Kodi android not downloading

Also, can you check and see if the addon has any available updates? It worked before I did the suggested update.. Just uninstall and download the correct version here:. Trying to install no limits, but I have no idea what the deal is.

Did a fresh install. After it installs and i put kodi on nothing happens. I go to install from zip file again but there is nothing there. Its like it never downloaded it.

I have the newest version of Kodi on my Nvidia shield. I have downloaded 1 million repositories but I cannot get them into my files to where Kodi realizes it has anything in it.

So I can turn Kodi on, jack with repositories and files for as long as I decide to, then turn it off. That is all that I can do. To add a repository, you just go to Add-ons, then click the box icon in the top left, then hit Install from zip file and browse to wherever you saved the repo.

Any other repo installation should work the exact same way. Can you see if this works? Some flashed up an icon like the no limits wizard did. They were all repos I was able to find within Kodi.

Can you click on root filesystem and see if you can navigate your way to the downloads folder from there? Just external storage, fusion add-on, network file system, root file sys, zeroconf browser. Kodi actually only comes with one repo installed — the official Kodi repo. Hi Andrew, definately a strange issue. Also, you installed No Limits, then reinstalled Kodi? Was there something wrong with it?

Tried jarvis v16 , krypton v17 to see if it is the kodi program the problem. But all the same problem. If so, try going into the settings menu and seeing if there are any options other than Confluence.

Have you tried installing No Limits, then shutting Kodi down using the power options menu, instead of unplugging it? Usually, they come with all kinds of unofficial addons pre-installed, and they make troubleshooting quite a bit more difficult. I dont understand? Everytime is the same , i deleted and when i reinstall it , i open it and after 10 secs again stuck, dont give you even time to go to settings or to add the source.

I installed IPVanish from the amazon app store onto the 3rd gen firestick and it connected as expected. Apps like BBCiplayer, firefox, youtube worked. But when I installed kodi, the stick crashed- lost wifi connection; said the signal was out of range. I rebooted router, tried to restart the stick, to no avail. I can click launch an app eg ipvanish, but there is no internet connection. All I could do was factory reset the stick. I tried this a few times; same each time.

If you do decide to get a Fire TV and have any issues with it, just leave a comment. Can you try installing a version of Kodi 17 instead?

Also, does this happen without Durex installed? I have the latest Kodi and using the Durex Build. Everything was fine for a while, but recently it started acting up.

Movies is selected and all the movies are listed with the cover, select one and it goes black for 3 seconds and then returns to the same page. Chappaai error? Select anything and only get: files playlist, and video add-ons.

Please help!! Hey Marcus, can you upload the debug log somewhere so I can take a look? Yes sir, I appreciate you and your time more than anything. How and where should I upload it to? I see where it says log files in Indigo. I tried clicking on Upload Log and it says error then tells me to check the Log Viewer for more info. I can open the log viewer but not upload log. Just wanted to let you know that I did what you had suggested.

Deleted all the contents in that folder after the suggested pathway in Run. It still failed to work. Would get to loading sources then closed program. Figured it would be my last chance with trying to fix it. Yeah, I went through the logs and checked all the errors and warnings. I saw one say something about my playstation controller so I disabled that feature to see if that worked.

Same crash happened. I am not using any custom skin. I tried to do a Rejuvenation from the Indigo addon and it said there was an error and to just check the logs, which is what you probably noticed.

I have tried to completely Uninstall the program and redownload it to no avail. I am more than willing to start from the beginning and not worried about losing data, as I would just prefer it to work lol if I uninstall is there a separate folder I need to delete to get rid of my userdata. That said, you were on the right track. Now delete everything in this folder and reinstall Kodi.

I made an account on pastebin. So basically its on pastebin. Are you using a custom skin? It seems to be throwing an error, so you might want to disable this until we find the real problem. Not sure if this is the cause either, but there seems to be an issue with your startup rejuvenation.

Marcus, you created a Facebook account and posted the Pastebin link there? Am I understanding you correctly?

I know this is incorrect because I watched it 2 weeks ago. I cannot watch any movies. I have cleared my cache to no avail. Am I supposed to update my Exodus or something?

I watch on my TV. Thanks for any help you can give. Hi Melissa. Yes, I have vanilla Kodi. How do I remove sources? From where? Unfortunately this has left vanilla Kodi unaffected: same update errors and impossibility to install anything new. I installed Surprise: it still remembers all the addons I previously installed, tries to update them and fails. Hi Jan, that is a tricky one. When you reinstalled it, it consulted these files and discovered all your addons.

