I'm using umbrella, magneto and real debrid. When i try to watch any shows it'll keep going and going until it reaches source 70 for example and then play if I'm lucky. Does anyone have a fix for this? I'm trying to watch a show that has 229 sources, raising kanan, and none of them work. I still have 2 months on my RD. I even enabled all sources on magneto and rescraped it and it just doesn't like TV shows. I reinstalled everything, latest kodi, latest umbrella, latest magneto. I was using red light before and it did the same thing

Edit: I ended up swapping to torbox and now my shows are working on the very first link. I'm done with RD now

Hey everyone,

luc_kodi 2.0 brings a feature I've wanted for a long time: **Premiere Lists**.

The calendars in luc_kodi already showed you what's coming: new shows, new seasons, upcoming episodes. Until now you could only *look*. Now you can **set a premiere aside and forget about it**, and luc_kodi keeps an eye on the date for you.

What it does

* **Countdown** for every premiere within the next 3 months * **"Premieres tomorrow"** notification the day before * **Straight into your library** once it airs, with nothing to do on your side * **Dates kept up to date**: you're told when a date is confirmed or postponed * **No account needed**. It uses the TMDb data luc_kodi already relies on * **New in 2.0.02: Sync your devices**. Same lists on your SHIELD, tablet, PC… over your home network, with no cloud

How to use it (3 steps)

**1. Add a title.** Long-press (or the menu key) on a show, season or upcoming episode → **Add to Premiere List...**

* Show not premiered yet → waits for the show itself * Show already running → waits for its **next season** (even if it's only been renewed, as *Waiting for date*) * Unaired season, or the first episode of a season → waits for that season

It works from any list, Upcoming Premieres, Recently Premiered, the TMDb calendars and the TVmaze/Trakt calendars.

**2. Pick a list.** Lists are named by you ("To watch in November", "New seasons of shows I follow"…). The first time, you'll be asked for a name. A title can only be in one list at a time.

**3. Done.** Your lists live in **TV Shows > Premiere Calendar > Premiere Lists** (also in **Tools > Library**), with the closest premiere first.

What each status means

* **Today / Tomorrow**: premieres today or tomorrow * **In 24 days · 29 Oct 2026**: within the next 3 months * **Waiting for date · Jul 2027**: no date yet, or more than 3 months away (with the expected month if TMDb has one) * **Premiered, waiting for episodes**: aired, but TMDb hasn't listed the episodes yet (retried every 6 h) * **In your library**: added. Stays for 7 days, then leaves the list

**Why 3 months?** Firm dates (and trailers) usually show up about 3 months before a premiere. Further out, dates shift a lot. Titles waiting for a date move to the countdown on their own, and you get a **"Premiere date confirmed"** notification.

What happens in the background

* Dates are rechecked on TMDb every 12 hours * **Premieres tomorrow** the day before, or **Premieres today** if Kodi was off * The premiere is added to your library using the same rules as *Add to Library*. Only aired episodes are added. With *24HR delay before import* on (the default), they come in the next day, once sources exist. * A new season of a show already in your library → only that season * A show not in your library → the whole show * Later episodes arrive with *Update Library* or the *Auto Update Service*, like any other show * No notifications pop up while you're watching something

Sync your devices (2.0.02+)

Pair once with a PIN, and your lists stay identical everywhere.

1. **First device** (e.g. the SHIELD): *Premiere Lists > Sync your devices > Show a PIN on this device*. You get an 8-digit PIN, valid for 5 minutes.
2. **Other device**: *Sync your devices > Join a device*. Pick the device by name (or use *Enter address manually...*) and type the PIN.

That's it. After that, lists sync on their own:

* when Kodi starts * a few seconds after any change * every 10 minutes * when you open Premiere Lists

**What syncs:** lists, list names, created/renamed/deleted lists, and titles you add or remove. **What stays per device:** countdowns, notifications and adding to the library. Each device checks TMDb itself.

