I tried setting up Seren twice on my Kodi but had many issues. First time it just made my entire Kodi unstable, it crashed every ~20 minutes. Re-installed Kodi, then tried to install Seren, and had many issues again. E.g. missing dependencies, tried to install them manually, failed, etc. I'm running OSMC on a Vero, perhaps that's the reason. Also not a fan of installing 3rd party repos on Kodi.
So, I'm using the alternative solution with the Yatse app. In Stremio I select External Player, and then I can select Yatse => Play Media and then it starts playing on the Kodi.
Are you using a Kodi version older than Matrix? Seren doesn’t work well on older version.
I'm on the latest Kodi v20. Just after installing Seren, which was already problematic due to Failed Dependency errors I had to resolve manually, I got random bsod (with the sad smiley) Today got another bsod so I now think the hardware is just dying.
Kodi is just a pita for many things. I'm tech savvy but it's just too complicated to eg get ad free YouTube (which is flaky at best), or Realdebrid via Seren. It works perfectly for videos from my NAS.
stremio is a lot better IMO
Yeah Kodi sucks balls sometimes, like on my AppleTV it occasionally just uninstalls the addons i've installed, but it's the only media player capable to use Alldebrid on an AppleTV.
