From what we received from users this seems to be caused by one or some addons, if you are using new addons you weren't using before probably remove those, some addons can misbehave on specific android versions so this might happen. We are searching for ways to prevent this type of behaviour on our side but un the meantime there is not much we can do since all the addons are 3rd party and we do not have any access to their code to check. If you can remove some addons from specific providers and see if that fixes it which it should if you remove the addons causing the issue. This error has been reported on android 8.0 , 7.0 , 7.1 on specific models. If you are running any android version appart from those please report it so we can add it to the list.

Im running oreo 8.0 on a Mi5 device.

Yes i have tested some addons one by one and app crashes after installing, but not immediately it does let me scroll to a movie and then crashes.

But if you're quick and movie is playing.. the app doesnt crash then.

I have just tested 3 of them and 1 on tv-shows where it doesn't crash. The addon moviehunter also doesnt make the app crash.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
The thing is add-ons can sometimes do background work so they might crash at random times, maybe when you are streaming content the add-ons don't make any requests so the app doesn't crash. If you find out which addon is causing this simply remove it and avoid installing it again, best way is to install addons progressively and not multiple at a time when you are encountering issues like these.
[Android Apps and Games] ColdUser:
Yes thats how im using the App right now, but sometimes a add-on doesn't load any movie and the App starts to search for other add-ons, and i have only 2 at the moment installed and sometimes both dont load a movie. Then you have to uninstall and install other add-ons to check it out.

Its still the best way for me to watch movies so i don't mind install and uninstall.

I see you spend some time on it last days optimizing the App. You will get there till now great work and thanx for you work

Hi there

I have just downloaded this app

It does not index local files on my phone

I have a Xiaomi MI8 running xiaomi.eu latest ROM

I have couple of movies and a TV series on my phone , it's located in separate folder under movies and shows respectively.

It just fails to index any local video , whereas I have archos video player installed too and that fetches perfectly.

Can you help ?
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello, you need to click on "more" on the main menu and then you should be requested to accept write/read storage permissions, the app can't index files if it hasn't requested storage permissions before. Have you granted write permissions to the app or not yet ?
[Android Apps and Games] pntba:
Ofcourse I have
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Very strange, I will take a closer look on this issue can you possible get a stack trace or something ? Anything to help debug the issue ? Do your files follow the naming guidlines at kokotime.tv/help ? Are you using a specific naming convention we should add to our algorithms ?
[Android Apps and Games] dalelindley76:
Really loving the app great feel and look still having trouble with episodes not loading which is a little frustrating is there a 3rd part addon place to try some different addons or are you still implementing new hosts

Real impressive work though please keep it up also going pro tomorrow thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello there,

Happy to know you are enjoying the app, sorry to hear you are having trouble, the episode list is provided by the addon so you can try switching to another addon that loads them faster. Not really sure if there are external repositories since our repository is open and all the addons on it are developed by the community so usually developers just upload it to the official repository. External repositories might start appearing as the app gains popularity though we'll see where it goes.
[Android Apps and Games] dalelindley76:
I really hope it grows its on a whole new level to the competition

Near on perfect I'd say

If can get the episodes not loaded then that's 4 apps I'd delete

Just installed a paid m3u sub and I'm impressed would love to see epg but I'm sure in time maybe will be implemented

Personally best app for my needs and the stream to ip is brilliant too

Might have a go at an addon on myself how difficult is it to do

Once again don't let this baby sleep its brilliant kudos
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
It's not going to sleep anytime soon, it's actually part of a software company now, only downside is our public addon store might need to get regulated but that's it, it will still be possible to link the addon store to another addon repository or download addons fron elsewhere.

Epg is actually in development and should be available very soon, maybe in a few days or a week

You will need some development experience in Java since all addons are in Java but if you have some experience in development it shouldn't be that difficult to do.
[Android Apps and Games] dalelindley76:
It's great to hear your quick response too not many devs like you. I really can't wait to see where you go with this app what about having a section or addon that can pull data from torrents as a back up option I know it's a slower way round things but could fill out some blacks
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
The issue is the app doesn't actually provide any media content, we moved the concept of the app away from that and concentrated more on developing a media center capable of running addons and with all the main features a media center is supposed to have, community developers are free to do as they please in their addons we leave everyone the liberty to develop or upload addons that fill their needs. We don't develop or upload any addons we leave that to the community and we concentrate more on the software itself. Maybe in the future more developers will start contributing and developing more addons for the app but this will take some time.
[Android Apps and Games] dalelindley76:
Ah I see never the less what a fantastic app I'm going to try and contribute with addons when I find the time because this concept of yours is really that good I may even create my own server which I have done in the past and try making it work within the app

