How to Fix Out of Sync Audio Krypton

Out of Sync Audio Solution in Krypton

The Family have gathered round to view a Movie, snacks are at the ready, beverages are poured and everyone have settled into their favorite place to watch. The ok is given by all, you press Play and then someone speaks….. but wait ! Something’s wrong, their lips are moving but the Audio is not in Sync with their lips! Now everyone turns their attention to you with that look of death on their faces ! Have no fear, here’s a fix to make you look like the Star you really are.

Common causes of Out of Sync Audio

Poor WiFi Connection or WiFi drop outs. Rebooting your Router then Device may help.

The Server with the stream may be busy. Try another link or Add-on.

If none of the above provide any help, follow the next set of steps. While the Movie is playing, select the Speaker Icon located in the bottom right corner.

A new window will appear, selecting Audio offset will now take you to the next step.

Adjusting Audio Offset

An “incremented slide” will appear at the top of your screen. This is where some experimenting will come into play. If the Audio is behind, then move the slide to the Right slightly, to speed up the sync. 0.500 at a time seems to be a number that works well.
Moving it to the Left will be required if the Sync is faster than what the characters appear to be saying.
Knowing approximately how fast ahead or behind the actual speech is will help you determine how much to add or subtract. This may take a few attempts to complete so be patient, but it is an easy solution to complete.

Once you are happy with the results, click on “Set as default for all media”. If you find this is an issue with most of the movies you try, then enable that option. Normally this only occurs occasionally so I don’t think it’s necessary, but again this is a personal choice.
A bonus solution found here is the Enable or Disable Subtitles (Red Arrow) as well as the Subtitle Offset, which does exactly same for text as it does for the Audio of a movie.

Once you’re happy with the results, select Close to exit and return to the Movie.

IN CONCLUSION

Out of Sync Audio when it occurs can be troubling to even a seasoned user of Kodi. Rather than make a complicated “How To” explanation, a simple Photo walk thru can explain the instructions much easier. In addition to this method being used for Krypton, it will be Identical in Jarvis versions of Kodi as well.

Using TMDb and Alluc API Codes in Kodi Add-ons

Using TMDb / Alluc Codes Together Before explaining how to link your TMDb api code with Alluc code, why does anyone need the code ? When the Add-on Elysium became the “go to” add-on as an alternative to Covenant, the Devs added the api Code. Consequently TMDb began cancelling each new api code generated by the Developers as it was viewed as “abuse of the code”. As a result the Developers spent more time generating a new code instead of improving the add-on itself. The Solution was to allow each user to generate their own personal IMDb Api code and enter it themselves. Generating your own TMDb Code While other groups were providing a solution, Ares Project Forum had taken it a step further by providing a Blog that gave a more detailed method that others had missed. In addition to generating a TMDb code, you will also need a Alluc code. This can be found by following this link . Add-ons Currently Utilizing both Codes The above list will be updated as ...

WiFi Settings & Tweaks for Kodi

I thought I’d cover the one of the most talked about issues in the world of streaming and thats WiFi and how to get the best out of it, practical measures and not some of the voodoo you read on some forums! What is WIFi? The term Wi-Fi refers specifically to the IEEE 802.11 set of standards for wireless networks. Several different standards are designated by a letter suffix on the 802.11, such as in 802.11g or 802.11n. In general all of the 802.11 standards operate on either a 2.4GHz or 5GHz radio frequency. 5GHz has much greater speed capability but a reduced range; generally speaking the lower a frequency the further it will travel, so don’t expect miracles if you switch to 5GHz. A key thing to note here is that if ANY device uses the older “b” standard then ALL devices *could* have their speed reduced to 11mbps on “g” networks, depending on your router. This really applies to older equipment or cheap equipment with old parts used in it *cough* t...

Updating Your Add-ons and Repositories in Kodi

Updating Add-ons / Repositories Updating your list of Add-ons and Repositories is the best way to ensure Kodi is functioning properly. Rather than checking, many newcomers think it’s better to just Uninstall the Add-on/Repo and reinstall it again. Totally unnecessary for many reasons. Consider this, if your vehicle runs out of fuel, would you replace it with another of the same make and model ? Of course not, you would find a way to fill it with fuel and carry on. Therefore, updating the Add-ons/Repos is like refueling your vehicle. This is another topic in our continuing effort to help the newcomers/beginners to the world of Kodi. You can view many more Blogs on a wide assortment of helpful topics here at Ares-Project Blog . Updating Repositories Rather than send an update for a single add-on that may be in a repo, the Dev will send one for the entire repo. It faster, more convenient and above all it saves time. Yet how do you know if your repo is up to date? Here are two exampl...

This article will show you how to take advantage of the benefits of using a Alluc.ee Account in the Kodi Add-ons Elysium, Placenta, Death Streams and Rebirth. These are just some of the many add-ons for Movies and TV Shows available and are quite easy to navigate. What is Alluc.ee? First off, let’s take a look at what Alluc.ee is about. Here is a brief description of Alluc.ee and how you can take advantage of what it has to offer: “Alluc.ee (pronounced: “all-you-see”) is a user-generated link-sharing-website that catalogs links to TV shows, movies, music videos, sport, anime and cartoons. Alluc does not host any content itself. Alluc.ee also does not contain any download links, all are links to streaming video sharing websites. Users provide the links in the right category and they are released to the site after having been checked by the administrators. Video hosting sites that are linked include YouTube, Dailymotion, and Veoh, among others....

Kodi Dlna Client and Server Setup for Krypton

What is Dlna ? WHAT IS DLNA? The term DLNA stands for “Digital Living Network Alliance”. It is the industry standard for sharing network data combined with “Universal Plug and Play Audio Visual(UPnP). This option can be used to share your media libraries from one device to another. If you have a PC or Kodi Box for your Tv, you can share its media contents. Other Smart TVs, Game Consoles, Phones, etc. to name a few. It is recommended that you backup Kodi before continuing in case you wish to restore your Kodi settings at a later date. A Kodi UPnP server/media can stream its content to other devices on the same network by using UPnP and DLNA protocols. HOW TO ENABLE DLNA ON KODI? For this article, I used a clean version of Krypton 17.6. If you are using a Build, this is typically found by selecting System, then System again. Lets begin: After opening Kodi, select the Cog Icon found in the top left corner. Then Select Service Settings top row far right in...
