I have received a few requests for different options aside from trakt. above is a quick comparison of the bigger tracker sites and how they compare to my understanding.

publicmetadb has an api that has just about everything needed. but no pin code authorization.

flicklist.tv was an almost drop-in trakt replacement I had for Salts Redux. it seems the client id I had is no longer, but maybe thats because I stopped working on it. there is a fen fork that utilizes it here: https://github.com/maccb/FL

anything else, wetrakr/punchplay/dejavu and the likes do not have public apis (last I checked). so they may have their own kodi addons, but they are are not replacement options for current addons.

*note that free mdblist has a limit of 1000 api requests per day. so if you are going to do what everyone did with trakt and have 6 kodi addons running a background service pulling all the same data separately every time there was a change, that might create a problem.

**simkl website says personal lists are part of their v2 api. "They’re served by Simkl V2 Beta, an in-development backend that isn’t publicly callable yet. There is no public endpoint to read, create, or modify Custom Lists, and no firm ETA."

Hi,

I'd love to dump Trakt, the only reason I haven't is because I have 1000's of watched movies and shows already marked as watched in Trakt.

Is there anyway to transfer all the history to anther tracking service?

Thanks

Just installed POV and was looking for where I could change the trakt API code to my personal codes. Is it just not there?

Where can I find the free add source

I’ve been using the same Amazon Fire TV box since around 2014 (the first-generation model), and it’s honestly served me incredibly well. I’ve been running Kodi on it for years with very few issues.
The only downsides these days are that it’s starting to feel a bit slow, and it can struggle with some 4K streams. Other than that, it’s been rock solid.
I think it’s finally time for an upgrade, so I’m looking for recommendations. My main use is Kodi, so I’d like something that’s:
Fast and responsive.
Handles 4K content smoothly.
Reliable for long-term use.
Good value for money.
What are you all using these days, and what would you recommend for someone whose primary use is Kodi?
Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm Giladg - the Trakt list creator behind many of the lists you've probably used over the years.

If you've been thinking about trying TorBox, I'd really appreciate it if you signed up using my referral link. It doesn't cost you anything extra, and it helps me earn credits that I use to keep testing, maintaining, and improving the lists and tools I share with the community.

PM me for the Link

Thanks to everyone who's supported my lists over the years - it really means a lot, and every referral helps!

A few of my Trakt lists:
Latest Releases
Latest 4K Releases
Latest Dolby Vision
Latest Stand-up Comedy

Is there a way in POV to add the movies/shows to the Kodi library like in Umbrella ?

Trakt are slowly (quickly,) destroying themselves.

Just be aware people,

Hello!

EDIT for those who might Google this later: Kodi does not seem to have a satisfactory solution for the NFL, but because I'm running kodi on NixOS, not LibreELEC, it hopefully shouldn't be too hard for me to set up Waydroid (an Android emulator), install the NFL+ app on that, and hopefully be able to watch on my TV that way. Clunky, but acceptable if it works.

-----

I'm absolutely thrilled with my Kodi setup so far, after help from this community.

The only thing I'd like to get working is NFL + Premium, which used to be called Gamepass. There used to be an NFL Gamepass addon for kodi, but it's been discontinued.

Is there a reliable way to watch NFL + Premium on Kodi? Thanks!

Edit: Is there a plugin that would let me re-stream it from my desktop? That would work.

I'm using the Umbrella, POV and Red Light addons synced with Trakt. In my favorites folder I use the info wall view and I have the poster of the TV series I'm watching and above it I have what I refer to as the "episode counter" which displays episodes watched/remaining. For example, 11/20. My question is is this "episode counter" coming from Kodi or Trakt? I ask because I just read Trakt is going to restrict users to authorizing to 1 addon unless you pay for the VIP subscription. I'm currently using 4 addons on my account and I'm not sure if I'll be grandfathered in or if I have to change to 1 in the near future. Anyway, I'm wondering if I use SIMKL only will I still have this "episode counter"? I don't want to unauthorize Trakt to test it out for fear of not being able to reauthorize it again. Thank in advance.

What premium addons are people using with RD right now that’s not POV? I know a lot of people have good luck with POV but all I get are bootleg streams that look like they were shot from a Nokia brick phone, keep getting a RD removed something error message of the crew, haven’t found a good substitute since fenlight am went down

I'm grabbing movies and placing them on an external drive. Every few months I clear some files and add some more. To watch content, I typically just open Kodi (on a Shield TV), navigate to Videos and then Files, to view what's on the drive. Currently, this is just a list view. How do I get Kodi to grab artwork and display a more aesthetic view?

Umbrella is not returning any results all of a sudden. I'm using torbox for my debrid services.

