Troubleshootings on The Crew Not Working/Stopped Working

This is a fairly new bummer. If you The Crew addon stopped working recently, particularly that happened around April - May, I say there's a huge chance that your The Crew addon was blocked by Indigo addon from TV addons repository.

In that case, when you launch The Crew addon, The Crew doesn't show up its main menu after a while of loading, but direct you to the Videos menu with "Files", "Playlists" and "Video add-ons" options with an error message on the upper-right side of the interface saying: "The Crew error, check the log for more information".

To solve that, we have to uninstall Indigo and TV addons repository from your Kodi. But I don't know if you have known this yet, that uninstalling Indigo is quite a tricky job. I wrote a detailed post on this, it can certainly help >> How to Uninstall Indigo

First let's put aside the fact that some old or unpopular movies or TV shows do have no stream available at times, and these are the possible solutions to other scenarios.

- That could be an addon bug when scraping data from the internet. Try reinstalling The Crew and restart Kodi.

- Usually The Crew addon will pull a list of links from the internet and remove the duplicated ones. Try streams from other sources if you find one saying "No Stream Available".

- There could be conflicts between files or addons, usually the result of using multiple addons at a long length of time. By factory resetting Kodi, redundant files and cache will be cleared, and Kodi will be rejuvenated. But don't forget to back up your Kodi before that.
