The 13 Clowns Kodi addon is a multi-source addon built from the Exodus Redux code base. 13 Clowns uses the new community scraper project, Civitas Scrapers.

13 Clowns Repository & Addon Returns

March 19th: The 13 Clowns Kodi addon has returned online. If you would like to install it, we’ve updated the install guide at the bottom of the gude.

 

Original 13 Clowns Repo Hacked

If you are seeing pop ups from TVAddons’ Indigo addon installed that wasn’t there previously, it’s because the original 13 Clowns repository has been hacked and replaced with TVA content. Click here to learn more info about this 13 Clowns hack, including how to remove the TVAddons malware from your system.

So, why 13 Clowns vs Exodus Redux?

Kodi addons are made up of three separate parts:

  1. The Scraper
  2. The Resolver
  3. The Search Engine

The 13 Clowns or Exodus Redux addons (or any other addon) is the search engine. It’s job is to search and query movie and TV titles. In the case of Exodus and other multi-source addons, it uses Trakt, TMDB, and TVDM databases to present movies and titles in playlists such as “most popular” or “trending movies”.

When you search or query a title, the Kodi addon searches through scrapers, which are websites on the internet that contain links to media files. The scraper used by 13 Clowns is Civitas Scrapers, which has quickly become the most popular set of scrapers for Kodi.

Exodus Redux is still using the old LambdaScrapers project, which has been abandoned and is not receiving updates any longer.

After showing you a list of media files, the one you pick to play is passed off to a resolver. The resolver module is ResolveURL, which is a collection of instructions on how to navigate through file hosts to get out the raw video file.

$
0
0

The Seren Kodi addon is a brand new multi-source offering from the developer of the Incursion addon. We have a full featured Seren addon guide including install instructions, setup guide, troubleshooting, and tips.

Seren has been coded from the ground up and is the most ambitious new addon that has been released in a while!

Nixgates, the developer of Incursion, started on the project after being unhappy with constantly having to edit old code within Incursion (which was a fork of Covenant).

Interested?

Check out the full list of features and notes about the Seren addon below.

OR, use one of these quick links to take you to the section you need:

NOTE: This addon is considered in beta mode right now. There may be bugs, but the Seren developer is very capable and will help users out in the future.

Seren Latest Version

April 11th Update: Seren has been updated to v0.2.5. A lot of development time has gone into the addon and over 100 new additions and bug fixes have been added! Check out the full change log at the very bottom of this guide, but the main changes you should know about are:

  1. There is a new “My Files” option from the main menu that shows all of the media files you have downloaded to your Premiumize and Real Debrid cloud. Quickly continue season packs and see what is being stored by those services.
  2. There are new movie and TV show categories integration for Years and Networks.
  3. There are tons of Trakt bug fixes and improvements. The first time you launch Seren after v0.2.5 is updated, you will be asked to initialize Trakt. Make sure you select “yes”.
  4. The slowest 5 providers are now shown in the scraping dialog window. This is helpful if you would like to disable or turn these off.

Check out the new update to truly see all of the improvements!

April 2nd Update: We’ve updated the link to the Seren scrapers back, so check out the setup section and make sure that this new URL is installed in your system to get the latest scraper updates.

The last version of the Seren Kodi addon is v0.1.34, released on February 19th. This update comes with a huge amount of bug fixes and improvements from the last release.

If in the event your Seren install becomes corrupt, I would suggest making use of the “Wipe Addon Data” feature in the tools menu and re-setup your settings.

 

 

Seren Kodi Addon Features

Seren is built to work on Kodi 17 Krypton and 18 Leia, for maximum compatiblility.

Speed 

Seren is FAST with its menus and scraping. Scraped information is cached to make the addon quicker.

Almost every line of code has been written from scratch

Netflix-like Behavior

The Seren Kodi addon automatically creates playlists of shows that you select by default. It has the ability to resume where you left off with a single click on a show.

As well, Seren prompts you asking if you would like to continue to the next episode.

Seren’s default behavior is to scrape and find the best media source to play. It has pre-emptive scraping and autoplay enabled by default. This means that you will only ever see the scraping windows on the first episode of a show.

Custom provider installer

Seren is built to accept individual provider packs. Users can built a master scraper list and enable and disable at their choice.

Other Features

Seren has automatic caching for Real-Debrid and Premiumize users.

Premiumize users – Seren will automatically download and remove items from your cloud so that they can be played quickly and on demand.

Shuffle Play – Pick one episode, hit shuffle play, and the Seren Kodi addon will randomly play episodes until you are done.

Next Up – Pick a show and Seren will build a list of where you left off and start playing.

Cached torrents. Trakt integration. Show/hide x265. The list of Seren Kodi addon features goes on and on.

Either Real-Debrid or Premiumize are highly suggested for this addon.

Exhausted yet?

Let’s have a look at how to install the Seren Kodi addon! Underneath that, we have a full setup and integration guide to check out and read.

 

Premium Accounts with Seren Kodi Addon

Right now, this addon does not work without either Premiumize or Real Debrid. Seren was built from the ground up to use features offered by these services. These premium servers can also handle the load of Kodi users, unlike free file hosts which get abused frequently.

Also, smart play settings such as Up Next, Auto Playlist Creation, Auto Episode Resume, and Pre-Emptive Scraping do not work without an authorized Trakt account. Trakt is a free service.

How to Install Up Next Kodi Addon

The Up Next Kodi addon provides a Netflix-style popup menu for automatically starting the next episodes playback in Kodi. Since Seren’s integration with Premiumize and Real-Debrid is designed to automatically queue up multiple episodes at a time, Up Next integration is a very handy feature!

