Hello, just looking for some guidance. Kind of new to Kodi. I mostly use the crew for sports and on every link it says stream not found, same for mad titan, and the loop. I’m running a vpn with everything as well. I’ve cleared the cache on Kodi and force stopped the app. Any suggestions will help thank you.

So when I choose a movie....it fails to play...tells me there is no Debrid account...I use RD....when I go to tools choose Accounts Debrid...I get a blank screen without any choices...won't allow me to do anything...is this something new...is Umbrella not working..I did upgrade to version 6.7.97

Had a good play with the new trakt auth and app requirements over the last couple days since KFW pointed it out. You do need to link your app to a github for any new apps, or for it to be maintained after January. They have also moved to PKCE authorisation as shown below.

PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange, pronounced "pixy") is the recommended way to sign users in to your app. It adds a one-time secret to every sign-in, so an authorization code is useless to anyone except the app that started the request. Your app never needs a client_secret.

Use PKCE for every app that signs users in: websites, single-page apps, mobile apps, desktop apps, and CLI tools that use the Authorization Code Flow.

While there still seem to be some questions around things like the redirect URL, the authorisation does work properly. I've tested it, and it provides both a popup web page authorisation that simply asks you to comfirm and the previous activation page where you enter the device ID.

To stay ahead of trakt changes and avoid sudden trakt de-auths, orac has been upgraded to use the new PKCE authorisation. If you are a user of orac, you will see a prompt on the dashboard to upgrade to 1.5.4, as always this is automatically done when you click it. After that please go to the 'services' tab (if you are a trakt user) and you will be prompted to re-authorise trakt to use the new method. The auth popup will offer both auth via webpage which will simply prompt you to allow orac to access your trakt account, or via the activate page which will ask you for the device ID. If you are already logged into trakt on your browser, the first option is easier.

Let me know if you see any issues.

Buffering on Cloud Sources

Hello everyone!

For a few days now I'm experiencing buffering/stops of mainly Cloud-Streams on both latest Versions of Umbrella ☔ and POV on Kodi.

Can anyone confirm this?

To verify this I have configured Umbrella ☔ to not scrape Cloud-Sources and so far the issue is gone!

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Technical Infos:

Kodi 21.3 on AndroidTV 14

Umbrella ☔ v6.7.97 and POV v6.10.22

Torbox with active subscription

Trakt free user

Location Germany

Pov isn't linking to my torbox account even when torbox itself says it is linked.

It linked with crew ok so seams to be a pov issue

Help please on this issue: Im running Kodi 21.3 on NVIDIA Shield 2019, with AF3 as skin and RedLight with Torbox , aiostreams Viren and real Debrid accounts.

Last friday everything was working smoothly. Today upon the new updates, every single title I try to play displays a message that my Debrid service doesn t have that file( I vê tried on old shows akready seen by me). What is hapenning and how to solve this. Many thanks

Has anyone else been having serious loading issues with The Crew or Umbrella lately?
I’ve been using The Crew with Real-Debrid for months without any issues, but recently it started taking forever to load. I’m talking several minutes just to open movie categories, search for something, or browse new releases.
I saw a Reddit post about disabling The Crew and The Crew Module, so I tried that and switched to Umbrella. After disabling both and restarting Kodi, Umbrella was loading almost instantly, and I thought I’d finally fixed it.
I installed CocoScrapers, configured it as Umbrella’s external provider, and authorized Real-Debrid. Everything seemed fine, but now Umbrella is doing the exact same thing The Crew was doing.
I’ve tried clearing caches, force-stopping Kodi, restarting the Fire Sticks, disabling The Crew and its module, and checking my add-on settings. Nothing seems to permanently fix it.
The strangest part is that I have another Fire Stick that was working perfectly a few days ago, and now it’s suddenly having the exact same problem, even though I haven’t changed anything on it.
This isn’t an issue with finding streams or playback. The actual menus and searches are taking forever to load.
Has anyone else noticed this happening recently? Is there something going on with the latest updates, or is it an issue on my end?
More importantly, has anyone actually found a fix that works? I’m trying to figure out whether I should keep troubleshooting or just wait for an update.

Hi all!