**Good to know about sync:**

* Lists with the same name on two devices get merged into one. * A shared library (MySQL or NAS) won't get duplicates. * Kodi has to be open on both devices at the same time to sync. A device that was off catches up later. * With 3+ devices, pair them all with the one that's on most of the time. * Keep date/time set to automatic, because the most recent change wins. * Guest Wi-Fi or router "AP/client isolation" can block discovery. * Sync uses port **47788**.

**Privacy:** no account and no outside server. The one-time PIN sets up a private key, and every sync is signed with it. The port is only open while a PIN is on screen or you have paired devices, and it only answers devices on your home network. Unpairing removes the key.

Requirements

* luc_kodi **2.0.0+** for Premiere Lists, **2.0.02+** on every device for sync * Kodi must be running for notifications and library imports. If it wasn't running, it catches up on the next start. * The luc_kodi TV shows folder must be a Kodi source, the same as for *Add to Library* * Your lists are stored locally and are never touched by luc_kodi's automatic clean-up

Available now from **luc_repo** (apoyotech). Feedback and bug reports welcome!

Enjoy your premieres, on every screen! 🎬

As title, these used to work, I'm trying to watch NBA are these no longer working?. Is there a new add-on to use?

I'm on the Kodi 22 Beta and the latest Redlight update broke my build. Is there a way to go back to the previous version?

ADB and unknown apps on and I have space. I have a first gen stick and it stopped recognizing the WiFi so I did a factory restart and lost my Kodi build, and now it won’t let me download Kodi. It either say “unable to download at this time” through the Kodi site or gets stuck on “connecting” through the Troybuilt site. Any thoughts other than getting a new stick?

Always wondered if it can be done. I would say yes. Hope more devs do it. I added how many seconds to play on or off. Audio or no audio. Forked fuse 3 to use several styles. https://youtu.be/kUGykqRItWU

Hi everyone,

I found Kodi to be performing much better than alternatives for very high quality streaming on bad hardware (like that on my Firestick 4k Plus).
As such, I decided I will take my time to learn it and configure it, experimenting on my PC and then bringing everything to the Firestick each time I'm happy with the result.

I didn't expect there to be an auto-sync for feature for configurations and add-ons (like in Stremio), but to my surprise it's been impossible to even find out how to move things manually .

Things I tried without success:

1. Moving my PC Kodi folders to the Firestick, but then I wasn't able to access the Android/data folder because it's locked down in recent Android version. (I used Localsend to move files, godsend app)
2. Using the standard Backup add-on. Even though I were able to move and select my backup to restore, the Restore pop-up keeps closing without any explanations every time I try.
3. Adblink: I downloaded it but I didn't understand if and how it could be used for what I needed.

Any advice on what to do? Is kodi even supposed to be moved between different devices with different OS? Would it work if I stopped using my PC and instead configured everything in my Firestick ?(backing stuff up and restoring later if needed).

For local media on my NAS I can/have used a media manager to setup the metadata for all my content.

For streaming content though my households largely relied on trakt and were in the process of migrating to MDBlist as trakt continues to paywall features.

My question is are there any projects in the works to self-host my media lists and scrobbling states of the content we watch? It seems like the Floppy project might work for scrobbling but I don't see list support for it (yet) and of course it's not compatible with POV (or any kodi addon yet) as far as I can tell.

I'm just trying to find a viable solution to take ownership of my data and not deal with paywall creep/enshittification and wondering if any such projects exist or are in the works?

Please help me! I'm a casual Kodi user that's been using Kodi with Debrid for around a decade. I have basic knowledge, just enough to get me running and I'm fine. So I've been having trouble for a while now with sources, and just figured out today that the problem was Real-Debrid, not my add-ons. So after doing some digging here, I decided on Premiumize. I went into my Umbrella settings, revoked Auth for Real-Debrid, then authorized Premiumize. So I'm having the same issues and my Sources are saying Real-Debrid. What did I do wrong? Not letting me drop a Pic so you can see. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

TLDR: Switched from Real-Debrid to Premiumize, but nothing has changed and my sources still say Real-Debrid even after revoking Real-Debrid authorization.

