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

8. Click Install Provider Package

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.

Once you have setup Seren within Kodi, it is easy to see the differences it has from other add-ons. Auto-play is turned on as a default but this can be changed if you would like. To do so, open the Settings Menu and change Play Style to Source Select.

To access the full power of Seren, you will also want to authorize a Trakt.tv account. If you do not have an account, you can register for a free membership using the link below. Trakt allows you to sync all your content across various platforms and devices.

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.
