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 Pro 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 <None> 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.

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.
