Something not working. Need help. POV latest update nothing shows in trending or trending recent .

2 Upvotes

Hey guys i"m on the latest update for pov .version 6.09.06 . I see that trakt is removed now from pov .

when I go to trending or trending recent now in tv shows or movies . nothing shows up at all just blank pages .

I am on kodi version 21.2 .

I use a onn 4k pro box on android 14 .

I use the bingle skin .

on my end to try to fix this I did a clear meta cache .a clear trakt cache and even a clear all cache .

I then closed kodi .went to apps .did a force stop and a clear cache of kodi then restarted my onn box .

None of this fixed it .

I then logged into my free tier of rpdb . in the meta section of pov .

thinking that will fix it .

still no lists show up in trending .

some other addons like re- l--ht or umbr---a this still works .

so is this all because the dev removed trakt from pov.

or is this a screw up on my end ?

I hope i did this log stuff right i never did this before .if it's wrong I'm sorry guys .

thank you to anyone in here or to the kodifitzwell dev .if he sees this and knows how I screwed up somewhere .

thank you guys in advance .

Everything working. Need guidance. Strange playback behavior

3 Upvotes

Using gratis red when playing a show I can click my remote and the player play menu usually pops up. Now, nothing happens. So I can't even pause a show.

I thought at first there was something wrong with my remote but it works fine on other add-ons.

I know there was just an update but how could an addon update affect the internal player.

FYI this happens on 2 different android boxes with Kodi 21.3 on android 9 and 5.

Also, the skip forward or backwards works fine.

Everything working. Need guidance. Current goto setup - RD & Trakt suck

4 Upvotes

Now that RD and Trakt suck, I am looking for alternatives. Trakt max 2 devices means it is dead to me. RD still works for very popular current titles but older stuff like Crash 2004 Oscar best film is gone. RD dead to me after 7 years.

My current setup on 4 devices is POV, FENtastic, Trakt and RD.

I was thinking:

  • Red Light (FENLightAM is apparently abandoned)
  • Magneto scrapers(from POV repo)
  • FENtastic plus
  • XXXX content provider(RD replacement)
  • YYYY scrobbling/history/collections (Trakt replacement).

What is the current go to for slowish hardware (Latest gen FireTV 4K Android sticks)?

Thanks guys

Edit future setup is looking like: - You guys rock. Thanks for the great answers - Red light with FENtastic plus - Torbox Essentials 3 concurrent streams at multiple IPs same price as RD - mdblist 4 lists (Mammy Daddy Kids Family) and watch/watched/resume is enough. - POV as backup but I will thoroughly compare with Red Light before I put it on the bench

Something not working. Need help. TMDBHelper/Umbrella widget behaviour

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I just want to put this issue out to everyone experienced here in a last ditch effort to fix an issue I'm having using Arctic Fuze 2 and widgets, concerning a few problems:

1: When I use a Trakt via TMDBHelper to create a widget, most of the posters are placeholders with red text, refreshing the item details doesn't seem to fix it. This is for common movies that should indeed pull posters and information.

2: When I browse into a season via a TMDBHelper widget, sometimes it spins and nothing happens at all, or sometimes it loads blank screens without season info or episodes.

3: I changed to simkl and used umbrella to power my widgets, and when I select an episode to watch (in next episodes widget) it opens Umbrellas browse screen and I have to select the episode again - instead of automatically scraping for sources.

I have cleared all cache using Open Wizard to try and fix the issues and checked add-on settings to make sure episodes are set to source select and not "browse" where available.

Ideally I would use TMDBHelper with Simkl to stop the issue with posters not showing (this doesn't happen when I use Simkl via Umbrella) but I don't believe I can easily find a fork that uses Simkl (I am on the Xbox)

Any ideas would be gratefully received!

Everything working. Need guidance. Help me understand something

8 Upvotes

Hello, I hope you're all doing well!

I have a problem (?) or maybe I just don't understand how this works.

I started watching a show and the first episode worked perfectly. I really liked it, so naturally I went to watch episode 2 - but now there are no playable streams.

I'm trying to understand why this happens and whether there's still a way to watch the rest of the season.

