13 Clowns Kodi Addon: Ultimate Setup Guide

$

0

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.

Not sure what this all means? Keep reading for all of the details!

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.

13 Clowns Latest Version

April 21st: The 13 Clowns Kodi addon has been updated to v5.0.6. Recent changes to the addon include:

  • Fixed kids broken links
  • Misc fixes
  • cfscrape fixed
  • clean install always recommend

 

Previously, the 13 Clowns Kodi addon added the following features:

  • Added kids section
  • Added documentaries section
  • Sports section added under One Click Special
  • 1 Click movies, IPTV, and sports events added
  • The implementation of Civitas Scrapers
  • Navigation changes: hide or show anything and customize the addon to your liking
  • Kodi 18 fixes
  • Added youtube section
  • Added classic movie links
  • Added channels & boxsets sections

The addon uses the Incursion code base (The Incursion fork comes from the original Exodus addon) with LambdaScrapers integrated into the addon. There are some “tweaks” made but those specifics were not posted.

Interested in checking out the addon? Instructions are below!

If you are having trouble getting the addon to work, check out our troubleshooting tips underneath the install guide.

Retro Games in Kodi: Introduction

Kodi 18

kodi 18 download

Since the release of Kodi 18 Leia, the Kodi software has had full support for retro video games in Kodi. That means that you can sync a controller to Kodi (or use a keyboard), install classic video game consoles (called emulators), and load retro video games (called roms).

Kodi allows retro video games through its inclusion of the RetroPlayer framework, which is a popular software package containing some of the biggest emulators.

 

What Video Games Systems are Supported in Kodi 18?

Kodi 18 includes support for a number of video game systems, including:

  • Nintendo / Super Nintendo / Nintendo DS
  • Gameboy / Gameboy Advance / Gameboy Color
  • Playstation One
  • Sega Saturn
  • DOS
  • Lynx
  • Atari 2600

 

Status of Sega Dreamcast & Nintendo 64 (N64) Support in Kodi 18

Two popular retro consoles are not currently supported in Kodi 18: the Sega Dreamcast and the N64. N64 and the Dreamcast cores both require OpenGL support, which is not currently included in the Retroplayer framework.

You will not be able to play Sega Dreamcast or N64 retro games in Kodi internally, but we will show you how to set these up to an external link later on in this guide!

Next up, we will have a look at how to get your controller setup in Kodi.

 

 

Syncing and Configuring Game Controllers in Kodi

This area of the guide is to help you setup and configure your game controller for retro games in Kodi. It covers a few important components, including:

  1. What Controllers are Supported in Kodi?
  2. How to Pair Your Controller
  3. Getting Kodi to recognize your controller
  4. Installing controller addons for each controller
  5. Configure your controllers for games

 

What Controllers are Supported in Kodi?

Kodi supports a number of the most common controllers, including:

  • XBox
  • Sony Playstation
  • Nvidia Shield
  • Generic game controllers (as long as they have bluetooth or USB support)

 

How to Pair Your Controller

To get your controller working with Kodi, you first have to set it up on the hardware you have Kodi loaded onto. For most people, that is probably and Android TV box, but this guide should work for Mac, Windows, and Linux as well.

If you want to use the controller wired, then plug it into your device. If you want to use the controller over Bluetooth, just turn it on and make sure it is NOT synced with any other powered on hardware.

 

Pair Game Controller on Amazon Fire

amazon fire tv

If you are using the Amazon Fire as your hardware of choice, then you want to navigate to Settings > Controllers & Bluetooth Devices.

Select the Game Controllers option and then click on Add New Game Controller.

The Amazon Fire will now search for known game controllers using Bluetooth.

If you are using the Playstation 4 controller, you must hold down the center PS button and the ‘Share’ button at the same time. For most other game controllers, you simply turn on the controller and then press the ‘sync’ button on the controller.

When the Amazon Fire recognizes your controller, it should be added to the list on the screen and you will be able to use the controller to navigate the menus.

 

Pair Game Controller on Android TV

x96 mini android

If you have an Android TV box, pair your controller by navigating to Settings (gear icon) > Devices & Accessories > Add Accessory.

If you are prompted to turn Bluetooth ON on your Android TV box, allow this to happen. Your box will now be looking for game controllers

Once again, if you are using the Playstation 4 controller, you must hold down the center PS button and the ‘Share’ button at the same time. For other game controllers, you simply turn on the controller and then press the ‘sync’ button on the controller.

When the Android TV box recognizes your controller, it should be added to the list on the screen. If your controller has been recognizes, scroll down and click OK. You will be able to use the controller to navigate the menus.

 

How to Get Kodi to Recognize Your Game Controller

By default, you should be able to use your controller and launch Kodi from your boxes main menu as normal. You will probably get to navigate Kodi using your controller right at this point.

If Kodi does not recognize your game controller by default, it may be disabled in Kodi’s settings. To fix this issue:

  1. From the Kodi main menu, click on Settings (gear icon)
  2. Select System and head to the Input tab.
  3. On the right, click on Configure attached controllers.
  4. Kodi will prompt you to enable the add-on configuration. Select Yes.
  5. A window will show your installed gamepad along with any profiles you have set up. Simply click “OK” to save and exit and see if your controller works now.

Now that your game controller is setup, you are closer to playing retro games in Kodi!

 

How to Install Controller Addons in Kodi

In order to properly use each emulator (like Nintendo, Super Nintendo, etc), you need to install specific controller addons that map out how your connected controller simulates each console’s native controller as follows:

  1. From the Kodi main menu, click on the Add-ons icon (open box icon).
  2. Select Install From Repository
  3. Click on the Kodi Add-on Repository
  4. Click on Game Add-ons
  5. Select Controller Profiles

From this screen, you must install controller profiles for all of the emulators you wish to use. So if you plan on playing Super Nintendo and Atari 2600 games, you must install these controller profiles.

 

How to Configure Your Controllers for Retro Games in Kodi

Next, you need to configure the buttons for all of the controller addons you just installed. You have to map buttons from each original controller to your new controller which you have synced.

  1. From the Kodi main menu, click the Settings gear icon.
  2. Select System and then navigate to the Input tab.
  3. Select Configure attached controllers.
  4. If Kodi asks you to enable the addon configuration, select Yes.
  5. You will see all of the control addons you installed for retro games in Kodi.
  6. Choose the one you want to edit and then scroll to the right where the Buttons are listed.
  7. Click each button and select it. The assigned button will be replaced by a prompt for you to press the equivalent button on your controller. So if you select the “A” button, then you’ll want to click the button on your controller you want to match A.
  8. Repeat this process for each button on every controller.
  9. When you are done, select OK to save your settings,

 

You have now installed controller addons and configured them and are one step closer to playing retro games in Kodi!

Next we get to the fun part – installing and playing games!

 

How to Install & Play Video Games in Kodi

Retro video games in Kodi are made possible by the use of roms and emulators. Emulators are little software programs that mirror old video game consoles. Roms are software replicas of video games that can be read by the Retroplayer emulator that comes packaged by Kodi.

You can install the roms or the emulators first, but we will show you how to install emulators since you already have everything you need in kodi.

How to Install Emulators in Kodi

  1. From the Kodi main menu, click on the Add-ons icon (open box icon).
  2. Select Install From Repository
  3. Click on the Kodi Add-on Repository
  4. Click on Game Add-ons
  5. Select Emulators

From the giant list of emulators you now see, you have to install the ones you wish to use. It’s a good idea to install at least one emulator for all of the different video game consoles you plan on playing retro games in Kodi from.

For some of the consoles where there is more than one emulator listed, here are our recommendations:

  • Ninetendo DS = DeSmuME
  • Game Boy Advance = mGBA
  • NES = bnes
  • SNES = Snes9x
  • Sony Playstation = PCSX ReARMed

If you are having trouble getting some games to work with the emulators you have installed, feel free to try others!

