Umbrella is one of the best addons so far. It is working great and getting frequent updates. Thanks for the developer.
Glad to see this. You’re welcome, enjoy!
I am so glad this community is here. My people.
I use fen, anyone know why umbrella seems to be getting more popular? I haven’t updated my add ons in a long time.
I’ve felt that the developer of Umbrella looked at the other addons, had a lot of the same sense of what needed tweaked that indo, and then made i happen. I’ve tried many of the others but Umbrella just works best for me. Although I do have a feature or two I’m going to request, like if it’s possible to sort sources by language that would be awesome. No more Russian audio.
You can avoid a lot of the Russian audio and such by setting a default language in your actual Kodi settings.
Kodi > Settings > Player > Language > Perferred Audio Language
Kodi > Settings > Player > Language > Preferred Subtitle LanguageThat small setting change will make a huge difference for the amount of foreign language titles you get.
I did that when I installed Kodi. I’m saying when I have a TV show set to autoplay after scraping and the result is a file that defaults to a foreign language. It would just be cooling we could set a preference for sources using our preferred language to be the top results. I have no idea how easy that is to implement but it would be awesome if possible.
there’s not really a way around that currently. I could try to implement some type of sorting system for language but it would still be dependent upon the actual file name. We cannot detect language packs or subtitles that are encoded with Kodi unfortunately. I did put in a feature request for Kodi 21 to give us more information on encoded subtitles, but there hasn’t been any traction on it.
Great. Thanks for the insight. I’ll give it a go.
A Fantastic addon that has evolved way beyond Venom (which was already a Kodi great.) Actively developing constantly, fast becoming an all time Kodi legend
