ResolveURL Kodi Add-on Status, Latest Version and Repository (2026)

The ResolveURL Kodi add-on is alive, actively maintained, and working on Kodi 20 and 21 as of 2026. It is a required dependency for dozens of popular Kodi add-ons — without it, those add-ons cannot resolve streaming links.

This guide covers how to install and update the ResolveURL Kodi add-on, and fix the most common errors, including Real-Debrid transfer issues and the “script.module.resolveurl not available” message.

Quick Status Snapshot

Current Repository Source

ResolveURL is maintained on GitHub by jsergio123. Before installing, verify the repository URL directly against the official GitHub page — third-party mirrors can be outdated or modified. The repository is added through Kodi’s File Manager, and the add-on is then installed from that source as a zip file.

Practical install and troubleshooting steps come first in this guide. Background on what ResolveURL is and how it works appears further down, once you have what you need to get it running.

How to Install the ResolveURL Kodi Add-on

The ResolveURL Kodi add-on is a dependency — meaning Kodi itself does not install it automatically, and most streaming add-ons will throw an error without it. The steps below cover the full installation path, from adding the source in Kodi’s file manager through to confirming the dependency is active. These steps were tested on Kodi 20 Nexus and Kodi 21 Omega.

Before you start: You need to enable Unknown Sources in Kodi to install from a third-party repository. Go to Settings → System → Add-ons and toggle Unknown Sources on. Kodi will show a warning — accept it to continue.

The repository URL you need is:

https://jsergio123.github.io/repo

Keep that URL handy — you will enter it in Step 2 below.

1. Open Kodi Settings. From the Kodi home screen, click the gear icon in the top-left corner to open the Settings menu.
2. Add the repository source. Go to File Manager → Add Source. Select the <None> field and type the URL exactly: https://jsergio123.github.io/repo/ — then give the source a name you will recognize, such as jsergio123, and click OK.
3. Return to the Kodi home screen and go to Add-ons → Install from zip file.
4. Select the source you just added (jsergio123) and install the repository zip file from that location.
5. Install from the repository. Once the zip installs, go to Install from repository → jsergio123’s Repository → Video add-ons and find script.module.resolveurl. Select it and click Install.
6. Wait for the confirmation notification. Kodi will display an “Add-on installed” notification in the bottom-right corner when the process completes successfully.

Confirm ResolveURL Installed Correctly

Once the notification appears, verify the installation by navigating to Add-ons → My Add-ons → Dependencies. Scroll through the list and look for script.module.resolveurl. If it appears there with a version number, the dependency is active and ready to use.

If script.module.resolveurl does not appear in the Dependencies list, the most likely cause is that the repository source URL was entered incorrectly. Go back to Settings → File Manager, remove the source, and re-add it — double-checking for any typos in the URL before saving.

Repository not showing up? If the jsergio123 repository does not appear in the Install from repository list after installing the zip, try restarting Kodi completely and checking again. In some cases Kodi needs a full restart to register a newly added repository.

How to Update ResolveURL and Check Kodi Compatibility

Keeping the ResolveURL Kodi add-on current is one of the quickest fixes for streams that suddenly stop resolving. Before troubleshooting anything else, confirm which version you actually have installed.

Check Your Installed ResolveURL Version

Open Kodi and go to Add-ons → My Add-ons → All, then scroll to script.module.resolveurl. Select it and choose Information. The version number appears on that screen. Compare it against the latest release listed on the official GitHub releases page — that page also carries the full changelog so you can see exactly what changed between versions.

Force an Update Through Kodi

If your version is behind, try the built-in update path first. Go to Add-ons → My Add-ons → All → script.module.resolveurl → Update. If no update appears, your repository source may be stale. In that case, a full reinstall from the repository is the cleaner fix — it pulls the latest zip directly and replaces any corrupted files the incremental update might miss.

Kodi 20 and Kodi 21 Compatibility

The ResolveURL Kodi add-on currently supports both Kodi 20 Nexus and Kodi 21 Omega. If you are on either version and seeing any of the symptoms below, a version mismatch or outdated install is the most likely cause:

• “script.module.resolveurl not available” — Kodi cannot locate the dependency, usually because the installed version is incompatible with your Kodi build or the files are corrupted.
• Streams fail across multiple add-ons simultaneously — When every add-on that relies on ResolveURL breaks at once, the dependency itself is the common thread, not the individual add-ons.
• No update prompt appears despite being on an old version — This points to a dead or misconfigured repository source rather than an up-to-date install.
• Real-Debrid links stop resolving — An outdated ResolveURL version may lack support for current Real-Debrid API responses.

Always verify the latest ResolveURL version and changelog directly on the jsergio123 GitHub releases page before reinstalling. Third-party mirrors are frequently out of date.

Fix “script.module.resolveurl not available”

If you’re seeing the error “script.module.resolveurl not available” in Kodi, the ResolveURL Kodi add-on dependency is either missing, broken, or pointing to a dead source. This is one of the most common ResolveURL errors, and it almost always has a straightforward fix once you know where to look.

