How a Kodi addon works

A big Thank you to Tommy over at Entertainment Repo for sharing this information with us – How a Kodi addon works

​Welcome guys in this blog Tommy shows us how one of his addons works, this is an interesting read maybe it will inspire one of you to have a go at making your very own addon.

This is ​rlseries.com site new episodes page.

The add-on scrapes the information off of the site. i.e picture, link to page (where the hosts or seasons are) & Name.

 

 

This is the next page on the site Episodes are displayed.

As you can see on this page we scrap the info about the episode, The IMDB info & the Names & links to the next pages where the links are.

577980

 

This is the last page where the links to the host are displayed on the site

On this page are the links/hosts that you can use to stream links that are supported in URLresolver & the Debrid resolver if you have an account they will show up in the add-on.
This is where the add-on passes over to URLresolver which will resolve the link & play via Kodi player.
As you can see we have NO control over what hosts/links they post.
We don’t post any content on these sites we just scrape them for information.
Sometimes host resolvers stop working & the URLresolver devs will fix them when reported.
Sometimes links get dmca takedown notices & site hosts have to remove the links.
We can only scrape what the site has, if the site doesn’t have an A/Z section the add-on can’t have an A/Z section.
​If the site has a less functional search then the add-on will have a less functional search.
If sites change their layouts, code or move URL, the add-on will stop working or won’t work the way it’s meant to.

Most sites don’t like us scraping their sites due to loss in add revenue.
Some sites/hosts try to block/stop are add-on scraping their sites.
Some sites can’t be scraped or are just to much of a headache to do so.

This is just a brief insight into how our add-ons work, sometimes there can be hours & hours of coding involved to get the add-on working the way we want.

Not all add-ons are the same, different Devs code in different ways.
