Amazing apk

ill first start of by saying this an amazing apk it has so much potential to beat other apks and even beat kodi in my opion thankyou to the devs/dev for kokotime keep up the great work.

Here are my sugestions to make kokotime even better than what already is:

1) Global search on home screen having the option of either searching through the users libary of movies and tv shows and/or have the option search through a specific addon or multiple instead have to going through the individual addon.

2) The cast isnt very clear on whether you have it selected or not you can make the cast feature even better by enabilling the user to click on the cast members and possibly directors to see what other movies/tv shows they are in and what movies they have directed

3) Suggested movies amazing feature through addon devs

4) Through search i dont know if there would be any way of doing this on firetv becuase in my exprience i havent seen any apks include a voice search it would be a great little feature since we have amazon alexa built into their remote

Last and final suggestion

5) when kokotime becomes really popular and i mean more popular than terraium showbox popcorn time plex and even kodi because of how simplyfied but very complex under the hood it is you should consider devolping the app for other platforms (ios,uwp on windows for xbox compaitibility) and if you want more people to get pro include some killer feautres that you could live without but you wouldnt want to eg: airplay/chromecast to kokotime or the option to change colors themes although you could let devs themselves make thems and sell them on kokotime for free or paid and you get 30% of the profit amazing features like these that you dont need but would be amazing if you did have them.

AND AGIAN THANK YOU FOR MAKING KOKOTIME KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello there, thanks for the feedback and support it's always a pleasure to see that users are enjoying the app. About your suggestions :

1) Global search on homescreen is coming, already working in it with the ability to search through everything local library and addons.

2) I wasn't aware about the selection issue of the cast, I will make it more clear and look into adding more info about an actor.

3) Suggested content might be added either as part of the app (will need the search function to be implemented first so you can find out where the suggested content is available) or as an addon page so addon devs can generate suggested content.

4) About the voice search I'm not really sure how this can be done, normally when typing if voice search is available you can do a voice search, but I haven't added this natively in the app yet but I was thinking about working on full media voice navigation ( say play/pause to control playback etc) but this was more of a concept and will take time before I start working on it.

5) I doubt it will before it is finally finished, the app is still in development and kind of unstable, I only released it so I can get proper feedback to allow me to debug and develop it correctly, working on it only when I have the time is whats causing it to take so long ot get finished.

In the beginning Chromecast/Universal cast were part of the premium features ( Yes the app already has casting available if you haven't already noticed, you just need to deactivate direct play in the apps settings to get the play options) but then I made them free with ads so everyone can enjoy it since it adds more features to the app. I will sure be adding more features to the app once I finish perfecting the ones that already exist. I highly doubt I will add themes however since a uniform look and colors is what makes Kokotime Kokotime if themes were added it will loose its unique touch, but I will see what other features can be added.

Again thanks for the feedback and hope you are enjoying the app, feel free to leave anymore suggestions ?

New feature I just though of

I just though of this option don't know if it's silly or not but when you implement a global search on home screen for fire tv when pressing the 3 lines on remote options button maybe it can open up search when you press it or have a few options and one of them be search.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
I didn't even know controllers had a menu button, do all of the have that button ?
[Android Apps and Games] honor9Lite:
Reply

I don't think so but it's more of a amazon and google feature don't think most 3rd party remotes have the 3 burger lines options button on them
[Android Apps and Games] honor9Lite:
Request

Next up nextflix style notification like 60secs before episode finishes

The media player could you add skip 30 secs instead of skipping massive chunks also voice commands on fire tv "skip 5 mins,play next episode"

When the sources are broke or not working make it switch to another one also have it so the default link is highest setting

Also a Reddit would be nice for the community

Thank you Have an amazing day

Kokotime already has a Reddit http://https://www.reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/6pthdm/kokotime_app_official_supportquestions/?ref=share&ref_source=link. It is located on the kokotime official website.

Hi. Great app. I think the setup of it is the best I've ever seen for Android. If you have time to help me I would appreciate it. I have several movies in a folder labeled "movies" sans the quotation marks. Kokotime will display quite a few of them but not all. I also have created a folder called "shows" But it will not display any of the videos in that folder. I read the help page for such problems on your website and followed the instructions. I'm running lollipop 5.1.1 rooted Grand prime. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
[Android Apps and Games] woelke:
Two questions, please

1. How do I get my TV to display the movies and TV in full screen?

2. Why is it when I select a TV show (Star Trek Voyager my option is to use a 30 day free trial period or pay $ per episode?