To install Up Next, first install Seren using the instructions above. Then, perform these steps:

  1. Navigate to SYSTEM > Add-ons > Install From Repository > Nixgates Repository > Services > Up Next > Install
  2. Wait for the Add-on Enabled Notification

Also In the Up Next Kodi addon settings, you can adjust things like how long the popup stays on your screen for, advanced presentation settings, and more!

Kodi VPN For PPVs – Protecting Your Privacy

Some add-ons in Kodi are geo-blocked or use P2P (Acestream) links which share your connection with other users in order to minimize buffer for everyone. This event is in high demand all over the world and that makes it more important to protect your internet connection.

Because of this, we recommend a VPN. If you are interested, IPVanish and NordVPN can both help you free all of your Kodi add-ons!

Unofficial Third Party UFC 236 Kodi Addons

Kodi addons do not host any content. They simply search the public internet for freely available links on the internet.

Please note that these Kodi addons might not be legal to use in your country. We suggest to our readers to only choose legal, official UFC streaming channels available in their country. We host none of the streams in these addons, so your use is at your own risk.

Some examples of third party Kodi addons include:

Common Kodi Live Streaming Errors

Kodi UFC Live Stream Basic Tips

For Kodi live streaming, there are some basic tips you need to follow in order to have the best possible experience:

  1. Make sure your Kodi box is hardwired into your internet via an ethernet connection. Wi-fi connections add a lot of latency, which can make live streaming impossible.
  2. Use a recently updated addon, rather than one that hasn’t been updated. Live IPTV links are volatile and require effort to upkeep. The longer an addon has gone without an update, the more likely it is that links inside of it are dead.
  3. Use acestream links whenever possible. Popular events have a lot of people trying to use the same live links, which cause heavy buffering. Acestream links shoulder the bandwidth amongst users, making a heavy link actually more effective. Acestream’s will leave your connection exposed to your ISP and other users, so put yourself behind a VPN.

Kodi UFC Web Request Failed

The Web request failed Kodi error sometimes appears when you are trying to access live streams. This error means that Kodi has failed to read the script or video content format of the stream.

Luckily, the solution to this error is very simple. You just have to enable RTMP in Kodi. To fix these errors, follow the steps below:

  • Go to the Add-ons menu.
  • Open My Add-ons> Open VideoPlayer InputStream.
  • Click on RTMP Input> click on Enable.

Kodi UFC Error Check Log

Sometimes you may get a message telling you to check your Kodi error log. If you see this error while streaming video, it can mean that your cache is full. If this appears while trying to navigate menus in a live IPTV Kodi addon, it means that the link you are trying to access does not exist anymore. When this error comes up while trying to start a stream from the addon, select another stream.

UFC 236 Kodi No Stream Available

If you see the error “stream not available” in Kodi while using this addon, it means that the addon was unable to retrieve results for your query. Kodi addons are simply search engines into the public internet and do not host any content of their own.

When you select a title or stream in Kodi, it searches the internet for media streams matching the title you’ve select. If it cannot find anything, you get the “stream not available” error. Most likely, you will have to try a different addon.

Kodi UFC Script Failed

The Kodi script failed error occurs when your addon fails to execute its function in a proper manner. The most likely cause of this error is because you are running an old or outdated version of Kodi. The addon is trying to use a dependency or script newer that what is installed on your machine and is giving you an error.

Always look to upgrade Kodi to its latest version to maximize success with your Kodi addons.

No Kodi UFC Addons Are Working

If the addon is not working and your issue is not covered in our guide above, make sure that you have the latest version of the addon installed. Use the top of our guide to verify the latest version.

Also, make sure that you are running the latest version of Kodi. Version of Kodi 16 and earlier are not compatible with addons anymore due to changes in scrapers and code.

Remember, Kodi addons simply query the public internet and do not host any host any streams. Streams, especially live content, is volatile and can go up and down. There is nothing you or the developer can do about streams not working in a lot of cases.

If you need a new Kodi box to check out UFC 236 Kodi streams with, check out our Kodi store section on the website by clicking here.

$
0
0

Come and grab the latest Filelinked codes for Android TV and Amazon Fire and quickly install the latest APKs onto your device without having to move any files onto a USB stick.

Not sure what Filelinked is?

The guide below explains everything, so check it out because Filelinked could save you a bunch of time setting up some Kodi hardware or adding a new APK.

 

What is Filelinked

Filelinked is a bulk downloader tool available for both the Amazon Fire and Android TV operating systems. Filelinked codes help you install popular apps or APKs very quickly onto your Kodi Box.

Users or developers can upload files into a Filelinked repository and they only have to supply the Filelinked code in order to allow others to access it and download files directly onto their hardware box.

This is a time saver because you usually have to download an APK file and manually move it onto a USB stick to install it on your hardware.

 

Filelinked vs FireDL

The main difference between Filelinked and FireDL is that Filelinked supports the addition of multiple files and programs into a single address. This bulk downloading feature makes it easy to quickly get and install multiple applications in one step.

  4. When you launch the APK, select Install. Filelinked will install and then it will appear in your apps section when it is done.

And that’s it, Filelinked is now installed on your Kodi box.

 

Amazon Fire Tutorial

  1. Allow your Amazon box to install apps from unknown sources. If you have the new Fire Stick interface, this is found through Settings > Device > Developer Options. If you have the old interface, this is found through Settings > System > Developer options.

ResolveURL Kodi Dependency; URLResolver Fork Information

$
0
0

A fork of the URLResolver dependency called ResolveURL provides an alternative method to resolving links from file lockers in your Kodi addons.

Read more about the ResolveURL Kodi dependency here in our guide.

