Anyone here using trakt? i have install it but when i open the "my movies" on exodus, it mentioned no trakt connection. Do i need to set up something?
*
yes you need to authorize trakt to link to addons.
go to the settings of the addon, most of it has a tab for "Accounts" or something.
if there's Trakt, press on it. follow steps on screen.

of course the pre-requisite is to have a trakt account...

Try Elementum. Find it more stable than Quasar

i couldn't get Elementum to work. couldn't resolve magnet link or something.
after hours of googling, gave up and reverted back to Quasar.

Usually when I face this kind of issues in Kodi, I will remove the plugin and reinstall. You can refer to http://elementum.surge.sh/getting-started/installation/
*
ya did that twice with device reboot between it. and Quasar was disabled before i install Elementum.

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Feb 25 2020, 06:36 PM)
I have been using quasar for a few years now, been very stable.
*
agreed. that's why it's my safety net laugh.gif
but Elementum is more updated, that's why thought of trying.

QUOTE(voncrane @ Feb 26 2020, 07:04 AM)
Couldn't resolve magnet link could also mean there were no links for the chosen title OR could mean something else too. If you want to give Elementum another go? I'd suggest a factory reset, ensure your device's ROM is latest.. Flash a better custom if you have too (I'm running a custom ATV ROM). Take note to install the "All-in-one" zip rather than the platform specific variants. Before doing, wait until Kodi has updated all of it's core addons. Exit properly, reboot the system and install again. Burst should prompt for installation afterwards, else same thing applies, install the "All-in-one" version. Might resolves the issue.
You should try Elementum again... Recently reinstalled the latest on a fresh system and zero stability issues till date. So I've relegated Quasar to second best p2p addon. Besides, Elementum is more updated... Now different device and running custom ATV ROM though. Kodi library integration and auto-sync with Trakt works flawlessly too.
*
i tried the same title with Quasar and it was fine.
had been using an enhanced ROM from freaktab for years. no more updates for the old Alfawise H96Pro+ laugh.gif
it actually could connect to the providers to get the magnet link but couldn't resolve it with or without VPN.
i think i installed the specific version instead of all-in-one. will try again with all-in-one when i'm free.
all my shenanigans with Elementum happened in Dec 2019. agreed that it works flawlessly with Trakt and faster than Quasar too.

thanks sifu for the advice notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

This shouldn't be... Your device still the Alfawise H96Pro+ running a custom fw? I've setup several more recent boxes, multiple variations of custom ROMs and mods, etc... And in each instance, no issue simply installing the latest Kodi from Play Store and all-in-one Elementum zip.. Simply works.. No VPN required..Also afaik, no isp throttling applied either.
*
yes weird indeed. don't think it's related to ISP too. router running DHCP with CloudFare and Google DNS.
maybe i'll do a little bit more testing later on the MCO by resetting the router default DNS, and disabling IPv6.

Dude, I'm using Elementum as well, this is what I did when I had the same issues like you. In the Burst configuration you need to disable proxy and choose the ones has the Google DNS and etc. I cannot remember the exact options and this works for me flawlessly. On my router I'm using Quad9 DNS.

As per Voncrane sifu's advice, Elementum simply awesome  thumbup.gif

yes tried proxy disabled, and using public DNS...the "download" window will prompt but it seems like couldn't connect to seeds. download speed is 0. once i connect my VPN, it immediately starts downloading laugh.gif bangwall.gif

Truly weird, cuz the both the Elementum & Burst addon seems to be working (cuz can search & offer available links...even download window pops out).. What ISP are you using though? Cuz on the router level, you seem to be doing alright. Have you got a PC or an Android phone? Try install Kodi and Elementum, using the same network.. See if it works without the VPN. hmm.gif

i'm on Unifi 500Mbps. let me try with my PC soon...

Alright.. do report back.

confirmed something wrong with the box. probably the OS. running on Android 7.1.2 though.

using my PC on the same network, worked fine without VPN. same movie, same provider..PC starts download almost immediately. the box 0KB/s until timeout bangwall.gif
i hard reset the box so it's clean installation of Kodi and Elementum.

failed experiment. now gotta setup everything again laugh.gif

Haha.... Sorry for the extra work. We’ve all been there. But hey, at least you now know for sure it’s just that device and not a network issue..  smile.gif

yes agree. necessary experiment. at least i know maybe my next device would not need a VPN to use Elementum.
i wonder if the original firmware will work without VPN...nah too lazy to test laugh.gif

That's mean the main reason using vpn is for streaming without restrictions & not to avoid any hackers or legal issues?
*
no. the main reason i use vpn because i want to use elementum. stopping illegal streaming in Asia not as important as US/EU i feel.
and sometimes, i use it to remove geo restrictions too

Oic, this vpn I saw a lot of its advertisement

fastest i've seen is almost 7MB/s download speed in Elementum if the source is fast which correlates with the 80-90Mbps download in speedtest.
i'm using unifi 500Mbps so the reduction is crazy but still fast enough for me, for now.
i've never tried other paid VPNs though.
