Kodi android box doesnt show download complete

Can you help me please. Hi Anthea, can you try turning off hardware acceleration for me? Hi Anthea, can you try playing it in standard definition instead of p or p? If the show plays normally, it could be that your internet speeds are too slow. Additionally, you could check to see if this problem occurs on addons from the official Kodi repo.

I updated my old Then, I could watch my Kodi add-ons, YouTube, mobdro, cloud tv, and the rest of my apps but could get no sound on any of them. Now, sound works again for all the other apps again. This happens every time I try it. Any thoughts? Just try out each option to see which if any work. Hey man, ny brother used to have kodi, he deleted it, and I just re downloaded it for him. His settings are still on. What do I do? There are no other options to move forward to the next stage.

Hi Scott, are you able to install addons? Once you have some addons installed, they should show up on the video addons page. I typed it in at the add ins page at the respiratory just like u said. To name a few. I get the no stream available more often then not. I also recieve a error message saying the some of my playback files arent working. Which doesnt tell me anything helpful. You tube still wont work and it takes forever for anything to even load.

Same problems even with the fresh copy of kodi. Hi Ian I upgraded to Your login attempts are just being rejected due to a lack of internet connection, the passwords themselves are still valid. To check, click the gear icon, then System. Do any of your other apps on the box have internet access?

Cannot get it open at all. I think the fastest way to get up and running again would be to completely reinstall Kodi and verify that each addon works, one at a time. Im only trying to use Kodi to stream from my NAS and have no addons installed other than come preloaded with Kodi and the confluence skin. At least once a day Kodi freezes meaning the only way to carry on is to force stop the app and reload. Any suggestions welcom. Hi there. When disabling hardware acceleration the zoom works — but H.

Do I need special hardware for being able to zoom AND accelerate playback or did I miss a special kodi setting? Thank you. Hi Cindy, do you mean in an addon or across all of Kodi?

Hi, Ian. This is what happened when I added The Crew to So, in effect, you cannot make up a list to add to Favourites, because there is no data! My problem is: my links to my individual TV shows do not work I click on the show and nothing at all happens — i. Movie links work fine, just not any TV shows. Just prior to this occurrence, the TV shows appeared with odd symbols e. This odd appearance was rectified when I cleared the cache. I have also cleared the Kodi cache. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated!

Best Regards. Thanks very much Ian for your prompt reply, I greatly appreciate it. Would you have the best URL to make sure you get the official Kodi repo? Also, within the official Kodi repo, is there an add-on that you would recommend for watching TV shows not live?

Hi, the official repo actually comes preinstalled. All you have to do is click Add-ons on the home screen, then select the box icon in the top-left, then choose Install addon from repository. You should then see the official Kodi repo in the list on the next page. I uninstalled and reinstalled Kodi Downloaded Exodus and Exodus Redux, both open up, I click on TV shows, Most Popular then the desired show , the two circles running for a second then nothing.

No seasons…. Hi Orshe, Exodus seems to be having problems lately — are you able to use any other addons? Hello Ian. We have been using Kodi It had started slowing down a bit so we updated it to Everything went smoothly.

The movies loaded much faster and with many more streams. Problem is that when we went to load one of our much watched TV shows we get some crazy looking coded list next to the title and when clicked nothing happens.

The movies play great, the TV shows will not play at all. We have uninstalled Kodi, losing all our favourites etc, and reloaded it along with trying new add ons. Same thing; great movie watching but absolutely no TV shows. Any ideas what the problem may be or what we may be able to do to correct it? Hi Thomas, it sounds like the addons you were using are the issue here. Can you try installing some from the official Kodi repository this comes preinstalled to check?

Ditto on not being able to get Exodus, Exodus Redux, or any other video addon to play or download anything. Was working fine yesterday. Hi Jeff, these addons are all forks of Exodus, which seems to be having some issues. Hi there, Exodus and Exodus Redux are not working for me. A movie or show starts and tries to play, then immediately crashes. Have you heard this? Hi Steve, I have had a few people saying the same thing lately — it looks like these addons have either moved or been taken down.

I added the Xanax build on Kodi through my firestick, and the majority of the movie streams are not working. What can I do to fix the problem? Hi Lee, we often hear about problems with Exodus and its many forks. I am having troubles with starting some live TV streams on my Android phone running Android I am using Kodi When the stream trys to finalize to play Kodi will shut down.

It happens on other streams as well while some streams will work just fine. I have done a factory reset on my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled kodi and deleted all files on my phone associated with Kodi prior to reinstall.

Hi Don — does the stream crash Kodi on all of your devices or just on Android? If you upload your log to pastebin. This happens a lot with older addons, since they either get taken down or move to a different address over time.

When I connect my WIFI it starts out great and after some time it goes into saved mode which screws everything up.

