I have a question I been using incursion and it stopped working so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it then it was giving me a message saying it s not connecting to repository when I would do install from repository after installing from zip, so I cleared all my add-ons off my Kodi box raspberry pi v There has been a recent Amazon Fire software update that seems to have broken video player options: such as skip, Fast-forward, and bookmark resume.
If attempting to use some of these options the player will freeze and home is the only way to get a response. This is affecting multiple players. I have attempted a refresh or Is this a known is? Hi David, that certainly sounds like a strange issue. Hi, i just installed Kodi on my Xbox One S. The app runs, I can index media off an NFS share but nothing will play.
Any suggestions? Every time I switch Kodi back on it says preparing for first run. Any suggestions on what I should try to do? Hi Nomi. Hi, I have a problem with getting the source to play. I have a Trakt Account and can find all my collection.
However, when I ask for sources to playback, it find lots but when I choose one it tries to get the source, then it spends then next few minutes going through all of the sources after the one I chose and never playing one.
I would be grateful if you could help me sort this problem. I am currently using a durex build with some add ons like tv zion, cinema, terrarium, all are having same issue. Can you advise on fixing the problem…thanks. If not, I can take a look at your debug log to see if that gives us any clues. Is this a known issue or isolated to just me for some reason? Please help! Hi Dan, roughly how many builds have you tried? Kodi builds are notoriously unreliable, which is part of the reason why we recommend avoiding them.
Sorry to piggyback on your comment but i couldnt find a way to comment myself. I have been having a problem with kodi for almost a week now.
It opens up fine I click on an addon and the the circle just keeps spinning spinning and nothing happens. I even tried loading kodi 18 and still having the same issue. Please help if you can. Hope this helps! Thanks Ian for the fast response. I found that the issue was the internet box I had to reset it a few times and got it going.
Now onto a whole new issue I was watching a movie and then all of a sudden my firestick reset. When it came back on Kodi wouldnt load anymore. I tried reinstalling 18 and it just goes to the open page and then either goes black or just jumps me back to the home page.
Thanks for the speedy response! Could you talk me through how to send you my debug log? Thank you so much! Once you find it, you can either paste the contents into pastebin, or upload the whole file to Dropbox, Google Drive, or a similar service. One thing, though: this is a public forum so make sure the link only provides access to this one file, not a folder or anything like that.
Hi Dan, no problem! As far as I know, Exodus has been out of action for a while, although forks do pop up from time to time. Then, trigger the error: in this case, by playing a video. Finally, grab the pastebin link and leave it in a reply for me. I installed the log viewer for kodi addon, I cannot open newer movies at all. Hi Ian, I have stumbled across your article in an attempt to solve an issue I am having with my Exodus and Exodus Redux addons on Kodi Hi Elisha, Exodus and its many newer variations go down or change address all the time.
Hi Ian, I am brand new to Kodi, but I think installed and configured everything correctly. I can search and find the movies that I searched. I can also save them to favorites and they show up in favorities. Here is the problem: when I hit play, nothing happens. I am running Kodi from a Fire TV stick thing. Hey Brooks, this could be happening for a number of reasons.
First, does this happen with one specific addon or several? Have you tried testing some from the official Kodi repo? If not, a VPN can help. You may also want to consider a reinstallation — sometimes things just go wrong, and this helps resolve problems pretty frequently. Thank you so much for your response. Is there a Kodi tutorial or user guide that you can recommend? I think I installed addons from the official Kodi repo and they work. But I am not sure how to get a movie addon from the Kodi repo.
When I go to addons, all the ones I installed show up. Yoda and Indigo were the only addons I had until I added some per your suggestion. I assumed they were installed when I installed Kodi. In any event, Yoda is the one I used to search for new movies. Is that correct or should I be using another movie addon?
Also, are there addons for live tv? No problem! Whenever you want to watch something, you have to go into your chosen addon and search for it. I recently completed the recommended update that came available on October 16th for my xbmx media box. This has never happened with any recommended update before, any ideas. I am using Kodi on windows laptop. Kodi stop working after couple of minutes every time. At the same time it works perfect for live streaming.
Any help is highly appreciated. That should fix this issue. I recently tried to watch the BBC iplayer livestream and it did not work. Check the log for more information about this message. I also use a VPN. I run Kodi Quite a few have difficulty unblocking the iPlayer. Also, can you check and see if the addon has any available updates?
