KODI does not provide content, so if a third party content provider is down, it is not the fault of KODI, nor can KODI do anything about it. You also don't blame your browser when a website is down ;)

The KODI Foundation DOES NOT sell any hardware and is not related to whoever is selling this stuff. I am sorry to say, but you likely got scammed and unfortunately are not the only one in this situation.

Unfortunately there is not much we (the KODI Foundation) can do about it, because as soon as one site got taken down (which we did after theses scams had been brought to our attention), 10 others show up under different domains. So it's a game of whack-a-mole, and KODI simply lacks the funding and manpower to go after each and every one of them legally.

Mark. I just read your message again and noticed that you wrote that you bought the device because it had KODI on it.

Please never do that, there is absolutely no reason to ever do such a thing. KODI is free software and is available to download for free in so many ways (Google PlayStore, Huawei App Gallery, Windows App Store, Flathub and more. See https://***/download/ for all download possibilities). So if you are on a budget and would like to get KODI on your TV (if it does not run AndroidTV), the cheapest way probably would be to get something like a Amazon FireTV Stick (when on sale) and install KODI on it (see https://***/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_on_Fire_TV for instructions).

If sideloading on the FireTV is to difficult, just grab any Android box that has the Google PlayStore (it's usually advertised if it is available on the device) and install KODI from there with one click. Devices like the "Chromecast with Google TV" or the "Onn AndroidTV box" from Wallmart are good and affordable options. The onn.tv box is probably the cheapest and easiest way to get a KODI capable box with a userfriendly AndroidTV UI and an easy way to install KODI (via the Google Play Store) if it is available to you in your country. If you are still unsure what to do, feel free to ask for help on our forums ( https://forum.*** ).

But as always, please try to search first if your question might have already been answered before you write it (there are comprehensive buyers guides on there). I hope this is helpful to anyone looking for a cheap device to run KODI.

Thank you for your reply. Low life people in this world.

Using Kodi in there efforts to scam honest people. I also contacted YouTube as that was where I got all the info on the TV box after seeing it on Google. I must have run over a Chinese man. Prior to this around three weeks I was scammed by by an Alien tv box distributor who I paid through PayPal.

They told me they couldn’t help me. I replied that one of their customers scammed me are they supporting scammers. I doubt very much that I will see my money again.

All up $313 I’m retired so there goes me ever getting a tv box. Again thank you for your reply.

That's very unfortunate and I am sorry that this happened to you. I had written another reply yesterday that detailed that you should never buy a device just because it comes with KODI pre-installed, but it somehow wasn't published yet.

KODI is free software and if you just grab a random AndroidTV box that meets your requirements (HD, 4K, etc) and does come with support for the Google PlayStore (which is usually advertised on cheap chineese Android boxes), it's just a one click installation from the official Google Play App-Store. If you have Wallmart in your country, you could also just grab an onn.tv Android TV box for like $20 (should also have the PlayStore and runs KODI just fine). Then there is the "Google Chromecast with AndroidTV" (the "with AndriodTV" part is important here) which can also be gotten for cheap (at least the HD version).

Or you could grab any Amazon FireTV (which you can get quite cheap, especially on sale) and sideload KODI there (there are many tutorials on how to do this). If you are still unsure or need help, do not hesitate to visit our forums.

No connectivity for Netflix

It( Kodi Smart TV box)continuing says it can't connect to Netflix retry, and when I do, it doesn't catch..keeps saying Retry. As well as, all data from Catmouse hasn't popped up in 8 months.

I use it (Kodi Smart TV box) from time to time, do I'm confused as towards if you don't utilize it, it erases itself? So disgruntled and upset with your device

Pros:
  • Convenient more than cable service
Cons:
  • Depending upon inclement weather it may may not function

Preferred solution: Netflix and Catmouse up and running.

The KODI Foundation does not sell hardware. So if you have a "Kodi Smart TV box", it is from a third party and not KODI.

Please consult the vendor or seller of the device for help, since nobody knows in which way KODI has been altered by them (and what possibly illegal crap they have put on there, as it is the case with most of these boxes if you managed not to get scammed by the sellers). As for the Netflix add-on: it is not an official add-on by Netflix and also not part of the add-on repository maintained by the team behind KODI.

So it's third party and the KODI team can't help you with it. Just make sure you always have the latest version of the add-on, as unofficial add-ons can break from time to time due to changes done by the content provider.

please contact the authors of the add-ons you are using to watch sports content. These add-ons are thrid party and not part of KODI.

If the add-on provides access to sport streams you normally would have to pay for, then the add-ons are illegal and not supported by KODI in any way.

Due to the nature of these add-ons (being illegal), they break frequently. So if such an add-on breaks, please consult the website you got these add-ons from for help or the author of affected add-ons.

if you lost the database with your local movies, just recreate it by re-indexing your local movie collection. If you are talking about loosing all the piracy add-on crap which you used to watch movies and tv-shows illegally, then you are on your own.

KODI does not provide these kind of add-ons. So you need to consult the piracy groups for help you got these add-ons from.
