Some users were unhappy with the Genesis 5 update released late last week. The add=on was written from the ground up and made to be more efficient, but some users have found missing TV shows, favorites, and libraries. In addition, some of the new sources did not seem to be as reliable as first expected.
Now, Genesis 5.0.1 has been released to try and fix some of those issues!
Genesis 5.0.1 Change Log
- Fixed issue with Trakt progress.
- Added Croatian, Greek, and Portuguese translations.
- Updated available sources.
- Updated available resolvers.
- Code cosmetics.
On our Twitter page, we got many questions asking for the Croatian and Greek translations to return, so I think this will be a popular return! Check out the new Genesis 5 update today.
Those of you with Genesis questions, here is a Genesis 5 FAQ to help you get going! They cover questions that have been asked over and over like: Where did the download function go? What new features are there? Why don’t my submenus/widgets work? Will my Genesis auto-update? http://koditips.com/kodi-genesis-5-faq/
As the Kodi Genesis 5 update begins rolling out to users, let us know on our Facebook and Twitter page what you think of it! We will be re-posting all of the best comments all day long!
NOTE: The downloads feature has been removed in Genesis 5. Lambda, the creator, has said that the feature is buggy and hard to work with and will only bring it back if efficiencies can be made.
If you do not have Genesis yet for Kodi, here is an installation guide:
- Open Kodi and navigate to SYSTEM > File Manager > Add Source > None
- Type the following EXACTLY http://kodi.metalkettle.co and select Done
- Highlight the box underneath and enter a name for this media Source like “MK”. and then click OK
- Go back to your Home Screen and then to SYSTEM > Add-Ons > Install from Zip File > “MK”
- Select Recommended Repositories > repository.lambda-1.1.0.zip and wait for the Add-on enabled notification
- Select Get Add-Ons or Install from Repository (on Isengard) > lambda Add-on repository > Video Add-ons >Genesis > Install
- Wait for Add-on enabled notification
That’s it! Go and enjoy the new Kodi Genesis 5 update.
Note: UK internet service providers have blocked some of the website hosts used by Genesis. If you find that you are from the UK and aren’t seeing many choices for a particular show or movie, you can buy a VPN account to hide your internet traffic and make it look like you are from a different country. IPVanish is one of the best VPN clients because it is tier 1 (no speed slowdown) and log-free so that you are protected. The cost is about the same as a Starbucks coffee per month.
