I have had this installed and have been using Addons like Genesis, Sportsdevil, Pheonix, Channel1 etc. Recently I've started to notice that none of these addons seem to be streaming anything, (I choose a something and nothing happens like there is no source, I get the spinning circle and then nothing comes on) especially Genesis & Sportsdevil. Is this a common thing with these add ons? They work for a while and then stop functioning and you need to find a new addon to replace them? or do I need to do something to update them? When I start Kodi it seems to self update the addons itself. Has anyone else noticed or had issues with Genesis or Sportsdevil recently? I'm fairly new to using Kodi and everything worked great when I first installed these addons, but they are pretty much useless right now. Maybe I need to reinstall them or something or disable reenable. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

On a side note I do wish something like Kodi mini would exist which would focus on playing local media only and look like a native app. IMO the kodi interface is very unintuitive for playing local media.I really like the way Plex for Android Tv looks but I don't want
to maintain a media servera always on device just for a media server.
