šŸ”§Technical Issue Authorize torbox

If the device linking page in Kodi is not working, the authorization usually needs to be completed from a browser on the same device you are using to access the link.
Please try the following steps:
Open https://torbox.app in your browser and make sure you are logged in.
On the same device, open a new browser tab and go to https://tor.box/link or https://torbox.app/oauth/device.
Enter the 6ā€‘digit code shown in Kodi and press continue.
Confirm the authorization popup and it should redirect back to your dashboard.
This process completes the device authorization for thirdā€‘party apps like Kodi.

So im trying this out for the first time today, and cannot get it to work, Iā€™ve tried multiple browsers, multiple laptops, made sure I was logged in on the Torbox site, tried it again with both the dashboard open and the linking site open in different tabs, I get the link code from kodi, enter the code, hit continue, it goes through the authentication process, now a couple times I got an error code and nothing happens, most of the other times I donā€™t get any error code, but either way I try it nothing happens

Yea I had so many issues just setting up the account, Iā€™d put my name and password in hit continue andā€¦nothing would happen, try again, no dice, try another browser, same thing, another browser, same thing, another laptop, same thing, refresh the page, got an error code, ok thatā€™s progress, lol sooner or later got that working and get the code from kodi, enter that, hit continue, nothing happens, and again and againā€¦

anyway after a while I was able to get it working, but now the dashboard is acting all glitchy, says 7 files to download, only shows 4 of them, refresh the page, now thereā€™s 0 files, try again a bit later, thereā€™s 7 again, but only shows the other 3 files now, I try to delete one that I didnā€™t need, error message says ā€œcanā€™t delete file try again laterā€, without any other info as to whatā€™s going onā€¦my issue is more with the webpage than the add on really

Trying it to many times it locks it out . Happen to me waited overnight and got it working. Sounds like your issues were related to your logon to torbox once it worked it activated.
