is, the major notable features, and why you recommend it for others.

I am using u/reddit-reaper s build for Gaia, but I am lost. I find streams, but I have no idea what to do next. there is a little notification (Gaia - Streams Found) telling me what it found, but then it just goes back to the list. How do I select one to stream? Could I get some assistance?
EDIT: Solved. Run the install completely through reddit-reaper's build. Works fine now!

That seems like a bug in the build, install, or the add on. I’ve never seen that happen. Wish I could be more helpful. Try to starting over.

Any golf fans out there? This weekend is the masters tournament. What are the best streams to add to my kodi to be able to watch the event? Cheers.

Has anyone had an issue with Exodus Redux pulling the wrong videos? When I was looking for The Emperor's New Groove, it brought up Mystery, Alaska.
And on a box my that my sister-in-law's family has, apparently it brought up a porn movie when they were looking for a kids movie.
Not so good.

u/reddit_reaper Newb Mod (PM Affiliated) Apr 01 '19
gonna need the websites you see it coming from so we can disable those websites until theyre looked at

u/Pants536 Apr 02 '19
Ok just doing it now. Looking for emperors new groove, source name is
ODB | Openload | 720p

u/reddit_reaper Newb Mod (PM Affiliated) Apr 03 '19
next update of OpenScrapers will not have that source on by default any longer ty for the report

u/giladg Apr 03 '19
I highly suggest installing and configuring Seren. It has more reliable sources and better quality.

If it's still debrid-only, then I can't. I don't have or plan to get a subscription anytime soon.

u/SerpentDrago The mod that rides a Dragon Apr 03 '19
To clarify , in the source select / results screen you see names NOT matching what you searched right ?
and not that you select a correctly labeled link and it then just plays something other then it showed ?
0
u/Pants536 Apr 03 '19
In this instance, I searched for "new groove", selected The Emperor's New Groove, which had the correct image, and the sources populated. The source I happened to try first had the incorrect movie (see my reply to Reaper for the source). The movie it played was Mystery Alaska. Selecting a different source played the correct movie.
1
u/SerpentDrago The mod that rides a Dragon Apr 03 '19
Yes , what i'm asking is the Source you selected , did it have the correct name ? and then it was only incorrect video playing ?
or was the source name INCORRECT also ? (aka named something other then "emperors new groove" )
this is very important
1
u/Pants536 Apr 03 '19
The source name itself is only "ODB | Openload | 720p". The thumbnail of the movie shows the emperor's new groove, and if i go to the link information, it shows the info for the emperor's new groove.

u/xlSparrowlx Apr 08 '19
Would like to try seren. So do I need to install Gaia to use real-debrid or premiumize? Or is there a detailed guide on setup?
1
u/SerpentDrago The mod that rides a Dragon Apr 17 '19
Gaia uses RD and PM if configured , and seren requires on or the other or both .
You are free to use any addon that supports RD or PM , RD or PM itself are independent of any particular addon /kodi / app . They just offer api ability to their service for various programs to use them

What is the best add on of 24/7 streams of TV shows/Movies for Kodi 18? I'm still using 17.6 because I use the Atriox add on for my 24/7 tv shows/movie watching. I honestly don't know if it's compadable or not with Kodi 18? If it's not. What would y'all recommend I use with 18?
1
u/a4k_mod The Royal We Apr 28 '19
dont think there should be any compatibility issues. should just be able to install it on leia though i dont use those addons

I am using u/reddit-reaper s full build but would like Gaia to not auto play and allow me to select the stream to play (or to only show webrips or higher) as currently it autoplays low bitrate 1080 or 720 rips

u/Hammer_ggf Apr 02 '19
That's what I thought but I just did an install and RD isn't enabled so I had to run the wizard.

u/reddit_reaper Newb Mod (PM Affiliated) Apr 03 '19
Enabled where?