The four most likely causes are a missing or corrupted dependency file, a repository source that no longer resolves, a failed update that left ResolveURL in a broken state, or leftover files from an old URLResolver installation conflicting with the current add-on. Identifying which one applies to you takes about two minutes.

Work through the following steps in order. Most users resolve the issue at step two or three.

1. Verify your repository source is still active. Go to Settings → File Manager and check that the ResolveURL repository URL is present and reachable. If the source returns an error or times out, the repo may have moved — check the official GitHub page for the current address before continuing.
2. Reinstall ResolveURL directly from the repository. Navigate to Add-ons → Install from repository → find your ResolveURL source → select script.module.resolveurl → choose Install. This replaces any corrupted or incomplete files with a clean copy.
3. Remove broken repository entries if the source is dead. If the repository URL no longer works, delete it from File Manager, add the current working source, then repeat step two. Installing from a dead repo will not fix the error — it will just fail silently.
4. Restart Kodi completely. A full close and reopen is required after reinstalling any dependency. Do not just back out of menus — exit Kodi entirely, then relaunch it.
5. Test by opening an add-on that uses ResolveURL. If the dependency loaded correctly, the “not available” error will be gone and streams should resolve normally.

To confirm the dependency is actually present after reinstalling, go to Add-ons → My Add-ons → Dependencies. Scroll until you find script.module.resolveurl listed there. If it appears with a version number, Kodi has registered it correctly. If it is absent, the install did not complete — go back and check your repository source.

One additional thing to check: if you previously used URLResolver before switching to the ResolveURL Kodi add-on, old URLResolver files may still be sitting in your Kodi userdata folder. These remnants can conflict with ResolveURL’s dependency resolution.

Go to Add-ons → My Add-ons and look for any URLResolver entry. If you find one, disable or uninstall it, then reinstall ResolveURL and restart Kodi again. Outdated add-ons that were built for URLResolver rather than ResolveURL can trigger the same error, so updating all your video add-ons after fixing the dependency is worth doing.

Fix ResolveURL Errors: Check Log and Common Causes

When the ResolveURL Kodi add-on stops working, the error message you see on screen rarely tells the whole story. The Kodi log is where the real information lives. To find it, navigate to Settings → System → Logging and enable debug logging, then reproduce the error.

The log file itself sits in your Kodi userdata folder — typically ~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log on Linux, %APPDATA%\Kodi\kodi.log on Windows, or the equivalent path on your platform. If you’d rather not dig through folders, install the Log Viewer for Kodi add-on, which lets you read and search the log directly inside Kodi. Search for “resolveurl” or “script.module.resolveurl” to filter relevant lines fast.

Once you have the log open, the error pattern you spot will point you toward a specific cause. The table below maps the most common ResolveURL error strings to their likely source.

When you hit an error, work through fixes in this order rather than jumping straight to a full reinstall:

1. Update ResolveURL first. Go to Add-ons → My Add-ons → find script.module.resolveurl → select Update. Most resolver failures trace back to a version mismatch, and updating resolves them without any further steps.
2. Verify repository access. If the update fails or the repo shows as unavailable, confirm the repository source URL is still active. Re-add it under Settings → File Manager if needed.
3. Restart Kodi. A clean restart clears cached resolver data and forces add-ons to reload dependencies properly.
4. Retest the affected add-on. Try the specific streaming add-on that was failing. If it works now, the issue is resolved.
5. Isolate whether the problem is add-on-specific. If the error only appears with one streaming add-on but others work fine, the fault likely sits with that add-on’s own resolver logic, not with the ResolveURL module itself.

That last point matters more than most guides acknowledge. If ResolveURL updates successfully and other add-ons resolve links without errors, the streaming add-on you’re testing is almost certainly the problem — either it’s outdated, its own scraper is broken, or it’s trying to pull from a source that no longer exists.

The ResolveURL Kodi add-on only handles the URL resolution step; it can’t fix a dead source or a poorly maintained add-on. For Real-Debrid-specific errors — including transfer failures and authorization issues that persist even after re-entering credentials — there’s a separate troubleshooting process worth walking through on its own.

Fix ResolveURL Real-Debrid Transfer Errors

The ResolveURL Kodi add-on connects to Real-Debrid through an authorization step you complete inside Kodi itself. To check or redo that authorization, go to Add-ons → My Add-ons → Video add-ons → ResolveURL → Configure, then find the Real-Debrid section and follow the on-screen pairing prompt. If your credentials are already there but streams are still failing, the token may be stale — reauthorizing from scratch is the fastest fix.

Most Real-Debrid-specific failures in ResolveURL fall into one of four categories:

• Expired authorization — Real-Debrid tokens time out. If you authorized months ago and never refreshed, ResolveURL is sending a credential that Real-Debrid no longer accepts.
• Transfer limit or server issues — Real-Debrid accounts have a daily transfer cap. If you have hit it, streams will fail at the resolver level even though ResolveURL itself is working correctly. Log into your Real-Debrid account dashboard to check your remaining allowance.
• Stale credentials — Changing your Real-Debrid password or regenerating your API key without updating ResolveURL causes an immediate authentication mismatch.
• VPN or IP conflicts — Real-Debrid flags accounts that authenticate from one IP address and then stream from a different one. If your VPN assigns a different server on reconnect, Real-Debrid may block the request entirely.