Hi Ian, thanks for replying. This is unbelievable. I even tried to reset the TV by unplugging the manes. Try deleting the addons and removing the repository sources before reinstalling Kodi. Would be glad if it was, tho. At least I could try a dalvik clear. How do I remove addons and reps before installing Kodi? Hi Jan, Kodi builds are versions of kodi that come with addons preinstalled, which could have been why they kept appearing. Supreme Titanium is actually one of these builds! Can you remove the sources, then reinstall?

Failing that, the only other option I can think of is uploading the debug log somewhere so I can take a look at it.

Hopefully this would shed some light on the root cause. My android Kodi box started acting up last night. I would try an addon and sometimes it would let me choose a show, sometimes not. When it does let me choose, I can get to the stream page but no further.

It shows the play icon on the top next to the time but it will never play anything. It will just go back to the list and I am able to scroll to other streams. None of them work.

I am completely lost. Can you help please? Hey Jaime, can you do an internet speed test for me? Does this problem occur with addons from the Kodi repo? It happens with Mobdro and YouTube. My connection works fine with my laptop and Kindles. Would you mind posting the error log somewhere and linking me to it?

It might allow me to see what exactly is causing this issue. Hi Ian, So I apologize for what I think is a rudimentary question, but I have a hard time keeping up with all the different jargon in your great article. I was watching a movie via kodi on my firestick and it it just turned off. At first I thought it was just bc I paused it too long, maybe, but I had to start the movie over and when it got going, it shut down just over halfway.

By shutdown I mean that the movie turned off , not the firestick itself. Any idea how to resolve the issue? Hi Jason, glad you enjoyed the article! Try not to get disheartened by the jargon — we try to keep things as simple as possible, but Kodi is pretty complex software. First, does this happen with several different movies? With several different addons assuming youre not using local content? Best, Ian. The other day I went onto my usual Simple Client add on and there is nothing there.

I have followed the instructions to try to reinstall the add on but there is still nothing there. What am I doing wrong? I pay a subscription to Occultum and have tried to contact them to see if they can help with the problem but it seems the web site I use use no longer exists. Hiya, lots of info on this site, excellent. Kodi is not frozen thru all this. Hmm, can you check the log file and see if anything jumps out?

Hey Scott, glad you like our content! As much as we love it, Kodi can be weird sometimes. Does this problem happen with every addon or just some of them?

Also, are you connected to a VPN? I have android box with kodi. These days streaming live tv freezes after 1 or 2 minutes of watching live tv channel-for example cnn or fox news. I use cloud app to watch free streaming live tv show but these days every time i open cloud app, it keeps updating every time i close and reopen cloud app. But then again streaming live tv keeps stop working or freezes and reopen the tv channel.

Also, what kind of download speeds do you get? Hi Ian I hope you can help me with Kodi. Recently I had issues with my external drive as it keeps freezing for some reason so I bought a new one and transferred all my movie files to the new external drive. When I try to browse the source and ADD as source in kodi for a new drive, kodi did not see it , instead the drive showed as 8.

I searched for posters and find most of them. Today I mounted my drive but now it showed another number 8. Can you tell me what to do please as I am desperate. Hi there! Does your external hard drive show up here?

The poster issue is a bit more of a problem, though. The problem i have, is that some movies dont play on network stored on my nas but they play locally without problems on USB stick. Do you have suggestions on how to fix this? Hi there, can you check your debug log and see if there are any errors in there? Hi I found site that is maybe helping me Before I had kodi on my system Mxq pro with android 4.

Have you enabled installation from unknown sources in the settings menu? Hi, I have a Kodi box and when I click on the Kodi icon, it takes me to a grey screen, then back to the home page.

Just started happening to day. I have a problem with my kodi box mxq pro repeatedly giving me a black screen when clicking on tabs, after I install addons even from the kodi repository. This leads to me having to delete and reinstall kodi, before my deleting I clear cache, clear data then uninstall. And this problem persists after a clean install? Can you view the logs without your screen turning black?

I have just tried to install another one and the background of the main menu has gone black writing is white, highlighted option is blue until you click on the option, even the settings option then the whole screen goes black. You can back up but no change, same black background no matter what option you choose same black screen outcome.

For the past few days I am unable to perform a search in Kodi. When I type the name of a movie or actor, it takes me to the amazon search page. I can select a movie if it already appears in the addon, but not if I type in the search field. Is anyone else having this problem, and how do I fix it.

Hi Dora, can you clarify what you mean by amazon search page? Hi Ian. It takes me to Amazon — to the page where I can choose to view, rent or buy — as if I had searched from the Amazon home screen and not from kodi.

But if I type in the search field, it takes me to Amazon. Very frustrating,. That is pretty strange… can you try searching with one of the official addons? The procedure would be exactly the same.

Some illegal add-ons have also been blocked, especially in a bid to fight unlawful streaming of Premier League action.
