Please can you add an option in settings to show non cached links for real debrid and allow us to add them to real debrid.

Can you also add support for season packs in real debrid.

Gaia has both of these working.

The clear logos in Realzer load super fast for skins.

the dev has explained how he has done this.

is this possible to implement in Seren at some point as an option in the settings we can enable?

this would really help for titan and the nextflix skin and others as the logos load instant.

The best site Torrentapi is missing all links for movies.

They show perfectly for all TV shows.

Tested on a fresh install of Kodi 18 Final.

Using Leia

As title suggests...

Something weird going on... I'm using the Arctic Zephyr skin, i can set custom view types for all views... But no matter what i set for Episode View in Seren settings, Seren will always default to a standard list view for episodes.

and when in the episode view, pressing backspace to go back to "season" , the season view changes to what the ''episode" view should be in the custom settings.

weird behaviour

As suggested in the Reddit comment.

Raising a GitHub issue for this to be implemented.

"Nextup" is showing episodes a day early. The aired date of episodes on Seren are a day ahead of the Trakt aired date. (i have mentioned this on reddit but wanted to put this issue in the correct place).

Go to Survivor in TV Shows, and the season list is completely wrong. They're basically all in the wrong order. For example, the 30th season is listed as season 39 when there are only 37 seasons released.

I'm not sure if trakt's Survivor page is just wrong or if it's a strange bug since all other shows I've seen are correct. Perhaps other shows are also wrong, but this is the only one that I've noticed.

I have latest libreelec installed. When i choose install from zip file, choose repo zip, kodi just restart. It wont install repo. What logs you need,kodi crash log or what?

Please add an auto subtitle download for us non english speaker in this best addons. Tyvm.

The new Das Boot TV show has no artwork and instead has white projector symbol.

Since the latest .34 update that added artwork to the scraper page it seems if the show doesn't have artwork it won't show the scraper page and displays no links available message.

Seren seems to lose all user specified settings. For me to recreate the error on my system I have to access Seren's settings menu while Kodi is booting up and my widgets are loading. Log is below.

Would it be possible to be able to download content rather than always streaming? Apologies if I've missed a setting somewhere (similar to the download settings in incursion).

Thanks

Ratings such as PG, PG-13, R etc. are not showing in the Movies (Discover Movies) section but are working fine in the TV Shows (Discover TV Shows) section. Would be great if it can be fixed. Thanks

As great as your addon is, I'll never abbandon the kodi library, it's way faster browsing it then trough any addon 😉 and way more convenient than using Trakt lists. And yeah I could use widgets and custom skin menus etc. but still the library tops it all.

So I'll wait and hope this feature comes.

But as I said, great work.

When you stop a movie, it will pop up in the "Finish Watching" category but when you click the movie from there it will start from the beginning, I notice if I click the same movie from within my trakt list the movie will play at the proper time but in the "finish watching" section it just always starts from the beginning.

This is on 0.24

Quick question / feature request...

But first wanted to say brilliant script and I personally am very thankful and appreciate this - been testing since I saw the post on reddit and works pretty good once I got real-debrid and trakt to register properly.

anyway back to the request for consideration...

It would be awesome for the script to set TV Show artwork (specifically clearlogo and clearart) when playing TV Shows - so I thank you for considering this feature.

Thanks and thanks again!

The last version 0.1.34 seems broke install provider from external storage again (zip file), error occured. This not happen with version 0.1.30 tho.

Hello, thanks for great addon and we will be very happy to get support for best Usenet services in Seren addon.....we need it for older content where we can't find cached torrents....

Hey Nix, quick thing I noticed with Using UpNext and NextUp together.

So if you let UpNext either time out and auto play the next episode OR click “play” so it starts the next episode. What ends up happening is it will immediately mark on Trakt the new episode as “watched” even if you stop it right away. So NextUp will show the next episode.

In other words if I use UpNext to start the next episode (episode 8) then immediately stop the episode. NextUp will show episode 9 and trakt will mark episode 8 as watched.

I can provide logs just let me know which ones?

At Kodi (and Seren too) the User can change the View Typ (Wall, InfoWall and so on...)

But there is a problem with the following sites after page 1

Kodi18 , Skin Estuary (and other skins too)

After page 1 there is always only List View

Changes in Seren (Custum) don't fix this problem

This Problem is in another Forks the same, bute the Problem is comeing up with Kodi18

Kodi17 no Problems

Is there a guide anywhere on how to write providers for Seren? What are the APIs that need to be provided, how the auto-update should work etc?

Seren 0.1.29
Up Next from Nixgates Repo
Continuous Playback (All episodes in the picture, were auto played one after the other, never paused, or stopped. The first link worked every time)
I have heard other people having the same issue.