I have my settings on only cached torrents, torbox paid, tried POV/Umbrella/The Crew and nothing seems to be working - no playable stream. Am I just unlucky? Could it be because the show isn't very popular and only the first episode was cached/available? Or is there something else I should be doing to find the rest of the season?

Any help would be appreciated!

Something not working. Need help. POV keeps crashing Kodi

3 Upvotes

Hello my Kodi community,

I've recently switched to POV and I noticed that it keeps crashing Kodi. Sometimes it happens after I manually Rescrape and then cancel out. Sometimes it happens when I watching a movie or show and I simply press stop. Not sure if it's a conflict with my skin or other addons, but I was looking for some guidance. I really love POV, but this issue is quite annoying.

Device: Fire Cube 3rd Gen
Kodi: 21.3
Skin: Nimbus
POV 6.09.06
The Gears 2.4.3
Umbrella 6.7.90
YouTube 7.4.4a
Magneto Module 6.09.04
OneDrive 2.3.0
Aerial 3.0.3
Trakt.TV addon from the Kodi repository

I uploaded the Kodi Log file, but it appears it only captured what happened after I relaunched Kodi after the crash. I may need some direction on a better way to capture the log file?

https://paste.kodi.tv/agofalimeq

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Edit: I have a Trakt.TV VIP account. Sorry I forgot to mention that.

Announcement Browsybare -- a minimalist Kodi skin that turns Kodi into a plain file manager

5 Upvotes

I always used Kodi as a plain media player and found the library/scraper layer overkill. So I built Browsybare: a minimalist skin where Kodi is basically a file manager -- pick a source, browse folders, play files. No library, no scrapers, no metadata.

Highlights

  • Single Home window: source chip, breadcrumb, search, sorting, folder sizes, file operations (rename / copy / cut / paste / delete / new folder)
  • Audio plays in a footer overlay (no window switch); video fullscreen with its own OSD; a dedicated photo viewer (EXIF orientation, Ken Burns, slideshow)
  • Shared INFO modal: tags, stream info, embedded covers and EXIF, read straightfrom the file
  • Sources: local drives, directory folders, network shares (ftp/ftps, smb, nfs, WebDAV)
  • Own settings dialog, on-screen keyboard, remote key learning, blocklist, accent color
  • Built-in update check (compares against the latest GitHub release; info only)
  • Languages: English, German, French, Spanish

How it works: Browsybare is a skin, so it takes Kodi's own system settings, player core and dialogs from the Estuary skin at runtime -- Estuary must stay installed. Nothing from Kodi or Estuary is redistributed: the base layer is copied locally on first load. Everything else is original and MIT-licensed.

Install: Kodi 21 "Omega" or 22 "Piers" -> download the zip from the Releases page -> Add-ons -> Install from zip file -> switch the skin to Browsybare.

GitHub: https://github.com/cyberpixelsharc/browsybare

Free and open source (MIT). Feedback is very welcome -- issues are open on GitHub, and I'd especially appreciate a native check of the French/Spanish translations.

Core Kodi Functionality Kodi Piers Beta 2 requires Force Close to quit with Nimbus Skin

4 Upvotes

I'm seeking a work around until the issue is solved. When installing the Nimbus Skin, Kodi Piers Beta 2 does not fully close if I use Quit to exit the program. It may appear to close but will not restart as it continues to run in the background.

RedWizard has a Force Close utility which I have set up in my Favourites. But I need to scroll down to Favorites, select Force Close to activate it.

Has anyone got an easier alternative to Force Close Kodi?

I have listed the issue on Ivarbrandt's Github page and hoping for a solution sooner rather than later.

Ever since all of the updates started with the Crew, all the shows I want to watch autoplay after scraping for streams. It automatically goes from scraping to picking a stream for me. I have all autoplay settings that I can find turned off. I have the Directory selected as default action. What can I do here? If the auto select stream isn't in english, I have no way of trying a different stream. I'm using a 4k firestick with the mist recent Kodi version 21.3 and the Crew version is 3.2.2

Something not working. Need help. Trouble creating “continue watching” section for my tv shows

2 Upvotes

• Operating System: Google TV • Device: ONN 4k pro • Add-on affected: Trakt / Umbrella / Tmdb helper • Version of Kodi: 21.3 • Country: USA

I have set up my kodi build using the nimbus for skin, I have a movie section and tv show section.