The time on the front of the box is correct but nothing works. Any ideas. Finally, if nothing else works, you can disable sleep mode entirely. Go into Developer options and enable the Stay Awake settings. I went through Applications and did clear cache and force stop with no results. I then restarted Fire TV and did the above again.

Still loading and disappearing. Any insight as to how I may be able to fix? Sorry to be a pain but I feel I have done everything possible to use box without success can yu give me soe expert advice for me I would seriously like to use thiss box as I feel it could be very good for TV films sports etc.

Hi, you mention that every build crashes — have you tried installing a completely fresh copy of Kodi? I have reinstalled a fresh Kodi about 10 times and used 3 different builds Misfits, No Limits, and Xanax Every time after force closing and reopening Kodi it crashes within seconds. Just to confirm, do fresh versions of Kodi work properly before you install the builds?

Can you trigger this error and then upload the log to pastebin so I can take a look? How can you watch movies without the builds? Do you have a video or any way of someone like me actually being walked through the whole process? Hi Darrell, builds are really just collections of Kodi addons. However, you can install addons yourself without much trouble. Ever ever since my boyfriend got a kodi box we have had issues loading movies and shows. It very frustrating cause we were told how great a product it is.

Hi Ian, thank you for this very helpful article. However, I have an issue not covered here. For the most part, all works well but a couple of times Kodi crashed when connected using remote desktop. I could open up again remotely and it was fine but not on the TV. When opening on the TV, a black window appears and then closes after a few seconds. I have tried removing the db files as mention and no change.

I have tried removing plugins but no change. I a have disabled hardware acceleration in the player settings. Hi Dennis, it definitely sounds like a graphics issue so turning off hardware acceleration was a smart decision.

Thanks Ian for your prompt reply. Actually it was on windows mode. Perhaps I should have tried full screen mode. Something interesting happened though. I was on remote mucking around with it and had trouble connecting to the PC remotely so I logged in locally via the TV screen and to my surprise, Kodi was still running. I checked the functions and all was working but my add-ons had gone — maybe because I had deleted the db files as you suggested to someone else previously.

I closed and re-started Kodi and it worked! I then copied back the original db files and restarted Kodi again and it worked! That kind of spec should be fine. As mentioned it works find over remote desktop and also with an external monitor. Hello, I was in touch a few weeks ago but my replies kept getting rejected from being posted again.

I tried everything and cannot get kodi to work on my android box, as an alternative, is it safe to install kodi with exodus etc. Thanks Phoebe. Hey our RVEAL box used kodi which gave us access to Apollo and Exodus and now after an update we cannot even access either of those two servers. Are they gone forever from access? Other people we know with them are still able to have access to everything. How can we get them again, if possible?

Today i completely uninstalled all addons, kodi etc. I have just now downloaded exodus redux and exodus, now it either will not stream at all, or it will stream for around 20 seconds and just kick me out. Any help would be massively appreciated. Hi Ian! So i got rid of everything, downloaded cartoon network, hopefully this is an official one, and still no luck.

Sorry im clueless! Hi Phoebe, you need to rename the. You are having the exact same issues as me. This kept continuing then I cleared everything and started again to find that exodus plays a film for 17 seconds then goes back to the stream links. I also using 5. Most Android boxes should be able to run Kodi without any issues, assuming your internet connection is fast enough.

Does the video stop so you can keep watching if you hit the play button or does it kick you back to the previous screen? I dont think my last reply actually posted. I did all steps Then restarted kodi, tried again played for 27 seconds then took me back to the previous menu again. Tried again, and the same thing. Check that your InputStream addon is installed and up-to-date. Try connecting your Android box to your router via Ethernet, if possible.

This way, we can rule out your internet speeds as a possible cause. Now, rename the folder to something else anything will do. Reinstall Kodi, install the YouTube addon, and see if the problem has been fixed.

If none of the above help, perhaps it is your device after all. Hopefully, one of the above tips will finally fix your problem. Ah okay great, my version of kodi is With this version and exodus redux it was playing for 10 seconds then kicking me back, on exodus it just doesnt play at all. Beforeee i updated it all, it was playing for 30 seconds, pausing, 30 seconds etc. The problem is that file navigation is usually a bit of a nuisance on Android boxes. Luckily, the Indigo addon has a factory restore option that should just reset everything anyway — hopefully this fixes your problem.

Hi, exodus redux was working fine, until last night, when all TV shows started showing up as no stream available. Movies appear to be there, but nothing plays. Any ideas as to what could be causing the problem? Hello, my Kodi apps like Exodus are working fine finding the shows and movies but upon opening up the window for playing it fails to open a new player window and embeds the player into the background of the search menu, if you try to go fullscreen it glitches until you close it.