Next, let’s move on to talking about the roms, which are the actual retro games you want to play in Kodi.

There is an awesome addon called the Internet Archive Game Launcher (IAGL) that allows you to play any and all retro games in Kodi. Let’s walk through how to install the IARL addon and then we’ll also show you how you can add your own roms into Kodi and setup a directory to play them.

How to Install the Internet Archive Game Launcher Kodi Addon

iagl kodi addon

  1. Click here to access the Zach Morris Kodi Repository. Click the repository-xachmorris-x.x.zip file and then click on Download to download the repostory.
  2. Go back to your home screen.
    • ON Kodi 17 Krypton or later: Select Add-ons > Add-on Browser (open box)
    • ON Kodi 16 or earlier: Select SYSTEM > Add-Ons
  3. Select Install from Zip File and located the repository.zachmorris-x-x.zip file you download above. Click on it and wait for the Add-on enabled notification
  4. Select Install from Repository > Zach Morris Add-ons > GameAdd-ons > Game Providers > Internet Archive Game Launch > Install
  5. Wait for Add-on enabled notification

When you launch the Internet Archive Game Launch Kodi addon, you will see a ton of game consoles listed. Navigate through to a game you want to play and click Launch to open up the emulator you installed above and to start playing the game!

 

How to Configure Internet Archive Game Launch Kodi Addon (IAGL)

In order to use the IAGL Kodi addon without any issues, there is a setup wizard that has to take place. Complete these steps:

  1. Launch the IAGL Kodi addon settings. You can do this by hovering on the IAGL addon and long pressing on it or pressing menu (”c’ button) to bring up the context menu. Then, click on Settings.
  2. Scroll down to the Setup Wizard tab.
  3. Under Emulator Launcher, you want to select either “Kodi Retroplayer” or “External” based on how you will be playing the majority of your emulators.
  4. Since this is a retro games in Kodi guide, we will select “Kodi Retroplayer” and show you how to update a few select emulators to external later if you wish.
  5. Click on Execute Setup Wizard and follow the instructions.

 

Other Retro Games in Kodi Help & Tips

How to Install Retroarch

retroarch kodi

If you want to use an external emulator to play retro games outside of Kodi or you want to try out Sega Dreamcast or Nintendo 64 roms, you can do that!

First off, you need to install the Retroarch app, which is software that contains all of the same emulators you saw above.

A list of where to download and install Retroarch is as follows:

  • Windows, OSX users: Download Retroarch from here.
  • Linux users: Install Retroarch with from the PPA. See here for stable releases and here for nightly releases.
  • Raspberry Pi users: Install the Kodi addon Gamestarter to install Retroarch directly from Kodi.
  • LibreElec users (both x86 and RPi) have 2 options: Use the LibreElec “Remix” build herewhich includes Retroarch, or use the Kodi addon Gamestarter to install Retroarch directly from Kodi.
  • OpenElec users (x86): Use the Kodi addon Gamestarter to install Retroarch directly from Kodi.
  • Android users: Retroarch is available from the Play store.
  • S905 users: Use the LibreElec “SX05RE” build here which includes Retroarch

Install Retroarch on your device.

Next, we have some basic Retroarch setup to perform before we tell the Internet Archive Game Launch Kodi addon to launch it as an external app.

 

How to Setup Retroarch External App

  1. Launch the Retroarch app you installed above.
  2. Go to Online Updater
  3. Then, go to Core Updater
  4. Click on at least one core for every system you’d like to play to update it.

It is highly recommended that you update the Core Info Files, Assets, Autoconfig Profiles, Cheats, Databases, Overlays, and Shaders from the Online Updater Page so that you have the latest version of everything included in Retroarch.

 

How to Configure Retroarch Location in IAGL Kodi Addon

  1. Run Kodi and head into your video addons where the IAGL Kodi addon sites.
  2. Hover over top of it and long press or press the menu (‘c’ button) and then select Settings.
  3. Go into the External Launchers tab.
  4. Click on My System Type and select it from this list.
  5. You will have to complete all of the fields that now show up in order to get Retroarch to launch for specific emulators (which we will configure in a second).

Here are some helpful hints about some of the options that you will see:

  • Retroarch System Folder = This is the “com.retroarch” folder that installs when you install Retroarch on your Android box. It will be located at //data/data/com.retroarch/ for most users.
  • Retroarch CFG Location = This is the “retroarch.cfg” file location, which stores a bunch of retroarch settings. It can be located in a number of locations including:
    • /mnt/internal_sd/Android/data/com.retroarch/files/retroarch.cfg
    • /sdcard/Android/data/com.retroarch/files/retroarch.cfg
    • /data/data/com.retroarch/retroarch.cfg
  • Close Kodi on Launch = Some operating systems allow you to close Kodi when Retroarch is opened if you wish.
  • Pause Kodi on Launch = Likewise, some operating systems pause Kodi when Retroarch is launched so that it does’t take up any resources.

 

How to Launch Retroarch From IAGL Kodi Addon

Once your external location is setup, we can force some of the retro games in Kodi to launch the external app verses the internal one.

  1. Launch the Internet Archive Game Launch Kodi addon
  2. Head into the Browse All Lists playlist
  3. Hover on the console you want to launch using Retroarch, such a Sega Dreamcast or Nintendo 64.
  4. Long press or press the menu button to bring open the context menu and then select Update Launch
  5. Change this from Kodi to External to use the external settings you setup above.

 

Kodi Games on Xbox One Status

xbox one kodi

There is one giant exception to this entire guide – The Xbox. Last year, Microsoft allowed the Kodi software to be installed on the Xbox One as long as Kodi complied with all of Microsoft’s terms and conditions related to the system.

One of those major terms is that the Xbox One does not allow the installation of any video game emulators on its console. Thus, all of the Retroplayer dependencies and files are not included with the Xbox One version of Kodi and you will not be able to play retro games in Kodi on the Xbox One.

 

Slow Motion Game Fix

If you are seeing slow motion games and sound when you launch a rom, we have the fix for you. Follow these instructions:

  1. From the Kodi main menu, navigate to System > Player > Videos
  2. Uncheck the option to Allow Hardware Acceleration – *CodecName).

The official Kodi 18 download is now out! Install the latest version of Kodi so that you have the latest dependencies, addons, and modules loaded.

Development on the newest version of Kodi took place over more than.a year. Overall, the Kodi 18 download, Leia, has the following technical changes completed:

  • More than 9386 commits (code chunks changed)
  • More than 3000 pull-requests (collection of commits that were included in one go)
  • More than 8638 changed files

  • More than 427.000 code lines added
  • Over 36 opensource developers
  • A lot of free time developing and testing these changes

Kodi 18 Upgrade Tips

If you are looking to upgrade to Kodi 18, here are some helpful hints to get you started:

  • It is a good idea to switch back to the default Estuary skin before updating. Due to backend Kodi changes, all skins need to be updated for Kodi 18. Revert back to Estuary before upgrading to ensure that you will at least see everything after you upgrade. Some of the skins that have been upgraded to support Kodi 18 include:
    • Confluence
    • Pellucid
    • Rapier
    • Transparency
  • You are free to install Kodi 18 right over top of Kodi 17. Your operating system should work its magic in the background.
  • If you want to backup your Kodi setup before updating, we have a handy Kodi backup guide that may be of use.

Kodi 18 Latest Update

April 23rd: Kodi 18.2 has been released across all platforms! This is a bug fix release that improves the quality of Kodi on all operating systems. If you have Android TV, Kodi should automatically update from the Google Play store. Most/all other operating systems will have to install manually.

