I was using Kodi 'No Limits' build without a problem until recently when I was being asked to subscribe to DEBRID when calling up TV programs. I saw many excuses for DEBRID being an economical subscription but I hate subscriptions. Is there a build that doesn't require a DEBRID subscription ?
If you're using it on a laptop or computer and not on a Kodi 'device', it's so much easier and useful. You can use the laptop to surf the web and do all of your other computery stuff.
Kodi is just a program that you run. You install one of several different video add-ons and away you go. The current build of Kodi is called Matrix and when they made this change, there was only one add-on that worked (The Oath). It works brilliantly with no problems. There are probably more out now, but I haven't looked.
If you have a VPN running (always recommended), just install it on any computer you have and see if you like it. There are walkthroughs of how to install the add-ons if you don't know how. It takes some getting used to.
You have to give the system a new data source for the add-on.
Then you install the zip file (likely from a safe GitHub repository).
Then you install the add-on FROM the zip file repository.
Then you have a little bit of configuration if you want like authorizing your Trakt account.
You're ready to go.
Like I said, it isn't for everyone. However, if you want to watch all of the tv you can handle (except for live), this is the way to go. I haven't paid for tv since satellite hacking was a thing. Kodi has made it so easy.
Note: all through this community you will see ads for VPNs. Once you have one installed, you are covered. Some newbies get it into their head that they have to install every VPN they see. No. Only one. You will see these ads everywhere, for good reason. Keep it on
all the time.