ResolveURL Kodi Latest Version

The latest version of the ResolveURL Kodi plugin is v5.0.28. The changes in the latest version of the addon include:

  • Code Base Changes:
    • common.py
  • Resolvers Added:
    • xstreamcdn
    • lewdhost
    • videoapne
    • hxload
  • Resolvers Fixed/Updated:
    • realdebrid
    • premiumize
    • vivosx
    • rapidvideocom
    • dailymotion
    • fembed
    • thevid
  • Resolvers Removed
    • vidzella
  • Languages Added/Updated
    • Greek

 

The biggest change in the last versions is that ResolveURL now supports cached torrents through both the Premiumize and the Real-Debrid service. Cached torrents is a method for resolving HD streams and they are a big trend in the community these days!

If you are a Premiumize or Real Debrid user, you can now enjoy cached torrents in all addons that support ResolveURL.

 

What is ResolveURL

ResolveURL is a non-prejudice dependency resolver that decodes links from popular file locker hosts, allowing Kodi to play media from these sites. It is a fork of URLResolver that is maintained and developed by jsergio123, who is one of the best Kodi python code distributors on the internet today.

The ResolveURL Kodi add-on works in the background of Kodi (called a dependency) to decode file hosts in order to play the root movie or TV video stream.

If you are new to Kodi, you probably notice that a lot of add-ons use the same filehosts – Gvideo, clicknupload, zshare, dizilab are some of the popular ones.

The ResolveURL Kodi add-on knows how to navigate through these hosts, clicking through captcha’s and virtually retrieving the streaming file which you see in Kodi.

How to Setup ResolveURL

In order to use the dependency, addon developers will need to recode their addons to use the new dependency instead. The end user does not need to make any changes on their ends.

When you install an addon that uses the ResolveURL dependency, it will automatically be installed. You will then see the updates to ResolveURL in your recent addon updates area.

ResolveURL First Time Setup Important Notes

The first time an addon updates to use ResolveURL over another resolver dependency, there are a couple of very important notes you need to be aware of:

  1. You may get a popup notification that says that there is a problem with URLResolver. You MUST CLICK the “Ignore” button.
  2. You WILL need to reauthorize your Real-Debrid and other premium accounts to work with ResolveURL. To do that, you can find the configuration settings by navigating in Kodi to  SYSTEM > Add-ons > SYSTEM > Dependencies > ResolveURL > Configure > Universal Resolvers.

ResolveURL is automatically installed with any add-on that uses it, so you don’t have to worry about installing ResolveURL. Per jsergio, developers can add it as a dependency by adding the following code to their addons.xml file:

<requires>
	<import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.1.0"/>
	<import addon="script.module.resolveurl" version="5.0.00"/>
</requires>Import ResolveUrl in your code and use it the same as you would with the UrlResolver
import resolveurl
resolved = resolveurl.resolve(url)
Or you can import ResolveUrl as UrlResolver to your existing addon that uses the UrlResolver
import resolveurl as urlresolver
resolved = urlresolver.resolve(url)

The Ultimate Guide to Real Debrid

$

0

Real Debrid is the most popular option for Kodi users who want to access HD media with less buffer and more selections. If you want more HD links in Kodi today, then you need to read and understand our ultimate Real Debrid Kodi guide.

We always see tons of questions and comments on Twitter such as:

“Why can’t I find any HD links in (addon name)?”

or

“How come (addon name) is always buffering my streams?”

The truth is, the majority of file hosts in Genesis are provided for free and have limited bandwidth capabilities. These sites limit the download speed you are allowed to access them with and limit the quality of files that can be uploaded.

As well, the most popular Kodi addons have thousands of people trying to use the same streams at the same time.

All of these factors cause routine buffering.

Enter Real Debrid.

NOTE: If you already know what Real Debrid is about and you are just here to get an account, then click here to sign up and then come back for instructions on how to setup Real Debrid in Kodi!

Article Contents

 

What is Real Debrid?

Real Debrid is a paid service that gives you premium access to a large number of popular file hosts on the internet.

Your fee goes to maintaining and paying for those servers, so your download speeds are not limited and uploads are not capped to save space.

Debrid is a PREMIUM option that eliminates the issues that free file hosts have and makes addons  buffer free and high quality.

 

Real Debrid Cost

The monthly cost for Real Debrid on Kodi is insanely cheap:

  • 4 euros ($4.31USD) for 30 days
  • 9 euros ($9.69USD) for 90 days
  • 16 euros ($17.23) for 180 days

The risk to try the service is very low! It has been a favourite for Kodi users for over 5 years.

In addition, when you buy a premium package you earn fidelity points, which can be put towards free premium time for Real Debrid on Kodi.

If you are interested in trying Real Debrid, simply click here and sign up for an account!

 

Is there a Real Debrid Free Option?

You might be thinking “Real Debrid sounds great but I want to try it for free before I make a purchase.

Real Debrid used to run one hour per day where free accounts could enjoy the service. This used to be at non-peak hours so that premium users were not effected.

As of 2019, we cannot see this option on the website any longer. It appears that this has been dropped due to good reputation and number of users who have used the system.

Trust us, the Real Debrid account is well worth it. You can try it out for only a few dollars for a short trial and see for yourself!

 

Real Debrid Promo Code

There is no official Real Debrid coupon code or offer. The service is only a few dollars to try out, so the price point doesn’t need a promo code!

There are some verified Real Debrid resellers which sell premium time on the service for a fee. These resellers buy premium time for Real Debrid and may choose to pass on a discount to you.

Always read the fine print before going after a Real Debrid promo code or deal to make sure it is legit.

 

How to Sign Up For A Real Debrid Kodi Account

First, head to the Real Debrid website and sign up for a free account. You will have to pick a username and password and confirm your account via email. Standard stuff.

Once you have a Real Debrid account and you sign in, you will see that your account banner shows FREE.

