Many people use Kodi now, but one thing that frustrates the users and leads many out of them to abandon the platform is the Kodi errors.

While video playback, the most common issues are buffering, freezing, crashing, blank screen, black screen, stuttering video, etc. There may be many reasons for these as buffering issues, hardware related issues, add-on specific errors, and so on. Sometimes the Kodi media player itself may crash own as soon as the user loads it. Let us explore such issues further and fixes, as suggested by bestdroidplayer.

Cache malfunctioning

One significant sign of Kodi cache malfunction is choppy video. Whenever a user runs a choppy video, they can first expect that their cache has reached the fullest potential. In normal circumstances, the cache itself can empty on its own. However, if the self-emptying of the cache does not happen, the user may have to download the Ares Wizard add-on. Just click on the Maintenance button on this wizard where you can see the button for Delete Cache.

Unable to connect to a source

Kodi users install the Kodi repositories by providing a path to the source. Sometimes, even when the users add the source, Kodi may show a pop-up error as unable to connect to the source. This is primarily because users may have accidentally used a wrong source address. So, first, check the source address for the letter case and also if there are any misspellings. If it is done correctly, then check if the repository had gone offline. It is also possible that the repository may have been moved to a new address, which you need to find.

Setting up a VPN

As your DNS or domain name server can disclose personal information about you, you may change it first. You can open DNS to accomplish this. Conduct a DNS leak test for this. Next, search for a good free VPN. Apart from what we listed above, there are various other VPNs, too, of which some offer good speed, some with unlimited data, military-grade encryption, and so on.

After installing the VPN and configuring it, you may close the browser and internet connection. Then you may re-establish the connection through the VPN, which will make you secured and private. First, do test the VPN to see if there is a DNS leak and if it masks your original ID. Once the test is cleared, start using your VPN and enjoy anonymous and secured internet access.
