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.

f4mTester-What is it and do I need it ?

f4mTester What, Where and Why ? The What : F4mTester was created by the developer Shani, (you may remember the now dead Zen Add-on) where it was placed in their Repo as a dependency. In a nutshell, f4mTester decodes various types streaming video files. That includes HTTP Dynamic Streaming (HDS) and Real-Time Media Flow Protocol (RTMFP) streams that are displayed in media players, including Kodi. When you open a streaming video in your media player, it needs to be decoded to view. The F4M manifest file helps your media player understand and decode the video stream. Since this file contains info about the stream, f4mTester helps Kodi read those F4M files and decode them in a way that makes sense. So simply put, f4mTester locates the F4M files and helps Kodi display the live streams that you want to watch. Without it, many live streaming Kodi addons would not work or would have serious issues displaying a large amount of content. The Where: Normally, we would have...

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...