SafariScreenSnapz014

On the top banner, click on “Premium”

PreviewScreenSnapz004

Scroll down and you will see your buying options. Select the package you want to try, and click “Subscribe”.

PreviewScreenSnapz005

Choose your payment method and follow the instructions to pay for your premium account. After your account is processed and you show as a premium user, you can setup Real Debrid on Kodi!

How to Setup Real Debrid in Kodi

The instructions below are for both URLResolver and ResolveURL.

  • From the Kodi main menu, navigate to SYSTEM (gear icon) > SYSTEM
  • Under the Add-ons tab, click on Manage Dependencies
  • Click on URLResolver > Configure.
  • In the URLResolver Configure window, select the Universal Resolvers tab.
  • Scroll down to Real Debrid and toggle on the Enabled and Torrent Support boxes. Also, change the Priority to 90 to ensure that your real debrid links will appear first.
  • Click on Authorize my Account to run the Real Debrid Device pairing process.
  • When you are done, click OK to save settings and return to the main menu.

Addons that contain Real Debrid links will now automatically route them through your premium account!

 

Real Debrid Device Pairing

During the configuration above, you’ll be asked to perform the Real Debrid device pairing procedure. 

In the addon, you’ll be asked to authorize your Real Debrid account. You’ll have to go to the Real Debrid device page and enter in a specific code.

After your account is synced, you’ll be able to access all of Real Debrid’s features.

You are now setup for Real Debrid Kodi content! You should noticed that the Real Debrid source shows up first whenever you go into a movie or TV show.

 

What are Real Debrid Fidelity Points?

Every time you buy premium Real Debrid time or refer users to the service, you get Real Debrid Fidelity Points.

In your “My Account” section, there is an option to convert 1000 Fidelity points into another 30 days of free premium time.

As you become a loyal and long term Real Debrid customer, this is free premium time that you don’t have to pay for!

 

Real Debrid Not Working

If you think that Real Debrid is not working for you, the number one thing we would suggest you try is re-authorizing in the URLResolver and ResolveURL settings.

This will ensure that your Kodi setup is synced back to your Real Debrid account on the web.

The second thing to try is to check your account and make sure that you are still a premium user. We’ve had tons of people online tell us the service is down, only to discover that their premium account has lapsed.

 

Real Debrid Alternative

If you are looking for a Real Debrid alternative, Premiumize is a very similar service that offers the same features:

  • Premium link resolving
  • Torrent and magnet support
  • HD media with less buffer

Premiumize is a little more expensive, but comes with additional features such as cloud storage and an included Kodi VPN! It also gets our recommendation if you are interested.

 

Real Debrid is a paid service, which will turn people off. Just remember, your favourite Kodi add-ons are FREE and you should expect FREE quality.

Real Debrid on Kodi is one option for giving yourself a more flawless Kodi experience. Hopefully this review gives you a good idea of what to expect on the service!

Check out our guide for the Real Debrid Kodi addon, which allows you to test out the service!

Universal Scrapers: Best Working Kodi Scrapers List

$
0
0

Do you want to see more working links in Kodi and speed up your searching time? Enable the best working Kodi scrapers and disable all those ones returning wrong episodes and bad links now!

This little bit of Kodi customization will help you see and watch more media. Searching inside of Kodi addons will be quicker with less sources to look through.

But first..

if you are new to Kodi, you may want to know:

What the heck is a Kodi scraper and why should I care?

When you use a Kodi addon to look for media links, it searches websites on the public internet for media files that match the name of your query. These websites are called scrapers and they are a big part of the magic behind Kodi.

Remember, Kodi addons do not store any content and videos are not found from thin air.

 

Popular Kodi Scrapers & Latest Update

The most popular updated scrapers on the internet are the Universal Scrapers.

The Universal Scrapers list is what is used by all Jen-based Kodi addons. It is maintained by a list of people in the Kodi community and is the reason why your Jen-based addons all seem to work or not work at the same time.

April 15th Update: An update to Universal Scrapers, v1.1.6,  comes with the following changes:

  • Fixed scrapers:
    • twoddl
    • piratebay
  • Change to cfscrape

 

Let’s get back to the goods..

 

Best Working Kodi Scrapers

Civitas Scrapers

A new project called Civitas Scrapers has come out, which combines working scrapers from various sources into a single spot. Civitas Scrapers can be integrated into any multi-source Kodi addon and you would not need to follow the instructions below.

 

Manual Lists

The original list below come from reddit_reaper and highlight which scrapers are working best in Kodi. We’ve updated the list to reflect recent updates to Universal Scrapers. Enable these scrapers and disable the rest today and Kodi won’t have to search through bad scrapers for bad content.

Good scrapers = good content.

This list is up to date as of November 2nd

Not sure how to enable or disable these scrapers? Check out underneath each list for a guide on how to setup scrapers in Kodi.

 

Best Working Universal Scrapers

  • Animetoon
  • BNWmovies
  • CoolMovieZone
  • CoolTV
  • Extramovies
  • Filu It
  • Hdpopcorn
  • Hdvix
  • M4UFree

  • Streamango
  • Streamdreams
  • TheWatchSeries
  • TvMovieStream
  • TwoDDL
  • VKflix
  • Watchepisodes
  • Watchfree
  • WatchStream
  • WatchTVSeries

 

How to Enable/Disable Scrapers

Depending on what addon you use, there are two different spots to adjust scrapers:

  1. Universal Scrapers Settings (Program Addon)
  2. Gaia Addon – Gaia has imported both sets of scrapers

To find your scraper settings, you need to head into the video addons (Gaia) or program addons (Universal) section of Kodi.

From your Kodi main menu, click on Add-ons.

Click on the Add-on Bowser gear wheel icon.