This is only on my computer version of kodi lately for my mac desktop and not the one on my firestick on my tv is working fine. Hi there, this is a really strange issue — would you mind uploading a screenshot somewhere and replying with a link? Here is a dropbox link to a folder I created with several screenshots of the issue in motion. I can stop it by pressing the stop button- thanks for any help on this.

You might also want to want to compare the Kodi settings with one of your working devices to see if there are any major differences between the two. Exodus opened and froze I can not close the screen If I get out and go back it is still frozen I can do nothing. Is there a solution beyond reinstall? No movies too be selected This is happening for all my addons. Hi Mike, sounds like the addons have been moved or taken offline. I do have library auto-update set, so it does start to update my library, but as soon as this begins it freezes and closes.

I have spent a ton of time tweaking this and creating smart playlists and custom home screen buttons for these smart playlists and really do not want to have to start over. A few things to point out: 1. I do not have apps loaded, other than things required for the Titan Skin.

I have the same build on 4 different PCs and have everything tied together through my QNAP server so everything is synced up across all the PCs using mysql, and the three systems that I have checked are all crashing the same way 2 desktops and one surface pro.

The crash logs were blank for today, so no help there. I was able to restore an older Titan skin backup and that seemed to work fine, but when I try to update my library, it crashes. Auto library update is not currently setup with the backed up Titan skin, so I can open and close the system and play video files from all of my different data sources, but whenever I try to update the library it is crashing.

Is there a particular code segment within the guisetting file that I could tweak or delete that might allow the system to boot and still keep most of my settings, or something to look for that might fix this library updating issue? By any chance are you using the TVDB scraper?

It was indeed the issue with the TVDB scraper, so thank you very much for that tip. I had to kill my internet connection to my machine to bypass the autoupdate on start, and then change the setting and close Kodi before reactivating my internet.

After that, I had to go into my tv show video sources and change the content and change my scraper from TVDB to themoviedb, which then caused a refresh to occur. I will need to make some changes to my filebot renaming scripts to use themoviedb instead of TVDB. So any new episodes are going to be grouped into season 1, while everything else is still broken into the 5 seasons, unless I somehow rename everything to match themoviedb, losing all watched markers, etc.

So thank you once again for the info. Dear Support Kodi I tried locating cache and preferences files, but no success I used disk utility to clean paths etc. I also used CleanmyMac, free version I also downloaded it again and installed it by dragging to Applications, overwriting the older version Nothing helped…. Hi, can you try turning off hardware acceleration in the Kodi settings? Hello, the problem i have is when i play a film,TV series etc after secs i get returned to Kodi,the only way to eventually get it too function is to go into Settings-Apps-Kodi,then delete Cache,here it is alway I then go into Kodi and it works,though if i go back and repeat the steps as above it will have returned to Thank You.

Hi there, this seems to be quite a common issue! Some people have reported that changing their audio output device and disabling DXVA2 fixed the problem. You might also want to try disabling hardware acceleration just in case.

Ian thank you i will try a factory reset,,i only run 3 addons and this problem occurred before i got them. Many Thanks for you help. I looked for OJ: Made in America.

No subtitles found. I looked for One Bad Choice. Frustrated, I looked for Harry Potter. Now I know something is wrong. When I do a manual search, no results. I have installed and configured OpenSubtitles. I logged into the site and then entered my credentials in the player.

I set my language to English. The quickest and easiest solution is to completely reinstall a fresh version of Kodi. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again? I am finding this everytime I try to follow instructions to do something the instructions and what is showing on the screen are different.

Hopefully this will resolve the problem but if not, a clean reinstall might be the easiest way to get back on track.

Ninety percent of links will not load, and s buffer, stutter and crash, although s loaded and played fine in the past. Tried upgrading Kodi to Leia. Hardware acceleration is off; updates are current. No hardware changes. Network speed shows as excellent on Firestick. Hey Stewart were you able to fix problem with add-on taking you back to home screen? I am having the same problem, every time I scroll down to add-ones on my firestick it freezes for like 2 sec.

I have cleared my cache several times but still hasnt resolved the issue. I am using Krypton Hi Stewart, are you using a build by any chance? Hi Lauri, there are a couple of things we can do that might fix this issue. Now try using Kodi again — with a bit of luck, the problem will be gone. Hi Annie, can you try playing video on a few official addons? I tried to uninstall and reinstall Kodi as well as exodus and still no luck..

Perhaps it needs updating or has been taken offline. Also have a 16 GB SD card in the unit shows About a week ago, the box booted up just fine. Selected to include add-ons. Everything went fine and Kodi started. Went to Exodus and it seemed to hang up. When nothing happened after that, I clicked the Home buton on the remote. When the home screen did not load, I clicked the Off button on the remote. Waited about 5 minutes and tried again. This time, XBMC box booted fine.

