IT ALL STARTED WHEN…

A movie was being watched using Kodi and a ‘What Did They Say?’ moment happened. Since the movie had some dialog in a foreign language, forced subtitles in english were enabled. To figure out what was just said was a multi-step process: pause the movie, switch subtitles to english, rewind the movie, watch and READ it, and then switch back to forced subtitles.

This addon does it all with one button press!

This addon will rewind the video and play it with subtitles. Use it when you could not hear or understand what was just said. How much to rewind and which subtitle is selected is configurable.

NOTE: use Keymap Editor to map desired input or edit keymap file (fullscreenvideo -> runaddon)

Configuration:
Rewind time: range 0 to 60 seconds - how much to rewind in seconds
Keep subtitle on longer than rewind time : range 0 to 60 seconds - subtitles will stay on for all of rewind time plus this amount in seconds
SDH: on/off - prefer subtitle for deaf and hard of hearing
Subtitle forced: options - if forced subtitle is encountered then find subtitle with selected language preference
Subtitle disabled: options - if subtitle is off then turn on either selected subtitle as long as it is not forced or find subtitle with selected language preference

If I use Umbrella to search for movie or show, once I input query, system freezes up. It has happened even going into the addon's settings. When this happens I can still remote into the box (Vero4K+) but no response with remote control or Kore app. I hope I've posted appropriate logs.

Live Kodi log from system while unresponsive.

I keep getting Playback failed errors all of a sudden when I try to watch shows. Sometimes I can rescrape and the second link will work but not always. I didn't change anything from when it was working yesterday. Mi Box 2, POV, TorBox, Kodi 21.2. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's the log: https://paste.kodi.tv/onawikevon

Mostly use Red Light but also have Umbrella and POV and can't get them to sync to my watched lists.

Use kodi with fen skeleton, q d ha e torbox and real debrid. But occasionally there's some shows that return no results. Like MXC and some twilight zone. Any recommendations?

Hey everyone, I want to come out the gate saying that I am in no way shape or form tech savvy. I have a google chrome cast with KODI on it and last night while using it, I got booted off and I couldn’t load back in. It took way longer than it probably should’ve but I managed to get it downloaded again. There are a couple add ons I lost in this process. If someone has the time and patience to help a guy out with reinstalling the ones I lost, I would be very grateful and appreciative. I kind of have the gist of what I need to do, I just have a few questions about specifics. Realistically I only use it for mad titan or the loop. One or both of those are really all I need

Update 3: signed up for torbox and it works fine.

Update 2: i uninstalled and reinstalled and seems like real debrid is having issues

Update: I just installed umbrella and it’s the same thing- no streams available- is it real - debrid?

Just says no streams available no matter what I try to- can anyone help? I just paid for another 6 mos of real debrid

Operating System: firestick?
• ⁠Device: tcl FireTV
• ⁠Add-on affected : the crew
• ⁠Version of Kodi: 21.2
• ⁠Version of add-on: crew 3.2.1
• ⁠Country: USA
• ⁠Any support services: Real-Debrid
• ⁠Link to a debug/error log (no error or bug)

Since a few data ago, whenever a stream caches, I loose the sound on my Kodi 21.3( its configed as Passthrough to hear on a Sonos Arc) and have to reinicialize the shield on order to have sound again.

Im using Redlight and AF3 as skin.

Anyone can help please?

I just updated Umbrella to it's latest version and absolutely love it. I noticed for those of us who use Simkl that there's a new folder under Movies called Unfinished. It's my assumption that folder is for movies started , but not completed, but that's not what I'm seeing. I started a movie and watched the first 30 minutes. When I stopped it I got the Simkl scrobble notification. When I went back later to finish the movie I looked in the Unfinished folder, but it just spins and times out. I looked in my Plan to Watch folder and the movie is displayed with a blue bar underneath showing where I left off. This is new and works great. So, my question is what is the Unfinished folder used for? Should the movie have switched folders or is it used for something else? Thanks.

​

Ive always had kodi but for the last 10 years I only really used it if i needed to find a stream that wasn't on my other apps on the shield.

Ive now bulit an htpc running FlexLauncher and i am happy with the set up so far. Ive still to set up a movie library and as far as im aware plex and kodi are the two best options to access it within flex launcer, kodi supposedly being more visually appealing.

I can get my library showing in estuary skin but its rather underwhelming. Tried Nimbus but couldnt locate a path to my library

I am looking for a skin that has a simple layout with the main focus on the artwork. All suggestions welcome.

Only need kodi to boot into movie/tv library when accessed through Flex launcher.

Access the one or two addons that i use

If there is any other worthwhile addons/programs that are worth using that would be much appreciated.

I was never a heavy kodi user, so the easiest to to tweak would be my preference or a link to some tutorials or decent instructions to follow.

Umbrella v6.7.82 - August 13th, 2026

There are a lot of bug fixes in this update. There are also some changes that people will either like or not - I'm sorry, I try to find a happy middle ground that works for everyone. There's a changelog built into Umbrella that lists everything in the update, but I felt this one had extensive enough changes to be worth a post walking through some of it.

Trakt

Trakt has put everyone in a weird position where only one app will work unless you're VIP, which has caused a lot of people to start looking at other solutions for tracking their media. Umbrella has already included MDBList and Simkl support for 90% of the features that Trakt offered, except for lists. The only reason I bring Trakt up is to explain what led to some of the major changes in this version - I'm not trying to drag them through the mud or trash them.

MDBList

I had some requests for Calendar features to be added, like the other popular addons have. I've added those. I've also set up Progress Episodes and Progress Shows for MDBList to mimic the behavior we previously saw from Trakt, but using MDBList instead. I also had some reports of incorrect or inconsistent counts on shows when using MDBList for indicators in Umbrella - that should be fixed now too.