IMAGE:

Currently to search for a film/show through the JSON-RPC I have only found a way to do it in 2 requests which feels clunky and prone to error.

http://libreelec.local:8080/jsonrpc?request=[{"jsonrpc": "2.0","id": 2,"method": "GUI.ActivateWindow","params": {"window": "videos","parameters": ["plugin://plugin.video.seren?action=moviesSearch"]}}]

http://libreelec.local:8080/jsonrpc?request=[{"jsonrpc":"2.0"],"id": 2,"method":"Input.SendText","params":["Bug Buck Bunny"}]

Would it be possible to pass something into actionArgs to skip to text input and initiate search on a given string?

Currently the cache assist will trigger debrid service download only after no cached sources are found. It will be great if we can trigger cache assist on a whole season. It doesn’t have to check if episodes already have cached sources. Just find torrents with appropriate resolution and add them for debrid download. This may be used to improve the cached sources, if the current ones are not good.

I have Seren installed on a couple of my devices. I have my Real-Debrid and Traxt accounts registered to the addon, however whenever I try to use it I get the following in my kodi.log. What does this mean and how do I fix it? :

Hey not sure if here is the right place, but some shows I have tried to play completely do not work on Seren. Law and Order: Special Victims Unit Season 20, from episode 14 onwards.

Seren doesn't find a lot of links, but the ones it does do not play back. On other addons (13Clowns) it finds them and can play them back, although it crashes for some reason after a few minutes playing.

websites like 123moviesnet.org work fine no issues.

Let me know if this is a bug or if it can be fixed from my end.

Thanks

Is the Hide Low Quality Content option supposed to hide SD quality?

SD quality is still being shown.

Auto Resume for Shows is not loading the next episode if the last one was fully watched.

Should it not resume the episode if we didn't finish it and if we did load the next one.

The last episode you have watched is loaded even if you have it marked as watched.

Is it possible to make it load the next episode and not the previous one.

Thank you

Is there currently a player for MetalliQ/Chappa'ai? If not, is there any plans to implement one?

Trakt integration is enabled and generally functional as evidenced by Lists populating, Trakt Bookmarks working to resume. The Next Up feature hangs with no apparent processing / progress loading on my installation.

Basic build info: Seren 0.1.24 / Kodi 17.6 / 4K Firestick. Only entry in log appears after clicking back or killing Kodi session:

13:26:59.491 T:18446744073370097952 ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting plugin://plugin.video.seren/?action=showsNextUp
13:26:59.495 T:18446744073370097952 ERROR: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory(plugin://plugin.video.seren/?action=showsNextUp) failed

Attending to exit (shut down) Kodi after this condition results in a hung Kodi which I must force kill due to:
13:27:34.516 T:18446744072873519392 ERROR: CPythonInvoker(17, /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.seren/seren.py): script didn't stop in 5 seconds - let's kill it

Incidentally, if just clicking back (instead of shut down), other other processes like viewing watchlist continue to function. Let me know if you require any additional information or testing.

Seren gets stuck on Starting link Resolver after cancelling out of Source select screen.

This is happening on Kodi 17.3 on an older Android dual boot libraelec that has no update available.

Whenever I play a trailer it always plays behind the menus. I have tried with other addons and the trailers play properly.

Hey Nix,

I wanted to share some errors I'm getting and not sure why I even installed from a back up that was working and still getting errors all over the place with Seren.

Here is my log file starting on line 586 you will see all the Seren errors I'm getting.

http://paste.kodi.tv/basuvixaju

Seems as if for instance I am trying to watch Episode 2 of Season 3 of The Flash
I will get a no playable sources found and then the addon appears to be looking for shows again after saying it is attempting to build a cache.... in fact it seems that if that episode fails then it will jump right to the next and if that fails to the next and so on (until I back out of add on)

I've heard that the folks over at RD are kinda asshats to customers and that slamming the API for torrents could get you banned for (a day?) or something unhappy.

I know for a fact that the one time I posted something to their forum that they didn't like they deleted the post and when I asked why they would do something like that my access to the forums was gone and it took me 2 months to gain access again.

Like I said - asshats (or expletive of your choice)

below you can see the cascading of episode torrent cache attempts and ones in progess.

Also what appears to be a duplicate in progress too (?)

maybe when a playable episode is not available, don't jump to attempting a new one automatically or ask or set a kodi bg task (or alarm etc) to update progress and then send a notification episode it ready or IDK - I defer to you on what you want to do.

I am just pleased you are writing this awesome add on and was more worried about the implications of RD and their irrational temper.

Thanks!!

So the lanscape artwork was working great before, it would show a screenshot from the episode but after the new update for .34 the artwork now shows a cut off version of the tv show poster.