There should be no risk in installing Kodi 18.2 over top of your existing Kodi 18 setup.

January 28th: The official and final kodi 18 download is now available. This comes after 5 release candidate versions which cleaned up the remainder of the bugs in Kodi 18 and allowed it to get to final stage.

Check out the next section for a generalized list of new features included in the new Kodi 18 download.

Kodi 18 Features

Much of the work in Kodi 18 Leia has been to standardize the backend code, which should mean less errors and better video processing for everyone! Some of the other features noted in this Kodi 18 download:

  • Button maps for controllers completed
  • Improved playback on Android video and DTS-HD audio
  • Revamped music library to read metadata instead of just file name.
  • Live TV overhaul – Need a USB or network tuner such as HDHomeRun.
  • Xbox One Support
  • More standardized Android code: Now includes leanback search integration and Google Assistant voice integration
  • Better remote and controller support
  • Revamped video player support
  • Digital Rights Management (DRM) support for login and subscription based DRM services.
  • Libretro API added for full game client support. Libretro is the most popular backend for classic game emulators and inclusion into Kodi will open up a whole world of users who can emulate old games within the Kodi interface. Setup can be tricky for beginner users, so we are interested to see how each setup is on Kodi, particularly getting your game controllers (including Playstation and Xbox) to work.
  • Improvements to nearly all backend PVR clients supported by Kodi including FilmOn, HDHomeRun ArgusTV, and others. This should mean better menus, feel, and look for viewing live TV channels via an over-the-air tuner.
  • Improvements made to Inputstream clients, which improve network streaming protocols. This should hopefully open the door to creating native Kodi addons for online streaming services such as Sling TV, Youtube TV, and other live IPTV sources.
  • Better Bluetooth support. This should allow controllers, remotes, keyboard, mouse, and other accessories better access to control Kodi.
  • Speech-to-text and recommendations support on Android TV. This should allow Kodi to better integrate into the Android backend and be included in the recommendation tiles that come standard on newer Android devices (such as the nVidia Shield).
  • Improved Python based  web scraper support.
  • Added game client addons for many popular third-party game consoles
  • Added new PVR clients for Zattoo Box, Teleboy, and Seldovanitv.
  • Added ability to inspect addon dependencies before installing
  • Added addons for game controllers and peripherals
  • Audio engine improvements

 

Kodi 18 Skins

Note that all of the changes in Kodi 18 means that old skins are NOT compatible. This means that skin developers will need to add Kodi 18 support before you can use it. This happened back during the Kodi 16 to 17 transition as well.

If your skin is not supported with Kodi 18, you will most likely see the Kodi logo on startup and then Kodi will crash before it gets to your main menu. It is highly recommended that you change your skin back to the default Estuary before you upgrade.

 

Check out the guide below to get the Kodi 18 download today. The process runs the same across all operating systems.

Kodi 18 Download 

  1. Visit the Kodi download page by clicking here or navigating to kodi.tv/download on your box..
  2. Select your operating system. A popup will appear and you’ll want to click on the Development Builds tab.
  3. Read the text warning you about what the nightly builds are meant for and refer to the guide on how to submit bug reports. When you are ready to download, click the appropriate button beside the word Nightly.
  4. The nightly build will download. When it is complete, launch it and install just like any software.

 

Kodi 18 Amazon Fire Stick

Check out our Kodi install guide for the Amazon Fire TV including Firestick for full details on how to get the newest version of Kodi loaded onto your Amazon box.

 

Kodi 18 Android TV

As of right now, the release of the Kodi 18 download on the Android TV has not been updated on the Google Play Store. It is in the process of being updated in the next day ot so.

If you are using Android TV and need the new Kodi 18 download, you can download the file on your computer, move it to your Android device via USB stick and install by using ES File Explorer to launch the download.

If you don’t know how to do all of that, our suggestion is to bookmark this page or follow us on Twitter and we will keep you update to date.

Seren Latest Version

April 24th: Seren has been updated to v0.2.22 with fixes for some of the bugs that were introduced in the last major update.

To see all of the recent Seren addon changes, head down to our Seren change log section below which has more information!

 

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.

  7. A prompt will come up asking if you’d like to install the scrapers. Press Install and then press OK after they are done.

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
  3. Click on the addon and click on Configure to bring open the settings screen.
  4. In the Settings tab, change the Default action when nothing selected option to Don’t Play. This will stop Seren from automatically playing the next episode when you don’t select it to.
  5. Enable the option to Enable on Playlist.
  6. Press OK to save your settings.

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 19: The Ultimate Guide – Download, Features & Information

$
0
0

This is the ultimate guide to Kodi 19, the next major update to our favorite media center.

So if you want to learn:

Kodi 19 features

Kodi 19 release date

Kodi 19 download information

All of the latest updates announced.

Then this is the guide to check out. Let’s dive in!

 

Kodi 19 Codename

Each version of Kodi comes with a codename to help users identify it.

Kodi 16 was Jarvis. Kodi 17 was Krypton. Kodi 18 was Leia.

The Kodi foundation asked for suggestions on their forums for the Kodi 19 codename, which starts with ‘M’.

A shortlist was put to vote by the developers and the Kodi 19 codename is Matrix. 

 

Kodi 19 Release Date

The release date for Kodi 19 Matrix is fluid and won’t be officially announced until a later date. However, we can look at the release history of the last few versions of Kodi to make a guess.

Kodi 16 was released on February 20th, 2016.

Kodi 17 was released on February 5th, 2017.

Kodi 18 was released on January 29th, 2019.

The reason for the long delay between Kodi 17 and Kodi 18 is become the majority of code was stripped out and replaced with modern programming standards and libraries. This was done to “future-proof” the code behind Kodi and allow better collaboration and support for all of the different operating systems.

Based on this information, can we guess the Kodi 19 release date?

Nothing is set in stone unless it comes from the official Kodi foundation, but we hope to see something around Q1 (January-March) of 2020. A number of milestones before then will give us an idea if things are on schedule.

The alpha release of Kodi 19 Matrix would be in the fall of 2019. The beta release would come in the winter of 2019.

The above is complete speculation though!

The Kodi software is well-developed and new major features are harder to recognize and implement. Kodi 18 also runs very well on all operating systems. Because of this, it wouldn’t be a stretch to see another two year development cycle.

 

Kodi 19 Download

Currently, there is not official Kodi 19 download available and Kodi 19 matrix is considered to be in a pre-alpha state.

The Kodi team has always allowed users to test “nightly” versions of its software. These nightly versions often include features that are unfinished and untested and are not recommended for any permanent or main usage. If you don’t know what you are doing, do not try to install the nightly Kodi 19 pre-alpha version.

For those that do want to try out the Kodi 19 download, you can get more information from the official Kodi nightly release page.

As soon as an official Kodi 19 download is released, we will update this guide with all information!

 

Kodi 19 Features

So what new features does Kodi 19 have? Well, nothing has been officially announced yet and we might not hear much until the Kodi 19 alpha release comes nearer.

On the Kodi forums, a wish list of features was created for Kodi 19 and the most requested new features were:

  1. Samsung Smart TV support
  2. Internal web browser support
  3. Improved 3D video capabilities
  4. Improved AirPlay support
  5. Official integrations with third party applications such as Netflix, Amazon Video, Hulu and others
  6. Improved smart home integration

 

What features do you want to see in Kodi 19? Comment below and let us know!

 

Kodi 19 Addons, Skins & Builds

One of the most common questions whenever a new version of Kodi is released is whether or not addons, skins and builds are backwards compatible with previous versions of Kodi.

We will update this section with more information as soon as it is available. However, a lot of the work in the past few versions of Kodi has been to standardized code and dependencies and modules in the back end. This should increase the likelihood of Kodi 18 addons being backwards compatible with Kodi 18 addons.