Thank you so much
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello,

What do you mean you are being requested to pay ?? This is certainly not normal, Kokotime will never request a payment to watch any content, could you please show me a screenshot of what you are describing ? Are you sure you are using the same app ?
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello, how is it you are naming your shows exactly ? And about the movies which ones are not displaying ? Names ? Are there any special characters in the names ? How much movies do you have in total ?

And thanks for the feedback !
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Thanks for the suggestions, I will start working on all that in a few days, I have been in exams for over a month and didn't have time to work correctly on the app, will get to it when I finish ?
[Android Apps and Games] Supernewt:
Movie title example is Guardian's of the Galaxy Volume 2.mp4 . Show example is Death Note Episode 35 Malice. 43 videos in show folder. 24 videos in movie folder.
[Android Apps and Games] woelke:
screen shot

Wow! You guys are fast!

I downloaded kokotime for the first time 20 minutes ago so, no, I am not sure of anything. I got the movies to play no problem but the TV show Star Trek Voyager wanted a payment. What I did was, I entered the search option and typed in Star Trek Voyager and received the screen with the offers. I am trying to get the screenshot to you but it is on my phone but this message is on my computer not my phone and I don't see how to send it through this reply board. It looks like the Amazon service screen.

[Android Apps and Games] Thesandman16ca:
U sure it wasn't an ad.. There are ads in kokotime
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
For shows you need to specify the the season on the file name, always season and episode on file name.

About the movie, try removing the ' in Guardian's , so it will be "Guardians"
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
What you are describing seems quite suspicious, Kokotime will never request payment for content provided by add-ons except if the add-on itself forwards you to a provider website that requires payment ( google movies, hulu, etc) but this never happens when browsing content.

The only ads that show are during the video player itself.

I will need to see what you are describing but again this seems very strange. Please try and show me an image or screenshot but it sounds like some sort of malware or adware, Kokotime will not request any payment like you described, where did you install the app from ?
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Ads are only shown on the video-player, it looks like he is describing something else but thanks for pointing that out
[Android Apps and Games] Supernewt:
Did as you said and unfortunately no difference

Also when I try to index the shows it does not give the loading symbol once I click the movies not indexed button it just disappears
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Could you possible leave me a list of movie names and show names of your files so I can do some tests with them and see where the issue might possibly be ? Just 5-10 file names
[Android Apps and Games] rodogg88:
I think his message holds the answer.

sounds like he may have installed kokotime to a firestick, fire tv or amazon product and is using the amazon interface to search kokotime for content. see example search result screen attached

the 30 day free trial would be to amazon prime and the $ would be to watch an episode or buy the episode
[Android Apps and Games] honor9Lite:
Good luck on your exams man

Good luck on your exams hope you pass em

hey Scrdev, most remotes do but controllers dont

this is the official amazon fire controller: [IMG="Amazon image"]https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91RfgNjjxUL._SX355_.jpg[/IMG]

this is what the remote looks like: [IMG="remote"]http://www.aftvnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/amazon-fire-tv-voice-remote-old-new.jpg[/IMG]

Most devices have the same buttons, some dont and others have either more or different buttons

Agreed! Would like to make this my main center but not sure I'll renew premium (in a few months) unless Trakt comes along. For the exact reason stated above.
[Android Apps and Games] r-l:
Trakt & Real-debrid are a must for me. Apps or addons that don't have them I'll skip.

Still keeping my eye on this and hopefully it will be useful to me in the future.

Hey there [MENTION=7273721]Scrdev94[/MENTION], awesome app. Been using since the early days.

I'm not sure if this was already suggested, but is there anyway to make the video continue buffering while paused? Most of the shows pause continuously even though I've got a decent connection. And when I pause the video, I realise that the buffering pauses as well.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello eevreyone,

First of all I apologise for my absence on the forums and the support mails, I am in the process of registering a company that will handle Kokotime the company will be located in Egypt, different support will be added including mail and telephone support to offer the best support to our users. I will be unavailable untill mid march, I will try and push a big update before leaving and respond to all your mails.

Thank you for your support guys I wouldn't have reached this stage without you !

Big thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello, thanks for this info I will adapt the apps behaviour to be valid on all remotes !
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
You need to add the sdk as a library in the build configuration, you should follow the developers section on our website at http://kokotime.tv/addons
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
I am looking for a solution to add Trakt supoort indirectly through the addon system, I am still researching a way of getting this done. Thank you for your support and really appreciate your confidence !
[Android Apps and Games] rodogg88:
No apology needed. Just keep up the good work
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
I am working on an account system so users can add accounts to services like Trakt and Real debrid and the addon csn use them if they are supported !
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello there,

The videoplayer will continue to buffer but only the amount necessary for continuous playback, the videoplayer can't load the whole video due to ram limits on your device or else the app will crash due to memory overflow but you can always use another addon that offers better videosources !

Can u fix the problem that makes subtitles stop showing in the last few minutes of movies and series?
[Android Apps and Games] ojcu:
Just started using it but so far seems good. Choice of different subtitles providers would be a good idea. I was watching something and neither Polish not English couldn't been found.

Edit: Also choosing different subtitles would be handy because the automatically downloaded ones are sometimes from completely different movies.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
We are attempting to fix it but the cause of the issue seems to be unknown could you please describe how we could reproduce it ?
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
New update released version 2.2.0 with a whole main menu redesing and lots of bug and crash fixes and layout optimizations on TVs.
[Android Apps and Games] cymBlood:
I've take a logcat, maybe with this can be easier to solve the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Ill check and see if I can find something but it is highly unlikely unless the app is crashing due to this issue, if not I will need to be able to reproduce it, does it happen all the time ?
[Android Apps and Games] cymBlood:
Okay, I'll explain it better, what happens is that the moment I'm watching an episode of Breaking Bad for example, S01E01, in that specific episode, with the auto-subtitles enabled, the app tells me that "could not find subtitles for those languages ", in this case, brazilian portuguese (which does not even have in the options of automatic subtitles, only portuguese of portugal), so I am forced to upload the subtitles manually, downloaded through the internet. However, the problem that occurs, is that when the episode approaches to the final minutes, the subtitles stop being displayed (you can try it yourself, go to the 39:00 minute and let it play, when it arrives at 40:53 min, the subtitles will stop being displayed), and this is the problem that happens when I'm watching both a serie and a movie, maybe if it were possible you should add the brazilian portuguese subtitles, thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] rodogg88:
Are you sure the subtitles you download aren't the issues? open one of the .srt or .sub files in a text editor and check the timecodes. i use the kokotime with english subtitles and it works fine with them.

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

my main man!!!! you fixed this app and "put your ankles in it". damn. i love it. i got the app updated on my firestick and it works beautifully, more than beautifully. the updates you made are super firestick friendly.

my suggestions for the next release:

Allow the option to load and choose from multiple subtitles, similar to choosing a video source.

-The reason is only one subtitle seems to be downloaded and while you can use the sync subtitle option, it takes a while to sync it up while just using another subtitle source would be quicker​

Integrate the trakt api into the app.

-The reason is so you can track your watchlist.​

Can you integrate YouTube videos with playlist support in kokotime?

-The reason is so you don't have to leave the app to view YouTube videos and you can have a playlist running in it. that would be great if it was possible​

I love the new homescreen and the auto play next function.

cant wait to see what new features you add later on. keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] cymBlood:
Yes, of course i checked it out, and already tryied downloading subtitles from differnet websites, but all of them keeps dissapeering in the last few minutes of an episode, however, I dont know if the fact that the app doesnt have an option to choose my native language ( pt-BR), can cause this bug...
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello there,

Very happy to know that you are enjoying the UI changes and the TV optimizations and hope that you won't encounter any issues, the update took more time than expected due to the whole redesign process etc but glad the result is appreciated.

About your suggestions, we are already attempting to tackle the subtitles issues and looking for the best way to optimize this and it will be implemented when ready. About the YouTube videos, as you know Kokotime doesn't natively offer media content by itself it offers what your installed add-ons have available. However we are currently in the process of adding more addon types to allow for developers or even media companies to implement their content into Kokotime add-ons here are the add-on types we are going to add to our SDK and App :

- Videos

- Images

- Articles

- Audio

When the system is added developers will be able to develop add-ons for these types of content.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
We will attempt to reproduce the issue and see what is the main cause of it and hopefully fix it, we will make sure to notify you when it os fixed on an update. Thank you for the feedback and data you provided to help solve the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] migside:
Hello is there any possibility get an add-on? within some German language films to see? Thanks a lot I have installed it and there was no German shows and films only English :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello,

Even though Kokotime has an add-on store and an addon platform to facilitate add-on acces to users we would like to note that we don't develop or upload any of the add-ons on there, any developer can create a dev account on our website and upload add-ons to the official store.
[Android Apps and Games] cymBlood:
OK, thank you. Still about this problem, I conclude that maybe the problem is caused by the fact that the app does not have the Portuguese from Brazil in the option of choosing automatic captions, since I have tried to load subtitles both in English and Portuguese of portugal, and both worked perfectly, did not stop being exhibited. So, I'll attach a zip file of the subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese so that you can even test it.

