I am looking to clear a movie from the TMDBHELPER add-on using umbrella with it, I accidentally added a movie and didn't meant to, not I can't get it deleted and it is driving me crazy.

Wanted to try fentastic but the skin option isn’t available in the repository currently unless there is a workaround on the shield.

It's different looking on iPad in comparison to on shield pro or firstick and limited in options. I just want to add seren. For example when I open Kodi on iPad I see power>settings>folder Followed by pictures, add-ons,games,weather, favorites. That's it . I can't figure out how to add it on and install link and addon from context

Hi,

Is there a way to display ratings from IMDB?

Thank You!

Just noticed recently that tmdbhelper is not properly redirecting for umbrella + fen. Out of the three, Ezra is the only one that will play. I imagine the recent updates to those two may be why. Anyone else noticing this? I love having tmdbhelper as a front end to the players, so I hope this is temporary.

Unable to watch Shogun on my only day of relaxation! I pity my state :(

Edit: its back up 30mins later

Just installed this and logged in, but things are loading just not playing. Seems like it's playing just with no picture. Doesn't matter which quality stream I pick.

Can't seem to see any settings that would have an impact, and also can't see any online reports of similar things.

Kodi with Fen Light and RD works perfectly on my PC, but I primarily want to use it on my LG C1 through the app since then it has Dolby Vision support, and to avoid wasting power with the PC.

When playing the same files on the Web OS app, many of them stutter and buffer constantly to the point of being unwatchable, but it's not all the files or even stricly size/bitrate related. Some 90gb movies play without a hitch, and some 40gb ones buffer endlessly.

My TV does get much worse speed test results, around 70-90 mbps via wifi 5ghz network, even though my connection was recently upgraded to 400mbps, and even my phone hits 250-280 via the same 5ghz wifi. Ethernet cable produces the same speed on the TV, so I don't know if anything can be done in that regard, but I'm also not sure if that's the main cause since some huge files play normally as mentioned.

Also, when I play huge files through Stremio on my phone, and then cast them to the TV's player, they play without a hitch, and the same goes for streaming downloaded movies from the PC via Kodi. It does seem to be specific to Kodi with RD streaming, but only the Web OS app.

Is anyone else using the Web OS app for Kodi with Fen(light)+RD, or have any idea why it buffers so much? Tv is using Kodi 21.0 as the only version available on Web OS, while PC is 20.0. Are there maybe any pre installed addons on the PC that may be speeding up buffering there?

TLDR:

• Kodi with RD on PC - perfect playback
• Kodi on WebOS with RD - stutter on most large movies
• Kodi on WebOS streaming files from the PC - perfect playback
• Stremio phone streaming RD movies to TV player (not Kodi) - perfect playback

All of my installations is generating error for Seren upon starting Kodi.

Getting KodiDB movie FAILED!

I downloaded 2 episodes of a series on my android phone. After watching it I cannot find where the content is saved to delete it. In Tools/Settings/General the TV Shows directory is set by default to special://profile/addon_data/plugin.video.fen/TV show downloads. How do I find this location with a File manager or how do I delete the content? Thank you for any assistance.

Hey guys, looking to know if there's a way to do a few things.

Is there anyway to;

1. Auto add trakt or Debrid account to add ons rather than doing them 1 by 1?

2. Force media view instead of 1 by 1 on addons? (Currently using Arctic Zephyr Reloaded skin)

3. Is there a way to use a playlist of fanart images (Top TV shows/movies) as home menu background? As the actual skins option for this doesn't seem to work.

Any information would be appreciated.

Im looking for a nice back up addon. I used Scrub V2, very reliable and often found things that RD couldnt. I've read what Jewbmx said and totaly understand him. From the reading, it still unsure if he gonna come back.

So now im looking at a new back up. I've read about TheLab, tried it, and since its the same as Scrubs V2 in a lot of aspect, imencounter the same problem, the no working links.

Is there another addon that exist like Scrub V2 out there that i can use for back?

​

ps to Jewbmx: what ever come next for you in this comunity, imjust wanna say thank you for all the work you've done. I do hope, one day you'll come back. If not, again, thanks for what you've done.

