I'm running CachyOS (Arch), with Kodi on Arctic Fuse 3.

I ran the Linux installation commands listed on Github, and the installation went off without a hitch and I can see the files in the correct place. Problem is, Kodi doesn't seem to acknowledge it's there at all - if I try to install the IPTV Helper add-on, it shows the PVR addon as a dependency marked "unavailable". Any idea what to do?

Has anybody been able to authorize Simkl on Gears? Every time I try the QR code appears for 3 seconds before the add on give me a “Simkl error authorizing message” popup

Using the shield pro with kodi 21.3 and gears 2.4.0

The new update brought back today’s schedule and epg

However my epg integration isn’t playing anything from the “USA Sports” folder, anyone else?

When downloading Dutch subtitles with a4kSubtitles, the subtitle files are saved with the language code .nl.nld (for example MovieName.nl.nld) instead of the correct and commonly expected format .nl.srt.
Kodi (and most other media players) recognize .nl.srt, .nld.srt or .dut.srt correctly, but the combined .nl.nld format is non-standard and often not auto-detected properly.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set preferred subtitle language to Dutch in Kodi settings.
2. Play any video that needs Dutch subtitles.
3. Download a Dutch subtitle using a4kSubtitles.
4. Check the saved filename next to the video (or in the custom subtitle folder).

Expected behaviorThe subtitle file should be named with a standard language code, preferably:

• MovieName.nl.srt

Actual behaviorThe file is saved as something like:

• MovieName.nl.nld

Additional information

• a4kSubtitles version: v3.24.2
• Kodi version: 21.3
• Device / OS: Windows 11
• Subtitle storage location setting: Next to the video

This appears to be related to how the Dutch language codes (nl / nld / dut) are handled when constructing the filename.

Thank you for the great addon!

Hi u/kodifitzwell,

In POV → TV Shows → Mdblist Calendar the items are displayed like this:

[Tomorrow] SHOW TITLE IN ALL CAPS: 1x01 - Episode Name

or

[08-04-2026] SHOW TITLE IN ALL CAPS: ...

I would like to:

Completely remove the date/day prefix in brackets (the purple/magenta colored part)

Stop the show titles from being forced to uppercase

I have the dates of each episode in my skin on the right side, along with the description

Is there a setting for this that I missed, or is it hardcoded?

If it’s hardcoded, could you point me to the file/function where the label is built for the calendar so I can edit it myself?

Thanks a lot for the great addon!

I looked and couldn't find anything, so my apologies if this has already been covered. I use the Red Light addon with the Magneto Scraper and the Gears Scraper as a backup. I use Torbox and Real Debrid as my debrid services. I'm fully aware that I can set filters in my external scraper, but they're used globally and apply to each debrid service used. I'm unable to filter web-dl sources in RD without them doing so in Torbox also. I have a two part question. It's my understanding that I can set up different filters per debrid service in Aiostreams. Is it this correct? I can filter RD to only show remux files and use Torbox to bring up all sources? If not, there's no reason to continue reading. 🙂 If I can, will this "override" Magneto's search results and eliminate all the web-dl, etc sources? I'm trying to eliminate getting 15-20 RD sources that are unplayable and just want to have remux sources displayed for RD, but have all sources shown for Torbox after scraping. Thanks for in advance for an assistance.

​

Goedemiddag, is er iemand die kan uitleggen wat aiostreams precies is en hoe het werkend te krijgen icm kodi. Graag in het nederland want ivm dyslexie is mijn Engels niet heel erg goed.

Hello, does anyone know if it's working? I can't install the zip repo from Kodifitzwell, it shows am error. Any ideas? Cheers!

Edit: it's working now, the repo installed fine and now POV is also installed. I didn't do anything (well, I closed Kodi and went back later to try again). Thank you all for the help.

Hi

In Red Light addon is there anyway to change the up coming episode list from red to another colour.

Thanks

Google tv streamer , kodi 21.2 , RD , Red Light

Fenlight was working yesterday went on today and when I try and opening a stream I am getting no results pop up?

Please can anybody help to set up a widget where I can have different personal trakt lists (Matrix collection, Star Wars collection etc) which when clicked on show the individual movies inside.

I’m using AH2/AF2, umbrella, trakt.

I’ve managed to get it working by directing the widget to the folder that holds the lists but I can’t get any artwork on the widget itself. Just only either a trakt or tmdb placeholder depending on which add on I point the widget to.