I figured this was to indicated the box was connected to an communicating via the internet. Now, I only see that blue light flicker for about 2 seconds and only when I first turn on the box.

The ethernet icon is gone. I have to reboot the box to get it connected back to the internet. It appeared to download but I cannot find it anywhere to install it. Is my box shot? Do I need a newer one with a more up to date version of Android. Should I download and reinstall Kodi?

Really hoping you might have some idea of what I can do. Thanks so much for your time. Hi Gene, thanks for including a step-by-step explanation of what went wrong — it really helps! My apologies for not getting some sort of reply back to you sooner. And I thank you for your comments.

I also wanted to let you know where I was at now and get your thoughts. So instead of doing that, I just kept trying to get it to start. After the status bar made it across the screen, the screen would go black for a few seconds and then display the main menu. After the status bar mad it across the screen, the screen went black and then the TVAddons screen display and then Kodi displayed.

After about 10 minutes, I tried to go into a menu but it seemed to be frozen, even though there was a marquee scrolling across the bottom. But only partially. What would you recommend? If Krypton, would you have a URL for a reliable source? So when I upgrade my Javis to another version, do I lose everything and have to reinstall all the different repositories and addons? I should stop there before I wear out my welcome.

Thank you again for your help. Any suggestions or recommendations are greatly appreciated! However, given that one of them is causing major issues and some appear to be broken , I think a fresh start might be best. The important thing is that you install new addons slowly, making sure each works before adding another. This will allow you to install new addons directly instead of messing around with sources and repositories. Hope your Labor Day weekend was a good one. I got the XBMC box from a friend.

During a visit, I noticed he was watching a movie that had just been released. I asked how he was doing that and he pointed to the box. I asked if he could get me one. When I started the box for the first time, it brought up the main XBMC screen, I clicked the Kodi menu and the next thing on the screen was something called Merlin. So the box was working fine from to I vaguely remember seeing a message on the screen that the change was required and I had to accept it.

I think I may have deleted it due to having it constantly popup when using Kodi. You recommended doing any kind of upgrade to Krypton and instead suggested I remove my current Jarvis version and install the latest Leia version. I deleted about 25 and must have picked a good one because after shutting Kodi down, upon clicking the Kodi icon from the man menu, it started right up.

This time it went right to the TVAddons screen. And all the addons I had deleted were still deleted! And the scrolling marquee message changed from a message to August !!

For movies, none of the addons provided any streams. Before doing that a question. Can my current version of Kodi Jarvis 16 be updated to the newest version Leia On the kodi.

How can I identify which version I should download to my box? Or does Leia come with addons already installed? Sorry for the long reply.

Was really hoping to get this fixed without the deleting process. But need to move forward. Thank you so much for your patience and time with me. It is greatly appreciated. If everything works as intended, you can just uninstall Jarvis afterward anyway. I have been using Kodi for a few years now. I have just upgraded to In the past, I would always use Ares Wizard to make a complete back up for my firestick. Save the zip file from using ES File Explorer to the cloud and then copy the zip file to all of the firesticks in my home.

I learn that Ares Wizard will no longer allow you to back up your configuration once you install kodi 18 and higher. Ares Wizard will not allow you to select a destination folder path. Once you select the destination path and select ok, it will revert back to no location selected.

Any recommendations on a backup solution similar to Ares Wizard? Or another way I can easily back up my configuration on one firestick and transfer it to another firestick? You should be able to transfer the files to and from your PC in exactly the same way as before.

Hopefully this should fix the issue. Ok, no problem. Hi Ian, I have the same problem with Kodi The only other posts I can find with the same problem all relate to low-powered devices like Fire Sticks or Raspberry Pis. Are your graphics drivers up to date? Also, did you reboot Kodi after turning off hardware acceleration?

If not, great, but if it affects both versions, the issue is likely your hardware. Hi, so i have Kodi I also cant update to Hi Lee-Anne, does this happen with every addon you use?

Then, in Kodi, check the settings to see if hardware acceleration is enabled. If so, turning it off might fix the problem. Dear Ian, I have tried so many times to find the answer and can not find the answer and anyone to help me. I have a Kodi It is a little small black box…on the Home screen I click on the Kodi. It worked find when I purchased it and installed it.

I used it for about a year…then changed televisions and did not reconnect. Not until today March 30, did I reconnect it to my T. Everything comes up fine.

HOWEVER, when I go Videos and click on a anything such as a movie channel it goes to a screen where it list several items, I click on any one of them and then the screen comes up with nothing listed on it.. An error.. Pls help! Hi Susan, this is actually quite a common issue. Can you try installing some addons from the official Kodi repository and see if they have the same problem?