It worked before I did the suggested update.. Just uninstall and download the correct version here:. Trying to install no limits, but I have no idea what the deal is. Did a fresh install. After it installs and i put kodi on nothing happens.
I go to install from zip file again but there is nothing there. Its like it never downloaded it. I have the newest version of Kodi on my Nvidia shield. I have downloaded 1 million repositories but I cannot get them into my files to where Kodi realizes it has anything in it.
So I can turn Kodi on, jack with repositories and files for as long as I decide to, then turn it off. That is all that I can do. To add a repository, you just go to Add-ons, then click the box icon in the top left, then hit Install from zip file and browse to wherever you saved the repo. Any other repo installation should work the exact same way. Can you see if this works? Some flashed up an icon like the no limits wizard did. They were all repos I was able to find within Kodi.
Can you click on root filesystem and see if you can navigate your way to the downloads folder from there? Just external storage, fusion add-on, network file system, root file sys, zeroconf browser. Kodi actually only comes with one repo installed — the official Kodi repo.
Hi Andrew, definately a strange issue. Also, you installed No Limits, then reinstalled Kodi? Was there something wrong with it? Tried jarvis v16 , krypton v17 to see if it is the kodi program the problem. But all the same problem. If so, try going into the settings menu and seeing if there are any options other than Confluence. Have you tried installing No Limits, then shutting Kodi down using the power options menu, instead of unplugging it? Usually, they come with all kinds of unofficial addons pre-installed, and they make troubleshooting quite a bit more difficult.
I dont understand? Everytime is the same , i deleted and when i reinstall it , i open it and after 10 secs again stuck, dont give you even time to go to settings or to add the source.
Hi, is it a Windows laptop? If so, we can take a look at the log file. If you copy and paste this into pastebin. Thanks for the tip about the addons. Mine was names addons All other articles or videos I look at to resolve this just said to clear the data and then then start reinstalling after Kodi launches.
Whentrying to instal an addon, when i try to open source, i get a message — remote share — network not connected. Would like toknow how to correct it. Hello Ian my Kodi recently disappeared and i had the guy who i bought it from reinstalled it.
Now I cant watch movies with Kodi. I click on the movie link and it loads but stop at the screen that say files. Hi Victoria, can I ask — is this when playing files stored on your computer or when using an addon? Hi Chuck, sometimes renaming your workgroup solves this problem, as does restarting Kodi. I installed IPVanish from the amazon app store onto the 3rd gen firestick and it connected as expected.
Apps like BBCiplayer, firefox, youtube worked. But when I installed kodi, the stick crashed- lost wifi connection; said the signal was out of range. I rebooted router, tried to restart the stick, to no avail. I can click launch an app eg ipvanish, but there is no internet connection. All I could do was factory reset the stick.
I tried this a few times; same each time. It seems like the stick cant have streaming eg Kodi and vpn installed at the same time.
I tried clearing the stick data and cache as you say below, to no effect. My broadband provider say they do not interfere with vpn. Also, do you have any addons installed or is a fresh installation? Good morning. I have Dream Online 2 on my box, and it will not load anymore.
Keeps saying portal not available. Have you come across this issue before? Hi John, it sounds to me as though the service may have moved or gone offline. Can you check the error log and see what it says? I am unable to watch tv shows but I am able to watch movies. When I select a tv show, no sources load.
No matter the addon, its the same issue. I have no clue at this point. Can you try looking for a small hole on the back or side of your box? You may be able to reset it by inserting a paperclip and holding for a few seconds. Hi Eric, there are a couple of things that could be causing this.
Sometimes, the black screen error is caused by improper shutdown, and flushing the cache might get you back to normal. Hi Gregor, could you try loading a TV show and check the error log after? There should be some indication of the problem in there. So I am having trouble downloading add ons on kodi. Usually this is only an issue if the addon has been taken down. As of today aug 8 i came home and exodus genesis reborn and neptune wont search anything..
Any search menu just stays on the search screen of each addon. I was using it last night and now completely busted, is there an easy fix? Im on a pc with vpn running. If so, can you check your error log and see if anything stands out?
I have added addons to my Kodi This has happened with several addons that appear to be currently working. Hi David, can you check your error log and see if anything stands out? If you upload the log to pastebin.