Work through these steps in order to isolate the problem quickly:

1. Reauthorize Real-Debrid in ResolveURL. Open the ResolveURL settings, clear the existing Real-Debrid token, and complete a fresh pairing. This resolves expired and stale credential issues in one step.
2. Test a different source. Try playing a stream from a different provider or link. If another source works, the problem is with that specific file on Real-Debrid’s servers, not with your authorization.
3. Check your Real-Debrid account status. Log into real-debrid.com and confirm your subscription is active, your transfer allowance has not been exhausted, and no account-level restrictions are showing.
4. Temporarily disable your VPN and retry. Disconnect your VPN, attempt the stream again, and see whether it plays. If it does, your VPN’s exit IP is conflicting with Real-Debrid’s IP verification. Switch to a VPN server you have not recently changed, or use a VPN with a static IP option.
5. Retry the stream. After completing the steps above, go back to the source and attempt playback again before assuming a deeper fault.

If you are still hitting errors after working through that sequence, the issue is likely at the Real-Debrid account level rather than inside ResolveURL. Check our dedicated Real-Debrid setup and troubleshooting guide for account-specific fixes, including how to reset your API key and verify your subscription tier.

ResolveURL Kodi Add-on vs. URLResolver and The Crew: What to Install

If you’ve spent any time searching for help with the ResolveURL Kodi add-on, you’ve probably run into references to something called URLResolver. Here’s the short version: URLResolver was the original URL-resolution dependency used by many Kodi add-ons, but it was taken down following legal pressure years ago. ResolveURL is the current, actively maintained replacement. That’s all the history you need. The rest of this guide focuses entirely on ResolveURL, which is what you should be installing today.

Whether you need to install ResolveURL manually depends on how you’re setting up Kodi. Many popular add-ons list ResolveURL as a required dependency and will prompt Kodi to install it automatically when you add them. If that happens, you don’t need to do anything extra. However, if you’re troubleshooting a script.module.resolveurl not available error, or if an add-on isn’t resolving streams correctly, installing ResolveURL directly from its repository is the right fix.

The Crew is one of the add-ons that relies on ResolveURL as a dependency. If you’re here specifically to get The Crew working, the table below clarifies what each component does — but for the current repository URL and full setup steps for The Crew itself, follow the dedicated guide on this site rather than trying to piece it together here.

One firm warning before you go looking for downloads: avoid any unofficial mirrors, random ZIP files, or third-party repositories claiming to host ResolveURL or URLResolver. The only safe source for the ResolveURL Kodi add-on is the official repository maintained by jsergio123. Installing from anywhere else risks outdated code, broken dependencies, or worse.

• No random ZIP downloads — ZIP files shared on forums or file-hosting sites are frequently outdated and won’t receive updates through Kodi’s add-on manager.
• No unofficial mirrors — Mirrors that copy the original repository may lag behind on updates or serve modified files.
• No unverified repositories — Only add repository sources you can verify against the official GitHub page for the ResolveURL Kodi add-on.

Use ResolveURL Safely With Real-Debrid and a VPN

Now that you have the ResolveURL Kodi add-on installed and working, there is one privacy consideration worth understanding before you stream. When you use ResolveURL with Real-Debrid or any third-party Kodi add-on, your internet provider can see that traffic. It cannot see what you are watching, but it can see that you are connecting to Real-Debrid servers and resolving streams through external sources. For most people, that is enough to trigger throttling or unwanted attention.

A VPN encrypts your connection so that activity stays private. This is not about bypassing anything — it is about keeping your streaming habits between you and your screen. If you are authenticating Real-Debrid through ResolveURL regularly, a VPN prevents your ISP from flagging or slowing that traffic.

We recommend NordVPN for Kodi users. It is fast enough not to affect stream quality, works reliably alongside Real-Debrid, and does not keep logs of your activity.

Final Tips for Using the ResolveURL Kodi Add-on

Getting the ResolveURL Kodi add-on working reliably comes down to a few consistent habits. Verify you’re pulling from the correct repository, confirm you have the latest version installed, and follow the install or update steps exactly as outlined in this guide. If streams stop working or you hit a dependency error, the troubleshooting sections above cover the most common fixes — including the script.module.resolveurl not available error and Real-Debrid transfer issues.

Before installing any ZIP file, always cross-check the source against the official GitHub repository maintained by jsergio123. Third-party mirrors go stale fast, and an outdated or modified ZIP can cause errors that are difficult to trace back to the source.

• Verify the repository — only install ResolveURL from a confirmed, active source before adding anything to Kodi.
• Check the version — if streams are failing, an outdated build is often the culprit. Update through Kodi’s add-on manager first.
• Use the error sections — the fix guides in this article cover the most common ResolveURL errors, so start there before reinstalling from scratch.
• Set up Real-Debrid correctly — if you’re using a debrid service, follow our Real-Debrid setup guide to avoid transfer errors.