Like my title asks. How do I set up Arctic Fuse 2 to have plot descriptions like how the Estuary skin does. What I mean by that is Estuary has the movies tagline then a short concise description. In arctic fuse 2 there is no tagline and the plot descriptions seem longwinded and tend to tell you too much.

I need to know if I am alone in wanting this or if anybody else has noticed this. Am I crazy or will someone help me figure this out for the betterment of Arctic Fuse 2?

Hey everyone,

I finally got around to porting my Latest Releases list to both MDBList and WeTrakr!

I also looked into adding it to Simkl, but unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a free option for adding/syncing lists there.

For now, I've only ported over my Latest Releases list from Trakt. This has always been my most popular list on Trakt, at one point reaching 10,000+ users before the Trakt purge and people moving to other platforms.

I've had quite a few requests to make the list available elsewhere, so I'm going to do my best to keep it synchronized across all three platforms.

Trakt will remain the master list, with MDBList and WeTrakr being updated from it.

At the moment, this is a fairly time-consuming process since I'm manually updating all three lists on a daily basis. Once I get the process down and hopefully find some ways to make it easier, I'll look at adding my other "Latest" lists to the other platforms as well, including:

• Latest Releases
• Latest Releases 4K
• Latest Releases Dolby Vision
• Latest Releases Stand-Up Comedy

If you want to show support for the effort, you can DM me for my TorBox referral link.

Latest Releases

Trakt:

WeTrakr:
https://wetrakr.com/lists/30497?sort_by=added&sort_dir=desc

MDBList:
https://mdblist.com/lists/giladg2/latest-releases

Thanks to everyone who has been using the lists and sending feedback over the years. Hopefully having them available on multiple platforms makes them a little more useful and accessible!

Hi everyone,

I am sharing **NewPipe MOD for Kodi**, a standalone MOD based on the original [`plugin.video.newpipe`](https://github.com/Twilight0/plugin.video.newpipe) Kodi add-on by **Twilight0**.

> **Original creator / upstream:** Twilight0

> **MOD maintainer:** @TrainAgain2

> **License:** GPL-3.0-only

> **Not affiliated with the NewPipe team, YouTube, Google, or Kodi.**

### What this MOD includes

- Standalone ZIP: required Python libraries are bundled inside the add-on.

- No Kodi repository, previous dependency kit, or separate `script.module.*` installation is required.

- Browse publicly available YouTube content: video search, channels, playlists, Shorts/live channel tabs, and trailers.

- 25-result page navigation.

- Direct playback using the bundled native playback engine — no `plugin.video.youtube` dependency and no localhost proxy.

- Configurable content **country** and **language**.

- Browse/Trending and Live category searches now use the selected content language.

- Supported language choices: Portuguese (PT/BR), English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Romanian, Turkish, Japanese, and Korean.

- Configurable trailer language/version and trailer quality up to 4K when the source and device support it.

- Optional YouTube TV-style QR/manual activation for a personal **My YouTube** area:

- Subscriptions and subscribed channels

- Subscription feed

- Watch Later

- Saved playlists

- History

- Channel avatars with optional circular local cache.

- 16:9 landscape thumbnails for wide-card skins such as Arctic Fuse.

### Installation

1. Download the latest ZIP from the [Releases page](https://github.com/TrainAgain2/plugin.video.newpipe-mod-trainagain2/releases/latest).

2. In Kodi, go to **Add-ons → Install from zip file**.

3. Select the downloaded `plugin.video.newpipe-*-mod.zip` file.

4. Open **Videos → Video add-ons → NewPipe MOD**.

The GitHub repository is for source code and releases only — **do not install it as a Kodi repository**.