We will update this area with more information soon!

Our guide below has all of the information on the new update and everything else you need.

Table of Contents

UK Turk Playlists Kodi Latest Version

April 25th, 2019: UK Turk Playlists has been updated to v6.0, it’s first major version update in years! The entire guide below this point has been reviewed and overhauled to match up with the new version release.

Along with the new addon update, the UK Turks repository has been updated to v2.0. If you do not see the latest version of the addon or the repository, you need to reinstall using the instructions below.

 

UK Turk Playlists Sections

After you install the UK Turk Kodi addon, you’ll see the following options from the main menu:

  • Live TV
  • Sports
  • Movies
  • TV Shows
  • Cartoons
  • Documentaries
  • Stand Up Comedy
  • Concerts
  • Radio
  • CCTV
  • Turkish TV
  • Turkis Movies
  • Fitness
  • FoodPorn
  • Favourites

 

You really have to just install and use UK Turk Playlists add-on to appreciate the effort gone into making it.

NOTE: UK Turk Playlists hosts and stores no content.

 

How to Install UK Turk Playlists Kodi Add-on

  1. From the Kodi main menu, navigate to SYSTEM > File Manager > Add Source > None
  2. Type the following EXACTLY https://addoncloud.org/ukturk/install and select Done
  3. Highlight the box underneath and enter a name for this media Source like ukturk 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 > ukturk > repository.ukturk-x.x.x.zip and wait for the Add-on enabled notification
  6. Select Install from Repository > UKTurk Addon repository > Video Add-ons > UK Turk Playlists > Install
  7. Wait for Add-on enabled notification

 

How to Generate UK Turk Playlists Pin

This addon utilizes a pin in order to give access to content. When you generate a pin and enter it into the addon, you will be given 4 hours of viewing time.

This pin is ad supported and goes to support UK Turk for his time and effort in maintaining the addon over the last four years. It is a small, 20 second, inconvenience for the quality of links and content that the addon offers!

To go through the pin process,

  1. Launch the UK Turk Playlists addon:
  2. You will be asked to visit utpin.com
  3. Click on the yellow Generate Pin button halfway down the page.
  4. A 5 or 6 digit code will be generated, which you enter into Kodi in order to gain access.

For those familiar with the pin process inside of other Kodi addons, the UK Turk process is much less intrusive. You don’t get popups for clicking the generate button and all ads are shown in front of you on the screen.

UK Turk Playlists Kodi Alternatives

The UK Turk Playlists Kodi addon is a playlist Kodi addon. This means that UK Turk is a content curator, creataing specific playlists of metadata. The addon pulls streams from the public internet that match this data. If you want to check out other similar Kodi addons, check out the following:

  1. Maverick TV
  2. Nemesis
  3. Supremacy
  4. Deathstar
  5. Limitless

UK Turk Playlists Kodi Installation Failed

If you have issues downloading and installing the UK Turk Kodi addon, it most likely means two things:

  1. You don’t have the latest version of the repository.
  2. The repository is broke or down for maintenance.

 

When you go to install a Kodi addon, it retrieves an addon zip from an internet address. If the repository is down, the “installation failed” Kodi error is a common message.

One solution for this problem is to make sure that you can access the repository address on the internet. Take the http address of the addon and try to access it from your phone or computer. If it is unaccessible, there is nothing you can do until it is back only.

As well, make sure that you are only installing Kodi addons from their original repository.

 

UK Turk Playlists Kodi 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 the UK Turk Kodi addon, it means that the link you are trying to access does not exist anymore. If you are trying to start a stream from the addon, select another stream.

 

How to Fix UK Turk Playlists 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 or select more popular content that is more likely to be available.

 

How to Fix UK Turk Playlists Kodi 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.

  2. Head back to your Kodi main menu and then navigate to Add-ons > Manage Dependencies
  3. Select URLResolver or ResolveURL or the other resolver function your want to configure.
  4. Press menu (‘c’) > Configure > Universal Resolvers and scroll down to Premiumize.me.
  5. Change the Priority of your Premiumize.me to 90 (or something lower than 100 so that Premiumize links appear at the top of your search queries).
  6. Click on Login. Enter your Customer ID (this can be found in your Premiumize.me main login window.
  7. Enter your Pin (this can also be found in your Premiumize.me account page)

And that’s it! Premiumize Kodi is setup and the next time you use an addon that depends on either URLResolver or ResolveURL, you will see Premiumize links returned inside of Kodi.

0

The Sport365 Kodi addon is a live sports addon that pulls streams from a well known IPTV website. Read all of the details about the addon here, including how to best stream and view live content. 

The Sport365 Kodi addon is a unique live sports streaming addon. It is one of the only active live sports addons that does not rely on SportsDevil, Plexus, or Live Resolver. The scraper code for Sport365 is custom built for the addon. For this reason, Sport 365 appears to be a real winner.

The scraper source used by this addon is the popular sport365.live website. All content and metadata is grabbed from that website and the Kodi addon creator has no control or ownership over any of the streams.

Upon installing the addon, you’ll be happy to see that things are laid out very simple. There are no playlists or folders inside of the Sport365 Kodi addon. All active streams are displayed in a list. Each individual game has multiple links, up to 15 individual links per game.

 

Sport 365 Not Working – April 2019

There is an increase in users who are reporting that they are getting the “check log for more information” error  on all Sport365 links inside of the addon. The addon appears to be widespread and there is no current fix. We will keep everyone updated with more information.

Sport365 Kodi Latest Version

The latest version of the Sport365 Kodi addon is v2.5.2,which has been updated by the Bugatsinho Repository. For those users who were seeing streams last in the addon for only 6 minutes, give it a try now and let us know if its better! The full change log is as follows:

  • Add inputstream option for playback (settings)
  • Add alternatives domains and language support

Also, note that the Maniacs Repository has a v2.7 of the addon, so if you have that installed then you won’t get this nice working version.

The last major version of the Sport365 Kodi addon was v2.5. The full change log was as follows:

  • Add F4Mtester dependency
  • Re-organize addon
  • View links in folder mode (to avoid multi-requests)
  • Disable ads threads
  • Use of F4M to play streams
  • No more link drops after 6 minutes!

 

Check out the updated install guide below and install it from scratch if you don’t see at least version 2.1 on your Kodi as the repo changed in between 2.0 and 2.1!

The newest version comes with the following changes:

  • Forked addon and fixed it
  • Added language and quality of streams to metadata
  • Changed base URL to fix timezone inssues

 

Sport365 Kodi Tips

In order to maximize your success with the addon, the following tips are offered:

  • Make sure you are using Kodi Krypton (or later) for maximum success.
  • Click only once on a stream and be patient. Streams may take 20 seconds or longer to open.
  • In order to minimize buffer which is your fault, make sure your Kodi hardware is hard-wired ethernet to your house router. Wi-fi has 10 times greater latency than a wired connection.
  • If you cannot access any stream, they may be geo-blocked in your area. Connect to a Kodi VPN and try again.

 

If you want to install the Sport365 Kodi addon, follow the guide below:

 

How to Install Sport365 Kodi Addon – Standard Method

  1. From the Kodi main menu, navigate to SYSTEM > File Manager > Add Source > None
  2. Type the following EXACTLY https://bugatsinho.github.io/repo and select Done
  3. Highlight the box underneath and enter a name for this media Source like bugatsinho and then click OK
  4. Go back to your home screen.
    1. ON Kodi 17 Krypton or later: Select Add-ons > Add-on Browser 
    2. ON Kodi 16 or earlier: Select SYSTEM > Add-Ons
  5. Select Install from Zip File > bugatsinho > repository.bugatsinho-x.x.zip and wait for the Add-on enabled notification
  6. Select Install from Repository > Bugatsinho repository > Video Add-ons > Sport365 > Install
  7. Wait for Add-on enabled notification

 

Sport365 Kodi 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.

