Genesis 5 Released!

Popular Kodi add-on Genesis has received a huge update this morning to Kodi Genesis 5.0! The Genesis update brings in a whole rework of the add-on to please fans and add more reliability!

After going a full month without an update, here’s a big one for Kodi fans and users this morning.

Lambda has released his new Kodi Genesis 5 update and it brings a list of changes too big for 140 characters or less on Twitter!

TVADDONS administrator, s7eele, who helps lambda with advertising, media, and testing, let the info go on his Twitter account just now in this post.

The message reads:

GENESIS 5 IS NOW! It will be available in the next hour or two barring any problems, visit us http://forums.tvaddons.ag/register.php?referrerid=3871 …

The link posted above is to the TVADDONS forums, where lambda provides official support for the Genesis add-on. Make sure you go and register there.

Kodi Genesis 5.0.0 (28-Aug-15) Change Log

• Complete addon re-work
• Updated sources and resolvers
• Code cosmetics

Way too many changes to list individual, for details you will want to visit our forum but this represents a complete re-code off the add-on and a LOT of work on lambda’s part. It adds many new sections (Favourite Episodes, Network Listings, etc) & changes the behaviour of others (Latest Movies, Latest Episodes) so take some time to explore & get familiar with it. It also takes advantage of new section on Trakt so be sure to look those over too. Have fun, I know I will.

As the Kodi Genesis 5 update begins rolling out to users, let us know on our Facebook page what you think of it! We will be re-posting all of the best comments all day long!

NOTE: The downloads feature has been removed in Genesis 5. Lambda, the creator, has said that the feature is buggy and hard to work with and will only bring it back if efficiencies can be made.

If you do not have Genesis yet for Kodi, click here for zip file.

That’s it! Go and enjoy the new Kodi Genesis 5 update.

Note: UK internet service providers have blocked some of the website hosts used by Genesis. If you find that you are from the UK and aren’t seeing many choices for a particular show or movie, you can buy a VPN account to hide your internet traffic and make it look like you are from a different country. IPVanish is one of the best VPN clients because it is tier 1 (no speed slowdown) and log-free so that you are protected. The cost is about the same as a Starbucks coffee per month.