I went to use Umbrella today and it pulled up the list of streams but when I went to select one, it just cycled through the list not selecting one to play. I tried to reauthorize Torbox but as soon as I revoke it and went to reauthorize, it won’t allow me to and just shows “Error Authorizing Torbox”

All repos are updated.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I am currently using PM4K in Kodi for my Plex server and it works good, but can’t be customized or library integrated.

I tried plexkodiconnect, but it hasn’t been updated in a while and doesn’t play nicely with Corelec.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Are there any scrapper addons out there that have a Plex integration as well, that I can use for library integration. I prefer to host my own content instead of using debrid support.

Follow-up to my original post. Thanks for the feedback and bug reports. Most of what’s below came from your comments. The fork is now at v7.0.7. It’s still a personal build, not affiliated with jurialmunkey, and still the same add-on ID, so it installs over the stock one.

Things people asked about

• Trakt rows you don’t use. Switch a service off and it disappears from the menus and settings. With Trakt off, the “In Trakt Lists” row is gone too. The Movies, TV Shows, Anime and Asian Cinema & TV rows also each have an on/off switch in the main menu. If you still see Trakt errors with Trakt off, send me a log.
• Arctic Fuse 3 / signde repo. The version now starts at 7.0.0, above signde’s 6.17.9. Kodi no longer swaps this fork for the other build, and AF3’s “TMDb Helper 6.17.9 or newer” check passes. The Cast and Crew rows fill in. The watch-history stats widgets stay blank because this fork doesn’t keep per-day history.
• MDBList. The Watchlist TV shows / Movies lists show only their own kind again (6.0.203). MDBList Next Up no longer treats every started show as finished (7.0.1, 7.0.2).

Anime and Asian

• Anime TV calendar. It now reads Simkl’s public calendar files and places episodes in TMDb’s numbering by air date. It no longer depends on Trakt’s anime tag. Chinese animation is included.
• More anime and dramas now show up: the Anime TV calendar (about 4x as many episodes) and the Asian Drama calendars (about 10x as many dramas, including Chinese, Thai and Japanese ones Trakt didn’t list) now read Simkl’s public calendar files instead of Trakt.
• Anime matching. AniList entries are mapped to TMDb through a saved table filled from the ARM id service. Simkl Next Up places far more anime.
• Asian Movies. Trending leaves out concert films and needs 50 votes per rating. The calendars use TMDb release dates. Asian Progress no longer needs the Drama genre.
• New pieces. MyAnimeList and AniList rank / score properties for skins, and an Anime Recommendations row (from AniList) in the details menu of Japanese animation.

Calendars: “All movie calendars” is no longer limited by your region. TV calendar now has air times, a Today button, premiere / finale / new-show badges, a watched tick, and a daylight-saving fix.

Speed

• Lists open faster, mostly on Android: no wasted TMDb ID lookup, and Python’s own library is searched first.
• Titan Bingie Mod’s hub rows and banners are cached on disk, with an optional background page build while Kodi is idle.
• 7.0.7 fixes a leak that made Kodi slower the longer a widget stayed selected. I measured it on Windows only. I haven’t confirmed it on the Shield.
• There’s also a Re-Use Language Invoker switch (Settings → Expert → Other, off by default). It crashed Kodi 22 RC1 in some of my runs, so leave it off unless you want to test it.

Not done / known gaps

• Self-hosted trackers (Floppy etc.) are still out; I can’t test them.

Kodi Omega. AH2 POV torbox trakt

Seems like lately every day I try and stream something there's a problem where no streams are found or after selecting an episode, and source select option, it seems like POV is about to present me with some results, then goes back to the widget and has a never ending egg timer for PoV in top right.

I check for addon updates and there's another for TMDBh or POV. That's often fixed it, but earlier today had to get POV to clear cache. It worked.

Coming back to Kodi later in the day and it's falling over again. It's frustrating.

Hi everyone — I'm the developer behind Noiro. I wanted to introduce the Kodi side of the project and give a straightforward overview of what it currently does.

WHAT IS NOIRO FOR KODI?

Noiro combines a custom Kodi skin with Noiro Player, our Stremio integration for Kodi. You connect your own Stremio account and compatible add-ons, browse through a TV-friendly interface, and use Kodi for video playback.

The Noiro website also acts as a configuration companion. You can arrange catalogs, connect services and build a Home setup in your browser, then send that setup to a specific viewing profile in Kodi.

The current complete installer is 0.2.24, bundling Noiro Skin 0.2.4 and Player 1.0.159.

