Preventing Kodi Downloads

#1 Postby speakerbox » Apr 14, 2017 5:01 pm

Hello,

Increasingly Kodi has slowly become more and more of a problem. More people are using it which means lower revenue and higher bandwidth costs.

Some hosts have implemented a pairing feature so that Kodi downloads are blocked until they are "validated" by visiting the appropriate URL.

Examples:
https://thevideo.me/pair
https://openload.co/pair

I'm wondering if anyone has tried to set something like this up and what exactly it entails? It's hard to sustain with the ever increasing use of Kodi.

Thank you!

its not slowly, it accounts for almost 50% of traffic for some file hosts currently
you can keep changing your html code to make their scraper ineffetive, as they will keep updating their code to adapt to your changes

you need to contact kodi addon developers to get /pair code done, but seems they are least bothered or need to be bribed heavliy to make those changes

if you do get it done, do let us know :mrgreen:
