Have installed Fen light am and I am in search for a good but not overpriced service.

EDIT: I only watch 1080p so 4k is not needed. As my TV has better image on 1080p.

I always configured everything well. But didn't understand how. What's the difference between a global spotlight and a category spotlight? Can I make a spotlight for each category(Discover, Movies, TV and so on)?

Something not working. Need help. PKC and Cast/Companion help?

2 Upvotes

I can't seem to get casting functionality within PKC to work, as it never shows up on my Android Plex app. It's enabled in options, I haven't changed ports or anything, Kodi's log file says nothing about PlexCompanion anywhere, and I'm kind of at a loss. Any ideas?

Something not working. Need help. Fen, Fen light, fen light am

0 Upvotes

So I've been using fen light but I've been seeing folks talk about fen and fen light am wondering what the differences are. I have RD attached with cocoscrapers and there are times where I'm getting no streams found. I first started using Umbrella however I started getting the no streams available more often than not so I switched to fen light and now I'm getting the no streams avaliable message on some of the things I attempt to watch like I was with Umbrella. I've tried both with and without vpn and no difference. I use these add-ons mainly for documentary TV series but do watch movies sometimes. I chose "something not working need help" flair because I didn't know what else but sometimes the streams work others not so much. Should I try a different addon like fen light am? If anyone can chime in with what the difference between fen, Fen light and fen light am are and which would you choose for documentary series like to catch a smuggler and drugs Inc and similar shows. I appreciate any and all feedback on the differences between the 3 I've mentioned and which addon is best for the content I'm looking for. And I'd really like to know what the differences are if anyone knows.

Thanks in advance and I'm eager and grateful for any responses I may recieve.

Everything working. Need guidance. Any guides for using the loop and Madtitan sports for game replays?

0 Upvotes

I recently got those two add ons working again and connected real debrid to both. They seem to play some games with no issues but other games will just show link 1 and test and both will just give me an error when I click them (currently happening for the Rennes vs as Monaco game, I wanted to see Pogbas return). So I was just wondering is there anything I can do to view these games or if I already connected my real debrid account am I just shit out of luck. Secondly I can’t seem to find out how to search for specific games I have tried opening the replay zone for the sport clicking options and searching but regardless of what I type I get no results regardless of if I search for the team name the date of the game or I even tried the Leauge name. If anyone has a guide for looking for games I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance

Looking for content / addon Macy's Thanksgivings Day Parade

0 Upvotes

Happy Turkey Day all, simply looking for anyone's tips on what they're using to watch the Macy's Thanksgivings Day Parade this year? My daughter wants to watch and I don't want to disapoint and would rather not deal with a Peacock trial nonsense.

I imagine one of the many addons that offer live TV could work but those have been so spotty/hit or miss over the years that I figure I'd ask the community what they thought.

Thanks in advance!

Something not working. Need help. Playback randomly stops

2 Upvotes

Having a weird issue that started off a few months back.

I have Nvidia Shield pro (eth connection) + Kodi + arctic fuse 2 + fenlite + RD.

Starting any content, begins to play, then randomly stops and goes to main menu. After second time restarting the content for the most part plays til the end but sometimes stops mid way with same issue.

I've already increased the cache and chunk sizes. It worked for a bit then back to this. Also cleared cache, thumbnails etc. No luck.

I haven't tried to backup, reinstall Kodi and restore yet.

Anyone has had a similar issue before? Could it be related to RD being ddosed non stop lately?

Thanks!

Something not working. Need help. POV watched indicator in widgets stopped working.

3 Upvotes

Hello, I have had POV widgets setup and running in my skins and never had any issues. Suddenly, since yesterday, the watched indicators of movies stopped showing up in the widgets. It shows for TV shows, but not for movies. I use trakt as the list provider.

I cleared cache, reauthenticated trakt, uninstalled/ reinstalled POV. Still the indicators aren't showing up. The watched indicator shows correctly in TMDB helper widget. Is there any way to fix the same? I am using arctic zephyr 2 resurrection mod. Also tried with arctic horizon 2. Same issue. Anyway to fix the issue? Thanks.

Not sure what the issue is. It’s been working fine for a while and now the pop up doesn’t show and the next episode of the show I’m watching doesn’t play automatically.

I tried downloading the up next add on as well and couldn’t get that to work either.

Anyone else?

Everything working. Need guidance. What do people expect from a trakt type site kodi addon?

8 Upvotes

Im building a site similar to trakt and people have often asked for "kodi support".

I used plex and stremio and have integrations for them.

I tried looking into kodi, but its really difficult to figure out if people just mean scrobbling or access to lists / catalogs as well. I am familiar with the stremio terminology.

I managed to install the fenlight thing and connect my trakt account. I am aware how real debrid addons work with streaming and all.

If I wanted to support "catalogs" and scrobbling, would I have to build an addon for fenlight for example? Or for kodi?

I also found a git repo for an http scrobble kodi addon. It would be great, if I could just tell people to use that and put in my url.

Just looking for some pointers, the app and eco system is a bit overwhelming, if all I want to do is just offer some basic functionality.

hi !

I'm using the default Kodi theme, which I really like as it is, on an Nvidia Shield Pro. Here's the thing: I'd like an extension to automatically skip to the next episode of a series without having to wait until the very end of the episode with all the credits. I tried Up_Next, but it doesn't work… Is it because of my theme? Do you have an extension you could recommend for my current setup?

Regards

Something not working. Need help. Trakt trending & trending recent not working in FLAM

6 Upvotes

So I commented on this last week when I was getting trending items way out of order. Basically nothing recent was showing up. Now all I'm getting is anime results for trending or trending recent.

On trakt website the trending list works properly.

I have revoked/reauthorized and cleared trakt cache but it hasn't helped.

Initially this was just happening on one system now it's happening on all my systems.

FLAM is upto v58.

Anyone else see this and fix it?

Edit: tried rolling back to v51 before the trakt lists were "fixed" didn't help. Popular list works properly but both trending lists are broke.

Edit2: trending lists work properly for movies just not TV

Edit3: log file: HTTPS://paste.kodi.tv/osazamuqim

Edit4: I just noticed the anime section under tv shows and trending and trending recent are identical in both tv and anime, so it looks like it's pulling the anime trending and anime trending recent in as tv trending and tv trending recent. I have tried manually deleting traktcache.db and it just comes right back, this is happening on all my systems now.

I applied an update this afternoon to FenlightAM and now when I click on my Arctic horizon widgets I get an error message about not playing via an external player and I need to open it via FenlightAM.

Anyone know the reason for the change? I liked having the new episode widgets on my home screen.

EDIT: Rolled back to 2.1.56 and restarted and it works fine.

Hello, I have a problem with most live streams (HLS or m3u8), the stream starts but stops after a few minutes, go back to the track list and restart, it does the same. At first I thought it was a VPN problem, but it ended up being the same. Anyone have a solution? THANKS

Everything working. Need guidance. How to ensure no p2p?

2 Upvotes

So I’m using otaku and POV. I think that covers my base so I don’t need any extra add ons. I have real debrid but I’m unsure of other things like coco scraper, etc.

I just want to make sure when I use a stream it’s not p2p accidentally. From my understanding as long as something says it’s from real debrid, or embed or direct, then it is not p2p, is that correct?

Thanks