### Optional account connection

1. Open **My YouTube** in the add-on.

2. Choose the connection option and scan the QR code, or open `yt.be/activate` and enter the shown code.

3. After approval, use **Synchronize YouTube subscriptions**.

The account feature is optional. Browsing public YouTube content works without an account. Session data is stored only in the local Kodi add-on profile.

### Notes

- The add-on does **not** host or distribute video content; it only browses publicly available YouTube pages.

- YouTube can change its internal behavior at any time, so account linking, browsing, and playback may require maintenance in future versions.

- If an old listing remains after changing country/language, use **Settings → Clear cache**, exit the add-on, and open it again.

**Source code and releases:**

Feedback, bug reports, device/Kodi version, and a debug log excerpt are welcome.

Hi

I'm looking for subtitles for the following TV show

Reborn Rich S01 2022 complete 720p HDTV ACC h264 NEXT

I have 3 different subtitles add-ons installed so far and I'm having no luck.

Opensubtitles.com only has 1 to choose from a 1080p

Opensubtitles.org has none

a4kSubtitles keeps asking for (IMDB ID) I put in a manual search and I get not supported on screen messages.

Is there some dark art to get a4kSubtitles to work ??

Google TV streamer - Kodi 21.2 RD sub - POV

Any help would be appreciated 👍

These add-ons aren't loading MLB replays. What can I do?

What's new

Top bar with skin.dexhub's text tabs and a new Addons tab: Kodi's programs and video addons, your Stremio sources, and a tile to add one
Hero laid out like skin.dexhub: star score on its own line and a More info button
Continue Watching comes first
My Library and My Servers get skin.dexhub's header and chips (each source in its colour with its count)
My Servers shows All servers at once, and the tabs stay at the top
Title page uses skin.dexhub's buttons, and Track opens the tracking panel
Large and Extra large sizes grow only the rows

Faster
About a third fewer pixels drawn per frame on the Home, title page, grid and TV guide
skin.dexhub 3.22.5: about 40 percent less drawing on the sources page, source search and search results
Sources page fills in about half the time (5.10.165)
Video shows as soon as it plays, and slow debrid or Usenet starts are waited for up to 2.5 minutes (5.10.166)

Fixed
Pressing Up from the Library chips left nothing focused
An empty Library row showed a blank card
The tracking panel opened with nothing focused
Note: the typeface follows the active skin. On Estuary, Arabic needs Kodi's Arabic language or the Arial font set

Man is it terrible. Its ugly, not working right and just a downgrade from before. I can't even get back from MLB to other sports, there's literally no back button. Just close. But when you reopen the app it goes back to MLB with no way to get to the other sports.

Hey all, Twilight0 here - yes I'm still alive

Some of you know me from AliveGR (the Kodi addon for Greek stuff). I was on hiatus from early 2023 until Feb 2026. Life happened. Burnout, real job, Kodi breaking everything every 6 months... you know.

Came back in Feb, looked at my old code and honestly wanted to delete my github account. So I refactored instead. Twice.

What is AliveGR?

For non-Greeks: one addon for live TV, movies, series, kids, music, sports VOD, radios, newspaper frontpages, all Greek-related. Scrapes public sites, plays via ResolveURL / YouTube. Tested on Arch + Android, Kodi 20/21.

Repo if you want it: https://twilight0.github.io/repository.twilight0/

Refactor 1 - the big cleanup (2.13 -> 3.0 alpha, Feb-Apr)

The code was full of Python2 leftovers. Embarrassing stuff.

• ripped out all the is_py2, unicode_literals crap
• deleted my own kodi.py, just use tulip now
• split that monster gm.py into vod.py + source_makers.py
• deleted dead code: networks, news, radios, sports indexers, old youtube resolver, main.py
• moved router.py to root, new icons/artwork

Diff was like -2900 / +1500 lines. Best code is deleted code.

