How to fix Kodi not streaming error?

1. Check Your internet connection

It is one of the primary steps for fixing any streaming related issues. To fix any Kodi related errors, we have to make sure that the device running Kodi is connected to the Internet properly. Also, do check the speed of your internet connection for streaming the high-quality videos. 

2. Access Geo-restricted videos

In most cases, your ISP will block the streaming sources in order to prevent the piracy problem. If the streaming sources are blocked by your ISP itself, then the Kodi won’t be able to access the pirate content. So it won’t stream the videos.

3. Clear your cache

Due to an overload of cache memory, this error may occur. To solve this error simply by clear your Kodi cache. If you are using Kodi on your PC, then you must additionally clear the system cache. In order to clear cache, you must have a program addon. You can use any of the maintenance tools. Some addons even have got built-in features to clear the cache. You will find this option under the settings menu of the kodi addons. There are various maintenance addons are available on Kodi like Indigo, Supreme wizard, looking glass wizard, Ares Wizard, etc.

4. Give time to load

It is one of the most common mistakes which we noticed among the Kodi users. Most of them don’t have patience and close the addon before it starts playing the video. When you select a live TV  or movie in a Kodi addon, make sure to give at least 5 to 10 seconds for it to load their contents. As these are bulk video files, it won’t load instantly. Wait for few seconds to start the streaming. If your streaming is about to start, you can find the Play button at the top right of the Kodi screen. So, you have to wait for loading the contents.
