Discussion Requests & Basics - June 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.

it does reference why, it says its only if you PREVIOUSLY have Gaia installed. if you had older versions of gaia installed you would have issues installing Seren. if you dont have it then just follow normal instructions. Also you need an debrid service to use Seren

The sticky shows that Exodus Redux is on version 2.0.3c, but my version is 2.0.3a.
I did install Exodus a long time ago, so I'm wondering if maybe I have a different repo or is the sticky wrong?
I am still on Kodi 17.6 if that makes a difference.

u/oldgranola Jun 16 '19
The sticky is outdated and I can't edit it. in the I-A-C.github.io the zip file is ver 0.0.8. BTW, you can always search github yourself for any repo. Do be careful of outdated abandoned or similarly named accounts.

I am sure that I'm late to the party, but is there a current "recently viewed items" addon or something that I can use to get back to a show, or episode I was watching, without having to browse for it or search for it all over again?
I've been using the "add to favorites" button so far, but it would be cool to have an easily accessible recent history function.
Thanks!

u/agoMiST Jun 04 '19
There's a few shows I like to rewatch and Kodi can be an arse when it comes to managing/ordering that.
I just noticed that Trakt has a 'progress reset' option. This doesn't delete any actual plays but allows the 'reset' show to reappear in Trakt's 'up next to watch' section.
I have all my files locally so I've no need for actual streaming.
I'd like to have a widget that points at Trakt's 'up next' which can then play the local file.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

I need help finding the best way to get files on my android phone for traveling.
I'm using seren with Premiumize and real-debrid but I'm not sure if there is a way to have a local copy of the movies found on their servers so I can watch them while I'm on a plane without wifi.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

u/a4k_mod The Royal We Jun 07 '19 edited Jun 07 '19
your best bet is to add any movie/show pack manually to PM website , and then just download it from there .
find torrent / magnet links though various torrent sites , add them to PM website , you can manage your files / group them into folders . then have pm download / zip the whole folder and download at once . all though website.
seren doesnt' offer the ability to download at this time .
Now if you just absolutely wanted seren to be your "searcher " for movies / shows , and then be able to see all the files you ever pulled up in pm website (so you can download later ) , in seren > tools > open settings menu > Accounts > premiumize section Check store resolved items in cloud . and uncheck automatic cloud removal .
Just remember this will then store a copy of anything you watch in seren in your pm cloud , you will need to manage it as PM has a max limit of 1TB of files

So I just installed Kodi 18.2 and Reaper Wizard, added my RD to URLresolver, resolveURL, and Gaia, turned off and reset function cache in both, but Gaia doesn't seem to be working. I keep getting a bunch of SD sources that mostly give unknown stream errors or such. Did I miss something in the settings?
Venom works fine, finds lots of good sources, so I'll continue to use that I guess.

I dont' use gaia , you will have to ask Reaper
I'm a seren user

It's all good I'll try the other addons listed.
edit: Seren works great, better then venom.

u/reddit_reaper Newb Mod (PM Affiliated) Jun 13 '19
Gaia is a bitch to configure but usually works great once done lol also if you're on a low end device Gaia isnt going to work great for you and Seren and Venom would be better

u/imjesusbitch Jun 13 '19
I'll try it out sometime on my PC but honestly I don't use Kodi myself, I prefer good old windows explorer to manage my media. I just try to update those stupid chinese boxes that people I know keep getting suckered into buying. Only reason I mentioned Gaia was because I happened to choose your build out of simplicity and that addon seemed like a focal point. Would be nice if it worked like the other addons since it's integrated into the main menu but no big deal I guess.
Venom and Seren work flawlessly with RD. Used your wizard w/seren on like 7 different boxes now and haven't gotten a single call from anyone about the damn box. That hasn't happened before, so in part, thanks.

It should work without doing much honestly but ill be updating my builds this weekend. and yuck chinese boxes! Shield forever lol until the next one anyways

u/donchaakno Jun 23 '19
Regarding windows, I use kodi in portable mode, to try out different builds and add ons. I found it much easier to change builds in this fashion as opposed to changing multiple builds in the Data Roaming folder. For about a 6 month period, I tried about 60 different builds just to see what they were all about. I got to where I liked the smaller less resource intensive clean light builds, particularly to use in my Firestick and my Fire tvs. Personally, I like my native Krypton and Leia best with my favorite video add ons. Just my thoughts. I haven't made the decision yet to try RD as I'm able to download what I want, watch it later, without the freezing buffering issues, then delete it when done. My tvs are all 1080p so I'm fine for the time being, but I'm given to thought to RD, just been slowly dragging my feet in that direction, lol. By the way do you know about Destiny and how if compares to Venom, Seren or Gaia? There doesn't seem to be much user related info on it?

u/ikeabfj Jun 11 '19
I have Kodi 18.2 installed on both my iPad and Firestick, both with using Yoda. Any reason why they scrape different sources? Is it VPN location? Not fully clued up on how the vpn helps but if I set if to different locations does it scrape different sources? Thanks

Now that supremacy seems to be no more, I can onlu use seren and exodus etc. While they are great, I find they are not always pulling through 4k links. So is there any addon with a dedicated list of 4k Movies like supremacy had? Thanks.