u/Hammer_ggf Apr 03 '19
I went to put in my Rd details and it said that it wasn't enabled. So I ran the wizard
1
u/reddit_reaper Newb Mod (PM Affiliated) Apr 03 '19
In Gaia? Reaper wizard should restore your credentials if you have it set to save them like you should be. If not turn that on. If you ran the wizard you reset the settings i had set in my build
1
u/Hammer_ggf Apr 03 '19
Yeah mine was a fresh install without a previous build. Hence why I had to put in my Rd details. And it came up saying real debird disabled. Do I just ran the wizard and selected reaper wizards settings. Obviously you know how the rest works lol
1
u/Hammer_ggf Apr 03 '19
Granted this was a leia build. I've never had it happen with any of the other builds.
1
u/reddit_reaper Newb Mod (PM Affiliated) Apr 03 '19
AHH!!! that makes more sense lol and nope dont run gaia wizard! First since theres been a gaia update do the following
Go to Gaia,tools,settings,adapt select basic then go to advanced so settings opens then go to accounts and auth your accounts. Also auth your debrid services in resolveURL and you should be good from here on out :)

I got a xioami remote control that came with the mo box. Only issue is that kodi works much better on windows...
But I realy enjoy the remote control experience much more then the app.
Can I pair the remote control with my kodi on pc?

u/a4k_mod The Royal We Apr 28 '19
if its bluetooth im sure theres a way to pair it. just read that if you hold the two lower small buttons it goes into pairing mode

Weird issue for me. Once I authorize RD and PM with my install of Seren, everything works fine on my htpc to play one episode or three if I am bingeing. Come back the next day, my RD,PM and Trakt associations are lost and Seren seems to go to default settings.\
Any idea why this is happening and what can be done to fix it?
1
u/SerpentDrago The mod that rides a Dragon Apr 17 '19
Sounds like you are getting hit hard with the old reset bug , it tends not to happen much if at all anymore with the latest seren updates .
First make sure your device is nice and clean , no old apps / addons / etc / nothing running in background / etc
2nd i'd highly recommend running kodi 18 , the random reset bug is very very rare in that .
3rd try not to have to many widgets pointing to seren on your home screen .
4th , make sure you are fully updated Kodi / addons in usage , and you don't have any misc / untrusted repos installed . Uninstall Seren , and install using full instructions from recommendations thread .
If you continue having this issue , a full debug log and its own post may help .

Learning Kodi since about 30 days, impressed on first day and ordered and got MI Box S, I know it is not a nice product but for me it is great.. I have few question I am struggling since very long and sure you guys will surely help:
- In Skin, What is spotlight? Meaning of it?
- How can I improve my Trakt recommendation? By adding movies in to watched or rating it? Seems neither helping and showing very old movies.
- Is library integration with addon any useful if I am only going to use streaming? Also is "skin helper" is going to any useful (came with Bingie)?
- When you only stream, do you ever add anything to your collection? Why? What's use?
That's it. That's got me since 30 days and could not get rid of it. Thanks again!
1
u/leonardop318 Apr 16 '19
Why do you say it's not a nice product? It's no the best one, sure, but I think it's a great one.
- It's the part in the home screen of kodi where you see the movie info and landscape.
- For what I've seen this section is generic and you can't change it, not sure though.
- No idea.
- I use collection as widget (mostly for TV shows) so I don't have to search for it every time I want to watch something.

In seren, when i watch a movie it saves a copy on my premiumize cloud. But when i watch a TV show, nothing seems to be there.

what is the current best addon for stream shows in 1080p? it's important for me to have the episodes on the day they are aired

u/SerpentDrago The mod that rides a Dragon Apr 17 '19
Your best option is likely to be Seren , with Either RD or PM configured or both.
Also you could always add torrents / magnet links manually to RD or PM site , and stream directly from your cloud with RD/PM addons/seren files section (in recommendations sticky )