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.

 

Sport365 Kodi 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 the X Kodi addon, it means that the link you are trying to access does not exist anymore. If you are trying to start a stream from the addon, select another stream.

How to Fix Sport365 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 or select more popular content that is more likely to be available.

 

How to Fix Sport365 Kodi 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.

13 Clowns Kodi Addon: Ultimate Setup Guide

$
0
0

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.

Not sure what this all means? Keep reading for all of the details!

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.

13 Clowns Latest Version

April 28th: The 13 Clowns Kodi addon has been updated to v5.0.10. Recent changes to the addon include:

  • added swift streams
  • fixed settings links
  • dropped civitas included scrapers in addon now
  • misc fixes
  • clean install always recommend

 

Previously, the 13 Clowns Kodi addon added the following features:

  • Added kids section
  • Added documentaries section
  • Sports section added under One Click Special
  • 1 Click movies, IPTV, and sports events added
  • The implementation of Civitas Scrapers
  • Navigation changes: hide or show anything and customize the addon to your liking
  • Kodi 18 fixes
  • Added youtube section
  • Added classic movie links
  • Added channels & boxsets sections

The addon uses the Incursion code base (The Incursion fork comes from the original Exodus addon) with LambdaScrapers integrated into the addon. There are some “tweaks” made but those specifics were not posted.

Interested in checking out the addon? Instructions are below!

If you are having trouble getting the addon to work, check out our troubleshooting tips underneath the install guide.

As you can see, Destiny is packed with sections. Some of the sections come with new features and functionality that we’ll let you know about next!

 

Destiny Kodi Addon Features

The Destiny addon is similar to other Kodi addons. It offers TV show and movie metadata and scrapes the public internet for media files matching specific queries. It doesn’t host any files of its own.

So what does the Destiny Kodi addon offer you that other Kodi addons don’t?

All In One

Like most Kodi addons, Destiny offers movies and TV show metadata. However, it also bring together a bunch of other high demand content:

TV Shows Series Tracker

The Destiny addon automatically keeps track of all of the shows you are watching in the “Series Tracker” area. You don’t need a Trakt account in this addon to keep track of what you are watching.

In the addon, you can select to watch the current or next episode fast. And while you are watching, the next episode will also cache in the background and be loaded up for you.

Jen Lists

If you have a Jen xml list address, you can load it right into Destiny and add more playlists into the addon. This means that you can bring other playlist addons into one spot inside of Destiny.

M3U8 Playlists

In the Destiny Kodi addon, you can add M3U playlists for live IPTV channels right in the addon. We’ve featured a few M3U playlists before, so check out the guides below for information on how to bring them into Destiny:

Acestream Channels

Inside of Destiny, you can automatically add acestream channel lists into the addon. If the acestream link changes addresses to a new set of numbers and letters (which often happens), Destiny will automatically update these in the background for you!

 

New Options During Link Searching

The Destiny Kodi addon lets you do other things while links are searching in the addon. For example, you can watch a random upcoming movie trailer (option #4 below), view extra metadata about what you are about to watch, and more!

The new link search options in Destiny are:

  1. View media details
  2. View recommended movies for you
  3. Detailed display of the media
  4. Play a random trailer

 

Free Torrent Links Without an Account

The Destiny Kodi addon provides access to torrent links and files without a Real Debrid or Premiumize account! See for yourself in the addon.

 

Import Kodi Scrapers

You can import any Kodi scrapers easily into the Destiny addon. So if you prefer specfic Yoda or 13 Clowns scrapers, you can put the information into the ‘plugin.video.destiny/resources/done’ folder and Destiny will automatically read them.

But no worries, Destiny has compiled all of the best and working scrapers already into the addon.

 

If these things interest you and you want to check out the Destiny Kodi addon, check out the install guide below.

 

How to Install Destiny Kodi Add-on

ON Kodi 17 Krypton & 18 Leia Only: From the main menu, navigate to Settings > System Settings > Add-ons > Turn On Unknown Sources > Click Yes.

  1. From the Kodi main menu, navigate to SYSTEM (cog wheel) > File Manager > Add Source > None
  2. Type the following EXACTLY http://repo.mreggman.xyz and select Done

Unofficial Canelo Jacobs Kodi Addons

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

Some examples of third party Kodi addons include:

Common Kodi Live Streaming Errors

Canelo Jacobs Kodi 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 ‘Web Request Failed’ Error

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 ‘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.

Kodi ‘No Stream Available’ Error

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 ‘Script Failed’ Error

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 Canelo Jacobs Kodi 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 Kodi streams with, check out our Kodi store section on the website by clicking here.

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.

  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 v3.7 from May 1st. It comes with a ton of improvements, including:

  1. Full MyAnimeList Integration – Think of this link Trakt or TMDB for Animated content. Mark as watched, browsing of lists and search integration all included.
  2. Added (1) and Fixed (3) resolvers

For the complete list, check out the bottom of this guide!

 

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

  1. Set or reset watched/unwatched status on any movie or show by long pressing on the title, season, or episode.
  2. Advanced options for AutoPlay
    1. Minimum link count
    2. Maximum delay
    3. # of retry intervals
    4. Quality based filtering (3D, 4K, 1080p, DTS, more)
  3. The addition of ZionToons, a new area dedicated to cartoons and animated content.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

If you don’t know what Trakt is yet, Trakt is awesome and is highly recommended.

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

Best Kodi Addons: May 2019

Serenseren kodi

The Seren Kodi addon comes from nixgates, the former developer of the Incursion addon. It is one of the most unique pieces of development in the Kodi community since the original Exodus addon was created a few years back.

Seren integrates really tightly with both the Premiumize and the Real Debrid premium services for a more seamless experience. Some of the unique features that Seren has over other Kodi addons include:

  • The ability to quickly continue watching TV shows
  • Tight cached torrenting integration for more HD content and less buffer
  • Up Next integration, a Netflix-like feature that prompts you to start the next episode automatically
  • Seren automatically downloaded the next few episodes and queues them up for less wait time

The full feature list for Seren is too hard to list in a single roundup post like this, so check out our Seren addon guide for more details.

Seren Kodi Information

  • Kodi GitHub Username = nixgates
  • Repository Address = https://nixgates.github.io/packages
  • Kodi Repository = Seren Repository

 

13 Clowns

13 clowns kodi

13 Clowns is the perfect combination of a multi-source addon and one of the best addons containing free sources. 13 Clowns is also the home addon for Civitas Scrapers, a community scrapers project that is the next generation of Lambda Scrapers.

It has been a bit of a whirlwind past few months for multi-source Kodi addons. First, Blamo went offline and took with him both Placenta and Neptune Rising. Magicality took over as the trending addon, but suffered a short life. Exodus Redux hasn’t been updated in a while either. 13 Clowns is the most reliable of the working and unique multi-source addons.

Civitas Scrapers combines working scrapers from Yoda, Covenant, Placenta, Exodus Redux, and Incursion to create a giant list of working scrapers. As well, it has started to include specialty fixes not found anywhere else.

Scrapers mean more links returned by the addon, so we recommend trying 13 Clowns today to see for yourself.

13 Clowns Kodi Information

  • Kodi GitHub Username = 13Clowns
  • Repository Address = https://13clowns.github.io
  • Kodi Repository = 13 Clowns Repo

Joker Sports
joker sports kodi

Joker Sports – Joker Sports is a new addon by Maverick, who has some really quality Kodi addons. Joker Sports focuses specifically on, you guessed it, sports.

The addon contains multiple sources of live IPTV and sports related channels pulled from the internet. It also has a sports highlights area and one that contains show and event replays.