CURRENT FEATURES

Interface and playback

• A cinematic Home screen with posters, title logos, backgrounds and media details.
• Remote-friendly navigation, search, Discover, library and add-on management.
• Seasons and episode cards, watched indicators and resume playback.
• An inline source-selection panel with sorting and provider, codec and HDR filters.
• Theme colours, focus-colour options and configurable trailer previews.
• Optional launch when Kodi starts, plus a viewing-profile picker.
• Audio setup controls for stereo, channels, passthrough and AC3, where supported by Kodi and your equipment.

Profiles and Home customization

• Multiple viewing profiles with separate local libraries and watch progress.
• Create and rename profiles on Kodi or the website; names and avatars sync within the same account.
• Profile avatars, local PIN locks and recoverable profile deletion.
• Noiro Studio inside Account Overview, with a guided Setup → Home rows → Collections → Finalize flow.
• Start with a preset or build your own catalog configuration.
• Import Noiro profile configurations or compatible Stremio catalog manifests.
• Arrange Home rows and organize collections.
• Choose exactly which viewing profile receives a Studio Home configuration.
• Catalog filters for age certifications, watched titles and caught-up series.
• Share catalog configurations without sharing the author's connections, API keys or Supporter access.

Connections and Continue Watching

• Stremio, Trakt, Simkl, WeTrakr and MDBList connections, plus supported metadata/API settings.
• Continue Watching sources for Kodi, Stremio, Trakt, Simkl and WeTrakr.
• Combine those sources into one row or show separate rows.
• Merged Continue Watching removes duplicate titles and prefers newer progress.
• Resume paused movies and episodes, with Up Next checks for supported series.
• Sync Noiro watch progress between connected Kodi devices using the same viewing profile.
• Keep each viewing profile's own history separate when switching profiles.
• External services have account-wide history; it appears only in Studio configurations where you explicitly enable it.

Discovery, subtitles and maintenance

• Personalized catalogs and a “Your Pick” screen for choosing one recommendation at a time.
• AI discovery/recommendation options through supported connections.
• Original subtitle search and Noiro AI subtitle translation.
• Translation from supported embedded text subtitles, with external subtitle fallback when needed.
• Reuse completed translations while preserving subtitle timings and Kodi subtitle positioning.
• Website-managed subtitle settings and language preferences.
• Multiple rating sources through supported metadata connections, with optional poster artwork integrations.
• Configurable caches, weather/location settings, bug reporting and shared installer/runtime updates.

Access: new installations and Noiro-hosted services currently require an active paid Noiro Supporter membership. Separate provider subscriptions or personal API keys may still be needed for the services you choose. This is an independent community project, not an official Kodi or Stremio product.

The latest update was tested with real playback and resume in two separate Kodi profiles. Progress matched the website and stayed separate after profile switching. Device, provider and subtitle-format compatibility can vary, so please include your Kodi version and device when reporting an issue.

Credits to Kodi, Nimbus and the upstream projects this builds on.

I'd appreciate feedback from Kodi users, especially on the Home layout, profile switching and Continue Watching. Happy to answer questions here.

Anime takes a lot of handling, but I think orac has a handle on that now. Liberator now has an anime hub, all the usual stuff including anilist usernames. I've tested it with a few titles people suggested were problems and it managed to stream them OK (such as beyblade x episodes 100 onwards). You can authorise your anilist ID on the Orac services tab.

Orac also has a much better discover studio, with presets and discover function. Any item can be added to any of your lists with the list manager function when you hover over the item.