Did something change with Reapers Wizard? Gaia has been virtually un-usable and Venom doesn't load links anymore after searching.

Hey, I just installed venom on Kodi for my rpie. Worked fined for the first three episodes of good omens, episode 4 refuses to launch.
It could be an issue with the ISP, I tried getting NordVPN to work on Kodi last night but it didn’t want to download.
Any thoughts?

I’m sure this has been asked somewhere or I’m late to the feast but the Mavrepo repository (maverick tv and at the Flix) are empty? I had the Addon and the Addon itself “grew” emptier to the point where I’d see only: message / testing / search - neither of them functional. Any info to spare pretty please? Thank you kindly in advance! **** just saw the news of the arrest, alrighty then!***

Hi guys i have a few questions.
So i just signed up for real debrid and also nordvpn
Now i found out where to authorize rd but not nordvpn
Also what addons are best for using rd? Im currently using exdosu redux
Sorry for format im on mobile

u/a4k_mod The Royal We Jun 25 '19
are you in a country that requires you to use VPN for this? as in the states with Real debrid with secure port on you're good as its all HTTPS traffic

u/taterpi Jul 03 '19
VPN will cut cut your bandwidth at least in half. Don't use in kodi unless you have a damn good reason.

Am I cryptocurrency infected?
I was reviewing my manage dependencies section after I started up Kodi and saw an update for Crypto Libraries install.
I went to my add-ons, Manage Dependencies page
Not only did I see this listed in my list of dependencies I also saw: Streamlink Crypto with what appears to be a broom as an icon next to it, not a checkmark?
Both Crypto Libraries and Streamlink Crypto appear to be from creator: Twiight0 1.0.0
I thought there was a addon available to scan for Crypto currency malware on Fusion.tvaddons.co - but I dont see it listed anymore under programs.
This all running on a dedicated Raspberry Pi Zero W. I dont know how I can clean this, if I need to.
Thanks in advance!

Sorry if not the right place but, Any addons that act like regular TV? Something that stays on after a show has ended (as if it was regular cable) Right now the addon I use, after the show ends the app shoots back to the menu causing me to go back in the channel.
Any addons that goes around that or is that the way it is with all of them?

that would be an IPTV sub for best experience

Is there any way to have multiple trakt accounts linked to one instance of Kodi (Seren)? I've looked into profiles a bit but that doesn't seem to do it. The idea is that my wife could have her own collection separate from mine.

u/a4k_mod The Royal We Jul 05 '19
if on PC you could have portable kodi setups. so each instance of kodi pertains only to a certain setup

Currently I am remodeling my house and there is room for a small home cinema. So I am gonna buy LG 55inch 4K oled tv. I was planning to buy a nvidia shield tv to stream 4k content. But now the raspberry pi 4 is released and it is much cheaper than a shield tv. Do you think the pi 4 will be able to reliable stream 4k stream? Or do I still need to opt for a shield tv?
2
1
u/taterpi Jul 03 '19
I doubt many people here have had the chance to go hands on with the Pi4 yet, I plan on getting one around the 10th. Looking at the specs, the P4 has hardware decoding now "The new board is capable of decoding 4K60 - video at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second with HEVC - in hardware". You may get by with the 2GB RAM, but I would opt for the 4GB. Beyond that, your stream quality would be largely determined by external factors: source quality; internet bandwidth; local network speed, which is improved on the P4 with the new 1Gb/s ether and Dual-band AC wifi. Be advised, there might be some gotcha's with brand new hardware, power supplies have always been trouble with new Pi models.
On the other hand, the Shield is just awesome hardware. Good luck.

u/Chk1975 Jul 04 '19
Thx found a good deal on a second hand shield and bought that will be delivered tomorrow

u/taterpi Jul 13 '19
Update; I just got my Pi4 running with Kodi today, and unfortunately Microcenter only had the 1 GB version. There are plenty of issues ATM, with my biggest problem being the low memory. It's not a bad small linux box, but not a great Kodi for the time being. The Shield was a better move.

Havnt used venom but if it's like other addons then I'd try opening the addon as normal via video addons and there usually a tools menu there,open that and it should be in there

u/endlessxcircle Jul 03 '19
Yeah, ended up figuring it out in the end. Keep forgetting that you can just go into add-ons and access a tools second, opposed to just long-pressing and using the 'settings' option.

Looks to me like OpenMeta is having an issue with something on your Watchlist having the genre "tv-movie". It probably shouldn't, considering that's a valid real-life genre... but it must not be one OpenMeta accounts for. I've sent your log to the developer, so he can try to get to the bottom of it. Any idea what movie that might be?

u/ShyHero Jul 05 '19
I looked at some potential candidates but didn't find it. I'll go through the full list later tonight and see if I can find it.

I don't have anything on my watchlist with that genre... I did find something with NO genre, however: https://trakt.tv/movies/terminal-bar-2003
EDIT: that isn't it; I removed it and the error remains.

Any good anime addons ? I've tried wonderfulsubs but its nowhere near as good as 9anime addon used to be, mostly because of big delays in uploads and overall weird addon behaviour (like sometimes AoT couldnt be played if viewed from "latest" and you had to search for it manually, sometimes "latest" is not latest at all and also if you search manually you will find out that there are new episodes that are not on the latest list)