So far, Maverick has done a good job updating the addon so that it only contains working content. Per a message at the top of the addon, you may need a VPN in order to use some of the channels within the addon. Some links are geo-blocked in parts of the world (most commonly in the UK) so you will need to connect your VPN to a pro-net neutral company before trying links. Click here to sign up for a VPN today with a free 25% discount.

Gaia
gaia kodi

The Gaia Kodi addon is a diverse multi-source project aimed at giving you the most control and configuration out of any other option. It has integrated support for premium scrapers from Real-Debrid and Easynews, as well as free scrapers from Incursion and Placenta. You can enable and disable what you want in order to give yourself the right balance of displayed content.

Last month, version 3.0 of Gaia was released and it addressed the speed issues that most users regularly complain about. It has introduced a brand new feature called Orion, which is designed at speeding up search results. Orion is perfect for Gaia and it decreases scraping time down to only a few seconds!

Check out our in depth Gaia setup guide for full instructions and tutorial on how to optimize Gaia and make it run good for you today.

Gaia Kodi Information

  • Kodi GitHub Username = gaiaorigin
  • Repository Address = http://repo.gaiakodi.com
  • Kodi Repository = Gaia Repository 1

Deathstar
deathstar kodi

Deathstar is a new Kodi addon and new addition to our best Kodi addons list. It is a collaboration project from a number of different Kodi groups including DNA, Expose, WOW, and others.

Deathstar brings over 30 individual addons together into a single spot. This means less individual addons and bloat on your system in favour of a one-stop place for all of the content you could want.

No matter what you are looking for, Deathstar probably has it. And that’s the big reason why it finds its spot on our best Kodi addons list.

Deathstar Kodi Information

  • Kodi GitHub Username = N/A
  • Repository Address = http://uk1.site/Repo
  • Kodi Repository = repository.ukodi

FDJ.HD
fdj.hd frenchdj kodi

FDJ.HD is the all-in-one addon from frenchdj. It combines Documented.HD, Beats.HD, Alive.HD, and some new sections into a unique single addon.

One of our favourite sections in the addon is the Documented.HD area which contains – you guessed it – documentaries. Multi-source addons provide mostly information on movies and TV, but documentaries have risen in popularity over the last few years and are one of the most popular niche requests we get.

The Alive.HD and Beats.HD areas contain the biggest lists in Kodi for music concerts, music videos, and specialty music content. Other sections include content for magic, stand up comedy, and movie games (movies made out of video game cut scenes).

Content in the addon is automatically updated and there are hundreds of hours worth of content to check out. If you enjoy documentaries or any of the other content listed above, this addon is worth checking out today.

FDJ.HD Kodi Information

Maverick TV
maverick tv kodi

Maverick TV is our pick for top playlist Kodi addon this month. A playlist Kodi addon contains specific sections worth of content that is custom curated and maintained by one or more developers.

The reason why Maverick TV is so awesome is that it is such a well organized source for some of the best and most reliable links in Kodi. Inside of Maverick TV are multiple individual sections worth of movie and TV information. The 4K UHD list in the addon is the best in our opinion.

Maverick TV comes with everything from movies and TV to sports, documentaries, stand-up comedy boxsets, 24/7, music and more.

Maverick TV Kodi Information

  • Kodi GitHub Username = Maverick53
  • Repository Address = http://mavericktv.net/mavrepo
  • Kodi Repository = Maverick Repository

The Magic Dragonthe magic dragon kodi

The Magic Dragon Kodi addon has a ton of things packed inside of it that are covered in other areas in this list: movies, TV, documentaries, sports.

Included in The Magic Dragon are multiple movie playlists that cover a number of topics: hd releases only, new cam streams, the latest movie, trending titles, and more. The addon also has a torrent section that takes advantage of the new cached torrent support in ResolveURL.

The addon doesn’t have a lot of live sources, which are a crapshoot in Kodi anyway. There are big dedicated sections for replays, highlights, show replays, catch up TV and more.

The Magic Dragon Information

  • Kodi GitHub Username = N/A
  • Repository Address = http://supremacy.org.uk/zip/repo
  • Kodi Repository = supremacy

Youtube Music
youtube music best kodi music addon

Youtube Music has taken over from long-time best music addon, MP3 Streams. Some of the reasons we like it better are its better reliability for finding HD streams and additional playlist optjons from Billboard, Spotify, iTunes, and more.

Youtube Music allows you to stream virtually any song in the entire world, any time you want. It pulls metadata for songs from the internet including Billboard charts, specialty playlists, and other categories. When you click on a link for a song, the addon scrapes Youtube, which already contains every song, and returns an HD link. Any song that has a music video will play the official HD source.

The addon has a clean interface packed full of playlists and recommended content. Use this addon and turn your Kodi system into a music DJ. Prepare for the next music concert or tour in your area today. 

Youtube Music Kodi Information

  • Kodi GitHub Username = kodinerds
  • Repository Address = Manual Download From Here
  • Kodi Repository = Kodinerds.net Repository

Playlist Loader
playlist loader kodi

Playlist Loader is our chosen addon for accessing live IPTV channels around the world. . This is a bit ironic, since Playlist Loader is a Program Add-on that does not contain any streams or media. Instead, it is an interface that allows you to load in M3U Playlist files, which are text files containing live IPTV information.

Live TV in Kodi can be very finicky as any long-time user will tell you. The reason is because links are constantly changing on the internet, which requires Kodi developers to manually change them on their end each time. As well, the more popular a channel is, the more lag and buffer there is for everybody streaming. Rather than chasing Kodi addons which frequently go down and change, M3U playlists are updated on the fly and can be easily loaded in and swapped inside of Playlist Loader.

Some popular M3U playlists available are the new cCloud Atom and Fluxus IPTV. Check these out today and discover how nicely M3U files are to work within Kodi.

Playlist Loader Kodi Information

 

TVZion Android APKtvzion android amazon fire kodi

The TVZion Android APK. is our pick for best current Android app. For those of you who enjoy Android apps and miss what Terrarium TV had to offer, you need to check out TVZion today.

TVZion has a ton of features not found in any other Android app including:

  • Full cached torrent support
  • Extensive Trakt integration
  • Unique and easy to use GUI interface with less button clicks needed
  • More metadata for video and audio quality, file size, bandwidth, and more.

If you want to try one Android APK alongside Kodi, then check out TVZion today.

TVZion Information

 

UK Turks PlaylistUK Turk Playlists

 UK Turks Playlist is one of the longest running Kodi addons in the community today. It is a traditional style playlist Kodi addon, which means that its playlists are curated, maintained, and updated individually instead of automatically being pulled from a service like Trakt.

UK Turks Playlist was recently overhauled and given a major update to v6.0. It’s given us a chance to highlight was a great addon it is for everyone again. Some of the lists in this addon haver over 10,000 entries!

Check out the UK Turks Kodi addon today and see for yourself.

UK Turks Playlist Kodi Information

  • Repository Address = https://addoncloud.org/ukturk/install
  • Kodi Repository = UKTurk Addon Repository

 

Destinydestiny kodi addon

The Destiny Kodi addon is the newest addon in this list and we almost didn’t include it until it was proven more. However, Destiny has some NEW features and is more than just a Kodi fork, so we want to highlight that for everyone.

Destiny has a multi-source component to it similar to Seren or Exodus or Yoda. However, it comes packed with other unique features such as:

  • Dynamic Acestream integration
  • Full M3U Playlist support
  • Native watched support without Trakt
  • The ability to play a trailer while you wait for your link to load
  • The ability to load in a Jen XML list

Check out our full Destiny guide in the link above for more information and check out this addon today.