Click on My Add-ons

Enter your Program or Video Addons

Next, hover on the addon you want to change and hit the menu (‘c’) button.

Click on Settings

Depending on what addon you just opened, head to the scrapers section as follows:

  1. Gaia: Scraper Settings > Provider Settings
  2. Universal Scrapers: Scrapers 1 or 2 Sections

Keep the working Kodi scrapers listed above enabled and disable the rest!

It’s probably not a bad idea to clear your cache and userdata folder. You can find these options in each addon setting as well!

One other thing..

It is a good idea to clear out any old scrapers from your Kodi addons to ensure that the list you configured above is what will be accurate.

To clear out old scrapers:

Launch the Kodi addon you are working with (Gaia, Placenta, or the Universal Scrapers/jen based addon).

Navigate to Tools > Providers

Click the Clear button.

Now you will be good to go!

Still Not Seeing Good Kodi Links?

We noticed that some areas of the world, the United Kingdom in particular, block a lot of the popular Kodi scrapers. That means that no matter what you do, you will NEVER see links returned from these sites.

We did a full guide a while back on scrapers being blocked in the UK.

What can you do in this case?

We highlight recommend a premium Kodi VPN. You will open up your internet, bypass service provider restrictions, and see content from these scrapers again.

Use the links below to sign up for one of our two recommended Kodi VPNs:

And that’s it! Enjoy a better and faster Kodi setup.

The StarTec AIO Kodi Addon is a joining of all of the popular niche addons inside of the Gentec Repository. It provides a quick way to access Star-Tec, Replays R Us, Mobdro, Swift Streamz, and others.

April 15th: The StarTec Kodi addon was updated to v3.0.9. We’ve updated the listing of sections in StarTec below.

You may have noticed a few repositories choosing to release these all in one addons lately. Releasing individual niches was the former trend, however this installs the same dependencies and modules over and over again each time you install an addon.

By choosing the all-in-one addon, you only have to install each module once and you save on space and resources on your Kodi hardware.

The GenTec repository has some highly rated addons included in StarTec AIO, including:

  • Venom Replays – Sports replays
  • The Incredibles – Kids, Movies & more
  • Bert & Ernie – Boxsets
  • Movies
  • TV Shows
  • TV Soap Choice
  • Open Directories
  • 24/7 Non Stop
  • Documentaries
  • Comedy
  • Toon Mania
  • Kids Hub
  • Anime
  • Music
  • Radio
  • Podcasts
  • Live Concerts
  • Live Youtube
  • Gaming Zone
  • NewsOn
  • *Star-Tec* Live TV
  • Sports Arena
  • Season Jollies
  • Cooking
  • Tattoo Shows
  • Fitness/Workout
  • All About The Vape
  • Helpful Streamin/Kodi Tips
  • Latest Looto Results
  • Best Hacks
  • Bloopers TV
  • Fishing TV
  • Pranks TV
  • Disasters on Camera
  • World CCTV

If you are a fan of one or more of the addons above, install StarTec AIO today and you’ll enjoy them all in one spot.

 

How to Install StarTec AIO Kodi Addon 

  1. From the Kodi main menu, navigate to SYSTEM > File Manager > Add Source > None
  2. Type the following EXACTLY http://gen-tec.co/gentecwiz/ and select Done
  3. Highlight the box underneath and enter a name for this media Source like .gentec and then click OK
  4. Go back to your home screen.
    • ON Kodi 17 Krypton or later: Select Add-ons > Add-on Browser 
    • ON Kodi 16 or earlier: Select SYSTEM > Add-Ons
  5. Select Install from Zip File > .gentec > NEW REPO FOR GENTEC WIZARD > repository.Gentec-x.x.zip and wait for the Add-on enabled notification
  6. Select Install from Repository > Gentec repository > Video Add-ons > StarTec AIO > Install
  7. Wait for Add-on enabled notification

What is Open Directories?

One of the more interesting sections in the StarTec Kodi addon is Open Directories. If you aren’t familiar with Open Directories on the internet, think of them like yard sales or thrift shops.

In Open Directories, you don’t know what you are going to get, but the allure of finding a hidden gem is enticing.

Open Directories are folders of random content. There may be movies or TV or anime, action or comedy or documentaries. You don’t know what is inside each Open Directory until you open it up. If you are interested in Open Directories, check out the section within StarTec within Global Tec AIO.

Come and try the TVZion Android TV and Amazon Fire app today, which is packed with unique features and working sources to check out. If you are looking for a great Terrarium TV alternative, come try a fully original APK with lots of features today.

The TVZion Android app is an APK that you can load onto any Android device such as a phone, tavlet, or TV Box. Similar to third party Kodi addons that scrape the public internet for media, TVZion does the same thing without requiring the Kodi interface for media playback.

A lot of users have been looking for a Terrarium TV alternative since the popular Android APK pulled the plug back in September and is no longer usable.

Simply put, it is one of the best Android APKs available today. With REAL development and NEW features worth checking out.

As of the 3.4 update, TVZion contains the largest Trakt integration amongst all Android APKs or Kodi addons, Check out the full features and updates list below.

 

TVZion Android APK Guide: Table of Content

  1. TVZion: Kodi Alternative
  2. TVZion Latest Update
  3. TVZion Features
  4. How to Install
  5. What is ZionClub?
  6. FREE ZionClub Trial
  7. TVZion Screenshots
  8. TVZion Change Logs

TVZion is a media and title interface. It uses an Android media player, such as VLC or MX Player, to playback files.