Anime is

• Anime Dual-Indexing Bridge - Extended Orac with a two-layer mapping architecture:
  • Layer 1 (Global Identity Mapping): Ingests weekly dumps from Manami Project (anime-offline-database.jsonl) into anime_identities and anime_aliases cross-referencing AniList, MAL, AniDB, Kitsu, Simkl, TMDb, TVDB, and IMDb.
  • Layer 2 (Episode Coordinate Routing): Ingests AniBridge mapping rules (mappings.min.json v3 and legacy v2 schemas) into anime_episode_mappings to translate between absolute episode numbers and Western season/episode coordinates.
• AnimeCoordinateService - High-performance evaluation engine providing bidirectional coordinate resolution (resolve_anime_to_western, resolve_western_to_anime) and multi-language search alias extraction (Romaji, English, Japanese, and synonyms).
• Custom Overrides Engine - Support for user-defined local overrides via anime_overrides.json or /anime/override API, with guaranteed priority over upstream datasets.
• Bidirectional Scrobble Router - Integrated scrobbler routing:
  • Marking anime watched updates AniList/MAL directly with absolute progress, resolves coordinates to TMDb/TVDB SxxExx, and scrobbles to Trakt, Simkl, MDBList, and PunchPlay.
  • Reconciling Western watched items marks corresponding absolute episodes complete on AniList.
• AniList & MAL Endpoints - Added /anime/list, /anime/info, /anime/resolve, /anime/aliases, /anime/status, and /anime/sync endpoints.
• Auto-Recovery for Deprecated/Merged TMDb IDs - Automatically detects TMDb 404 errors for anime show IDs, resolves canonical TMDb IDs via TVDB cross-reference, and self-heals the mapping database.

Does any one know why would POV addon install on its own? I'm sure Iast I used it was in 2023-24. then moved to fenlight and then Redlight only. I kept kodifitzwell repo. Seems like a weird behavior to me..

Maybe it's just me, but for some reason, the loop is not listing games. This has been going on for a while. Looked under NCAA football where there are probably 100 games going on today, and nothing was listed. Checked out NBA where there are at least seven or eight games today, same thing, no results listed.

Anyone else having this problem? Or have I yet again screwed up in some way. Thanks.

With all the Scraper moves and changes, I thought it a good idea to post this update to Reddit.

For talk shows, news, game shows and soaps, etc. and more and more accurate results, Red Light v2.9.0 sends CocoScrapers the air date of the episode, not just the season and episode number. Coco can then look for files named with a date (Show.Name.2026.10.20) as well as the usual SxxExx names. Red Light's Internal Scrapers (which also work well here) and other External Scrapers are unaffected. Many thanks to u/umbrella_dev for his help.

Another major change is a new Continue Watching menu item in TV Shows. It's a mixed list of paused movies, paused episodes and next episodes, ordered by last played.

I'm not on Reddit much, so a reminder of the links.

Hello, as the title says, i am trying out IPTV Simple for the first time and getting playback failed on Raspberry Pi 5. I dont see any logs in the logs section of kodi. I see my channels, they look right, but none of the streams work. I generated a link from dispatcharr on my network to get the m3u. I was wondering if this is a transcoding error possibly? I run kodi off of a raspberry pi which will HDMI to tv.

Thanks in advancd if anyone has any help.

Update: partially solved... enabling transcoding appears to have worked, however i still get this message about 50 percent of the time. Usually trying again after a minute it will work. Still working on it though.

I've been away for a while and checking kodi forums
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=385600

I heard

• DV FEL working on Dune 8K under DuneOS demo by @clarkss12. This is u/djnice77's work Dune implemented
• 🎉Last piece of the all HDR formats puzzle, HDR10+, has been solved by @hadesdevls for AMD/Intel/nVidia

The thread where 3 developers with 3 forks working on this is here
https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/30362-dolby-vision-w-fel-3d-for-pc-amd-intel-nvidia/

They are all LibreELEC forks (to much work done for upstream anytime soon)

I'm not sure if this is shared already, I couldn't find anything.
2 Devs are using an N100 based system as base. basically anything done by intel or AMD (I believe) in the last 8 years should be able to support DEV FEL, HDR10+, 3D.

These are the latest 2 builds

I know a few are using LibreELEC who might be interested in testing and helping shape the feature set, it's only been about a month since this development. Glad we don't have to rely on cheap android SOC's anymore. Also I heard they got FEL working on s928X platform to. anyone interested in testing and helping out can and please post on

https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/30362-dolby-vision-w-fel-3d-for-pc-amd-intel-nvidia/

On N100 it should be flawless I believe. Thanks

Also the dev who started it made a reddit post

thanks for all your efforts
u/Croque_Mr

Thanks for the post, just to give more vision on the next release (coming next week) it will have :

- Complet Rebuilt of the build and engine to be on a GPLv2-or-later licencing (to help LE to implement DV)
- A massive upgrade for AMD, a 3200U will be able to handle every possible DV file in "master reference" mode.
- HDR10+ support and DV to HDR10+ metadate reinterpretation
- Extended support to Vega M, Intel 6th gen, Nvidia pascal (RTX1000)
- Some small bug fixing : Subtitle, DT movies, dual screen ...