Destiny Kodi Information

  • Repository Address = http://repo.mreggman.xyz
  • Kodi Repository = Eggman Repository

 

And with that, we have posted our top 10 best Kodi addons. If you notice above, every single addon listed fills a very specific niche and different area of Kodi. There is.a lot of copy and paste and a lack of originality in parts of the Kodi community and we only wanted to focus on a single addon from each category.

 

Honorable Mention

As of late, some quality teams have come out with all-in-one playlist addons where they curate the content and organize playlists for Kodi users. We’ve highlighted SkyNet above, but want to acknowledge the following addons for the great work they’ve done:

What do you think the best Kodi addon is? Did we miss any of your favourites in the list above? Comment below and let us know what your favourite addon is. We will be watching for addons to add to the list in June.

OpenScrapers Kodi Project: The Ultimate Setup Guide

$
0
0

The new OpenScrapers Kodi project should give some long-term stability to Kodi. Kodi Scrapers are pieces of open-source code that can query websites on the public internet that contain media files and links. 

Our guide below outlines OpenScrapers, how to install it, and why it is useful.

  NOTE: If you are seeing this guide anywhere except for KODI T I P S.com without a link back, it has been stolen by some scumbags.

 

The Need For OpenScrapers

In March of 2019, the 13 Clowns repository created Civitas Scrapers from the former LambdaScrapers project and then abandoned the project without much regard for end users, This meant that a second “community” scrapers project was abandoned in as many months.

OpenScrapers is a new community project supplying working scrapers for everyone. Why do we have more faith in this project compared to Civitas? It is endorsed and supported by addons4kodi, the number one sub-reddit for third party Kodi information. With the team at a4k taking on the project, it should mean great things into the future. They have already done a great job on OpenMeta and OpenInfo.

Some of the other most common scraper modules for Kodi are Yoda and Universal Scrapers (which are used for every Jen-based addon). OpenScrapers is similar to these but with good universal support for all multi-source addons.

The project integrates working scrapers from all sources into a single spot so that Kodi users can find plenty of working Kodi links.

 

OpenScrapers Kodi Latest Updates

The latest version of the OpenScrapers Kodi module is v0.1.4, updated on May 3rd, 2019. It comes with the following changes:

  • Numerous scraper updates – rlsbb, putlocker & more
  • Code reformatting

 

The initial version of the project has support for over 50 regular sources, over 10 debrid sources, and 10 torrent sources. Until other scraper packages update their code, you may see a reduced number of streams. If you have the newest Exodus Redux Kodi addon, you will have the latest version of OpenScrapers.

The initial version of the OpenScrapers Kodi module works out of the box. If you want to change providers, install it using our guide below and then navigate to Program addons > press menu on OpenScrapers > go to settings and change what you would like.

 

OpenScrapers Addons

When we hear about new addons using this community scrapers pack, we will create and update a list in this section.

The original addon for OpenScrapers is the Exodus Redux Kodii addon. If you have Exodus Redux installed, you will see the latest version of OpenScrapers and a bunch of working links.

Sounds great? Follow our instructions below for how to install and integrate Civitas Scrapers today.

But first..

Disclaimer Note

Everything found in OpenScrapers is open-source python code and can be reviewed. The module only knows how to go onto a website on the internet and search for media streams.

Neither OpenScrapers nor any Kodi addon hosts any files or knows how to distribute copyrighted information. Any and all media questions should be pointed towards the websites.

 

How to Install OpenScrapers Kodi Module

You do not need to install this module on your own. When you install a Kodi addon that uses OpenScrapers as a dependency, it will automatically be installed in Kodi.

You can just watch this post and we will update everyone via our website and on Twitter whenever Open updates to a new version.

If you do Kodi development and want to see the inner workings of OpenScrapers, you can access the repository on GitHub for more information.

If you install the repository, then you can change ANY Kodi addon to use OpenScrapers instead of their old outdated scraper pack via the instructions below.

 

How to Import OpenScrapers Into Any Addon

Developers

Developers can import OpenScrapers into their projects by adding the following import code:

<dir> <info compressed=”false”>https://raw.githubusercontent.com/a4k-openproject/repository.openscrapers/master/zips/addons.xml</info> <checksum>https://raw.githubusercontent.com/a4k-openproject/repository.openscrapers/master/zips/addons.xml.md5</checksum> <datadir zip=”true”>https://raw.githubusercontent.com/a4k-openproject/repository.openscrapers/master/zips/</datadir> </dir>

 

End-Users

Any multi-source Kodi addon can be altered to use these new scrapers instead of its own scraper set. So for addons no longer being developed such as Placenta or Incursion, you can follow the instructions below to get things updated.

Open the `addons/plugin.video.name_of_addon/addon.xml` file. Add the following line to the addon.xml file: `<import addon=”script.module.openscrapers”/>` Open addons/script.module.name_of_addon/lib/resources/lib/modules/sources.py Add the following line to the `sources.py` file: `import openscrapers`.  Add it right after the line that says: `from resources.lib.modules import thexem` You will also need to change a few lines in the def `getConstants(self)` function in `sources.py` file: Find the line that says: `from resources.lib.sources import sources` Comment out that line by adding a pound/hashtag at the beginning like this: `#from resources.lib.sources import sources` add the following: `from openscrapers import sources`   And there you go!

The #1 Kodi Exodus Addon Guide: Redux Info, Install Guide

$

0

The Kodi Exodus addon is the most iconic addon for the media center. We have the ultimate Exodus guide below, including history of the addon, how to install, what to do when its not working, why you get “no stream available”, what Exodus Redux is, and a whole lot more!

Originally developed by Lambda, Exodus has been forked a countless number of times with tons of replacements. In 2019, the Kodi Exodus code remains largely the same with a few key additions and changes.

March 9th, 2019 Update: Exodus Redux has a brand new update! Check out the Exodus Features section from the table of contents below to find out more information about the new update.

Strap in and keep reading for all of the details! If you want to access a specific section, we’ve added a table of contents below.

Table of Contents

  1. What is Kodi Exodus?
  2. Exodus Features
  3. Exodus vs Exodus Redux
  4. How to Install Exodus
  5. Exodus Not Working Help
  6. Exodus “No Stream Available” error
  7. Exodus Tips

Latest update: The Exodus scraper module has been updated. Check out the Exodus vs Exodus Redux section for mor information.

 

What is Kodi Exodus?

Exodus is an open source set of code created by the developer Lambda that integrates three major components together:

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

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

When you search a title in the Kodi Exodus addon, it searches through scrapers, which are websites on the internet that contain links to media files.

In the initial version of Exodus, these scrapers were local to the addon. Nowadays, some community scraper projects exist such as Universal Scrapers and Civitas Scrapers. Community scrapers can be updated and then all addons using those scrapers receive the same updates.

But anyway, back to Exodus!

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

The resolver passes Kodi a media file that plays on your Kodi hardware.

 

Kodi Exodus Features

All versions of Exodus come with the following features:

  • Over 50 media sources scraped by the addon.
  • Special categories for movies and TV including most popular, latest releases, special genres, sorted by rating, and many more.
  • Support for non-English streams, such as Greek, Spanish, French, and more.
  • Full Library integration. Save your favourite media titles to your Kodi library for quick access and updating.
  • Full Trakt.tv support. Trakt is a third-party library and tracking tool. Click here for more information.
  • Full support for many popular account-based services, including Real-Debrid, Premiumize, and more.

 

Latest Kodi Exodus Update

The original Exodus addon has not been maintained by Lambda since early 2017 when Lambda retired as a developer from the community.

That doesn’t mean that the legacy of Exodus doesn’t live on though!

Today, there are two recommended forks of the Exodus addon that live on and are under development.

Kodi Exodus Kodibae Version

The Kodibae repository is a mysterious Github repo that updates the code of addons formally created and maintained by TVAddons. TVAddons is currently involved in a court case in Canada over the legality of its addons and does not host any grey-area content.