Example before update:

https://i.imgur.com/56U2l5w.jpg

After update:

https://i.imgur.com/Bjhfm5P.jpg

Further if I check off "prefer fanart for landscape widgets"

I get this which is better but not the same screenshots from before

https://i.imgur.com/lsZ72Fi.jpg

Also noticed when I go into episode lists where normally i would see the screenshot for every episode it now just shows the poster, even if i change the view mode its always the same poster image.

Heres my logfile:

I keep getting Seren error and I made sure my Trakt was active in settings. Can’t tell if this is on my end?
http://paste.kodi.tv/tavufiliye

When starting Seren and navigating to the "Next Up" section it takes 15 minutes to show the list of episodes. In those 15 minutes nothing happens besides the spinner spinning.

debug kodi logfile: here
above log filtered for "seren": here

timeline of that logfile:

• 11:30 kodi start
• 11:31 seren/next up start
• 11:34-11:43 disabled screensaver 4x
• 11:46 list of episodes is shown

(for comparison: "New episodes" in 13 clowns takes 17s on the 400MBit/s line via ethernet)

Kodi 18 on Nvidia Shield
read-debrid and trakt.tv authorized.

I've tested this in a fresh install of Kodi 18.0, with only Seren 0.1.31 installed and Trakt authorized.

Testing using this Trakt list, which is sorted correctly on the website (by Title, ascending), I've got a number of odd sortings inside Seren. I recognize that this is a pretty large list, compared to some smaller ones... But there are also much larger lists available.

What could be causing this strange sorting?

The artwork for both the movie sections and TV shows in the new Realizer is amazing.

The clear logos load instantly and all the artwork has the name of the movie in the artwork.

Can we have an option to use this source?

If you compare the realizer list sections you will see in titan the clear logos are super fast to load as well as the artwork.

When changing the default order of any "personal" list and clearing cache the list ordered changed in seren with no issues.
However, Trakt movie watchlist always defaults to rank or recently added within seren no matter what sort order i choose in trakt.tv. I upgraded to latest developmental build, cleared cache, reauth trakt and still am having the same issue. This is occurring on 3 different trakt accounts and 3 different devices, Windows, RPi running LIBREelec and a nVidia Shield.
Scanning thru the seren megathread i've read few others mention the very same issue.
Thank you,

I use Seren with Trakt, I do not have the official Trakt addon. I also use the up-next addon.

I noticed that around 50% of the time, unaired episodes are adding to the playlist, due to idiots mislabeling episodes they actually end up playing. This would not be an issue as I just stop it when it starts, but my issue is that Trakt is marking it as watched. Adding a percentage needed to watch before marking as watched would fix this, or find a way to stop adding unaired episodes to the playlist.
I can honestly live with stopping the unaired episode, but the marking it as watched is annoying as I have to go into my history and unmark them.

At Kodi (and Seren too) the User can change the View Typ (Wall, InfoWall and so on...)

But there is a problem with the following sites after page 1

Kodi18 , Skin Estuary (and other skins too)

After page 1 there is always only List View

Changes in Seren (Custum) don't fix this problem

This Problem is in another Forks the same, bute the Problem is comeing up with Kodi18

Kodi17 no Problems

In Seren it is showing TV Episodes air date as one day later than their actual air date. For example, Big Bang Theory shows air date as 2/1 in Seren, but 1/31 in Trakt and TVGuide.

It's a great feature to check the local library in case I already have an item. But selecting a local item always fails with something like "no playable sources". I hope this can be fixed, Seren is really upping the ante.

Since seren updated to 0.1.29 I've noticed 2 links not working in discover movies, recommended for you and trending. When clicked the wheel spins very briefly and then nothing, you are still on the main discover movies menu.

I haven't checked every single link so far but tried about 5 others and they were working fine, if you'd like me to go through each one please just let me know.

I went to movie streams from a trakt list, and attempted to play one, it showed a black screen for a while and then after a while Kodi rebooted. It does this now for every stream.

I'm running LibreElec 8.2.5 (Linux 4.9.80)
and that is running: Kodi 17.6 Git:a9a7a20

There's a pastebin of the crashlog here.

The addon was working great for half a day, i hope i can get it working again, it looks great!
Thank you!

update: some tv links appear to be working now

Kodi Version: Kodi 18 RC1
Issue: Kodi crashes when Seren is requested to play an item directly from a widget.

How to reproduce:
Selecting to play any item within next up menu from a skin widget

Possible cause: Custom Dialog Windows

As soon as the next episode from NextUp starts playing it is marked as watched in Trakt immediately. It's only happening on Kodi 18. It's not doing that on Kodi 17.

Noticed that when i start watching a show from next up and i stop the show about 10 mins in, it gets marked as watched when i try to go back to it. Kodi 18 seren 1.29 up next installed as well.
