# Integrate Seedr with Kodi (WebDAV, FTP, add-on) Canonical URL: https://www.seedr.cc/pulse/articles/6748511f2f1468b50cf5161d-integrate-seedr-into-kodi/ Updated: 2026-10-09T13:54:30.698Z Three ways to play your Seedr cloud library in Kodi: WebDAV mount, FTP mount, or the Seedr add-on. Setup paths, credentials and fixes. Kodi is the open-source media center that runs on just about anything — Windows, Linux, macOS, Fire TV, Android TV, a Raspberry Pi. If your movies live in Seedr, you have three ways to bring them into Kodi: mount via WebDAV, mount via FTP, or install the official Seedr add-on when you want deeper integration. This guide covers all three and the realistic trade-offs. ## What this gets you - Your Seedr library visible as a source inside Kodi, right next to anything else you watch. - Direct playback in Kodi's native player, with its subtitles, audio tracks and posters. - No syncing: files stay in Seedr. Kodi reads them on demand. - Full remote-control browsing on a TV — no jumping to a web browser. What it does not do: it does not copy files to your device. Playback depends on your internet connection and your Seedr plan's bandwidth. ## What you need - A Seedr account. FTP is on Basic and above; WebDAV is on Master and above. The add-on works with free, but free tops out at 360p inside Kodi. - Kodi 19 (Matrix) or newer. Earlier versions are missing some network-filesystem fixes. - Your Seedr email and password (Facebook-only accounts: add an email first via Seedr support). - For the add-on, the latest ZIP from the Seedr site. ## Setup, step by step Pick one of the three paths. WebDAV is the most robust for most setups. ### Option A — WebDAV mount (recommended) 1. Open Kodi and go to **Settings → File manager → Add source**. 2. Click **\** to open the path field, then **Add network location**. 3. Fill in: - **Protocol**: WebDAV Secure (HTTPS) - **Server address**: dav.seedr.cc - **Remote path**: leave blank - **Port**: 443 - **Username / Password**: your Seedr credentials 4. Save. Kodi returns to the source dialog. Name the source **Seedr**. 5. Still in Settings, go to **Media → Library → Videos… → Add videos** and point a new library at the Seedr source. Pick the right content type (Movies / TV Shows). ![]() Kodi scrapes and builds your library. First scan takes a few minutes per hundred items. ### Option B — FTP mount 1. **Settings → File manager → Add source → Add network location**. 2. Fill in: - **Protocol**: FTP - **Server**: ftp.seedr.cc - **Port**: 21 - **Username / Password**: your Seedr credentials 3. Save, name the source, add it as a video library source the same way. ![]() FTP is lighter-weight than WebDAV but less friendly to large libraries and pickier about seeking in long videos. ### Option C — Seedr add-on 1. Download the Seedr Kodi add-on ZIP from your Seedr account. 2. In Kodi: Settings → Add-ons → [Install from zip file](). 3. Browse to the ZIP, confirm. Kodi installs and enables it. 4. Go to **Videos → Add-ons → seedr.cc**. A device code appears. 5. On any browser, visit seedr.cc/devices, enter the code under **Add Media Device**, click **Add+**. 6. Back in Kodi, press **OK**. Your Seedr folders are now browsable inside the add-on. Try Seedr free ## Try Seedr free ## Troubleshooting - **"Unable to connect to network server" on WebDAV.** Kodi usually wants port 443 explicitly and the protocol set to WebDAV Secure, not plain WebDAV. Re-check both. - **Authentication loop / 401.** Your password has a special character Kodi mishandles (rare but happens with @ or %). Change the Seedr password to alphanumeric for this test and retry. - **"Couldn't connect to remote server" on FTP.** FTP passive mode occasionally stalls behind strict home routers. In Kodi, set **Settings → System → Internet access → Use HTTP proxy → off**, reboot the router if necessary. - **Add-on shows "invalid device code".** Codes expire in 15 minutes. Generate a new one and paste quickly. - **Playback stutters at high bitrate.** Kodi on a low-power device (older Fire TV, Pi 3) will bottleneck on H.265 4K regardless of the source. Transcode to H.264 or use a more capable box. Also check that you are not near your plan's daily bandwidth cap. - **Library scan never finishes.** Too many files in a single folder. Split into subfolders (Movies/, Shows/, Archive/) in your Seedr account and rescan. ## What works well and what does not Works well: - 1080p playback over WebDAV on a decent box (Fire TV 4K, Nvidia Shield, x86 Kodi, Pi 4 or 5). - Full Kodi scraping: posters, fanart, subtitle search, audio track selection. - Same mount used by Kodi is also available to Plex, Jellyfin, Infuse and Finder/Explorer. Known limits: - **Free plan in the add-on = 360p.** For 1080p and 4K you need a premium plan. - **No hardware transcoding on Seedr's side.** If your Kodi device cannot decode the codec, it will not play. - **Seek on very large MKV files** can be sluggish over FTP. WebDAV handles this better. - **The "Seedr V2 Kodi add-on" with deeper V2 features** is on the roadmap. Today's add-on is the V1-era client, still maintained and working. ## Wrap WebDAV is the path most people end on: the most compatible, the least fiddly, and it covers every Kodi-hosting device worth using. ![]() ![]() ![]() See plans ## Unlock WebDAV, FTP and HD playback