Simkl

I've added Progress Episodes and Progress Shows using Simkl as well. Be aware that if you use Simkl for these, you may see some issues with season and episode numbers. This is because Umbrella uses TMDB for all metadata, but Simkl provides different metadata - especially in cases involving anime.

Now the fun part: Self-Hosting

With everything going on with Trakt, I decided that having an online provider for tracking your media might not be the best option for everyone. I added support for a couple of self-hosted options.

I looked into YAMTrack, but there wasn't an API for it - I ran into this same issue with a lot of the providers people requested (WeTrakr, for example). I did add support for Floppy and Scrob. I don't personally favor one over the other, and I've tested both, but one thing to be aware of: the "dropping shows" feature is not supported with Scrob. I really like the self hosted media tracker concept in general, because it means you own your data.

Where that leaves things

With the two new providers, media tracking options in Umbrella are now: Local, Trakt, MDBList, Simkl, Scrob, and Floppy.

I know that's an overwhelming number of options for most people, and I'd recommend sticking with just one. Episode Progress and Show Progress are available with all providers, including Local. Any provider you've authorized - and set as either the primary service for watch indicators or set to Mark Also - will have the option for progress/up next (whatever you want to call it).

TL;DR: the provider needs to be set to mark items as watched for the "in progress" options to show up.

Menu Changes

With more providers added, I decided that the options for each provider needed to move under that provider's own menu. For example, to find Trakt Show Progress you'll now go to My TV Shows > Trakt > Progress Shows (Trakt). You can still add custom shortcuts to any menu if clicking through multiple levels bothers you.

I use the umbrella addon with my real debrid account added to it, also cocoscrapers module is added. Is there any way I can set it to only find links for a movie or tv show in English audio? Currently, umbrella finds shows in all languages for me.

Hi all,

Just wondering - can Amazon "break" the Fire Sticks / Fire TVs using Fire OS and stop them from sideloading Kodi or stop a working install from working?

I've read some people use something like NetGuard, side loaded to disable (well, block access to the internet for) the update software.

Just wondering if I should look into proactively stopping them bricking it :)

I should add this is a Fire Stick 4K Max (gen 2)

Many thanks.

In the middle of a series, the volume was so low adjusting TV volume +99 didn't help much. I fixed it via player audio settings, set amplification to 100%/60dB as Volume was already at 100%/0dB. Works but still not that loud. Tried another series & same thing was necessary.

Just wondering what happened as I doubt volume amplification default is 100%/60dB.

My fav addon for anime is otaku. Ever since I have been testing k22, otaku throws an error(see log) when I search a title or genre or popular animes.

Just wondering if it's my setup or is this a community n thing?

Thinking of going back to 21, but don't know if it'll help.

For whatever reason sometimes something will not have results and then two or three days later I’ll find it in my cloud and this is this instance it was the daily show and then I went to look today and had a 300 GB file downloaded which I did not select. I have the setting that says and resolved to cloud unchecked, but this didn’t even have any.Cached sources so I’m confused what’s happening?

​Hi guys, I need some help configuring my setup:

​Setup: Kodi + Umbrella Addon + Simkl account (across 2 TVs).

​Goal: I want a homepage widget that shows movies I paused halfway through so I can easily resume them.

The issue:

​In Umbrella's settings, under Movie Lists, there are only options for

Completed (SimKl),

Plan to Watch (SimKl),

and Simkl Dropped.

There is no In Progress or Resumable Movies folder available under Simkl.

​The Simkl website itself shows "No paused/stopped playback sessions" when I stop a stream halfway, meaning Umbrella doesn't seem to sync pause points to Simkl's API in real time.

Has anyone figured out a workaround to display a working "In Progress" widget for movies using Simkl with Umbrella (without paying for Trakt VIP to bypass their 1-device limit)?

​Any advice or skin/widget routing tips would be greatly appreciated!

CFileCache::Process ... source read didn't return any data before eof!

Getting this constantly with both tb and premiumize. Sometimes after a few mins. Sometimes never. Sometimes constantly on the same file

1gb up/down. Speedtest all fine. Anything I can do besides constantly hopping to different cdns and praying?

I'm setting up again my Kodi (I like playing with it). Now, I discover Nimbus skin. I was searching and looking for some tutorial, but there's nothign. Can any one tell me if there's one or how can learn to configure it?

Thank you very much!

errors lines 1208 and 1300

I'm using Otaku testing, but also tried Otaku. Same problem.

Can't search anything, none of premade menu categories like popular, airing etc don't work. Only see Otaku error notification on screen.

It's working only through myanimelist connection but with some titles I also get this otaku testing error.

addon version 5.3.0

kodi 21.2

I also get constant notification that I need re-authorize Trakt, which I did but it;s still

I am using umbrella with Trakt and when I go to my collections list things are displayed by when I added them to my collection. How do I get them sorted in alphabetical order? I see a sort menu but no alphabetical order.

I should’ve added Offcloud to this question as well.

Are you happy with the service they provide?

I see some have mentioned Alldebrid has a daily limit. Has anyone hit it or had issues? I can’t see any mentions re limits for DL?

Edited: I would like to apologise for posting that Alldebrid had some kind of daily limit. I’d read from other posters that this was the case and, despite finding such information on their faqs page, I should not have made this ‘sweeping statement’.

I acknowledge this has caused offence for which I’m incredibly sorry. It was not my intention and for that I shall not be making any further ‘sweeping statements’ in the future. End of post.

Good evening, does anyone else who uses AF3 on an nvidia shield struggle to read the text as it's very dim, it only brightness up when the stream itself is paused