 

TVZion: Kodi Alternative

TVZion is so smooth and packed with features that it might just be the Kodi alternative you are looking for. It has a few nice advantages over Kodi that we like:

  1. The interface is as intuitive as the best Kodi builds. You can leave it alone and it works great or customize it to your liking with custom playlists and content.
  2. There are less button clicks required to watch content than Kodi.
  3. Menus and screens are more graphical and intuitive to Kodi’s “paged” design.
  4. The features included in TVZion match some of the most popular ones included in Kodi addons like Seren and Gaia: Full Trakt support, cached torrents, lots of HD scrapers and resolvers (more on all this coming up)!

Have a look below at some of the features and screenshots and consider TVZion as a great Kodi alternative.

TVZion TV Features and Recent Updates

The latest update to TVZion is v3.6 from April 18th. It comes with a ton of improvements, including:

  1. You can now reset show/movie progress by login pressing the play/continue button. This will remove the Trakt history for that show.
  2. Trakt now reports better marked/unmarked status in TVZion
  3. Premiumize timeout settings optimized
  4. Trakt seasons will now view as watched or unwatched. You can mark this by long pressing on the season.

 

Other major changes and additions to TVZion in the last little while include:

  1. Advanced options for AutoPlay
    1. Minimum link count
    2. Maximum delay
    3. # of retry intervals
    4. Quality based filtering (3D, 4K, 1080p, DTS, more)
  2. The addition of ZionToons, a new area dedicated to cartoons and animated content.
  3. Completely overhauled Trakt support You can add all of your Trakt collection folders and playlsits to the TVZion home screen. There is  also a dedicated Trakt dropdown that you can select from the home screen.
  4. The Zion home screen has been improved to include the ability to customize all the widgets shown. You can long press on any home widget to add/remove/modify it.
  5. You can enable an option in the settings to hide caught up content and only show episodes you haven’t watched yet (Settings > App Management > Watch List > Hide)

This update should make Trakt users very happy. Overall, A lot of features in this update are not available in any other apk (at least for the time being, I’m sure other apks will bring these eventually if they are useful).

 

TVZion APK Features

The TVZion Android APK has features that aren’t included in any other app. Some of the things we really like include:

1. Extensive Cached Torrent Support – More 4K/HD Content

Cached torrents is a service where Real Debrid and Premiumize store torrent files within their cloud storage cache. When you play media that has a cached version in the cloud, Debrid or Premiumize serve you this file.

Unlike traditional media files stored on file hosts, cached torrent links do not go down. Even better, Debrid services have a much higher bandwidth which means these files are top quality. And TVZion supports them a..

 

2. The Best Home Screen Interface – Fully Customizable & Beautiful

The number one reason we would recommend an APK over a Kodi addon is because of the home screen user interface that the TVZion Android APK offers. TVZion features a really nice grid format that is both visual and packs a ton of information onto your TV screen.

Check out the pictures at the bottom of this guide to see what we mean!

 

3. Extensive Trakt Support – Browse Trakt Playlists, Track Watching & More

TVZion supports everything related to Trakt. This means that if you are used to having your collection and watchlists and playlists in your Kodi addons, you’ll. be excited to know that you just need to authorize Trakt within TVZion to  pull up all of this information.

TVZion shows suggestions for other titles that are similar you may like.

 

One nice thing we noticed is that TVZion has a nice “if you like this” feature where it recommends other TV shows and movies in TVZion. This is a feature that does not exist in any Kodi addon.

 

4. Extensive Link Metadata – Descriptive Video & Audio Quality

tvzion metadata

TVZion supports advanced metadata such as file size, quality, bit rate, audio channels, and other things people find important. It knows which one is the best and autoplays it for you.

You can also sort and filter and query this metadata to make sure that you only see the quality you want to see.

 

5. Less Button Clicks – More Watching!

Compared to a Kodi addon or any other APK, the TVZion app doesn’t need as many button clicks. Some examples we noticed of this are:

  1. Resume watching series right from the home screen without having to navigate through any menus.
  2. TVZion automatically knows which episode you left out on, so you never need to go into the “episode select” screen.
  3. Autoplay is enabled by default and works great in TVZion, so you don’t have to pick your sources.

Some of the features above give TVZion a more Netflix-style of feel where you can watch content faster without having to browse through links and options.

There are other smaller examples which are really nice to see.

 

6. Other Features

In addition to the special features above, TVZion also comes with the following:

  • ChromeCast support
  • Real debrid support
  • Anime includes
  • External players support
  • Android TV optimized:
  • Android TV Leanback suggestions support (Nougat +)
  • Continue watching tiles on your Android TV home: Currently this feature is supported only Android TVs till Android Nougat. Nougat+ devices will be supported soon.
  • Play random episodes in one click
  • Special content sections in TVZion home.
    • Up next section
    • New in HD section
    • Airing today section
    • Recently aired section
  • Filter content by genre, year filters with sort by popularity, release date options
  • Customize thumbnail
  • Change grid size
  • Choose between poster/screenshot thumbnails
  • Disable texts on thumbnails
  • Trailer support

The Nemesis AIO Kodi addon is an all-in-one playlist addon for Kodi. It comes from the Stream Army repo and has tons and tons of content to check out.

Nemzzy is behind Nemesis AIO and he has created a real gem. The addon contains tons of niche content for guys, girls, families, kids, and more. There is tons of unique content not found anywhere else.

Below, find out about the Nemesis AIO pin system, setup guide, sections, and addon install guide.

Nemesis AIO Latest Update

April 18th: The Nemesis AIO Kodi addon has been updated to v2.0.0 with a big update! Some of the things added to the addon include:

  • Lots of new content
  • Movie and TV show multi-scrapers
  • Live Sports
  • Sports Replays
  • Cartoons
  • Anime
  • Music & Radio

Make sure you have the newest update and check it out today.

Nemesis AIO PIN System

The Nemesis Kodi addon uses a PIN system to grant access for users. A pin gives you access into the addon for 24 hours.