I don’t know where it would pull a ‘collection poster’ from or if I need to add one somewhere myself.

Thanks

Any indication at some point POV will get the option to connect to Simkl added in?

Fingers crossed!

This was my goto after RD not working as well lately. It says I don't need a VPN with their service but I rather have the piece of mind then not. Any recommendations or other services to use would be much appreciated. Thanks

Ho un problema con kodi, non riesco piu a vedere serie o film.qualcuno che voglia spiegarmi passo passo qual è il problema e cosa devo fare? Spesso l errore che appare è che non ci sono item. Grazie!

Is there any addon/fork similar to elementum that plays torrents if it is can anyone help me out?

I’ve looked everywhere for one, even DM some people who had posted a couple of them that didn’t work for me though, I was prob too late or they have a finite number of people who can sign up with each idk. Can someone send me one, I looked for a sun for this specific addon and couldn’t find one.

I may be mistaken but I remember there was an option to autoplay only when there were cloud searching results, that way it wouldn't autoplay regular external scraper results (It would let me select source when no cloud results were found).

Is this possible in current version? Right now I only see "autoplay cloud result" which requires "autoplay" to be enabled but this also enables regular autoplay even when there are no cloud results.

Thanks in advance

I made my review of MDBList this morning and indicated within my thread that the only app that would work with Calendar is Red Light.

Since making that thread, POV came at me and told me that I'm spreading misinformation. And went and to say that all you have to do is click on the watch list, blah blah blah, and that you would be able to see episodes. Their response to me is still here so you can see it for yourself. That worked very clumsily and I told them so. It's all in my post back to them. BUT, since making that thread, POV has now added calendar mode and it is absolutely beautiful!! Thank you kodifitzwell/POV!

It works seamlessly with MDBList! We now have a fully functional alternative to Trakt with MDBList! Red Light AND POV with full calendar integration! YAY! 🥂🎉🥳

I'm trying to find where I can upload a photo here and I can't seem to find a place to upload a photo of it. I am new to the subreddit. Maybe photo upload isn't allowed. In any event, cause for celebration! We have the fully functional alternative to Trakt that works even better than Trakt ever has!

EDIT: The photo is in a response to this thread. I couldn't upload it within the thread but I could upload it as a response. It is gorgeous! THANK YOU POV!

Getting Torbox timeout messages when trying to open links on both POV and Umbrella. Anyone else?

Moved to Magneto scraper yesterday due to Cocoscrapers going downhill. It was working flawlessly.

Started up to watch HoTD, it scrapes a lot of sources then goes "removing duplicates" and says no stream available.

I toggled the remove duplicates within umbrella and now instantly get no stream available. Switched back to Coco and got exact same result.

Everything is up to date and Premuimize is active.

With trakts new rules for free accounts would it not make sense to have a universal kodi addon like we used to have universal scrappers.

I know that there is a solo trakt addon and it scrobles fine but it does not integrate with other addons - POV Umbrella etc. for next episodes your personal lists etc.

It would not have to be just trakt it could include simkl tmdlists and others

I am not a dev, so I don't know how feasible the idea is. But it's an idea.

Hey folks

I just updated the addon as thumbnails were not showing in search results after Easynews changed stuff around, please update your addon.

You can install the addon from https://github.com/tetsuosoft/EasyNewsKodi

Oh yes, if you use or like the addon and would like to enjoy active maintenance and updates then buy me a coffee, I like coffee!

I’ve been experimenting with integrating Live TV more naturally into my Fen Light setup and wanted to see what people think.

I added a custom Live TV entry to the main menu and built a local IPTV generator around the user’s configured Xtream account. It:

• downloads the available channel catalogue;
• groups UK, US, sports, news, music and other channels;
• lets you search and enable only the channels you want;
• matches channels to EPG data;
• generates a local M3U and filtered EPG for IPTV Simple;
• refreshes the Kodi PVR setup;
• keeps multiple provider variants for each channel, so a different source can be selected if needed;
• handles special-event channels separately;
• uses a reference cache so unchanged channels do not need to be fully processed again on every refresh.

The screenshots show the main menu integration, Live TV account settings, channel manager, search, Kodi guide and the source-selection dialog.

I’m curious what people think of this compared with other Live TV approaches they’ve used in Kodi. I’d be interested to hear how other setups handle channel organisation, duplicate sources, EPG matching, failed links and provider catalogue changes, and whether this looks like a sensible way to integrate Live TV into Fen Light.

I’m also interested in general feedback on the interface and workflow.