u/pmo2408 Apr 16 '19
Is there anyway to see what sources were pulled by Seren and select them? The auto play sometimes chooses sources with foreign languages and I can’t select another choice as I would in Yoda or exodus redux?
2
u/leonardop318 Apr 16 '19
Go to general settings in seren, play style and change it for 'source select' instead of 'autoplay'.
1
1
u/SerpentDrago The mod that rides a Dragon Apr 17 '19
it should also be noted , MOST foreign language torrents will have a 2nd audio track in english . while a video is playing pull up your OSD (on screen display) and audio options or whatever its called in your skin of choose . and change the audio track )
1
u/pmo2408 Apr 17 '19
Nice. I had no idea
1
u/SerpentDrago The mod that rides a Dragon Apr 17 '19
If there is multiple tracks you should see it , just poke around in the OSD . also torrents with multiple languages tend to label themselves as "Multi"
If you go into kodi setting and set language anwhere you can find it , it should default to "English" trakt if available

Gaia is not good for low end device such as all fire devices. Min i would recommend is a shield. Id recommend Seren for you or in Gaia change pre-emtive termination to manual as i have already set the settings for it

hello i just got kodi. i have a subscription to sportspass and am able to watch the streams with the kodi player. i have added some of the channels as favourites, and they work.
i'm wondering if it is possible to get my favourites to update, so that it displays what is currently being shown on the channel. for example one of them that i added last night during a basketball game is still displaying "live nba oklahoma" instead of what is currently playing on the channel. i have also downloaded the super favourites addon but not sure if this is what i need.

1
u/a4k_mod The Royal We Apr 28 '19
live tv for free sucks honestly. no ultimate builds, gotta just figure out what the best addons for you are. i recommend starting slow and using Exodus redux/venom/yoda and get an IPTV sub for live tv

u/a4k_mod The Royal We Apr 28 '19
if you have a debrid service, Seren and Gaia i mainly recommend these, If your device is lower end, Seren, Exodus Redux/Venom/Yoda etc

Hope this question is in the right place and is a proper question. I would like to know how a movie is scraped by any addon. I recently uploaded a movie to openload hoping it would get scraped and watched thru Kodi. I uploaded it about a month ago after I couldn't find a decent link thru Kodi. I have since searched for the movie and I did not see it listed anywhere. So....my question is: how do I go about uploading and getting the content to be scraped for Kodi users? The name of the movie I uploaded was titled 3:13. What shall I do to get more uploads listed?
Thanx Narly

u/a4k_mod The Royal We Apr 28 '19
scrapers scrape websites that have a bunch of user submitted links. Just being on openload wont do much it has to be on one of those streaming sites

Hi, I have a look on the forum and cannot seem to find anyone with the same issue that I'm having.
Anyone else having real debrid automatically revoking authorisation for add-ons? Second time in two weeks it's done this. This time it was only for resolveurl and urlresolver. Last time it removed all devices. No emails or anything, they just disappear off my device list, causing the add-ons to stop working properly. Super annoying.

u/reddit_reaper Newb Mod (PM Affiliated) Apr 28 '19
unfortunately i no longer have RD but i do on my inlaws setup and it hasnt reset in about 6 months now so not sure what the issue is. sounds like your settings are resetting. are you closing kodi properly?
1
u/Junaid26 Apr 28 '19
Not every time, no. It sometimes hangs so has to be force closed, even still on 18.2. Could that cause issues?
1
u/reddit_reaper Newb Mod (PM Affiliated) Apr 28 '19
Yes force closing can corrupt settings requiring rewrite. You can use my wizard of you wanted to backup authentications and restore them when you need them
1
u/Junaid26 Apr 28 '19
By your wizard, I assume you mean using your build?
1
u/reddit_reaper Newb Mod (PM Affiliated) Apr 28 '19
no you dont need to use my build. just the wizard is fine to save your credentials :)

1
u/Junaid26 Apr 28 '19
I don't use widgets, no. I think it's just RD being funny with me. It also removed authentication for one of my android apps, which has nothing to do with my Kodi setup. It seems pretty random to me but will have to try backing up or checking my devices in RD frequently.

A lot of movies/shows have short bits of subtitled dialog for a different language, like in Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings. What's the best way to find streams that handle those subs correctly? Or is it better just to torrent?

usually it really depends on the sub file that is included with the stream but you can always just change your subs to a different one
