After a long time testing various Kodi plugins, I decided to write my own so that it works exactly the way I want, since the well-known plugins didn’t fully satisfy me 100%.
Some had access issues with the sites they used as sources, others lacked subtitles or showed the wrong subtitles, etc. So I wrote my own plugin and decided to upload it online so others can use it if they need it
The reason I wanted to do it for Kodi is the language it supports — Python — and the fact that I can run it on a Raspberry Pi and cheap TV boxes, like the one here.
Although I’ve already written another article about this specific plugin, I decided to create a page here as well so people can leave comments about plugin issues, solutions, and updates. Visit the page often or subscribe in the comments below to get email notifications about new plugin versions.
Download
You can download the plugin from here.
Installation
I have written a complete step-by-step installation guide here. This page is only for plugin-related problems.
Disclaimer
Before I continue, a short disclaimer. The plugin connects to various streaming websites that provide “free” content in order to obtain the necessary file link and play it. This means that if you live in a country like Germany that immediately sends fines to anyone downloading movies and series, theoretically you shouldn’t have any problem with the way this plugin works. In other words, if you’ve ever watched movies from sites like tainio-mania, tainies-online, etc., then as I mentioned above, you won’t have any issue with this plugin. But as always, install and use it at your own risk.
One important thing I must also emphasize: I do NOT upload the content shown by the plugin and I have NO connection with the site “coverapi.store” or any other sites from which the plugin pulls links. So please don’t write comments like “when will this series be uploaded with subtitles,” etc. The plugin is simply a tool and nothing more. Neither the plugin nor my site provides any links. So don’t ask me about new movies, when a certain episode will be uploaded, bad subtitle sync, poor video quality, or why a movie isn’t playing, etc.
I have nothing to do with the content and I don’t upload it. It would be like calling the taxi driver who took you to a show to complain that the show was bad or started late.I should also point out that no personal data of yours is logged, so you don’t need to worry about that either. After all, the plugin is on GitHub and anyone can check the code. Maybe in the future I’ll add VPN capability, but I can’t promise that for sure.
Sources
With its latest upgrade, the plugin can now also find files via torrents for better resolution. However, it works differently from other plugins. After finding the magnet link with the most seeders, it sends it to a special service, which then delivers the file so there’s no delay due to seeders. The entire connection is made through a proxy for your data protection.
Also, because many movies or series may not be available on the default sources, the plugin can search additional sources (e.g., Ertflix). To unlock this feature, you need an API key from my site and enter it in the plugin’s special form.
Beta
The plugin is currently in beta, meaning it’s a test version. This means it may have bugs or issues that I didn’t catch during testing. Feel free to write in the comments about any problems so I can fix them, as well as suggestions for improvements.
I may add more options or fix existing bugs in the future.UpdatesVersion v0.8 now supports automatic updates for new versions. If a new version is available, the system will notify you when the plugin starts and offer to install it. The process is easy and requires just one click.
Changelogs
Here I will list all changes made to the plugin. If you have a problem, it’s helpful to mention which version you’re using so I can locate the issue more easily.
v0.1 (01.11.2023)
Initial release
v0.2 (15.11.2023)
Added the “Movies” section so there’s no need for two separate plugins. Fixed some bugs and added extra features.
v0.3 (12.02.2024)
Changed the cache system from JSON to XML files. Added “service.py” so the database syncs when Kodi is running. Fixed some bugs.
v0.4 (16.02.2024)
Added the cfscrape module as the main tool for link checking (better compatibility with older Kodi versions). Cloudscraper is also supported but must be installed manually by the user.
v0.5 (29.02.2024)
Fixed a cache bug that prevented file refresh. Added notification for new versions.
v0.6 (08.03.2024)
Fixed a bug with TV show links. Added option to sync the database from the plugin’s main menu.
v0.7 (02.05.2024)
Added extra options in the TV section and tags for easier movie/series discovery.
v0.8 (02.10.2024)
Major update — the plugin must be reinstalled from scratch because the GitHub URL changed (old versions will have issues).
Added automatic update capability: a popup notifies you and prompts you to upgrade.
Fixed a cache issue that sometimes contained empty links (mainly on TV boxes when entering standby).
v0.9 (22.11.2024)
Added more options in the TV section and fixed some plugin bugs.
v1.0 (27.02.2025)
The plugin has changed form. In this version, I chose FEN as the plugin’s source. The reason is that I wanted to stop connecting the plugin to my own site to reduce the load on my database. So instead of rewriting large parts of the plugin for this change, I took an existing one and made my modifications on it. Now all movie and series metadata comes from TheMovieDB.
In this new version, some additional features have been added. The plugin can work as-is and find content from certain predefined sources (as before), but it can also add many more high-quality sources if you enter an API key in the settings. This API key comes from my site and requires membership to obtain.
Another new feature is the ability to find content (movie/episode in high resolution) via torrent — but it works differently from other Kodi or Stremio plugins. It does not stream the torrent directly; instead, through a third-party service, the torrent is downloaded on their servers and then and the plugin pulls the stream from there. This gives us the ability to watch the movie/series at high speed without interruptions caused by searching for seeders. The plugin only selects torrents with at least 10 seeders.
Also, in this version you can now search for and download available subtitles for each movie or episode in one or two languages of your choice. You can set a primary language (e.g., Greek) and a secondary one (e.g., English) that will be used when the primary language isn’t available.