For those that aren’t familiar with the Pin system, it requires you to visit Nemesis’ website on the internet to get a pin which is required to be entered before you access the addon. This process is similar to the Openload pairing task that is required before using that file host.

If you don’t want to use the pin system, you can’t use the addon. Viewing the website for a pin helps give the development team ad revenue which can be used to pay for server costs.

There is a Pin System Android APK you can download to generate a pin and you can also generate a pin right from within the addon too.

Nemesis AIO First Time Setup Guide

The first time you launch and run Nemesis AIO, you will be guided through a first time setup of the addon. The steps you will go through are:

  1. You will be prompted to enter in an adult password for those who wish to view adult content within the addon.

if there are more steps added, we will update this section!

NOTE that the Nemesis AIO Kodi addon, like all others, hosts and stores no content. It simply pulls in content from around the world which is publicly available on the internet. We have no affiliation with Nemesis or any other Kodi addon and do not enable any of its content.

How to setup a full Kodi library.

How to access other great Trakt features.

Then you’ll love all of the easy step-by-step and tips in this guide.

Let’s dive in!

What is Trakt?

Trakt is a service that contains information on every single movie and TV show. Some of the information it keeps track of includes:

  • Title
  • Release data
  • Plot
  • Actors, actresses, director, producers, and other associated people
  • Poster and images
  • Similar titles

When you create a free Trakt account, you can use all of this information in a variety of ways, including:

  • Marking which shows and movies you’ve watched and want to watch
  • Adding shows to custom playlist and collections
  • Commenting and discussing the title

It sounds pretty simple, but Trakt is very good at working to keep track of your viewing habits thanks to a feature called scrobbling.

 

Trakt Scrobbling

When you watch a movie or TV show, Trakt stores this information in your account history and this is called scrobbling.

Scrobbling ensures that after you add a particular TV show or movie to your collection, it is automatically tracked and updated if you watch something. As long as you use a Trakt application that is hooked into it’s API, your account will automatically be scrobbled.

These Trakt applications include apps for iOS and Android.

But it also includes our favorite media player, Kodi.

 

How to Sign Up For Trakt

  1. Visit the official Trakt website.
  2. Click the red Join Trakt for Free button.
  3. Choose a username and fill out the form. When you are done, click Join Trakt
  4. You’ll be asked to select your favorite genres and some shows to add to your collection first. Fill this out now or skip ahead.

Once you are done, you’ll end up at your Trakt dashboard! You can browse through all of the options here or you are now ready to sync Trakt with Kodi.

 

Trakt With Kodi

You can sync and authorize your Trakt account in all of the most popular Kodi addons today (more on that later) to supercharge Kodi in a number of ways.

Features

  1. View all of your Trakt playlists and collections inside of Kodi.
  2. Automatically have Kodi keep track of watched items and items up next to watch.
  3. View public Trakt playlists in addons such as Trending Movies, Movies In Theatres, Trending TV Shows, TV Shows by Network, and more.
  4. Load in Trakt’s metadata listed above to show more information in Kodi.
  5. User Trakt as your Kodi library and movie/TV database

 

Kodi Addons That Support Trakt

If you want to use Trakt with Kodi, the good news is that all of the most popular Kodi addons and Android APKs include Trakt integration. Some of our favorite Kodi addons with full Trakt support are:

  1. Seren
  2. Gaia
  3. 13 Clowns
  4. Yoda
  5. TVZion (Android APK)

 

How to Authorize Trakt in Kodi

The process to authorize Trakt with Kodi is roughly the same. The hardest part is finding out where the authorize Trakt button is depending on your chosen Kodi addon. We’ve made it easy by listing the location of the 5 addons we listed above.

Authorize Trakt Button Location

Seren

  1. Tools
  2. Open Settings Menu
  3. Accounts tab
  4. Authorize Trakt under Trakt Account Setings

Gaia

  1. Tools
  2. Settings
  3. Accounts Tab
  4. Under Trakt, click on Enable
  5. Authorize Trakt

13 Clowns

  1. Tools
  2. TRAKT: Authorize

Yoda

  1. Tools
  2. TRAKT: Authorize

TVZion

  1. Hamburger menu (three horizontal lines)
  2. Settings
  3. (+) Add Trakt Account

 

After you click on the bolded text in one of the addons above, you will be a prompted with a popup that says something similar to the following:

Visit https://trakt.tv/activate

When prompted, enter: *CODE*

To authorize Trakt with Kodi, open up a web browser on any device connected to the same network as your Kodi hardware. For most people, it will be easiest to use your smart phone or a laptop.

When you visit the address above, you will have to login with your Trakt information if you aren’t already logged in.

Next, enter the given code into the box and hit enter.

You may be asked if the application is allowed to sync with your Trakt data. In this case, press Yes.

When everything is complete, the Trakt authorization message shown above will disappear.

Congratulations, your Trakt account is now synced with Kodi. Feel free to perform the steps above on all of your addons.

So now what? Let’s have a look at what things you can do in Kodi with Trakt authorized.

 

Trakt “My” Lists

When you authorize your Trakt account within a Kodi addon, the first thing you’ll notice is that on the main menu are a bunch of new “My” lists: My Movies and My Shows. These “My” Trakt lists load your Trakt scrobbling data right into Kodi in a number of ways.

Let’s have a look at what “My” Trakt lists you may see:

trakt playlists

Finish Watching

If you start to watch a TV show or movie but stop for whatever reason, Trakt knows that! It keeps a playlist titled ‘finish watching’ so that you can go and quickly watch that content you never quite finished in the past.

Collection

The Trakt collection is one of the most widely used features between Trakt and Kodi users. Your collection is like your library – all of those shows and movies you want to keep track of and access quickly.

