Welcome to the umbrellaplug.github.io wiki!
Please let me know if you have any questions or issues. Currently for Kodi 19 and working for Nexus Alphas (with lots of warnings).
Clone Fork of Venom
From Kodi: System > File Manager > Select Add Source
For "Enter the paths or browse for the media locations" select "None" and input:
https://umbrellaplug.github.io
Then Select Done. For "Enter a name for this media source" input "Umbrella" or whatever you would like to name the source. Click Ok.
From the Kodi Homescreen select "Add-ons". At the top on the left hand side select the box icon under "Add-ons" (Add-on Browser).
Install the Umbrella repository by clicking on Install from Zip File then "Umbrella" then repository.umbrella-x-x-x.zip and waiting for the repository installed icon to appear in the top right corner.
Select "Install From Repository" then Umbrella Repo then Video Add-ons then Umbrella. Click on Install and wait for the Add-on Enabled Notification.

Feel free to open issues, they are being looked at. If opening an issue please verify there is not already an open issue for the same thing. Please post a log with your issue. The more information the better. Please do not respond "well this plugin/addon does this". That is insulting. I will immediately close your issue. You can use you that plugin.
If you are reporting an issue, logs are going to be requested. Save yourself and me some time.
Enable Logs: Go to Umbrella settings and select Debugging on the left hand side.
Set your settings like this:
Set your debug settings, reproduce the issue, then go to Tools > Logging Tools > Umbrella - Upload log file to pastebin Attach the URL to the issue you open. If your logs are requested and you do not post them your issue will be closed without being looked at. I'm unable to resolve issues without knowing the problem and I need the logs to identify the issue.
Testing is done using a second repo. Test versions are unstable and move quickly. If you would like to test, let me know. Please do not download test versions of the plugin without knowing what is included. Some test builds could include extensive logging that is hard on your system. I would not advise anyone to download a test version without talking to me first.
Q: Why do you use the same scraper package as other addons?
A: Scrapers are a project on their own. I do not wish to develop scrapers. I have partnered with another developer to use scrapers provided by an outside source.
Q: Why should I use this instead of Venom?
A: Venom has been retired. Respect the developer and let it go. 123Venom was an amazing developer, I chose this addon to clone because I used it and it worked well. If you don't want to use this plugin, don't. Please don't waste my time or yours with comparisons to Venom, I won't waste my time justifying why you should use an addon I maintain for free.
Q: Do you take feature requests?
A: Of course, open an issue. Use the feature request template.
Q: How do I contact you?
A: If you are reading this on GitHub you have found the best way to contact me already. Please open issues or feature requests here. Chat requests, direct messages, discord, reddit posts are not a great way to contact me and I do not always see these things. I will always see a GitHub issue.
