How To Setup Seren Kodi Add-On

Once you have Seren installed, you must follow the instructions below to properly setup the add-on. This will enable the scrapers that serve up the Movies and TV Shows for streaming.

I will also show you how to enable and authorize Real-Debrid or Premiumize which is needed to use the Seren Add-on.

Use the steps below to Setup Seren on Kodi.

1. Open the Seren Kodi add-on and Click Tools

2. Click Open Settings Menu

3. Click the toggle to Enable Real Debrid or if using Premiumize turn that on – you can use both if you have them

4. Click Authorize Real Debrid (if using Premiumize you will need to input API code which is your PIN that you can find in your account)

5. Enter code at the following link: https://real-debrid.com/device

(Reminder: You must make sure your VPN is OFF when authorizing real-debrid, you may turn it back on once paired properly with Seren)

6. After authorizing, Click OK

7. Return to Tools option in Seren and Click Provider Tools

9. Choose Web Location

10. Type the following URL exactly as it is listed here: http://bit.ly/a4kScrapers and click OK

11. Click Install

12. Click OK

13. Go back to page where you can enter the Open Settings Menu option again

14. Play Style – change this to Source Select if you would like to choose the source to play (I recommend this) – then click OK button on right

15. Change Preferred Cloud Location to whichever service you are using or prefer – then click OK button on right

16. Go to Scraping / Minimum Sources and change to 20 to display more sources to choose from

The higher the number you set, the longer it will scrape for sources (I personally set this to 20)

17. When you choose a source, pay attention to the file size for those that are listed – smaller file size will result in less buffering

That’s it! You can now enjoy this awesome add-on and all the features it provides.

Seren Kodi Troubleshooting

If you receive the message “No playable sources” when using this addon, try the following.

1. Make sure your Real-Debrid account is active.  Yes, you must have purchased their premium account for this to work which costs approximately $6 per month.  Many people don’t stay on top of this and don’t realize when their subscription has expired.

Login to Real-Debrid here to verify that your account is active.

2. Try rebooting your device.  Unplug power, let sit for a few minutes and then plug back in.

3. If using a VPN, make sure that it is turned OFF when pairing Real-Debrid and Seren Kodi addon.

Protect Yourself With A VPN When Using This Technology

Most cord-cutters use a VPN to hide their Internet activity while streaming movies, TV shows, and live channels.

If you aren’t using a VPN when accessing free or low-cost media, your Internet Service Provider, government, hackers, and app developers can log everything that you do online.

The most popular VPN among cord-cutters is IPVanish due to their blazing fast speeds and zero log policy.

Its important to use a VPN that is fast since we are streaming large HD files.  Its also crucial to find one that keeps no logs of what their subscribers access while online.

Setting up IPVanish VPN on your streaming device is simple!



Step 1 Register for an IPVanish VPN account by clicking the link below.

This exclusive link provides you with a hefty discount, only available to TROYPOINT visitors like you.

Step 2 – Hover over the search icon on your Firestick, Fire TV, or Fire TV Cube and type in “Ipvanish”

You may also find the IPVanish App in the Google Play Store for those of you who are using Android TV Boxes, phones, and tablets.



Step 3 – Click the IPVanish VPN option that appears.



Step 4 – Click the IPVanish icon under Apps & Games.



Step 5 – Click Download.



Step 6 – Click Open.



Step 7 – Enter  your username and password to login.  Your username is the email that you used to register for IPVanish service with and your password is automatically generated and emailed to you.



Step 8 – Click Connect button.



Step 9 – Click OK for Connection request if it appears.



Step 10 – You will notice that your IP Address changes along with location of connection.  You are now operating anonymously through your device.

Click the Home Button on your remote and the VPN will remain running in the background.



Congratulations!  You are now protected by a VPN which means everything that you stream or access through your Firestick or Android TV Box is hidden from the rest of the world.

If you ever need to stop the VPN service, simply re-launch the application and click the DISCONNECT button.
