How to Install Dream TV Addon on Kodi (One Click Live TV)

You don’t need RD or any debrid with this addon. Thats the beauty of it.

Its its own mini kodi build. Live tv with international, movies, tv shows and sports.

Granted its has some viewing limitations but its pretty damn good.

Whatever is available on their servers is accessible to you.

I understand that but there are plenty of builds and addons that work by themselves but RD or some other debrid service always made them pull up more streams and just thought the same thing might be of Dream TV. So far I have no qualms about it, it’s pretty fast with no buffering or lagging. There are some points that don’t work but I suspect the addon is so new they’ll probably add to it in the future, maybe!

This is a good backup but nothing compares to Umbrella with Premiumize. Most movies I’ve played in Dream aren’t even 720p quality. I get tons of 4K and 1080p links with Umbrella.

Not used dream so not sure what scrapers it uses but this is the key that makes a good addon find quality links when using any Debrid service.

I dont know how Dream gets its streams but from my novice eyes it appears to be from an actual streaming service.

Each server has Account Information showing “currnet connections” and “allowed connections”. Even has an Expiration date.

So all the viewable content seems to be from 1 source. Not being scrapped like a debrid.

Quite impressed. Even has local stations from my location of nowhere, USA! Probably won’t last long, but makes me happy short term!

Works great except for subtitles.

Can’t get them to work.

To enable subtitles for Dream TV on Kodi, you’ll need to install a subtitle addon and configure it to work with the Dream TV addon during playback. Popular subtitle addons include OpenSubtitles.com, a4kSubtitles, and others from the Kodi Omega addon repository. You can then adjust subtitle settings within the Kodi interface during playback.

welcome

Maynard · 2025-06-15T17:13:15.931Z

Ok. So if I open the add-on browser, click on “My addons”, click on Subtitles, I see A4Ksubtitles, addic7ed.cxx, opensubtitles.cxx. and subscene subtitles. All enabled.

When I click on a movie or series with the Dream Tv addon, each of these except Opensubtitles.cxx show No subtitles found. When I search opensubtitles, I get 50 subtitles found. None of those have anything to do with the show I’m trying to watch

What am I doing wrong?

If you’re using the Dream addon for live TV, then subtitles won’t be available in the various subtitle add-ons.
The subs on those are files ripped from Blu-ray, DVD or streams from Hulu, HBO, etc.

@Maynard, are subtitles working on other Kodi addons that you are currently using?

Maynard · 2025-06-16T23:01:44.631Z

Yes, I’ve had no issues with subtitles on any other addon.

JerryJ · 2025-06-17T01:23:56.127Z

Ok, so that most likely means that your subtitle addons are set up correctly in Kodi. I do know that quite a few movies and TV shows haven’t been set up for subtitles.

Maybe just to test it out, find a common (popular) movie, in another addon, that has working subtitles. Then test that same movie with Dream TV to see if will produce the subtitles. On my end I will try that out to see what happens.

JerryJ · 2025-06-17T22:30:33.551Z

Ok, so I tested a few movies that offered subtitles with my Fen addon. But when I tried the same movies on the Dream TV addon, none of them offered subtitles. Please correct me if I am mistaken, but my thinking is that Dream TV isn’t set up for subtitles, even though my testing was fairly simple.

Am i the only one getting subtitles and closed captions on some live tv and movies?

Not all movies but i checked some in the collection area at the bottom some of them have subtitles.

Also in live tv i am getting CC. Again not all of the channels but a few i checked.

I didnt add any subtitle service and i am using troys fork 21.2.

I dont want to post the titles of what worked here for others to test because i do t think this is a locked thread.

@JerryJ let me know if i can DM you a few titles to try out.

Edit: i may have “enabled parsing for closed caption” in thr kodi setting. Maybe that was it?

JPM69 · 2025-06-18T06:15:10.975Z

For Live TV Closed Captions

Select Settings in kodi then select
Player then make sure you are in Standard, Advanced or Expert mode.
Select Subtitles
Select Enable Parsing for Closed Captions

When watching something if CC does not appear click select button while watching and scroll over to the right. The second to last icon is “subtitles”. Make sure Enable subtitles is enabled.

Below that see the “Subtitle” and if there are more than one available select a diffent one. Ex: if it says “unknown 1/2” select “unknown 2/2”.

If subtitles say “None” then i dont think its available.

Working pretty well for me.

As far a the movies, i think its a crap shoot if the movie has Subs embedded. But I’ll have to check this another time.

Good luck!

Ok i found a solution for you.. you will need to do a manual search for your title. The 2 i tested give titles totally unrelated to the movie when selecting Download Subtitles.

These are the steps i took to get the Subtitles for movies.

Kodi Settings
Select Addons
Select All Repositories
Select Subtitles
Select Open Subtitles.com (NOT .org)
Select install
Go back to DreamTV
Select a movie
While playing select Subtitles and Download Subtitles
Most likely the titles shown are not the movie you are trying to watch. If they are you can select and watch the movie. Otherwise…
Select Manual Search String
Enter the title of movie
××Be specific or give enough in title to distinguish from other similar titles.
You should have results for the movie you are watching.
Select a link and enjoy. Find a working link if needed.

Hope this helps.

There may be better or easier ways but this is what i found to work so i stopped. Lol

A thank you to @Miki for sending me on the right path.
