What is magnet Torrent link

after having issues with kodi I went onto troy fork with the diggz programme as recommended. worked fine watching certain progs with lots if sources, now however it still comes up with the sources but when i try to load one, instead of starting buffering as before it comes up with resolve magnet link! then after a while stops and says basically source failed. anyone know what magnet link is.its obviously stopping loading and something is trying to resolve it but not working. any ideas. thanks all.ps tried different troy forks and removing reloading etc.

thanks but non the wiser. still doesnt explain why it says resolve magnet link and whats supposed to happen.all it does is sit there. when opening files the bar usually goes across as it buffers. with the magnet link it doesnt move failed.

Are you adding the magnet link in a Bit Torrent Client?

no i am not doing anything.originally I clicked on the programme i wanted to watch.it came up with a list of providers (according to troypoint the top one being the most viable etc.) I would click on that and sometimes have to go down 2 or 3 providers before one worked which would then go through buffering till 100% and then start playing. now everyone i click on doesnt start buffering and simply shows a box at the top which says resolve magnet link. it stays like that for a couple of minutes then says playback failed.thanks

I don’t use Kodi, but if you read the link I provided you will see how to use a magnet link. I think you can use a Magnet link with the VLC player if you have it installed in Kodi. But don’t quote me on that.

When you resolve a magent . That’s the linkits giving. It’s in your rd or ad service