If you only use one feature between Trakt with Kodi, make it the collection. It will let you quickly watch your favorite shows without searching them each time. And putting new shows or movies into your collection is really easy, which we will show you about in the next section.

Watchlist

Like the collection, the watchlist is a playlist of things you want to watch in the future or maybe are interested in. This is not a feature I’m that familiar with because I see it as redundant to the collection, but is another Trakt playlist you can use accordingly.

Next Up

The Next Up Trakt playlist shows you the next episode you haven’t watched in all of the TV shows you have stored in your collection. This playlist is nice because it saves you a few clicks. Rather than having to select a show, select a season, and then select an episode, you can quickly launch episodes from this area.

Unfinished Shows in Collection

This playlist is similar to your Trakt Collection, but it filters out all of the shows which you have watched all of the episodes for. The more you watch episodes while you have Trakt synced in Kodi, the bigger your collection will be and more content you’ll have to scroll through. In this case, it’s nice to just check out the unfinished shows you have left to watch.

Recent Episodes

One of the things Trakt keeps track of is the air date of every show in existence. The Recent Episodes Trakt playlist shows all of the episodes that have aired in the past week. When you are waiting for shows to air, this is a great spot to keep an eye on recent episodes.

My Lists

Trakt has a feature where users can submit playlists and allows other to add them into their Trakt account. For all of the lists you’ve added to your account, you can view them in this area.

Some examples of some custom Trakt playlists include “Newest HD movies”, “Best (genre) movies/TV”, or “Best (TV Network/Movie Studio) Collection”

If you want more information on how to add custom Trakt playlists to your account, check out our massive list of 49+ Trakt playlists!

 

Now that you know what some of the Trakt menus in Kodi do, you might be wondering how to make use of them!

Let’s have a look at that in the next section.

 

Trakt With Kodi Tips and Step-by-Steps

If you are curious about anything or want to know the steps to do anything else, comment at the bottom of this guide or get in touch with us on Twitter and we will add to this guide.

Trakt Manager

trakt manager kodi

The first Trakt with Kodi thing you want to get used to is the Trakt Manager, a context menu option that is added to your Kodi addons when you have an authorized Trakt account.

To access it, simply find or search for any movie or TV show in Kodi. When you are hovered on the title, press the menu button (‘c’ on a keyboard) to bring up the Kodi context menu. From here, select Trakt Manager.

The Trakt Manager allows you to quickly take a number of actions including:

  1. Add to Collection
  2. Remove From Collection
  3. Add to Watchlist
  4. Remove From Watchlist
  5. Add to New List

So, you can add content to your collection and then quickly access it using the “My Lists” link we talked about above to access your Collection or Watchlist.

 

Mark As Watched

One nice thing you might want to get used to, especially if you want to use the Next Up and Unfinished Shows playlists is marking episodes you’ve already watch already accordingly.

To do this, hover on an episode of a TV show and press the menu (‘c’) button.

From the context menu, select Mark as Watched.

Some addons will show a checkmark beside episodes you’ve watched already. Trakt will also keep track of this data and will update playlists accordingly.

 

Now you have all of the tools you need to use Trakt with Kodi! Comment below and tell us what you think about Trakt.

What is the URLResolver Kodi Add-on? Kodi URLResolver Update

$

0

The URLResolver Kodi add-on works in the background to improve your Kodi experience on almost every popular Kodi add-on. What does the latest Kodi URLResolver update bring to the table? Read on to find out!

April 21st URLResolver Kodi Update:

URLResolver has been updated to  v5.0.34.

Check out the full list of changes below. If any of the addons you have installed used ResolveURL as a dependency, they will be receiving the new update!

URLResolver Kodi v5.0.34 Change Log

  • Code Base changes
    • common.py
  • Resolvers Added
    • hzload
  • Resolvers Fixed/Updated
    • realdebrid
    • rembed
    • thevid
    • vidtodo
  • Resolvers Removed
    • vidzella
  • Languages Added/Updated
    • none

 

Previously, URLResolver added torrent and magnet link support for Premiumize and Real Debrid. That means that you’ll be able to access cached torrents in Kodi with URLResolver now.

URLResolver was originally created by TVAddons (source: http://fusion.tvaddons.co) and they store the official version. A few other repositories may also be hosting the addon update.

If you have either repo installed, your URLResolver should update to the latest copy automatically.

If you’d like to contribute to the URLResolver code, click here.

___

The URLResolver Kodi add-on works in the background of Kodi (called a dependency) to decode file hosts in order to play the root movie or TV video stream. If you are new to Kodi, you probably notice that a lot of add-ons use the same filehosts – Gvideo, clicknupload, zshare, dizilab are some of the popular ones. The URLResolver Kodi add-on knows how to navigate through these hosts, clicking through captcha’s and virtually retrieving the streaming file which you see in Kodi.

URLResolver is automatically installed with any add-on that uses it, so you probably have the latest Kodi URLResolver update on your box without event knowing it.

URLResolver Kodi newest changes:

  • Every resolver has been reviewed and fixed, as needed
  • Every defunct resolver has been removed
  • new resolvers have been added
  • All Debrid support has been added.
  • Simply-Debrid is now supported
  • Google’s ReCaptcha Version 2 is now supported (“I’m not a robot” checkboxes)
  • New method of simplifying ReCaptcha has been added
  • FilePup’s resolver has been updated to a hoster supported method (meaning less frequent breakage)
  • Simplification across the board to make adding resolvers easier

You probably already have the latest Kodi URLResolver update already, so you can go and enjoy the changes jsergio has made!

You can view URLResolver settings and set things like priority and premium accounts up by navigating to SYSTEM > Add-ons > SYSTEM > Dependencies > URLResolver > Configure.
