How to Fix Kodi No Stream Available Error in Addon

There are many reasons why the “No Stream Available” error shows up including episode or movie does not contain any source links, and deleted or outdated add-on that does not have updated source links or Kodi unable to resolve URL of source link. Below are a few tested quick guides that will help you to resolve the “No Stream Available” error shown in Kodi streaming.

Potential Causes

• Video file is large or ultra-high-quality may causing timeout for unstable connection.
• Old or outdated version of plugin or addon installed on Kodi.
• Video content might not be available anymore.
• Security, firmware, or network technical issue.

Pre-check

• First thing is to make sure that all the plugin and addon is properly installed and updated.

Solution 1: Update Kodi URL Resolver

1. Click on small gear icon at the top left corner of the screen to enter Kodi’s System page.

4. In the Expert mode, scroll up to the Add-ons section and click on Manage dependencies.
5. Click on URLResolver and select Update.

Solution 2: Check if source is available

The “no stream available” error on Kodi may also stem from the unavailability of the desired source. This could be due to server maintenance or other technical difficulties, such as network disruptions.

In such instances, it’s advisable to select an alternate source within the same add-on. If the problem continues, consider switching to a different add-on. Should these methods fail, it’s likely the content you’re seeking has been removed or does not exist.

Particularly, older content that has fallen out of popularity may be purged from source libraries. Conversely, very recent releases, such as new box office hits, may not yet be available for streaming. It’s essential to verify the availability of content to ensure a seamless streaming experience on Kodi.

Solution 6: Slow Internet Speed

At the very minimum, you need a 10mbps connection. However, 25-50mbps is much more preferred, as you get to stream seamlessly, without experiencing any buffering issues. Refer to the minimum download speed requirements recommended to stream Netflix as below:

• Standard Video: 3 Mbps
• High Definition (1080p): 5 Mbps
• 4K Video: 25 Mbps

You are not going to have a smooth stream if you have 2Mbps download speed when trying to stream 1080 HD movies on Kodi.

Use fast.com or SPEEDTEST to find out your current download speed.

Solution 7: Update to the Latest Stable Version of Kodi

Update to the latest version of Kodi installed on an android box or PC is a must to ensure that the Kodi app is compatible with all the latest addons. The latest and most stable version of Kodi is Kodi v18.5 “Leia”. To check the Kodi’s version installed, go to System > System Information and the version number shown at the bottom right of the screen.

Solution 8: Use VPN

One of the most common reasons for the “No Stream Available” error is getting throttled, filtered, or Geo-Blocked by ISP. Using a trusted VPN to solve “No stream available” is one of the advised methods to protect the identity and fix the “No Stream Available” error.

VPN solves this issue by encrypting all the data that is coming in and going out of the computer or android box. Another added benefit of using a VPN is it allows you to watch shows that were previously region locked.