And if it dose it will stop after a few and thin go back to the links and I have to start all over. How do I fix this? I have turned screen saver off turned off the advanced stuff in the settings that this page said to do. I also cleaned out the cashe. Hi Amanda, would you mind uploading your debug log so I can take a closer look and hopefully find the issue? I uninstalled the old version and installed the new one. I also emptied the cache on my mac..
I click on the icon and nothing happens. Hi Christina, are you on Windows? Unfortunately the only option is to wait for a patch. After the recent update the app will freeze up with 20 seconds no matter what build is installed. No this Xbox one can not berolled back to before the update. If there abuild that works without freezing or another work around for the Xbox one kodi build?
Ive had it for months and it worked just fine until the latest update. What gives? Sadly, for the time being, we just have to wait for a patch. If we were change the settings to advanced or expert would that allow us to tweak the settings to roll back to an older version or at least make Hey Greg, it seems as though the software update has broken things on Xbox, so there really is nothing we can do for the time being.
Wish I had better news, Ian. Just started after latest update. Hello Ian How are you? After startup and opens up Durex minutes after freezup. I can even do what you are showing and explaining. If you can help me I appreciate. Is something wrong with the new alpha 3 update for Kodi 18 on the xbox? I thought of that as well… I was first using duff then I switched to xenon and on the other xbox I have Stevenwizard, none of which work now.
I think I might just have to buy a fire tv…. If you do decide to get a Fire TV and have any issues with it, just leave a comment. Can you try installing a version of Kodi 17 instead? Also, does this happen without Durex installed? I have the latest Kodi and using the Durex Build.
Everything was fine for a while, but recently it started acting up. Now when I watch some it plays for a while and then it boots me out. It did this multiple while watching a movie. Would you mind uploading it to a site like pastebin. Hey thank you for taking the time to write this guide! When trying to skip forward or back during playback via the mouse wheel it skips many minutes ahead or behind instead of the 10 seconds I have it set for. It also crashes randomly. A non random crash though is when using Cinema Vision, it works great but when it goes to play the the actual movie file Kodi crashes.
Windows 7 Kodi As for your other issues, can you trigger a crash and upload the debug log to a site like pastebin. Hey Sat, Android can be a little funny when it comes to external hard drives.
Can you check all of your storage and see if your drive has perhaps just been given a new name? Hope you can help. I have Kodi on windows computer. Using V Everything installed and ran fine. Today I installed a July Build and again it installed with no problems but no video will load.
I rebooted a couple of times. When I click on a movie the Sources will populate 10,15, 20 suppliers showing that there are say 10 with the requested video. None of these sources will load. I found my way to the Log but I might as well have been in Chine since the information there was meaningless to me. An suggestions short of reinstalling everything. This applies to both short and lengthy videos. Buffering is not a problem since I hav lots of cashe memory.
Hi Harold, I know what you mean about the error log! Can you paste the full error log into pastebin. Hey I just wondering if you can help me. I have a problem with kodi everytime I place a build on Kodi, it keeps closing down. No matter what way I install the build it closes it.
Its quite annoying as the box is brand new. Many thanks. Can you intentionally cause the error, then upload your error log to pastebin? Kodi 18 is very new, have you tried installing Kodi 17 instead?
I have installed NoLimits Magic as my build. However, this issue has been with different builds I believe and maybe even just a native version of Kodi. Anyway, if I download a. I can access this via WiFi or cat 6 cable, which is how the Shield is wired.
My question is this -I only use the computer to download the file. The thumbnail next to the title is a blank rectangle. But once I play it briefly, it will play fine in Kodi. Hey Orion16, this is a weird but intriguing problem. You have a pretty complex network here, so I may not be able to help. Can you check the error log for me? So what happens is that I see the movie list in Kodi. Blank thumb nail as well.
I only let it play for a second or two. Also, if you could trigger the error and paste the error log into pastebin. That is actually really good news! Kodi can be a bit fiddly at the best of times so removing it as a potential cause is huge. So… downloaded another mkv file of a TV show.
Tried to watch it on my iPad using PlayerXtreme and it said unsupported file — same as on Shield with Kodi. Played 1sec of the files on my Windows 10 PC and closed it.
It now plays fine on both PlayerXtreme and Shield with Kodi. Any thoughts on what is going on? Hi my firestick was working well but its not letting me see any the movies i click on the most recent trending once then i click to see some old once and it doesnt let me see them either what can i do for i can be able to see my movies can you send me the steps as well please.