POV still working fine, just umbrella that's stopped working.

Any idea what might be up? Uninstall/reinstall? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Kodi 21.3 on shield Pro running v6.7.81​​​​​ of umbrella. ​​

Is there any possible way that I can edit or create new viewtypes in Arctic Fuse 3 skin as I want to use the poster wall for my movies hub and ideally have a text box to the top right showing a description of the content, run-time and ideally ratings but mostly for the former 2 items. I've scrolled through every available option in POV, TMDBHelper and the skin settings and had no luck so far

I have an Nvidia Shield Pro and I use Kodi with The Crew add-on and Real Debrid.

I discovered today that RD is playing up so I signed up with Torbox.

I decided to try downloading a couple of movies instead of streaming them. I've got an old 4TB WD Passport HDD that I thought I'd use. I hooked it up to my Shield and the drive got formatted and I downloaded a file explorer in readiness.

So, I got the links for the movies in The Crew and clicked on download. I got a notification every 10% until the movies had got to 100% and the downloads were complete.

But... I can't find the movies ANYWHERE?

In the download settings of The Crew the destination is shown as WD USB drive then special//storage/4030-BCA3. But I have absolutely no idea where this location is?

I've used a file explorer on my Shield and cannot find the two movies I downloaded. On the file explorer and in the Shield settings it still says I have 4.0TB available but in File Manager the WD USB drive is showing as 3.64TB. But that would mean I've used 360GB, but both movies I downloaded were about 20GB?

I have looked EVERYWHERE to find the movies but I can't and it's driving me NUTS.

I found something regarding Torbox that said The Crew shows a file has downloaded but it actually hasn't?

I've tried everything and have no idea?

Can anyone help...???

I'm using Umbrella, POV and the Red Light addons. I also switch up between Coco Scrapers, Magneto and Gears as external scrapers. Is it possible in any of those addons to add filters to one debrid service and not another? I still have 4 months remaining with RD. I also use Torbox, but it still has some things to work out. Is there a way have filters on RD such as web dl, but not on Torbox links when I scrape sources? Thanks in advance.

My main KODI box has two profiles. When I added the second profile a few weeks ago, I enabled the active profile name to be displayed in the header.

I'm setting up a KODI box for my friend who has a family, and I'm setting up multiple profiles and I can't for the life of me find the option to display the active profile's name in the header on either box.

Was the option for this feature removed or dissabled in an update or am I just blind?

I use Nimbus and love the skin. Looks amazing and easy to setup. I notice that my widgets take quite a while to populate. I use Trakt lists some POV directories for my widgets. I authorized my Trakt but should I be using my API keys as well? for TMDB and Trakt.

Good evening could someone please tell me if it's recommended to have "preload hubs during start up initialisation" on or off, I've already got the hide widget one enabled but I'm not sure what hubs are exactly or if I'm even using them, I've just got a side menu with movie, show, trakt sections pointing at widgets.

Many thanks

What do you all think is a skin that strikes that balance well?

A customizable home menu would be the primary feature I care about.

Hi everyone, I'm brand new to Kodi so sorry for any ignorance. I'm running Bingie using local files only (scraping with tiny media manager). I'd really like to add these features:

1. A rotation of posters for each movie selected randomly from my folder
2. Two fanart images for each movie - fanart 1 shows up while browsing, fanart 2 appears on the details screen when you select a movie

Are these possible within Kodi/Bingie or with other addons? Thank you

Can anyone please tell me by telling me how i disable the discover function when using the search tab, it's something I'm personally not a fan of. Many thanks

Looking for the remaining POV search strings to use in Arctic Fuse 3 home screen search. The ones I need are people search and MDBlist list search.

To use these, replace the path entry in the search widget settings.

** Thank you for the help kodifitzwell **

I appreciate that it's still very early days for this fork of Seren by Goldenfreddy, but I have to say, it looks very promising. I have it set up with Torbox, and I'd signed up to Simkl many months ago, so I'd already imported all my Trakt and Anime watch lists over to that, so the initial set-up of Prism was pretty painless. Anyone who's used the Seren Addon in the past will find the process very familiar.

The updated a4kScrapers worked well (the a4k URL can be found at Goldenfreddy's GitHub), and searches pulled many results. Prism has categories for Movies, TV shows, and Anime, so there's something for everyone in it.

The only thing that I feel needs a bit more work are the lists that appear in categories like 'new releases' etc, because the lists that appear within the category don't seem to be relevant to the category title. For example, under new releases in the movies section, there was only one new release and the rest of the list contained much older movies. I'm not sure if this is a Simkl issue or a Prism issue.

Other than that I have no complaints and I'm looking forward to watching this addons development.

Many thanks to Goldenfreddy