Kokotime app not working

The app is currently not working for me I just downloaded it today. I tried downloading the primeiwre & flixanity. The flixanity add-on does not even populate for shows or movie and the primewire add on for movies says no video source was add for the movies and for the shows it says the add on did not respond correctly, check your internet connection and make sure the add on is available in your country. It is also possible the service provider is down temporarily.
[Android Apps and Games] freak69ize:
Awesome app. How do i download and where are downloaded files stored? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] DallasBelt:
Tap on a show/movie and a menu will pop up with options to watch or download. You can access those files within the app only.

So the app is amazing on my fire tv and I love it. The main reason I got it was for the anime So I got the animefreak.tv addon BUT I can’t get it to dubbed. It’s only subbed. CAN ANYONE HELP? plz
[Android Apps and Games] DallasBelt:
I think you'll need a source with dubbed episodes, but right now there's no one available from the add-ons.

The app keeps crashing on my Mi5 sometimes it let me watch a movie. But most of the time its keeps crashing.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hey sorry about the late reply, is your device running android oreo by any chance ? Is it possible to get more info ? The bug has been reported but more information is needed to fix it. Thank you !
[Android Apps and Games] ColdUser:
I deleted the app already but i dont get any bug report i will try again to install and see what causes the problem.

And no im on nougat xiaomi.eu Rom.
[Android Apps and Games] ColdUser:
Update: i downloaded the APP again and it still crashes when i scroll movies.

But i hided the app from Magisk (just trying everything) turned off Xposed and restarted in recovery, deleted cache and dalvik rebooted.

The app is working now good and it doesnt crash.

I turned xposed on and still working only still hided in Magisk.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Thanks for the details, I will have someone take a look and see if they can reproduce the issue in an attempt to get it solved. Did you try the latest version ? Some fixes were made that could have solved the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Asswipe44:
Hello. I am unrooted, running stock 7.0. I was about to ask for assistance in using the app because it keeps crashing on me.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello,

There is no telling how the app will behave if you are using an app that interferes with connections it is always better to avoid it since it might cause the app to function improperly.
[Android Apps and Games] Asswipe44:
Thank you for your response. I actually tested it again just now and it crashes regardless of whether or not the other app is enabled. Are there any suggestions why Kokotime is still crashing at random intervals? I would be happy to submit a log if the application supports it.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
I will take a look om the issue, I can't seem to find the cause of this it has been reported multiple times. There is no in app system to send logs but I will continue debugging and release a fix as soon as possible !
[Android Apps and Games] ColdUser:
App still keeps crashing.

I'm a reseller and it's a request.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Hello,

We have actually been trying to work it out, trying to find the best way to integrate it into the app, not sure there is an exact date. We will send you a PM for further details.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
Could you try uninstalling all your addons restarting the app and check to see if the app crashes when no addons are installed ?
[Android Apps and Games] ColdUser:
I updated the App and no crashes before installing any addons.

After installing the addons and restarted the App and doesnt crash.

But i cant see any movies after installing the addons and also searching doesn't find anything.

On the previous version when you installed a addon and go back to movies, you see immediately the latest movies or the the ones that are provided by the addon.

Now i don't see any movies and also on tv-shows its the same. I tried all the addons.

I'm gonna reinstall the app but thats what i got so far.
[Android Apps and Games] Scrdev94:
This seemed to be a bug that caused addons to not actually install, only portions of te addons would get installed and thus you would not actually have any addons installed. We released an update about 5 min ago on xda that should solve this issue, give it a try but remove all the add-ons you installed first.
[Android Apps and Games] ColdUser:
I reinstalled the app and the movies are there now.

But the crash is back and the app stops working after 1-2 min.

Watching movies is working but after a couple min the app stops working immediately and phone goes back to homescreen.
