Kodi & Addons Loading links/Not Playing

Thanks triple 7, just cleared it and will check tomorrow on what that does.

If you haven’t yet, go into the addon that isn’t working correctly, in tools>clear packages and clear cache, then close out of the addon and kodi. For good measure turn off device for a couple minutes then retry.

Hey Triple 7 cleared R-D but Twilight and Umbrella still didn’t work. And, thanks howsitdo I will try your idea this evening. I was also thinking about installing another addon to determine if it will work.

Howsitdo gave some great advice by going into your addon and clearing the cache followed up by closing it and then rebooting your device.
Were I you, I’d also reboot my modem and or router. They too can get quite congested.

I have used Fen then Fenlight after he shut down Fen for 4 years and Fenlight has been phenomenal.
Coalition, The Lab, Infinity have been working great as well and are fast. Umbrella has a simple layout and use it as a backup. Yours not loading has to be something minor.
I would even go as far as uninstalling and reinstalling it if all else fails.

Pray all works out for ya Monroe

Hi to all that have been giving me advice. So far nothing has worked, so today I installed Troy’s 21.1 fork and Umbrella, Twilight, and the Crew are working. I had unloaded and reloaded Kodi once before and it worked for a while also.
I plan on unloading and reloading regular Kodi and setting it up as well. My next step is to try a new Android TV box and compare that with my T95Z. At least for now I have TV again that works! yea.

When I search for links to a movie or TV show, all the links are uncached. Yes, I’ve gone into my Real Debrid settings and have selected cached links only. I’ve tried different builds with the same results. Anyone have a solution??

Are you using kodi? If so what addon?

It’s an older thread but should still be useful.

Check your RD subscription. It may have expired.

Don’t use a build and you’ll have more control over your add-ons. Did you adjust both your ResolveURL settings and your addon settings? In the ResolveURL settings (where you authorize your Real Debrid account) you can choose cached torrents only. Make sure to click the okay button when done so it sticks. However, if your RD account is expired or your account needs to be re-authorized then your addon may be setup to scrape for uncached torrents if no cached ones are found. You can prevent this by changing your addon scrape settings and remove all uncached results from the list.

Great advice all the way around…

Stupid me. Real Debrid had expired. All is good now.

We overthink things sometimes.

You aren’t the first and won’t be the last that makes that mistake.

The Build i use has the Account Manager addon and it reminds me when RD is within 2 weeks of expiration. It also synchs my RD and Trakt with all my addons.

Its in the 7of9 repo if you are interested. You don’t need a build to use it.

Everything in Kodi suddenly quit working.
Fen-Light, Umbrella. Debrid active, did the routine cleanup restart. Did an uninstall - install. Same. Addons are absolutely dead, Nothing is responding.
Onn 3 K Pro. Hard lined in. Tried WiFi, nothing.

Just tested Fen Light and Umbrella and both are working for me. Tested both my Nvidia and Onn Pro.

Also, even though your debrid account says its authorized it may still be expired on their side.

Check your RD account otherwise i am not sure of the problem.

I installed and reinstalled three times and all is working.
I suspect two things. My ISP and or my Onn 4k Pro device.
My older Onn 4k has worked flawlessly with the same Kodi Setup. I just use less apps/addons on that device due to limited memory using my USB.
I’m managing my memory rather well, so I know the problems aren’t that. I keep things clean daily making sure to close all my apps and clear caches nightly.
My real-debid subscription is always maintained an extra 6 month subscription. My addons Fen-Light, The Lab, Umbrella have worked flawlessly. I keep them maintained as well.
So when I do have issues, it comes down to two things, is my ISP throttling me or am I having to regularly reset my device every 6 months when this appears to pop up.
Not sure. My Surf-Shark is good for three years, so I know I’m protected there.

Hi there

I’ve installed Umbrella and Fenlite add-ons both on my dad’s firestick and mine, following Troys instructions.

My dad’s working perfectly but mine isn’t. Crew works fine, but Umbrella and Fenlite don’t. Have checked external scraper (both Coco) and authorised my AllDebrid (which is active). My dad uses Real Debrid, so I even tried it on his account. Still no joy!

Both add-ons find lots of streams but just won’t play. I uninstalled and installed Kodi again, but still no joy.

Am not using a VPN, but neither is dad.

Can you help please?

welcome

Are your Debrid subscriptions current? If not I can’t think of anything else as long as you followed the instructions to the T. I have been using Umbrella daily for months

Not sure how experienced you are with kodi but just making sure you are authorizing each addon individually. Unless you are using Account Manager or something similar.

And Welcome to TroyPoint!
