ResolveURL: How Do We Use It ?

ResolveURL

ResolveURL is the new Fork of URL Resolver that has been (re)developed by a well known and trusted developer jsergio123. He is more well known as one of the top Kodi Python Code distributors on the internet in recent times.

The ResolveURL Kodi add-on works in the background of Kodi , also called a dependency, to decode file hosts in order to play the root movie or TV video stream. I’m sure you have noticed the names Dizilab, Dizigold, Primewire, TVHD. These are Filehosts or Scrapers used in many Add-ons. The url resolver kodi add-on searches and retrieves a streaming file as it navigates thru these scrapers/hosts.

Where is ResolveURL located

Since this is relatively new, there are only a few Add-ons that are currently using it:

Placenta

Death Streams

Death Streams RD

Nemesis

Vortex

Maverick TV

If you are installing or updating any of the Add-ons on their own or the repo they are located in, ResolveURl will be automatically installed for you. So there is nothing for you to do except…….Enabling in Kodi and your Add-ons if you have a Real Debrid Account.

Enabling Resolve in Kodi/Add-ons

In addition to creating the Blog How To Set Up and Enable Real Debrid as a guide, we’ll show you where it’s located as well as where to enable it the new Add-on Placenta.

resolveurl

Select the Cog Icon, if you are using a Build, click on System.

resolveurl

Next step, click on System settings. Click on System again if you are using a Build.

System Settings

1. Unless this is your very first time installing anything, you should find the Mode already set to Expert. If it does not, simply click in that area until it reads Expert. (Builds should be already set to that Mode)

2. Move the cursor up to and hover over Add-ons.

3. Slide the cursor over to Manage dependencies and click.

Since the Dependencies List is in alphabetical order, Scroll down to ResolveURL and click.

Select Configure.

Configuring ResolveURL

Rather than posting each step at this point, please refer to this Blog Link posted earlier as a guide. However we will show you the main steps to begin with here.

After selecting Configure, move the cursor down to Universal Resolvers, then scroll down to Real-Debrid.

Select Priority.

Once the keypad appears,

Click on Backspace to remove the number 100.

Then enter the number 90.

Click Done to complete the process.

Select OK, then repeat the Configuration steps again as show in the Blog Link as well as entering the Code as instructed for Real Debrid.

Placenta Add-on and ResolveURL

Unlike other Add-ons, Placenta has changed where you enable Real Debrid. Therefore we decided to show this next step for you.

Select Tools from Settings.

Scroll to the bottom and click URL Resolver Settings.

Most other add-ons have this option located in the Accounts section and this has caused some confusion when trying to enable a RD Account. Hopefully this will make it clearer.

At this point, follow the process described earlier to enable your Real Debrid Account. The only thing that has changed is the name of the resolver.

In Conclusion

Kodi is an ever changing Media Player and keeping everyone informed with what’s new and improved is an on going process we at Ares Project are intent on providing. Join the Forum, not only is free to all but it’s also Drama and Bully free as well.

Kodi Advanced Settings Pt 2

This is the second part of The Advanced Settings XML article, in this follow up post I want to cover a few extra items. Skip Loop Filter Package Folder SIze Remote Delay Remote Repeat Specifcally the first is for Amazons Firestick and reduces the overhead on the GPU by removing some “unseen” frames from the video stream. Skip Loop Filter Click Programs Click Easy Advanced Settings Click Edit Settings Click Audio/video playback settings Click Skiploopfilter Click 8 You can back up to the twice and hit Write XML file Package Folder Size You’ll hear this a lot “purge packages”; so lets explain, packages are the zips Kodi downloads to install your add-ons. Kodi keeps them in case you want to roll back from an upgrade. However, they mostly just use up storage space. They have no connection to buffering, nor speed, nor performance, another often touted myth! We can remove the need to do this monthly clean up by simply setting a fixed size for the fo...

Project Cypher

This is an add on thats been around for a while, with a mix of content, mostly that I haven’t used to be honest, but its recently started to produce some good live streams with I think makes it worthy of recommending. I worked through some of the content this morning and there is a mix of stuff, but of real interest to me personally is the quality of the live links. The other content such as Lingerie Football and Lingerie Fighting is unique to the add on (AFAIK), plus there plenty of horror under the “dark side” link and Serial Killer content too, should that be your thing. Installing Project Cypher Click File Manager Double Click Add source Type this EXACTLY http://repo.run/cypherrepo/ Name the source, Project Cypher Return to the Kodi Home Screen Click System Click Add ons Click install from zip file Click Project Cypher Source Click Project Cypher zip file Wait for “add on enabled” notification Project Cypher Content The long list of live sports lin...

Super Favourites

This is not new and its amiss of me not to have added this sooner, but I started digging into a few things to do some advanced topics later and well, never realised the true potential of this add on; its always been on my “to do ” list and i have a feeling that despite Exodus not allowing its use, that SF will be used a lot more with the TV Portal release of its custom EPG app. You may have heard of the author, Spoyser, former lead ‘droid dev for team Kodi, so you know this is a solid stable addon. What Is Super Favourites? In a nutshell Super Favourites allows you to create you own custom Super-Add on with all the best bits of all your favourite add ons (with a few exceptions), along with the bits of Kodi that you use the most. In it’s simplest use case Super Favourites, acts very similar to the standard Kodi favourites in that you add items to it (in a couple of ways, see later), and can then view them in one easy to use list. However, whereas Kodi favourites is simply a...

TV Addons - Crypto Mining Hack

If you have been using Kodi third party addons for any length of time, you cannot have missed the controversy that always seems to surround TV Addons and the antics of its owner, Adam Lackman. In recent history there have been a number of high profile repo “hacks” and if you think back a little further, there was the DDOS hidden in the popular Exodus add-on. TV Addons Hack & Virus History Exodus DDOS “bot” So if you dont recall TV Addons hugely popualr Exodus add-on had some code added to it to DDOS attack. This was in response to a clone or fork of the addon that TVA took exception against. This seems rather bizarre given the amount of forks that are flying around now! Here is a link to that article. Exodus Botnet We did remove a lot of the post – but heres some links showing the code and how it was added; Exodus DDOS code Target of DDOS TVA & Indigo Repo Hijacks So lets review the repo hijacks – hotly denied, but who else has a v...

Adjusting Video Screen in Kodi Have you ever opened your Kodi and found that the screen is “Skewed” or looks like it’s zoomed in and the edges are missing ? Well here’s a fix that everyone will be able to apply to Kodi 16.1, Krypton 17 and all Forks. Understanding where and how to adjust the video screen is one of the easiest fix that anyone can do.
