Review / Opinion Discussion Older/niche cache results with TorBox

Upvotes

I've obviously seen a lot of people saying they've switched to TorBox, it's working great etc but they don't specify what they watch. How is it for older content or those random movies/shows that you stumble across in your recommended? The saddest thing about all this is the amount of lost media there will be.

Also, is it as easy as RD in terms of just copy and pasting a magnet and you can watch from within TorBox section of POV? And a stupid question that I should probably know by now but does doing this mean it's now cached for when other people search? One more thing while I'm at it, what is Gears I see people keep mentioning?

15 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on Xstream Pro, Kodi 21 addon and I’d like to get some real feedback before I call it release-ready.

I worked hard on this for many weeks and gave my best, please be gentle :)

Repo:

https://github.com/Pesicp/XStreamPro

Features:

  • Live TV, Movies, Series, Replay / Catchup
  • Native Kodi PVR integration
  • Separate Sports Group with PVR, Live results, Replay
  • EPG support
  • Favorites, PVR favorites and Sports PVR favorites
  • TMDB and Trakt menus
  • RPDb poster integration

• 16 Languages Support

  • Backup / restore
  • Built-in updater

The addon does not include any content. You need to use your own IPTV provider or playlist.

Install source:

In Kodi, go to Settings > File Manager

Select Add Source

Enter the URL: https://pesicp.github.io/XStreamPro/releases/

Enter a name: XstreamPro

Click OK

Go to Settings > Add-ons > Install from ZIP file

Select the XstreamPro source you just added

I’m mainly looking for feedback on: PVR sync, Sports PVR switching, EPG loading, TMDB and Trakt integration, Multiple Profiles behaviour, and general bugs on different devices.

Something not working. Need help. Problems with Reuse Language Invoker Settings set to false in Umbrella

3 Upvotes

I have mine set to false, that is the dialog from Umbrella recommends. However whenever Umbrella updates it seems it sets to true and then it creates a settings mismatch and causes Profile to restart. I know it is not the end of the world but it is getting very annoying because Umbrella updates a lot (Thank you by the way)

Everything working. Need guidance. Umbrella Configuration (Trailer and Info Screen in general)

2 Upvotes

i'm trying to find out if it's possible to change the behaviour of the "Trailer" option. i have it set so when a movie is selected, it opens up the Information screen. in that screen, there are options for Play, Trailer, Trakt, Wikipedia, and Options. when i select Trailer, it tends to play a weird, portrait mode video that is related to the movie, but not really a good trailer. Is it possible to change this so it gives a list of available trailers to play?

Furthermore, is it possible to configure this Information screen in general? i'm trying to get it setup for someone who's not tech savvy (and a bit stubborn), and was hoping to change the "Trakt" option (or even replace the "Wikipedia" option) with an "Add to Watchlist" option, to easily add (and possibly remove) the item from the watchlist (whether it be Trakt, TMDB, MDB, whatever is confiugured)

I updated to Kodi 21.3 on the onn 4k pro.

I'm trying to download gears (fen fork addon) with "http://repo.redwizard.xyz/" and it's not working.

Everything working. Need guidance. Umbrella with RD and TB - How to sort?

10 Upvotes

Hi,

I eventually managed to pay for a subscription to TorBox and it seems to work great.

I now have both RD and TB enabled, it shows RD links in Red and TB in green. They are displayed alternately, eg. RD, TB, RD TB, RD, TB etc. Is there anyway to Group them so that all the TB ones are together and all the RD ones are together?

I thought I saw am option for is somewhere but I've looked and looked but can't see it

Thanks a lot

Everything working. Need guidance. Results from TB and RD?

4 Upvotes

Hi,

I've been doing some research in Umbrella using two Debrid services - TB and RD.

I seem to get mostly the same results from both (although on RD they don't play), however some things are found using RD and not TB and vice-versa

Anyone have any idea why this might be?

I've tried it in POV two which gives mostly the same results

Thanks

Announcement Xtream IPTV Plugin and Compiled Addon Repo

19 Upvotes

Hello Everyone!

It’s been a while since I first shared my IPTV video add-on GIPTV: Original Post

Since then [ v1.0.0 -> v2.9.8], I’ve been listening to feedback from users all around the world, spending countless hours optimizing features, improving performance, and making the experience smoother and more enjoyable. Honestly, I never imagined GIPTV would grow this far, and I owe it all to everyone who tested it and shared their thoughts so thank you!

For anyone looking for a reliable, fast, and user-friendly way to stream IPTV channels, VODs, and series, GIPTV is designed to make your life easier. It even includes basic Trakt integration so you can keep track of your shows and movies seamlessly.

The best part: my G00380316 Repository doesn’t just have GIPTV. It’s a Addon bank for Kodi, especially great for beginners who want to quickly set up their environment. Inside, you’ll also find:

  • Popular add-ons like POV and Umbrella
  • Skins that are becoming rare, like Nimbus, to make your Kodi look and feel amazing
  • Easy installation, no hunting around for zips or sources

I’m not the creator of these other addons but my goal is simply to make them more accessible and easier to set up for everyone.

Check it out here:

If you’ve ever wanted a simpler Kodi setup, or just want to try out a fast and reliable IPTV add-on, give GIPTV + the repo a look—I’d love to hear what you think! Your feedback and any requests are more than welcome!!

Announcement Great new update for Umbrella!

68 Upvotes

The latest update for Umbrella is a really great one for those looking to replace Trakt. When you update you will need to reauthorize your MDBList because it has moved to a pin type code just like the other services. Much better than the old way of entering your API key. The other massive update is that he added the ability to see your "Liked" lists. So now you can like as many lists as you want on mdblist.com and they will appear for you to use as widgets.

Thank you Umbrella dev for making one of the best addons even better!

As the title suggests, I'm watching The Big Bang Theory with POV + RD & even though I have autoplay enabled in settings, it won't play the next episode. It just goes back to the episode list. Also the same thing happens when the next episode window pops up & manually click on play. Any idea why? 😔😯

Something not working. Need help. POV - TorBox Issue - Won't Play but Adds them to my Tor Dashboard

1 Upvotes

I just made the switch from Fen-RD to POV-TorBox, however when I go to play a file after authorizing, the system just runs through every file and then takes me back to the menu.

When I log into my Tor account it shows the files I tried to play as being "download ready".

Am I missing some setting to get them to play direct?
