Hello, this is just a mega topic to get all your kodi info.
Please make sure to follow all of troypoints guides on kodi. I will have some references here.
Biggest thing to remember is your kodi version and the build/addon you want. Make sure they are compatible. 19+ is the matrix stable Make sure your build or addon is updated for that version.
With seren make sure you are going through the guide entirely.
Here are most common problems people are having troubles.
Using a VPN not compatible with Real-Debrid. If you’re using IPVanish VPN, you have nothing to worry about as it’s 100% compatible with Real-Debrid.
When configuring the Seren add-on, you aren’t taking the extra step to install the necessary scraper. You must read the entire Seren guide…all of it.
You’re making a mistake when typing in one of the addresses for either the Seren addon itself or the scraper. Take your time and double check your spelling. One wrong character in either of those addresses and this won’t work.
Your Real-Debrid account has expired. Keep in mind, you must have a premium account for this to work properly and they don’t notify you when your account has expired.
This as been addressed in the advisor as well.
Will update as more guides are available.
This should be all you need for kodi, that resources guide has everything. I wanted to make a all in one topic on this to help everyone. Remember to take your time with setup.
I have Sling, Weyd, Syncler and Stremio on my ONN 4k Pro and they are playing awesomely.
I also have my Kodi build using Umbrella, Coalition and Crew.
I’m a bit confused that Sling, Stremio, Weyd & Syncler flawlessly plays 4k-1080 & 720 programming. However in Kodi, I can only play the 720 & SD or I experience lagging and buffering.
I don’t understand how I can play the links with higher resolution with my Apps, but not my Kodi Addons?!
Hmmm…Not sure what issue you are having with KODI and 4K. I have been using Umbrella and The Crew for several months and both play 4K streams. Go into your setting and make sure you didn’t disable 4K stream sources
I clean everything out daily and reboot my device.
I’ve revoked then reauthorized Trakt & Premiumize and my Surfshark is always running.
I can’t even play the lowest 4k links or 1080 links in either Umbrella, Crew or Coalition and they play great with the 780 links. Otherwise they buffer & lag terribly.
My 4k & 1080 are authorized in my addon settings?
What puzzles me is they play well in Syncler, Stremio and Weyd…
My Onn 4k Pro device is tethered to the Ethernet. I actually get better speeds tethered than I do WiFi… I’m also getting 100 Mbps uploads -and- 15 Mbps downloads using my Analiti and Home Telecom testers.
I pay for 300 Mbps thru xfinity, but was not getting anything close to that until IPVanish support and I tried EVERYTHING to get it close. Again, this is IPVanish, but until we used the split-tunneling option (which I never thot I needed to use), it came up to high 300-400 Mbps more than I pay for.
Just to clarify also, my Onn box is connected via ethernet.
You should only use Split Tunneling if you arent concerned with your ISP seeing what you are watching. You are just bypassing the vpn for those selected apps. Which is why the speeds are better.
Using on your Prime Video or Netflix accounts, for example, dont need a vpn. But using a vpn on iptv, kodi or stremio is recommended but not required. But your isp can see your viwed links. But they may be encrypted by some providers.
Bottom line, if you split tunnel all your apps you dont need a vpn anyway.
I was referring to @BillyWilliam about using the Split Tunnel . It sounded like he split tunneled apps to get quicker speed but he really is only getting regular isp speed with the apps not connected to the vpn. The vpn apps still get the reduced speed.
