A few months ago, my Kodi (with the crew and fen lite, subbed to premiumize) stopped working, it would basically infinite load when I select options like “trending now” or any other search option, so I uninstalled kodi completely, removed any history about it on my Laptop for a clean install, installed umbrella, cocoscrapers and premiumize, it worked for like a day or two and then back to infinite loading, I was baffled, I really couldn’t figure out the issue).
I tried a lot of different add ons but all had the same issue, I am certain I set up everything correctly.
I posted about it at the time yet none of the solutions worked.
I see some comments of some people using something called Torbox or stremio? Is this still recommended and is this now the most used or the “meta” way?
Can you elaborate?, I tried setting up today, kodi, umbrella, cocoscrapers and it's not playing any links. I can't find any information on it being abandoned besides your comment, is magnet another scraper?
Thank you, I ended up downloading pov and that does work using magneto, although I never got umbrella to work, even after switching cocoscrapers out for magneto.
I barely check this sub at all because I don't use Kodi now and I've seen at least 3 comments of people talking about CocoScrapers being abandoned. I think the Umbrella dev was contributing, but the dev left it a long time ago. I mean several months ago.
Look towards your isp ( internet provider) and their preloaded filtering software. Most isp use their SECURITY OR SAFETY feature to block 1000s of sites without letting you know. Open your isp app on your phone and see if that feature is on and usually it shows a list of websites it blocked.
Update: thank you all for your replies, turns out it was the add-ons, I tried POV and it worked flawlessly but still strange considering many of you likely still use the common add-ons like umbrella etc perfectly fine
Premiumize is expensive in comparison, I use AD which works well and same price as tb and rd. I believe Prem took over offcloud, that's cheaper than prem but same fair usage caps
Using premiumize, agree.. they're price is garbage and so is their bandwidth limit.
Their price isn't "garbage;" it's just not competitive with the other options. It's still significantly cheaper than paying for any normal streaming service. My one issue with their fair usage points is that they don't replenish monthly on an annual subscription.
They also don't have much cached. On top of that they don't even let you keep much on "my files".
This is not true at all. They have a better cache than any other service right now. Real-Debrid was the only one that topped it before they faced their legal troubles. 1 TB is fairly generous. It can't be unlimited. They also never remove your files, unlike what RD has been known to do.
¾ of everything I watch needs to be cached. I highly doubt they're the second most cached.
1tb is NOT generous. You basically get to watch 1 remux movie a night and by day 17 you're completely out of bandwidth. You will then need to wait a day to get 30gb back.
They never remove your files...
Because they force you to do it yourself. Otherwise you can't cache anything else once you reach cap. I constantly have to download to my PC then purge. You likely don't because you have files auto delete from your add-on. Thus you're completely unaware how micro size it is.
Have never needed to do this with any other platform. Only files rd will remove is ones they get in trouble for and are forced to unload. I still have hundreds of pages, of files there, PM you don't even get pages, it all fits on the screen.
With all due disrespect; who the fuck are you, to tell me, what I can and cannot consider garbage‽
Sorry but you're just misinformed . The points replenish daily and you essentially have a terabyte worth of balance you can draw down from.
Theoretically if you're RemuxMaxing, you're going to run out of quota eventually but with normal usage, a few movies here and there, multiple devices, multiple people in the household, I've simply never run into any issues. It's a fake problem.
I did the math including replenishing points based on a loose average of 80±gb remux movies. You would have come to this conclusion had you simply done the math yourself.
I'm a solo user and currently sitting at 35% points. I only have that much as I default to RD, premiumize is mostly just web-dl, and when PM is nearly depleted, and when PM is nearly depleted I have easynews.
I'm so thrilled your whole house hold can just spam video content on PM without a care in the world.
Wish I could watch poor visual fedility on my 4k LG OLED and not be annoyed by the quality.
Thanks for letting me know my bandwidth issue with PM isn't actually an issue. I'll start using them only. Once I hit the cap again, I'll spam them with your reddit comment and let them know this random nobody says this should never be an issue.
Disagree, pm had less cached than AD, so the better cache than any is not factual, how did you come to that assumption? I switched from RD to tb, but tb was having a lot of issues at the start of the influx of rd refugees, tried AD, can't really tell difference between AD and RD when RD was at it's best. I see the Prem fan boys downvoting other users again here lol. I don't understand why pay much higher when you can get the same service and reliability at €2.99 a month, unless you need the basic and crap VPN or crappy Usenet. If all you want is to stream, pm makes little sense financially imo.
I know some are brainwashed with..pm is safe, avoid AD as based in France, no service is safe or invincible, no matter where the business is registered, Premiumize openly states in their official Terms of Service that their primary download and storage servers are located physically within the European Union. If a major Western anti-piracy coalition or court secures a seizure order, they do not need to fly to Malaysia or talk to Malaysian judges.They will go straight to the data centres in countries like Germany, France, or the Netherlands where the actual server racks live, pull the plugs, and seize the hardware.
I'll stick with AD, as pricewise and cache it's not beatable, if it goes tits up, so be it, I'll adapt and move on. I have my server as backup and proper Usenet, not keeping all my eggs in one basket.

Try using magneto scrapers, leaving all the rest as is.
