The Complete Guide to Venom on Kodi [Retired]

Venom is a popular Kodi add-on that allows you to stream movies and TV shows using premium sources. This add-on has many features like Trakt.tv support, library integration, Youtube section, Debrid cloud manager, and more.

IMPORTANT: Venom and its repository are no longer available. Check out Umbrella, a new add-on based on Venom. Visit our favorite add-ons for more alternatives to Venom.

You’ll need a premium account from Real Debrid, All Debrid, or Premiumize for Venom to work properly. This add-on uses FenomScrapers, an external scraper package also used by other add-ons like Fen.

Venom addon is compatible with Kodi 19 Matrix and Kodi 18 Leia.

In this guide, we’re going to install and set up Venom on Kodi. Let’s get started!

We have installed Venom on Kodi, but we still need to authorize a Debrid account so that the add-on can find sources and stream content.

2.4. Authorizing Venom with Real Debrid

Using premium accounts gives you unrestricted access to several file hosters and cached-torrents. It greatly improves the speed, quantity, and quality of available sources.

In this tutorial we’ll use Real Debrid, a popular service to get access to various file hosters and cached torrents for a very low price.

It is important that you open My Accounts through Venom so that the settings are automatically synced. If you open My accounts from the main screen, you will have to sync Venom and My accounts manually.

16. Open Venom and select Tools.Tools category on Venom add-on

17. Press My Accounts Settings.authorize Debrid account on Venom using My Accounts module

22. Go back to Kodi. You should now see your username in the Real Debrid section. Press OK to continue. Real Debrid authorized on Venom

We have authorized My Accounts with Real Debrid, Venom should automatically take the new settings but sometimes it fails. Let’s make sure Real Debrid is enabled on Venom.

23. Press SETTINGS: Accounts. Open the accounts settings menu

24. On the Accounts tab, scroll down to the Real-Debrid section and make sure Enable is activated, then press Ok to save the settings. Enable Real Debrid on Venom

All done! Now you’re ready to stream content on Kodi with Venom. Use Venom’s main menu to search for movies or TV shows.

25. You will see a selectable list of available sources before playing a movie or episode.selecting a flie to play with Venom

To continuously play episodes, open the context menu on the episode you want to watch and select Play from here.

When using cached torrents, your device won’t connect to the p2p network directly, instead, Real Debrid will fetch the files on their servers and it’ll let you get them as a normal download.

Venom supports automatic subtitles but if you need more control over the subtitles selection process please read How to enable automatic subtitles on Kodi.

3. Additional Settings

Let’s take a look at how to set up some popular Venom features. These steps are optional but can improve your user experience.

3.1. Venom and Trakt

Trakt.tv is a free service that helps you organize and keep track of your favorite movies and shows. Using a Trakt account is very helpful if you want to sync your watched status across devices.

Venom can integrate with your Trakt account giving you access to your Collection, lists, and bookmarks.

It is also capable of scrobbling, so using the official Trakt add-on is optional. Scrobbling means automatically checking in your watched episodes and movies on the cloud.

To use Trakt with Venom, visit the Trakt.tv website, log in with your account, and follow these steps.

I. Select Tools on Venom’s main menu.Tools category on Venom add-on

II. Press My Accounts Settings.authorize Debrid account on Venom using My Accounts module

III. Make sure the Trakt tab is selected and press Authorization…authorizing Venom with Trakt

IV. Copy the authorization code. copy the trakt authorization code for venom

V. Using a web browser, visit https://trakt.tv/activate and enter the authorization code. You must be logged into your Trakt account. activate kodi addon on trakt.tv

VI. Press Yes to link your Trakt account to Venom. allow My Accounts to use your Trakt account

You can now access your Trakt collection and lists with Venom using the My Movies and My TV Shows categories on the addon’s main menu.

If you are not using the official Trakt add-on, you should Enable scrobbling on Venom. Go to the add-on’s main menu, select Tools, and press Settings: General.