Hey guys, i normally use Seren for all my media viewing, but there is this one movie i was trying to watch and it only had 2 sources both where italian hard coded subs and it was an italian movie lol, anyways thought i would look for that movie using the crew and got tired guessing what is cached and what is not so i configured the crew to only show cached content, it finds sources but when i press on the source it says no stream found, i tried on different movies to make sure it was not just that one but i still get that message.

I do have a paid subscription RD acct, could it be something with my configurations in settings that i missed?

No updates in a couple of months and he did met on Twitter. He was looking for someone to take over a few months ago.

I asked for a couple changes to Dradis, and they were added to the latest updates. Many thanks to u/kodifitzwell

I’m using Seren atm as I like some of the stuff it offers but I’m finding the a4kScrapers package lacking In some areas like it’s missing some torrents hosts I like so I was wondering if their is any other packages I can use for Seren in addiction? I searched online but couldn’t find anything.

I use fen favourites to keep a watch list of stuff I find when browsing - both for tv and films. Then I have a widget displaying the favourites. But is it possible to filter them based on watched status? I’m probably making it more complicated than it needs to be to be honest…

Get it here for your specific platform or install using the Kodi Installer Addon from the official Kodi repository.

Changelog can be found here.

As in the title - I've only just got around to using Trakt, so I can't see why the app is also needed (or rather, is available)...on Kodi. I've got to be missing something here.

Does the Trakt app monitor what's playing and scrobbles the info so you don't need to authorize all the add-on's individually, regardless of which you use? (if that's the case, why have the integration in the add-on's at all?)

Many thx if you can help this bird-brain undertstand....

Just started using Kodi and Elemetum, and since I don’t want to be a leech, I’d like to be able to see my total uploads, total downloads, and seed ratio. Is this possible?

New to all this, however I followed a beginners guide from reddit, and for the most part I am successful, but I still dont have a clear understanding of why to get this add-on or that add-on, etc.

Using a Raspberry pi5 running on the OS LibreELEC. as per the instructions I aded Fen Lite, Seren, TMDB, Trakt, and Umbrella. I have an active sub to real-debrid as well.

So here is my question, when I edit my home layout in the settings and I use Fen Lite as a widget, movies populate, I can select a movie and it gets all the links, and works. But per the tutorial instructions it says to use TMDB as the widget instead of FEN or SEREN. When I do make TMDB the widget for movies and shows and select a movie, Fen Lite isnt there as a scraper. After doing some research there were articles saying something has to be change in the .JSON file. Only problem is I dont know how to get behind LibreELEC OS to get into terminal and change that. How nessesary is TMDB? Should I just say screw it and use Fen lite as a widget?

TLDR; Is TMDB necessary or can I just use Fen Lite

Hi,

is there a way to add a language filter for movies and series. I am not sure, maybe this can be also added in the scraper itself?

​

Thank you

I am running a setup with arctic fuse and tmbd helper but i cant get rotten tomato's ratings to display. I have my api key entered in tmbd helper and rotten tomato's selected in the ratings settings in the skin. all i can see is kodi and tmbd ratings.

TV shows progress manager isn't hiding list I've created after update to 1.0.4.1 they still show as hidden, but are def showing in next episodes widgets. Arctic Fuse skin using Chromecast

I have an older tv in my bedroom that doesn’t have 4k capability and use Seren as my primary addon. Unfortunately the addon doesn’t allow me to choose the resolution of the file. So some shows are cast in 4k and when they are it just shuts down Kodi. Is there a way to have 4k resolution not an option?

Kodi version: 20.5 Xenon Build Plus: 2.4 Running over external USB

Problem 1: getting stuck on main screen due to an issue loading the Weather GUI

Solution: go to skin settings > menu item 3 Set widget set to NONE

Problem 2: exiting Kodi through the power menu will give issues reloading kodi next time.

Solution: go to skin settings > general settings choose "floor button options" set power button action to EXIT

Has anyone noticed any problems with Rising Tides Kodi addon?

None of the football streams are working or have been updated since April 2nd.

Hi! I recently started using Kodi on my xbox series x and all videos are unsynced.

I have umbrella, tmdb and arctic horizon 2 installed and all the videos have a lip sync problem. I cant seem to get any menu or settings when the video plays (like most fixes suggests solving the problem). Any ideas how to solve it?

A noob question: I have put together a Fen/Fentastic build on my RPi and I want to replicate that on an Android box with minimum effort. Is it possible?