Loving it thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Thanks for wanting to help, let us know if you need any help or assistance either through the app support system or here, we usually reply within the hour. Have fun !
[Android Apps and Games] dalelindley76:
Can't wait no timescales but I'm on it thanks very much speak soon
[Android Apps and Games] dalelindley76:
How do I pay with PayPal please and how much is it I've tried going through the app and the price has gone up to 15 euro I was trying to buy the other day and it was half that price

Cheers Dale
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello,

You can choose your payment method at the end of the checkout form after filling in your details, at the last step you will get payment options based on your location.

And yes sorry about that, we upped our prices since we upgraded our servers to prepare for the upcoming data synchronization between devices based on your account feature and a few more features that required a more powerful server. I believe the prices changed sunday. Again sorry..
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
We are currently developing an epg and in need of testing sources ( m3u and xmltv) if anyone can provide sources for testing feel free to contact us in private ! Thanks to all the koko users you are the best

not installing on firestick

Can't really install on fire stick, gives a detox error while installing and fails. Tried to install via ADB, Aptoide, etc same results...
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello, we can't really understand why this is happening it was installing on firestick before, did you previously have the app installed or is this the first time installing it ? Any info on your device will also be helpful.
[Android Apps and Games] assasukasse:
I did not have it installed on firestick before.

Its a standard firestick with voice remote bought around 1 year ago...

[Android Apps and Games] JUSTINMARMER:
Having same issue, testing a bit now.
[Android Apps and Games] JUSTINMARMER:
I have a Fire TV Stick V2. Kokotime will not install. I thought maybe it had been blacklisted by Amazon, so I cloned the app and changed the package name to bypass the block. Still won't install. So that tells me it's not blacklisted. Will look for older version APK to see if it will work. Maybe it can update if it does.

Edit: v2.2.7 installed, but updating fails.

Edit2: v2.2.9 is the last version that can install on firestick, but updating fails. Also, none of the add-ons actually work. Not sure if that's because this app sucks balls or if it is an older version, but my money is on the balls.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello,

There is still an issue on our side regarding the latest version on firestick, for some reason it is not installimg and we are attempting to fix the issue at the moment.

About the addons, the addon store is public and developers upload and remove addons as they please we don't have much control over addons on the addon store. Addons are not part of the app itself we don't develop them and we don't upload them. In time more and more developers will start contributing and developing addons for Kokotime, you should check the addon store from time to time and see if new addons are available or updates to the current ones you have installed are available as well.

If you need any further assistance you can contact us through the in app support system and we will get back to you within the hour.

Keeps crashing

It keeps crashing after the latest update like if i go channels it'll crash after few seconds and if i search something it'll do the same I'm running on Android 8.0
[Android Apps and Games] Brusington:
Maybe it just doesn't play well with 32-bit systems? I know most fire sticks are. It works like a charm on my buddy's fireTV gen 3 and my Android TV box. Those are both 64-bit.

Also on Amazon (at least in the US) Fire TV gen 3s are $39.99 USD right now which is the same for a stick. You'll find that the additional processing power and more ram will be way more than worth it. Any decent streaming device definitely needs this kind of power over any other/lesser setup.

Edit: also also, OS version could play a big roll in it as well. On the FireSticks, the latest OS version from Amazon is 5.2.6.6 which for Android version is just Lollipop 5.1.1. That could definitely mean something as far as it working correctly. Just assuming here.

The FireTV gen 3's latest OS version from Amazon is 6.2.5.3 which for Android version is Nougat 7.1
[Android Apps and Games] Lurien:
Can sport events be streamed with this app? Specifically boxing.. thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
The issue was fixed in the latest update, it turned out the version of fireOS was not behaving correctly with the latest android SDK updates so there was backwards compatibility issues. The latest version should install on firestick as usual now.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello, Kokotime is a media center and not a media provider, you would need to import an m3u or add your channel provider in order to use the built in channel player to stream the live content you want to watch, you could alternatively install third party addons from the addon store, addons have the capability of providing media content to the app from different media providers, however, addons being developed and uploaded by the community might not always behave as you would expect and since they are independent of the app there is not much we can do to fix that, it is up to the user to find and use the addons that fit their needs.
[Android Apps and Games] el80ne:
Can kokotime play DLNA files I'm serving on my desktop over my LAN? Currently I run a dlna client app like Mediahouse. Kodi does it out of the box but I'm not seeing how I can do that with kokotime.