VII. Highlight the Trakt tab, scroll down and activate Enable Scrobbling. Set the Resume Point source to Trakt scrobbles to keep your devices synchronized. enabling Trakt scrobbing on Venom

If you are using Kodi on a single device, you can keep the Resume Point source on Local to avoid unnecessary calls to the Trakt API that can slow down navigation.

5. Venom Kodi add-on FAQ

Do I need a Debrid account to use Venom?

Yes. Venom requires a premium account from Real Debrid, Premiumize, or All Debrid.

Do I need a VPN to use Venom?

No. When using a Debrid account your traffic is already encrypted using HTTPS.

I get a “No streams available” message on Venom, what should I do?

First, make sure your Debrid account is authorized and hasn’t expired. Then, try clearing Venom’s cache. Follow these steps:
  1. Select Tools on Venom’s main menu.
  2. Select Cache Options.
  3. Press Clear all caches.
  4. Confirm by pressing Yes.
  5. Restart Kodi.

Is it safe to use cached torrents?

Yes. Cached torrents files are downloaded by your Debrid service provider using their servers. These files are then stored on their servers so you can access them as a normal download using HTTPS which is an encrypted protocol. Since you’re using the Debrid’s server as a proxy, your IP address is not exposed to the P2P network.

    After following the steps, Venom 5.x.x gets installed, but your screenshot shows 6.1.8

    Then I keep getting “No Streams Available”. I tried all the solutions I could find online for that problem and could not fix it.

    Any ideas? I mainly want to try a newer version of Venom to see if that helps.

      Hi. After authorizing Real Debrid on My Accounts, you need to synchronize Venom with My Accounts so it can recognize the new settings.
      Open Venom > go to Tools > select Settings: Accounts > and press sync(re) with My Accounts.
      If you open My Accounts via Venom (using Tools > My Accounts Settings), the synchronization will occur automatically.

      Hi, You might’ve authorized the RD account only in My Account Settings. After authorizing RD account in My account settings in Venom tools menu, scroll down to SETTINGS: Account, then go to Real-Debrid and Enable it. This solved my problem with this authentication error. Hope this helps.

    I’ve just followed all to install, I’ve deleted all caches, I’ve just registered a Debrid account, but I’m getting always the message “permission-denied” and “unknown_resource”

    • 3 years ago

      Hi, I reinstalled Venom on Windows and Android a couple of times, but I couldn’t reproduce the error.

      I also checked the source code to see if I could get some insights on the problem but those error messages are not hardcoded on Venom nor MyAccounts so they are probably coming directly from the Debrid service.

      It seems like maybe an error occurred when authorizing your account. Could you please try to re-authorize your account and report back?

      Reply
      • 3 years ago

        Thanx for fast answering. Well I’ve just seen that I should buy the real debrid service to use it, I was supposed to use it for free. Actually I’m not interested in buying this service.

        Reply

    Same. I tried everything for this “permission-denied” and “unknown_resource” and it’s not working. My account is still on and nothing seems to work. Surely you must have done something that you forgot to annotate.

    Also, I would like to input that you commented, “When using cached torrents, your device won’t connect to the p2p network directly,” yet everything that I see for any movie or show literally has nothing but Cached Torrents.

    Help? Explain?

    Reply
    • 3 years ago

      Debrid services let you download torrents using their servers, those files are then stored on the server so users can download them without connecting to the torrent network. This is why they are called “cached” torrents, the Debrid server acts as a file cache. Most add-ons give preference to cached torrents as those files tend to be more reliable and have better quality than files from hosters.

      The reason you’re only getting cached torrents is that Hosters are disabled by default on FenomScrapers, if you want to enable them, open FenomScrapers, select the Premium Hosters tab, and click on Enable All Hoster Providers. Be aware that this will increase your search time when finding sources.

    All of this worked, but when I choose a movie, I just keep getting, “Permission_Denied, Unknown_Ressource”

      Please verify that your Debrid account has not expired and try to reauthorize it using My Accounts. Also, try clearing the cache following the steps in the FAQ. When restarting Kodi, use the Power button in the upper left corner of the Home Screen and select Exit, if you just kill the process, some settings may not be saved.

      Same here, have you been able to figure how to make it work?
