Uranus: Elysium Fork Kodi Add-on

Uranus by Griffin_303 is another Elysium Fork; however, Griffin has added some extras to it and is maintaining it. Elysium was a very popular add-on after taking over for Zen from Schism. We have seen this add-on grow as more and more developers are throwing into the mix. What I like about Uranus is the fact that Griffin is always doing what he can to pump up and maintain his add-ons. This is important because it means there is a better chance this add-on will stick around. If you are unaware of Elysium it is a multi-scraper add-on that has been forked by several developers including Blamo with Neptune Rising.

Uranus: Current Version of this add-on is 2018-02-22

This add on is “unofficial” and therefore not supported by Kodi Tv or XMBC foundations, please do not ask on their forums for help, go to ares-project.uk for further support.

Uranus

I am a big fan of Griffin’s work as you may have noticed from some of the articles I have written; however, there is a reason. Griffin has really stepped up to help the community and built some very nice add-ons. We have seen forks come and go int he community and I am confident that this fork, Uranus, is here to stay. Check out all of our articles and Griffin’s other add-ons at Best Kodi Guides.

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.

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...

What is Failure Level in Death Streams Scraper List.

What is FL or Failure Level What FL specifically stands for is “Failure Level”. When a scraper’s FL value exceeds the FL threshold in settings, the scraper will be automatically disabled. But only if “Automatically Disable Ineffective Scrapers” is set to “On” or trigger a disable prompt if it is set to “Prompt”. Death Streams, a Fork of S.A.L.T.S. (Stream All The Sources) has thankfully decided to continue the use of this amazing Video Add-on. Originally developed by tk.norris it soon became a very unique Add-on to use. Primarily on how the end user was able to configure the Settings to their personal use. Due to the amount of time required to Maintain and Update an Add-on the Dev (tk.norris) decided to cease looking after Salts and move on to other Life Adventures. Unfortunately the new Dev also found this a daunting undertaking consequently forcing him to step away from the add-on. Mr. Blamo, in order to prevent failu...

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...