The Kodibae developer keeps some of the original TVA addons up to date, including Exodus. This version of Exodus is largely the same as the original release and it updates every few months with some new scrapers updates to check out.

The latest version of the Kodibae Exodus is v8.0.4, updated on May 6th, 2019.

 

Exodus Redux Kodi Addon

Exodus Redux is a popular fork of the original Exodus addon. It makes some key changes to the code base:

  • The resolver has been changed from URLResolver to ResolveURL, which receives more regular updates.
  • The scraper module has changed from local to the Open Scrapers community codebase.

Exodus Redux went without an update from December until March 2019 until a brand new update, v2.0.1. popped up on March 9th just a few days after the removal and hack of the 13 Clowns repo.

The information about the latest version of the Exodus Redux Kodi addon is below.

Below, we include the latest information for both Exodus and Exodus Redux, including troubleshooting and configuration help as well

Kodibae Kodi Exodus

How to Setup / Configure Exodus Redux Addon

OpenScrapers should be enabled by default. To double-check whether OpenScrapers is enabled, follow these instructions:

  2. “Choose Module Provider Source” should be set to “OpenScrapers”
  3. Open OpenScrapers Settings
  4. In the “Providers” section, Openscrapers should be selected from the “Choose Module Scraper” pull-down menu.
  5. In the “Providers”, “Foreign” and “Debrid” (if using a debrid service) sections, you can also enable/disable specific providers. If you want to use a different Module Scraper

Tip: Before selecting “Open Scrapers Default Providers”, it is a good idea to “Disable All Providers” first.

Tip: When switching Module Scrapers it is good idea to “Disable All Providers” first.

 

Kodi Exodus Not Working Help

If the Exodus addon is not working for you, it can be frustrating!

Luckily, most Exodus problems are common and can be fixed with a little bit of reading. Check out our full Exodus not working guide for common problems and solutions to Exodus addon problems!

If you are getting problems using Exodus Redux, you may need to re-enable LambdaScrapers inside of the Exodus Redux addon. Check out our Exodus Redux LambdaScrapers steps above.

If you aren’t tech savvy and just want to try something else, check out our best Kodi addons and best all-in-one Kodi addon lists for more details.

 

Kodi Exodus No Stream Available Fix

“No Stream Available” is a common Kodi error that most users will run into. There is a common misconception about Kodi addons you must first understand before we talk about how to fix this error:

  • If I see a title in Exodus, a stream must be available for it.

This is NOT true! Titles in Kodi are pulled from a service like Trakt or IMDB. If a movie is not released yet or is really old, there may not be any streams available and no troubleshooting will fix this.

If you are certain that a stream should be available for a title, you need to make sure that your scrapers are setup and working. Refer to the steps above in this guide on how to make sure your scrapers are working in the Exodus settings.

Try restarting the Kodi Exodus addon or Exodus Redux addon again. Try installing Kodi from scratch with NO build and this will most likely solve your problems.

We also have a No Stream Available Kodi guide which provides more details.

 

How to Authorize Trakt in Exodus Redux

If you are a Trakt user and store your movies and TV data in that service, you can sync your account by launching Exodus Redux and going to Tools > Authorize Trakt. Follow the prompts on the screen to sync your account accordingly.

 

Missing My Lists in Exodus Redux (Trakt)

If you are missing your “My Lists” which are your specialty playlists pulled from Trakt, you need to follow these instructions:

  1. Launch the Exodus Redux Addon.
  2. Click on Tools
  3. Click on SETTINGS: General
  4. In the General tab, go down to My Lists under the “Menu” sub-heading and make sure it is set to Enabled.
  5. Go to the Accounts tab.
  6. Under the “Trakt” sub-heading, click on Authorization/Re-Authorize and re-sync your Trakt account to Exodus Redux.

 

Kodi Exodus Tips

Check out some of the Exodus tips we’ve compiled from hundreds of questions and feedback submitted to us on social media.

  • Watching old content in Exodus – The Exodus Kodi addon searches the public internet for media. The older and more obscure the content is, the less likely it is available on the internet. There is nothing you can do about this. A private usenet server, such as Easynews, is the best way to view old and obscure content.
  • Seeing more streams in Exodus – Some users want to watch new content but still have trouble. Here are some common tips to improve your experience:
    • If its a movie you want information on, make sure it is out on DVD. If the movie has just come out in theatres, stop searching Exodus for anything.
    • If you live in the UK, your internet service provider may be blocking access to over half the available content in Exodus. Click here for more information.
    • If you have an Android TV box, make sure your OS version is AT LEAST 5+. The Exodus Kodi addon is not supported on Android 4.4
    • Make sure that you have at least Kodi 17.0 or greater (latest version is always preferred). Exodus is not supported on Kodi 16 or less.
  • Seeing only trailers in Exodus – If you commonly only see trailers when looking for streams in Exodus, click here.
  • GVideo links not working or missing – Gvideo media links are popular because they are fast and in good quality, but they are often prone to being removed from the internet. Click here for more information.

MKV No Sound or Video Fix on Android TV [Guide]

$
0
0

Have you tried to play a video file on an Android TV APK and found no audio or video on the stream? Come learn about a common MKV no sound issue and learn how to fix your problems today!

After this guide you will be able to watch streams with:

No audio issues.

No video issues.

Regardless of file type.

Let’s dig into it.

 

What are MKV Files?

MKV files are a modern media container file that packages audio, video, and subtitles using separate parts. Compared to traditional MP4 or AVI file formats which bundle and compress everything together, MKV files are separate components combined during playback.

MKV files allow different codecs for audio and video to be used.

 

Why Do Some MKV Files Not Work on Android TV?

Android TV APKs such as TVZion or TeaTV scrape the public internet for media files that match your search query for a title. When a file is chosen, which may be an MKV by chance, the file is passed on to a native Android player for playback.

Two of the most common Android TV players are MX Player and VLC. They do a generally good job of playing back any media file you throw at it.

EXCEPT that some really new audio AC3 or DTS codecs (don’t worry if those mean nothing to you) aren’t supported by MK Player Free or VLC yet. So when your Android TV APK goes to play files using those codecs, it doesn’t know how to process it and chooses to give you display MKV no sound instead.

 

How to Fix MKV No Sound or Video

In order to fix having no audio or video in some MKV files, you have to tell MX Player to use an updated custom set of codecs.

The bad news is that you can only load custom codecs on the pro version of MX Player.

The GOOD news is that it is easy to apply a patch MX Player which allows you to playback all video and audio codecs.

 

How to Install Patch MX Player for AC3/DTS MKV Files

  1. Launch the MX Player application from your Android apps section.
  2. Navigate to Settings > Decoder
  3. On the bottom of the page, note the type of custom codec your version of Android TV uses.
  4. Close MX Player and launch the ES File Explorer Android app (available from the Google Play store)
  5. Under Tools, click on Download Manager and then press the button.
  6. Input the URL below based on the custom codec you noted above:
    1. Neon – https://troypoint.com/neon
    2. Tegra 2 – https://troypoint.com/tegra2
    3. Tegra 3 – https://troypoint.com/tegra3

Tip: Filtering Content in Kodi

Some sections within this addon contain hundreds of videos in a single playlist. To quickly find content you are looking for, follow this tip:

  1. From the folder of videos you want to find something in, press the left button on your Kodi remote to open up the side options menu.
  2. Scroll down to the Search option and click Enter.
  3. In the typing window, start to type what you want to see (e.g. “Alabama” for all Alabama games). As you start to type, the addon will filter out only the results that match your query.
  4. When you are done, click enter and you will have a much smaller subset of video files to stream.
  5. To empty your search query, press left again and click on search.
