Seren is one of the best movies & TV shows addon on Kodi in 2021. Seren features continuous episodes playback, Netflix-like next-up dialog, preemptive scrapping of sources, and is tightly interwoven with Trakt.tv. With Seren’s detailed categories and precise search function, users can easily access the exact link they want within a minute.
Moreover, unlike other Kodi addons which are generally built for a single service use, Seren seems a cut above. Seren is a multi-source addon works with the added ability to install custom provider modules, allowing users to connect to multiple online/offline services at once for their viewing with a single click.
Please note that Seren addon requires the integration of a premium debrid account and the installation of provider package to play items. You can scroll down to the second tutorial to learn more.
