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 each new Add-on allows the use of either/both Codes.

Adding Codes in Elysium

Elysium requires a bit more work but it is really quite easy.

Open Elysium, select Tools.

Settings-Accounts.

Enable Alluc Sources (click anywhere in that area)

Enter the User Name you used when you joined Alluc.ee.

Enter Password you used when you joined Alluc.ee.

Enable Alluc Debrid Sources , Skip this step if you do not have a Real Debrid Account(click anywhere in that area)

Enter the TMDB API Code (key) you generated.

Select OK before exiting, failure to do so will not set the new changes. You will have to repeat all steps.

Adding Codes in Death Streams

If you haven’t noticed, S.A.L.T.S. is now a Fork and it’s called Death Streams. Follow this Link on how to optimize the settings.

Open the Add-on.

Select Settings.

Select Add-on settings.

Scroll to the right to Scrapers 1.

Enable, if not already done, alluc.com Enabled.

Enter both the Username and Password you used to join that site.

Select OK before exiting.

Adding Codes in Rebirth

Rebirth is a new Fork of Exodus, can be found in the Cyberlocker repository. Follow this link for more information.

Open the Add-on and select Tools.

Select Providers.

Select NanScraper Settings. If you have a Real Debrid Account, click to enable it. See A above.

Scroll down to Scrapers 1, See B above.

Click on Enabled.

Enter your Username and Password.

Click OK to set the changes when exiting.

IN CONCLUSION

In conclusion, more Add-ons will be using the API Code/Key in the near future, knowing how to accomplish this now will make it much easier for you when these do happen. Due to different scrapers used in each Add-ons, your results may vary. All testing and research was conducted on a PC with both Krypton 17.4 and Jarvis 16.1.

In addition, testing was also done on a Nvidea Shield using a SPMC 17.4 Fork, Krypton 17.5.1 and NODI Krypton fork. These produced positive results as well. Finally, this article is meant to be used as a guide. Your results will produce different results, ensuring your add-ons are up to date will help.

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...

Ares Wizard - Retro Gaming

The Ares Wizard has had a few upgrades to bring more of what users demand, easy android installs and retro gaming being sought by many, so grab yourself a game controller and prepare to transform your android boxes in a few clicks, retro gaming is now on the Ares Wizard! Archive Logins Just before we delve into those updates, I also wanted to point out that Mr Dobson has figured out how to log into Archive via Kodi – this may make your eyes glaze over, so I’ll be brief; the high demand builds hosted on Archive recently hit a problem, where Archive forced logins to download – normally something of a bind from android boxes. Well if you create any account (even if you don’t actually use it) this login can be entered and this allows downloads from Archive – Ares is the ONLY Wizard to be able to do this. (take note Ares does NOT store this info, so you will have to key it in each time you are prompted to do so) Android Apps A few additional apps have been added...

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...

How to Setup and Enable Real Debrid in Kodi Krypton

Setup/Enable Real Debrid in Krypton Due to the increase in popularity of Real Debrid Accounts, more and more Developers are coding their Add-ons to Enable this feature. But what is Real Debrid and what can it do for me you ask? Well I would suggest you read this excellent blog on the topic, it changed my mind after reading it. Click here . If you are interested in acquiring an account, please use this link for Real Debrid . It’s recommended to establish an account prior to continuing. Where to start ? There are many Blogs and articles on the Internet about how to enable RD, but for a change this one will be about how to Enable RD in Krypton 18, Leia. While still in Alpha build, there are some interesting new features to view. But I would recommend waiting until Leia has been released in Beta before installing and trying to use. This was installed on a PC, W/10 for the ease of creating the screenshots needed. So lets begin : After opening Kodi Krypton 17 / Leia 18, select th...

Your Best Kodi Build: What should I download?

Your Best Build You may be just starting out on your kodi journey, or maybe grabbed a new device, could be an update but everyone has the same question. You are dying to ask the question and the temptation is killing you. What’s your best build? What should I download? Finding yourself wanting to fit in and have the “best build” is a problem that faces too many. Anyone who has spent any time in the community knows this is the most asked question. Once this question has been asked it is like a can of worms being opened. Then will follow random comments naming numerous builds all claiming they have the best one. These will be a mixture of what the person commenting uses and builders trying to promote themselves. After all these random people telling you what you should like, you will find yourself no better than you were to start. In some cases you could be more confused. I am too familiar with how it feels to be a newcomer to the Kodi World. Free str...