Thanks for any advise anyone can offer.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello, support for local media servers will be added, there are plans for it but it is not yet available on the latest version. We'll try and leave you a comment when the feature is added.

Looks video removed.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello,

Something we could help you with ?
[Android Apps and Games] tvsteps:
They may also help you

I think asking these iptv providers to add yours will also work.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
The Kokotime mediacenter currently supports adding any iptv provider into the "Channels" section of the app. You simply need to enter the m3u url or import the m3u file locally. The supported live stream formats are .ts and .m3u8 .

Hey is the Anime plugin down for good?
[Android Apps and Games] cymBlood:
This app is dead or what?
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello,

As long as it has not been stated, the app is still in development. Customer support is available 24/7 and we are always working on bringing new features to the app. If you are referring to third party add-ons you might be using then I am afraid we cannot be of much help since those are not part of the app nor do we develop, release, or maintain them.
[Android Apps and Games] MrWilsonxD:
Kokotime still running great for me. More than a year later!
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
New update available with multiple new features and speed improvements. The entire core of the app has been reviewed and optimized for a more fluid and user friendly experience with minor design changes on mobile and tv. Update is available on xda labs and Google playstore. For full change log you cam check http://www.kokotime.tv/app/changelog
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
We have been receiving complaints on some devices running android 7.0/7.1/8.0 on specific CPU's described as continuous crashing few seconds or minutes after using the app. Users have have confirmed this being caused by a third party add-on that goes by the name "Housemovie" if you encounter such behavior we would advise you to check your installed add-ons.

Hi, i m not able to play any shows. i installed few addons and it shows the available shows but when i play the show it just loads n loads forever. i tried using all vpn's of all countries. pls need help. Do i need to do anything else? am i missing any step? pls help. thanks
[Android Apps and Games] night_dev:
Have the same issue.

Moto Z force. Android 8.0
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello, does it load forever or does it notify you when no sources are provided by your installed add-ons ? It is important to note that Kokotime does not have its own media providers. Users need to install 3rd party add-ons in order to import media content. It is possible your installed add-ons do not provide compatible video sources for the content you are attempting to stream.
[Android Apps and Games] mascian:
Sorry, I installed Kokotime on two Tv Box (Android 4.4 and Android 6). In both it does not find the USB directory, so it does not see my files (while other programs see the directories without problems). Should I install some add-ons? Thank you so much.

[MENTION=7273721]Scrdev94[/MENTION]

Could you indicate which add on to install that is compatible with Kokotime? Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello,

Could you please describe what you mean by usb directory ? Are you talking about the filemanager or the movie/tvshow indexing ?
[Android Apps and Games] mascian:
Thanks for the reply; no, I'm talking about the Kokotime indexing. I have installed and launched Kokotime and can not find any directories except the default one (it does not see external hard disk USB). Even your file manager does not see the external hard drive... how can I find it? Thank you so much (and sorry my poor English)
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
You're welcome, we haven't had the opportunity to test an external usb with the indexing system. We will test it and make sure the system takes into account external usb as well. We will leave a message here once a new update is available with a fix. Sorry for the inconvenience.
[Android Apps and Games] mascian:
Thank you, very much! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello, we attempted to add external storage indexing on the nee update. Your device wont be visible in the file manager but the app will scan it for movies/shows once it's connected to rhe device.
[Android Apps and Games] mascian:
You are the Best!!

Thank you, very much! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] mascian:
I have updated the application, deleted data/cache and reboot the TV Box (Himedia 5 with external USB HDD); I attach a movie but, as you can see, it does not see any files.

Thanks for your interest ;)

https://vimeo.com/315612847

P.S.:

I have a doubt: if I have to install some add-ons first?
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello, may I know which format your media content is ? Have you followed the file naming convention on our website at kokotime.tv/help ? Can I see a small screenshot of the path of your usb ?