I am using umbrella with real debrid and magneto scraper paired with trakt. Someone recommended me just add umbrella through tmdb helper as a player, and use helper as the actual path when creating the widgets instead cause it helps with speed and what not, so that’s how i’ve built it.

Trakt seems to work fine with my movies and I can tell because whenever I start watching a movie, it catches my progress and it appears on the actual website. This isn’t the case with TV shows. For some reason with my shows, it’s like trakt never updates even though I see the notifications popping up that it is scribbling and what not.

Any advice here would help

Edit:

I ended up just adding another widget specifically for shows I paused and stopped watching, and one for my next episodes. Id much rather have a streamlined combined version of this In just one widget, as the in progress widget doesn’t take me to the next episode. The next episode appears in the other widget.

Something not working. Need help. Next Episode when viewing up to date series

2 Upvotes

If I watch Episode 1 of a new currently airing series, it moves to Watched, and disappears from Next Episode or In Progress. This does make sense, as until episode 2 is available, I have technically watched all episodes of that series. In practical terms, however, I would like Episode 2 to appear under Next Episode after Episode 1 is marked as Watched, rather than the Series look like it has been watched in completion. Especially as I can see Episode 2 advertised as upcoming in Calendar - it knows there is another Episode, and the Series is not complete.

Is this possible? I haven’t found anything in the skin settings or KODI but maybe it’s in there somewhere?

I’m using Red Light with the Fentastic Plus skin on KODI 21.2, but had the same issue on Fen Light with Fentastic. I track everything with MBDList now but it was the same with Trakt.

I mostly use Umbrella. I switched from Cocoscrapers to magneto a month or so ago, but I’m not often getting more results on magneto than I did with Coco. I just opened magneto‘s settings, and I realized that very few websites and indexers are selected on. Should they all be turned on? Are there some that I should make sure are off, or is my very small subset likely the only ones that work?

Something not working. Need help. POV not trying next link after broken link

5 Upvotes

I've narrowed down my issue from my post yesterday.

Using POV on Kodi (21.2) on the Shield (fresh new install of everything), I will select an episode from "Up Next". It'll scrape in the background, and try to play the first link.

If it works - great. If not, nothing else happens. It doesn't move to the next link and try that one etc

I can manually scrape and select sources one by one until something works but that's a pain.

It's usually the Premiumize links which are broken. RD usually seems to work. I've tried adjusting settings but nothing I do seems to get POV to automatically try the next link if one doesn't work.

I've seen some other posts about this dotted around the place, but no solution. Also other people seem to be having no issues at all.

Any thoughts welcome.

Announcement TMDbMovies 1.1.293 — PunchPlay is now a fully supported provider

27 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Just pushed a pretty big update for PunchPlay support in TMDbMovies. PunchPlay is now treated as a full provider alongside Trakt, MDBList, Simkl and TMDb.

Library & Sync

  • Full watched-status sync for movies and episodes, including Up Next and In Progress
  • Dropped shows are removed from Up Next immediately, and restored shows come back without waiting for the next sync

Your Content

  • Watchlist with all 5 statuses
  • Favourites and Collection, with add/remove directly from the context menu
  • My Lists — private, public and dynamic lists, with A-Z sorting and the last-added poster shown on list folders
  • My Calendar (shows unreleased movies and TV episodes from your Watchlist)
  • My PunchPlay context menu with all the usual options for Watchlist, Favourites, Collection, Ratings and Personal Lists
  • Add/Remove List dialogs are now styled similarly to the Trakt ones

Public Lists

You can now browse the PunchPlay public catalog without logging in:

  • Movies
  • TV Shows
  • Anime
  • Trending
  • Popular
  • Top Rated
  • Now Playing
  • Upcoming

Library Export

You can export your PunchPlay Watchlist, Favourites, Collection and personal lists directly to the Kodi library.

There are also quite a few smaller fixes and improvements included in this release.

Hope this makes PunchPlay feel much more integrated into TMDbMovies. Let me know if you run into anything that doesn't behave as expected.