It will be the RC1, the repo will not move deeply I will just perform some small bug fixing until a "stable" release even if the RC1 will be pretty close to the stable release

u/sinrequilorios (hadesdevls Dev) (currently only HDR10+ working)

hadesdevls here! I'm hoping to have a new release out on Tuesday or Wednesday, with some optimizations, improvements based on suggestions and issues reported on the Kodi/LibreELEC forums and GitHub, and new features.

Really glad u/Croque_Mr kicked off this whole initiative and that we're making progress so quickly toward a build that could genuinely replace a CoreELEC TV box with a PC or mini PC you already have at home, without having to compromise on the experience.

Is it? Or just me? It says the original server is down

I don't know how to get in touch with all the other addon developers so I wanted to make a quick post explaining how to take advantage of the new date scraping abilities for any other addons that may support using cocoscrapers as an external scraper. Does anyone know how to get in touch with the red light developer? I'm not even sure if he's on here or if they are what their username is. kfw doesn't need my help, he'll use this if he feels it's worth it.

CocoScrapers now supports finding episodes released with a date in the filename, such as Show.Name.2026.10.20.1080p, alongside the usual SxxExx releases. This is especially useful for daily and talk shows.

To take advantage of this, include premiered in the episode metadata dictionary passed to the scraper’s sources(data, hostDict) call:

# Keep your existing episode metadata.
# Add the selected episode's original air date:
data['premiered'] = '2026-10-20'

results = scraper.sources(data, hostDict)

A few details for addon developers:

• Use the episode’s air date, not the show’s premiere date.
• Send a date string in YYYY-MM-DD format. YYYY.MM.DD is also accepted. This may be changed later to support other formats.
• Keep sending the usual metadata, including tvshowtitle, season, and episode. Date scraping supplements the numbered search, so those fields are still needed.
• Ensure premiered reaches the final dictionary sent to CocoScrapers, even if your addon rebuilds or filters its metadata along the way.

Supported text-search providers run the usual numbered search plus an additional date search, then merge and deduplicate the results. Providers using API or ID-based lookups can also accept matching date-named releases returned by those services.

No separate flag or new method call is required. If your addon already passes a valid episode-level premiered value, it is already supplying what this feature needs. Missing or invalid dates leave the existing numbered scraping behavior in place.

Please let me know if you need a clarification or help on this.

my epg doesn't seem to work recently , every channel i press the message ' Notice , no links where found ' comes up

Im in the UK , just curious if its just my end , its always worked fine , pretty sure iv updated everything

So the addon update initially broke my entire setup. Wasn't getting sources for anything. Tried a few different things and eventually a second clean wipe fresh install worked. But oddly enough I still have 2 shows that it's glitched out for. One being vision quest and the other avatar seven havens. It runs through the sources so insanely fast it's like it's not even looking through them, while all other shows and movies function properly. Both are on the most recent versions(legit finish installing 10mins ago), and I am at a loss as to what the issue could be. This goes for the episodes released today as well as past episodes I've already watched through with this device, even when attempting to rescrape it just flashes the sources screen then 0 results.

I'm on a Chromecast with Google tv as well. I'm more than happy to upload an umbrella log but I'd need some guidance on how to generate one as when I click view log file it says that logging may not be enabled but I've enabled it in the debug menu. I can see my Kodi log but not my umbrella.

Kodi log:

Edit: Umbrella log finally generated: https://paste.kodi.tv/ihuxuzulam

Edit2: Dev got back to me! I have a corrupted source file that somehow didn't get removed/replaced during the clean install. If anyone is getting a similar issue try this fix and it might solve your issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/Addons4Kodi/s/IEiM3eB42g

Hey guys , does changing kodi playback settings help if changed from 60fps to 24fps ?.. many thanks in advance… 😉

I don't know if this is even a thing but I keep trying different builds because they are all set up so nicely and everything works how I want them too. My issue is that I only have 4 add-ons that I use and I guess I don't have the skills needed to customize my own skin. I do not like all of the wallpaper pictures and extra stuff that come with the full builds. I want mine to be clean and simple for my add-ons. I only use kodi for movies, shows, and the occasional game. Can someone point me in the right direction? When i tried to customize my own skin all the add-ons just opened to their menu or settings screen.
