Your Smart TV may not be compatible with the Movistar Plus+ Lite application but you have an account with the operator’s service to be able to access the series and movies you have contracted. In this case, a good option is to use the application of kodi on our television to access Movistar and be able to view the catalog from any device regardless of whether or not you can install the original Movistar app. And we explain how to do it.
You must bear in mind that you will not see the contents through Kodi if you do not have an account, but rather that it is a legal method in which you will access the multimedia center to see Movistar Plus+ and thus skip compatibility problems or simply be able to access without having to have different apps installed.
What to watch out for: add-ons
The first thing we have to know before we can see Movistar Plus+ on Kodi is what the add-ons are. If you have Kodi, you will know that the multimedia center has different applications or extensions that provide extra functions to those that come by default. We can use them to order content, to access some streaming platforms or to manage all our applications.
There are countless add-ons with many different functions and we can take a look at the Kodi repository to find some of the most useful ones. But, in this case, we will focus on the add-on you need if you want to use your Movistar Plus+ account from Kodi to watch any series or movie online.
How to install the Movistar Plus+ application on Kodi
Although it may seem a bit confusing, it is quite easy to install this app on Kodi. You just have to follow the next steps and you will have it done in seconds. You must bear in mind that some steps may change depending on the version of the program you have installed, but it will be practically identical in one or the other and the steps will always be the same, even if the menu changes slightly between them.
The first thing to do is open Kodi and go to the add-ons section. When you select this section, a menu will appear with different options from which you can choose the add-on you want: my add-ons, recently updated-install from repository, install from a zip file or search. You must choose the penultimate one: “install from a ZIP file”.
Once we have done that, we have to download and install two files in the following order. First of all “script.module.ttml2ssa-xxxzip” and then “plugin.video.movistarplus-xxxzip»
Now that they are installed, you will have your Movistar Plus+ application ready to use. You will see that, when you enter for the first time, three options will appear:
- Log in with name and password
- Login with key file
- Sign off
Choose the first option “Login with name and password”. Enter your credentials and you will access all the content you have contracted with Movistar Plus+.
It is important to keep in mind that you will only be able to watch the channels included in your contracted TV package. In addition, if you are a customer of the operator and normally use the deco instead of watching the channels over the Internet, you must take into account that you have to activate the devices to receive, in your email or through SMS, the username and password that will be given to you access to the application and with which you can access the content.
Advantages of Movistar Plus+ on Kodi
Once we have downloaded it, you may be wondering, what advantages does it have or what can we do with the Movistar add-on on Kodi? There are a series of improvements or interesting functions that will allow you to get the most out of it… For example, we can use improved subtitles, download extra information from the channels, such as information on the programs or thumbnails of what you are going to see.
Another advantage is that we will have the option of showing the programs being broadcast to have a better visualization of the programs that are being broadcast live.
It is important to know that some of these improved options do not work correctly with Kodi version 18 and 19, but if you have Kodi updated to its latest version, 20, you will be able to enjoy these features without any problem.