Add-ons are not related to the app, they are as there name States, a way to add content to the app. The media indexer is part of the app and does not require any third party add-ons to function correctly. Third party add-ons will allow you to stream media content depending on the media provider the add-on uses. They are only a way to get access to more media content online.
[Android Apps and Games] mascian:
[MENTION=7273721]Scrdev94[/MENTION]

Is it good in this way? I filmed the directories :)

https://vimeo.com/315647573

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] mascian:
[MENTION=7273721]Scrdev94[/MENTION]

Sorry, I was busy.

In practice, the media directories I usually use are these:

Movies:

/sdcard/movies/folder with name of film/name_number episode.mkv

Series:

/sdcard/media/shows/folder with name of serie/folder with name season/name_number episode.mkv

Is it possible that the program does not recognize anything?

Thx
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello, missed your previous post. It could be possible your naming convention is not the same as ours. We're working on a way to let users set their own naming convention as it might be annoying to have to rename your files. Also are your movies not showing as well or only shows ? And are your file names in English or in another language ?

Here is our default naming convention :

Movies :

/sdcard/movies/2017/Big_Buck_Bunny.mp4

/sdcard/movies/Big_Buck_Bunny.mp4

/sdcard/movies/2017/Big_Buck_Bunny.mp4

/sdcard/2017/Big_Buck_Bunny_Movie.mp4

Shows :

/sdcard/media/shows/My_Little_Margie/My_Little_Margie_S1_E1.mp4

/sdcard/media/shows/My_Little_Margie/My_Little_Margie_season_1_episode_1.mp4

/sdcard/media/shows/My_Little_Margie/My_Little_Margie_s1e1.mp4

The file name must at all times contain the show name, the season and the episode, without this info your show will not be indexed. Episode and season indicators can be formatted in various ways :

My_Little_Margie_S1_E1.mp4

My_Little_Margie_Season_1_Episode_1.mp4

My_Little_Margie_Season1_Episode1.mp4

Seperators dont have to be "_" thry can be "." Or empty space or anything else.
[Android Apps and Games] mascian:
Yes, they all are renamed in english and both movies and shows aren't recognized by your program.

Thank a lot for your availability ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
You're most welcome, I edited my previous post with our current conventions you can take a look.
[Android Apps and Games] mascian:
@ Scrdev94

Ok, I tried in different ways without solving; I attach screenshots (I also tried not to use any separator, between the names).
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Those namings should all work, I think the app still can't access your media for some reason, will try again and see if we can solve the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Bronnel:
[MENTION=7273721]Scrdev94[/MENTION] thank you and the other great devs for this amazing app, I discovered this app yesterday while searching google for "media indexers for android" , my device is LG V30 + running stock android oreo 8.0 , but it seems the app is not detecting my movies or tv shows on my device's internal storage neither the external sdcard , I can browse through the Filemanager just fine, but it is not indexing my movies and shows, my movies are in mp4 format are inside movie folder like this for example : mad_max_fury_road.mp4 , I don't know what I'm doing wrong can you help me please, thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello Bronnel, happy to know you are enjoying the app, it is strange that your media is not getting indexed. We are working on incresing the compatibility on certain devices, the media indexer uses something called a media content resolver that is provided by the android sdk, but sometimes it is not available so the app manually scans your files. When manually scanning, some storages are not getting indexed we are working on fixing this so I will ask you some questions to help us solve this problem. First of all have you tried following the naming conventions on our website at kokotime.tv/help ? Are the movies not getting indexed on local/external storage or on both ? Have you tried forcing a library index in the settings of the app ? When you do does it tell you how much files got scanned ?
[Android Apps and Games] Bronnel:
Thank you so much for your help, to answer your questions, yes I followed the exact naming conventions in kokotime.tv/help, they are not getting indexed on either of internal storage or external sd card, I also tried forcing library index in setting and it tells me that 22 files scanned. but still nothing shows up in movies or tv shows.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Very strange behavior indeed, do you have an internet connection on that device or not ? Could you possibly give me the exact path of one of your files ?
[Android Apps and Games] Bronnel:
yes I have a very fast wireless connection about 18 Mbps download speed, here is the location of the files

/sdcard/movies/mad_max_fury_road.mp4

/sdcard/movies/the_equalizer/the_equalizer.mp4
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Are you free to try a test version right now to see if it sokves your problem ?
[Android Apps and Games] Bronnel:
thank you , yes I'm free right now , i will test it asap
