So why do the boxes stop working? Because piracy add-ons have been systematically targeted by lawyers representing Hollywood in the past few months, and many of the add-on makers have agreed to shut their projects down, as this article explains. The Kodi offered is “fully loaded,” which means it has a variety of third-party piracy add-ons included.
Generally these are dirt cheap computers, similar to the Raspberry Pi, set up to boot into Kodi. As a result, a vast number of individuals, along with sketchy fly-by-night companies, have started selling “Kodi Boxes,” both online and sometimes even in kiosks in shopping malls. But there are third-party add-ons that offer pirated content. On its own, Kodi is not a piracy app-it’s just a very good video player, with no content bulit-in. RELATED: Kodi Is Not a Piracy Application
It is intended to be used for video files you store on your computer, but the Kodi software also supports add-ons, simple scripts that give access to all sorts of content online. It’s an open source software project, a team of volunteers that builds a very good video player for computers and phones. Kodi is not a company that sells hardware. But before you run to Twitter or Facebook to demand that Kodi give you a refund, I’ve got to tell you something else: you didn’t buy this box from Kodi. If you paid more than that, you were seriously ripped off, especially considering that any work the seller did setting up will need to be constantly redone by you to keep it working.Īgain, I’m sorry if you’re hearing any of this from me for the first time. The box you purchased probably isn’t worth much more than $30 in terms of hardware.It’s going to be a real pain to get the setup you had back up and running, and maintaining it will mean joining a never ending game of cat-and-mouse.Your box isn’t working because copyright owners are systematically shutting down the sites these piracy tools stream content from, and the Kodi add-ons that collect the streams.I’m sincerely sorry if you didn’t realize that.
And Kodi boxes sound way too good to be true, offering unlimited free TV and movies for life after purchasing a single piece of hardware. Try again later.If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I somehow managed to save that by the above modification, and packed in a zip file. xbmc folder)Īll my existing XBMCs were affected by the damn, except one! The profile folder of XBMC (Kodi) is located at:Ĭ:\Users\ (your username) \AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\25Ĭ:\Users\ (your username) \AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\25įor XBMC on Linux: at your home directory (usually it is a hidden. verCheck=False #main.CheckVersion()#Checks If Plugin Version is up to date So, the most obvious thing to do is to change it to “False”. verCheck=True #main.CheckVersion()#Checks If Plugin Version is up to date The following line in the default.py file actually doest the work. In the XBMC (or Kodi) folder, addons\25\default.py file was the one that checks for updates. I was curious to know how to stop that final auto-update. Several heated debate and mourning is going on all over the internet since then, specially on Reddit and Twitter.Īpparently, the last auto-update was the main culprit that deletes everything from Mashup leaving a goodbye message only. No wonder why people used to tell that Mashup is the only addon you need in your XBMC. I was having a hard time finding tv shows and movies and stuff to watch. Genesis, Cliq, iStream, Navi-X all of these are nothing compared to what Mashup was.
