What is ResolveURL

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

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

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

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

How to Setup ResolveURL

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

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

ResolveURL First Time Setup Important Notes

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

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

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

<requires>
	<import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.1.0"/>
	<import addon="script.module.resolveurl" version="5.0.00"/>
</requires>Import ResolveUrl in your code and use it the same as you would with the UrlResolver

import resolveurl
resolved = resolveurl.resolve(url)
Or you can import ResolveUrl as UrlResolver to your existing addon that uses the UrlResolver

import resolveurl as urlresolver
resolved = urlresolver.resolve(url)
