🧰 Troubleshooting / Error Remediation

❌ “No Sources Found” or “No Stream Available”

Cause: Umbrella only searches your cloud from providers you’ve entered. External providers (CocoScrapers) may not be properly installed or enabled.

Solutions:

• Ensure CocoScrapers is installed and enabled in Umbrella Settings → Providers
• Verify your Debrid service is authorized and has active subscription
• Check that External Providers is enabled in Settings
• Try clearing providers: Tools → Clear providers / Clear cache
• Re-authorize your Debrid service

❌ Umbrella Not Installing or “Failed to Install”

Cause: Corrupt installation, insufficient storage, or Kodi version incompatibility.

Solutions:

• Verify you’re using Kodi 19, 20, or 21
• Check available storage space on your device
• Delete the repository zip file and re-download
• Restart Kodi and try again
• If persistent, uninstall Umbrella and reinstall from scratch

❌ Buffering or Streams Not Playing

Cause: Network issues, ISP throttling, or choosing files too large for your connection.

Solutions:

• Use a VPN – Prevents ISP throttling
• Choose smaller file sizes (lower bitrate 1080p instead of 4K)
• Check your internet speed (5+ Mbps recommended for HD)
• Restart your router and streaming device
• Try a different stream source if available

❌ Trakt Not Syncing or Content Missing

Cause: Trakt authorization expired or needs refresh.

Solutions:

• Go to Tools → Settings → Trakt and re-authorize
• Check if Trakt is experiencing service issues
• In Umbrella, go to Tools → Clear cache and restart
• Try importing your Trakt lists again

❌ CocoScrapers Shows as “script.module.cocoscrapers” Instead of “CocoScrapers Module”

Cause: Display name variation in some Kodi builds – this is normal and not an error.

Solution: No action needed. The module is still working correctly.

❌ Umbrella Blank or Not Loading Content

Cause: Cache corruption or Trakt integration issues.

Solutions:

• Clear ALL cache in Umbrella Tools
• Clear Kodi system cache: Settings → Applications → Kodi → Clear Cache
• Re-authorize Trakt and Debrid services
• Uninstall and reinstall Umbrella as last resort

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is Umbrella free to use?

The addon itself is free, but it requires a paid Debrid service (Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, Premiumize, or TorBox) to function. These services typically cost $3-5 per month.

Why won’t Umbrella work without a Debrid service?

Umbrella is designed as a “Debrid-only” addon. It specifically searches for cached torrents stored on Debrid cloud servers, which provide the fastest, most reliable streams. It does not search for free public links.

Is Umbrella safe to use?

Umbrella itself has been scanned with VirusTotal and no malicious files were found. However, as a third-party addon that fetches public torrent streams, your ISP can see your activity and may throttle your connection. A VPN is strongly recommended.

Is Umbrella legal?

The addon itself is a tool. The legality depends on what content you access and your local copyright laws. Only access content you have rights to or that is in the public domain.

How do I update Umbrella to the latest version?

1. Go to Add-ons → open box icon → Install from zip file
2. Select your Umbrella source → click repository.umbrella-2.2.6.zip
3. The repository updates, and Umbrella will automatically update to the latest version.

What Debrid services work with Umbrella?

Currently supported: Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, Premiumize, TorBox, and OffCloud. Real-Debrid is the most popular choice.

What other providers does Umbrella support?

In addition to Debrid services, Umbrella supports Easynews (Usenet), Plex, and Google Drive.

Can I use Umbrella without CocoScrapers?

No. Umbrella relies entirely on the CocoScrapers module to fetch streaming links. The addon will not work without it.

What’s the Umbrestuary skin?

Umbrestuary is a custom Kodi skin available in the Umbrella Repository that gives Kodi a modern, streamlined interface designed specifically for Umbrella. It also works with other Kodi addons.
