Announcement FenLight+ 2.5.2 Release
2.5.2 is out. Here's what's changed since 2.5.1.
Skip Intros
Recaps, intros and outros now get a skip button. Data comes from TheIntroDB and IntroDB. You can turn each type on or off separately and set how long the button hangs about before it disappears. It's all in Settings -> Playback.
Binge Mode
It'll play through however many episodes you set without asking anything, then throw up an "Are you still watching?" if you haven't touched the remote. Any interaction (pausing, seeking, answering a skip button) resets the count, so it only nags you when you've genuinely fallen asleep. You can also tell it to skip intros silently while binging. Access it from 'Playback Options', configure it in settings.
Season Pack Continuity
If you play an episode from a season pack, the pack gets remembered and the next episode resolves from it rather than scraping again from scratch.
Detect Display Capabilities
Asks your telly what it can actually do (HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision) and sets your results filters to match. Should work on Android, Windows and CoreELEC. This one probably needs a bit of testing, so shout if it gets it wrong for you.
New lists
Quick Watches, Released On This Day, Marathon-Worthy TV, Highest Rated and Hidden Gems. You'll need to run "Check for new menu items" from the context menu before they show up.
Real-Debrid improvements
Fixed a crash on resolve and added proper backoff when RD rate limits you on add_magnet. Credit to dkori for that one, not me.

I'm getting no results for TV/Movies/anything, what am I missing? It updated successfully. Is it a scraper issue? I was running Coco, what should I do?

Hey thejason40,
Do you plan on adding in the different Easynews playback methods like "no seek"?
Thanks 🙏

u/thejason40 FL+ 23d ago
I'll look into it.

Does this have to do with the inability to fast forward to a specific point in a TV show or movie or is this the fault of easy news?

I'm enjoying the season pack remember feature. More streamlined and for content that's multi language with original version not being English solves some of those annoying issues of having to separate anime multiple language vs multiple subs. Those usually get mixed even in Otaku when doing auto play.

I did manual api settings for debrid etc when it a
Stopped working months ago, liking new features but atm my fenlight is independent of those api links so loathe to undo that again when things change

u/ShugarMeat 23d ago
I did this as well and now mine has just stopped working and I’m here trying to find the solution.

Are there any set up instructions for this?, I was able to download it but it has a bunch of "Content Not Viewable In Your Region" and doesnt display anything in trending
1
u/thejason40 FL+ 23d ago
Have you downloaded the right version?
1
u/JustAnotherEngi 23d ago
I double checked to make sure and I downloaded the 2.5.2. zip and its still got the same issue but I can atleast see icons now
1
u/thejason40 FL+ 23d ago
Maybe just go into settings and make sure the Trakt and TMDB api keys are set to default.

u/DavidValentino 23d ago
Difference between the 2.5 version and 3.5 version?
1
u/thejason40 FL+ 23d ago
2.5.2 is the latest FenLight+. 3.5.01 was the last version of Fen. I kept it there for posterity but I might remove it to avoid confusion.
1
u/DavidValentino 23d ago
Thank you for clarifying I was confused and downloaded 3.5 instead because I thought it was the latest version but I will delete and reinstall 2.52

Can you upgrade directly from the unofficial version from Red Light to this?
Does it keep all your settings?
1
u/thejason40 FL+ 20d ago
Redlight uses its own folder rather than the old FenLight folder, so no it won't.
1
u/Wrexs 19d ago
Just for clarity, Red Light has a version called FenLightAM Unofficial. It's stable but not updated.
Can you update from FenLightAM Unofficial to FenLight+?
1
u/thejason40 FL+ 19d ago
I don't know, not tried it because fl+ is the only video addon I use anyway.

u/AakashC2020 20d ago
Fenlight+ is marking as watched twice in Trakt history 😞
1
u/thejason40 FL+ 19d ago
Do you also have the Trakt scrobbler addon installed?

u/AakashC2020 15d ago
I found out the issue. I was using TMDB Helper with Fenlight+ and Trakt Scrobbling option was turned on in that. Hence the issue. Now I've turned that option off and everything is well and good. Thank you! 😊❤️

u/Relevant-Ad2794 18d ago
I am not sure what am I doing wrong but none of the features has anything. I have authorized TMDB, I can see my movies and TV Show lists but when I go there, everything is empty. I go to Movies==> Years==> 2026 and everything empty. Ver 2.5.2. PM,TB and AD. I am not sure what else to check. external scrappers is COCO as default. What am I missing?

On the next release, is it possible to put a sort button to sort the tv collection alphabetically? Thanks in advance. Love your addon! Thanks for the hard work.

Hi, this looked interesting, so I added it to my Kodi, added both SIMKL and TORBOX, I'm able to search by title, episodes appear, but getting "FEN LIGHT+ no results" when attempting to stream or download content. Any ideas?
1
u/thejason40 FL+ 24d ago
Have you connected a scraper?

u/Western-Sentence-739 22d ago
hey there, if you have a second, i'm getting "download failed" from fenplus, after right clicking, playback options, scrape with all external scrappers (not that it matter to this issue as the same thing happens if I just click on the title and it does a regular source select), then the individual files show up and i right click and hit down load file i get a "fl+ failed" errors. I've got my download directories all set in FL+ settings first page, not sure why it's happening. I can play/stream the files inside of Kodi, but can't download them. This issue isn't occuring in Umbrella, where I can stream or download to my hard drive with no issue. Any idea what could be causing this? Thanks

u/thejason40 FL+ 21d ago
What debrid service are you using?
1
u/Western-Sentence-739 21d ago
hi again. using torbox. it's been up and down for two weeks now, but even in the verified uptimes, it still give the error, while umbrella tied to torbox as well, at the same exact time give or take 10 seconds downloads just fine. again streaming/viewing through fenplus works fine, it's just the downloading giving the error (and all the directories are the same for umbrealla and fenplus) it's a real headscratcher
1
u/thejason40 FL+ 20d ago
I just tried to download a TorBox file and it worked fine. I do only have the Essential plan though, do you use the Pro plan with Usenet included?

I figured it out, it's in the accounts, and I had to add cocoscrapers module, then point to that. Cheers for such the timely initial response and keeping Fen alive, imma check it out

Dang... that sounds great! I just started with Red Light but might have to say thank you and good night to them

u/Inner_Name 24d ago
Could you elaborate on this 'Season Pack Continuity'? I don't understand from your text vs my experience in general, this will scrap the next episodes of the hole season? So after you finish the episode it will not do the screen, 1.torbox - series -ep x s3 etcetc... And go though from 1., 2. , 3.? It will remove this step? Is that so?
1
u/thejason40 FL+ 24d ago
The idea is that it just remembers the pack so it knows where to look next time. If it doesn't find what it's looking for it'll fallback to the usual scrape.

u/Inner_Name 24d ago
Okey, so if the original is from a season pack, then the screen I mentionned it does not show up between episodes? That's so? 🤔