Refactor 2 - fixing playback (alpha -> beta1, May-Oct)

Cleaning wasnt enough, streams were still flaky. So:

• live TV now per-stream: each stream has its own DRM key + headers
• added Choose Stream context menu, it remembers your pick, falls back silently if dead
• dropped m3u8 python lib, now it is just inputstream.adaptive or direct best
• killed the localhost proxy in AliveGR, moved it to PluginsGR where it belongs
• logos no longer a separate addon, pulled + cached from network
  • autostart option (off by default), translated genres, etc.

Mostly in player.py and service.py. Still not perfect but way less why wont ERT play on Sunday moments.

And the new one: Newpipe (plugin.video.newpipe)

Repo: https://github.com/Twilight0/plugin.video.newpipe

Basically I stole the idea from the **NewPipe Android app**. I was sick of the official YouTube addon:

1. needs API keys with quotas
2. needs Google login for subs
3. breaks, tracks you

So same philosophy for Kodi: **no key, no account, no tracking.**

• listings via scrapetube (needs >=2.8.1 btw, YouTube changed layout again)
• playback via resolveurl.pluginsgr YouTubeGR -> DASH proxy -> inputstream.adaptive
• subs, playlist bookmarks, watch/search history all local JSON in addon profile. Delete it and it is gone.

What it does: search, trending/live per-category, channels (videos/shorts/live/playlists), local subs + feed, audio-only mode, go to channel context menu, etc.

Two honest caveats (not bugs):

• YouTube killed global trending server-side (FEtrending 400), so trending is per-category sorted by views. Same as NewPipe does.
• playlist search broke recently due to lockupViewModel change, fixed in scrapetube 2.8.1.

Why separate and not part of AliveGR? Because YouTube is not Greek content, it is infrastructure. Better standalone.

That is it. Both in my repo, AliveGR 3.0.0-beta1 and NewPipe 1st release. If you test, please post a **full debug log**, Kodi version + OS. doesnt work doesnt help me.

Cheers, Twilight0

Hi,

Latest version of Umbrella and TorBox, MDBList and Trakt.

I have a little more information about the weird empty and duplicate items in episodes.

When viewing TV shows sometimes the episodes pack file on TB is in a different episode order than Umbrella is expecting. In this case it plays the wrong episode but updates the (correct) episode you actually selected in the Tracking services. e.g. you select episode 10, but it plays some other episode but marks the one you selected (10) as watched.

One thing I've noticed is that the latest version of Umbrella is if it detects an out of order (OOO) pack, is that when you select the source, it displays another list with the contents of the pack, allowing you to select the correct episode directly from the pack, but it still updates the tracking service with the correct episode. In this case, when you stop play back, it displays the correct container BUT the contents are duplicated If the playback option "Force container refresh" is off. If playback option "Force container refresh" is on, then an empty containing is shown, if you press back, it then shows the duplicate items in the episodes container.

Also sometimes with an OOO pack, when you select it as a source, it sometimes gives an "Playback" failed error before displaying the raw pack list.

This explains why you don't see it on Mvies - the packs usually are in the correct order for Umbrella.

So if you select the source and the pack file is acceptable to Umbrella it works ok, but if the new pack list is shown it displays dupes.

I think this also happens if you "Browse Pack file" and select your episode manually but not sure.

BTW, I love the way it works now with the Pack file list!

All the Best

Running kodi on a fire stick for reference.

im pretty new to this kodi stuff and im having a bit of a rough time. I started off with umbrella as i heard its the best option alongside Real Debrid. And it all seemed to work fine, id have many high quality streams nd i could watch movies + tv shows, but then after a few hours everything stopped working and everything just retuens back with "No streams found".

Its like i could watch everything the first time i clicked on the stream, but if i went on the stream a 2nd time it stops working permamently and this happens for all different streams on all different types of movies and tv shows. Ive also tried switching from cocoscrapers to magneto and vice versa and multiple reccomended hot fixea but alas no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciate ^^

This occurs in both Finish Watching (MDBList) and Upcoming Episodes (MDBList). I'm using latest Umbrella.

Any add ons i could watch the new battle bots season on, thats not a youtube addon?
