Best Kodi Addons (Free Movies, TV, Sports)

Maybe time to try a new addon. Umbrella and POV are working great right now with different Debrid options in each one.
And, Welcome to this great community

welcome

Is there another one that runs like releasebb? I like that it’s in real time. All the other addons are almost the same, same shows, just vanilla🫤

Check your debrid accounts. I just downloaded and authorized Premiumize and was able to play a movie and a tv show. I may have gotten lucky that the first movie link i selected played. I needed to check a few links for a tv show to play.

Also check your version. I have 2.1.3 installed.

What do you mean “In real time”? Its not live tv.

And Welcome to TroyPoint!

Can anyone tell me where to find Brit Box? I’ve got several add ons but can’t find it anywhere. Thanks y’all

It’s not an addon, it’s a streaming site.

I finally dived into Kodi today to see first hand if I want to embrace it or not. Here’s what I encountered. I’m hoping some of you Kodi veterans can weigh in.

In case it matters, I have the Buzz 6 Unlimited (Android 13) so I installed the latest 64 bit version from Troy’s Toolbox. I have good internet, via Ethernet. I never have problems playing Stremio streams or IPTV, and I do use a VPN, usually set to a server in the US.

I followed Troy’s recent video, “The 4 Best Kodi Add-ons” to a TEE and everything installed just fine (Umbrella, Coco, Loop, DaddyLive). Even though his live TV streams played just perfectly for him in the video, I always get the pop up, “Playback Failed,” but I knew I’d probably not choose Kodi for live TV anyway. On to movies…

First, the default display resolution Kodi decided for me is 1920x1080 but that’s not true. I have a 4K TV so the resolution should be 3840x2160. There’s no way to manually change this, even after changing my settings status from Basic to Expert. Not sure if the resolution setting makes an impact or not.

All I know is, whenever I choose a 4K movie in Umbrella (using Real Debrid), every single stream stutters and freezes so bad it’s virtually impossible to watch, I tried different movies. I thought this had to do with the 1080 resolution Kodi forced on me in the settings, but the same thing happens with 1080 streams. Why won’t a movie play normally for me? Does Umbrella behave this way sometimes or is it something on my end? Does my VPN need to be set to a specific server area, etc.?

I have a Mecool KM7 Plus and I use Kodi daily with Umbrella and Real Debrid. I do not have a single problem with anything playing. I installed Kodi from the Google play store and then Umbrella and Coco scrapers per Troy’s instructions. I use IPVanish set to Chicago and using WireGuard protocol. I am using Kodi Version 21.1 and Umbrella version 2.2.6. My Kodi resolution is set for 1080P. I do not have a 4K television. I have no real idea what is happening in your situation. The only thing I can think of is incompatible Kodi version with Unbrella version or a bad download. I would try to uninstall and re-install Kodi and Umbrella and Coco Scrapers. Unfortunately, I have no other suggestions. Hopefully someone else will chime in with some ideas.

Are you selecting your source to watch or is it set to auto play? Also what is you internet speed?

You may be watching, for example, an 80GB movie link and its slowing up your streaming. All the high end audio etc.

I try to keep my selections to about 20gb. Using a onn 4k pro most of the time with over 130 mbps speeds. Never have a problem.

It does seem odd that Stremio and IPTV are working fine but Kodi not so good.

Just curious, do you have Analiti, or something similar, to check your download speed? If not I would suggest starting there to see what your actual speed is, as mentioned by JPM69.

Also, just a shot in the dark, but have you tried using wifi instead of ethernet?

Zebra3 · 2025-05-03T02:37:11.433Z

This is all great feedback. Tomorrow when I’m able to play around with this again I’ll check my speed, and consider trying Wi-Fi instead of Ethernet. I know my speed is dramatically lower with my VPN on but I have no problems at all streaming with Stremio so I didn’t think I’d require increased speed for Kodi. I also wonder if Umbrella isn’t ready to play nice with the 64 bit version of Kodi and maybe I should use the 32 bit version instead…?

Regardless, I’m new at Kodi so I’m still learning overall.

Thanks! I’ll report back.

JerryJ · 2025-05-03T03:09:01.908Z

Just curious so please indulge me. I have not tried Stremio, but from what I hear from my, highly trusted, very good friend in Canada, is that Stremio is the cats meow and Kodi is meh. Are you messing around with Kodi to just broaden horizons or is it more of a curiousity thing?

Avid08 · 2025-05-03T07:21:43.108Z

To manually change resolution.
System > Display = Ensure correct resolution is set.
Also I would think the P6 has a gigabit Ethernet port, so I personally would use Ethernet unless you have super fast fibre over 2gb connection.
I can stream large remux movies over 150gb in size on Kodi without issue and my connection is 910mb.

@Zebra3 …i am not a Kodi user, but i read (and try to understand) alot here on this site, so i’m just gonna throw this out there and if you haven’t done this and it helps then yea , if not then no harm no foul…So you said-- (using Real Debrid)–but have have you authorized it in Kodi ? this step seems to be often overlooked, along with Real Debrid not being expired…

MarkxG · 2025-05-03T12:29:29.794Z

Long time KODI user (Since 2018). Currently using Umbrella in a Build with ONN 4K Pro on 300 MB Wireless - NO VPN here. Not sure why 1080P is coming up as default for you? When there is 4K that is always the first streams. Did you manually change your resolution settings? I never mess with any of those settings. If there are 4K sources they are always top of Real Debrid list in most Addons. This is definitely something going on your end as Umbrella has been working flawlessly for several months.

Avid08 · 2025-05-03T12:52:16.564Z

I had xbmc on the first Xbox.
That was my first experience of it and seems like a long time ago now lol.
It still has a strong community and some great devs that do it all for free.

BillyWilliam · 2025-05-03T15:41:37.329Z

Zebra3, as far as speed goes, I had to use ipvanish’s split tunneling.

Zebra3 · 2025-05-03T16:53:02.245Z

Both. I’m also a huge Stremio fan but just want to see what Kodi is like so I have first hand experience to draw from. Plus it’s something new to learn.

Zebra3 · 2025-05-03T16:54:47.154Z

Oh it’s defaulting to 4K. I just couldn’t get any of the streams to play without incredible stuttering and freezing, so I scrolled down to see if the 1080p streams would play better, but I was surprised to see they didn’t. I’m going to work on this to try and get to the bottom of it.
