Attention: Protect Your Privacy Online
Please remember that streaming certain video content may be illegal in your country. Protecting your privacy online is becoming more and more important. We suggest you to use a VPN. A VPN encrypts your traffic and stops your provider and other authorities from seeing what you do on the internet.
With a VPN you are also able to change your public IP address to gain access to services which may not be available in your location.
We recommend CyberGhost, a VPN service with the highest security standards, fast download speeds for streaming, 9200 servers located in over 100 countries and the most value for your money. CyberGhost allows you to use up to 7 devices and offers dedicated apps for Amazon Fire TV, Android, Windows, iOS and more platforms.

How to Change Preferred Subtitle Language in Kodi
In the Kodi language settings you can change your preferred subtitle language. You may want to change this option to make subtitles providers scraping the right language right at the beginning. This will affect not only the a4kSubtitles Kodi Addon but all subtitle services you are using.
Follow these steps to change the preferred subtitle language in Kodi:
- On the Kodi home screen click on the little gear icon at the top left to open up the settings
- Select “Player”
- On the left side navigate to “Language”
- In the middle of the screen right under the “Subtitles” category click on “Preferred subtitle language”
- The default value is “Original language” which means the subtitle Kodi addon will scrape subtitles in the same language the video has
- Select and click on the the language you like
Here are some screenshots for better understanding of how to change the subtitle language:
Thank you sooooo much. So far so good.
I keep getting the “IMDB ID Not Provided” Does anyone have a workaround for this error?
i get same message. did you ever find a work around. i see no one answered.
The reason may be an addon which does not provide IMDb IDs for the video content you select. As far as we know OpenSubtitles is using IMDb IDs but we are not 100% sure if disabling it in the a4kSubtitles settings fixes the issue for you. But again: Usually the most common video addons do provide IMDb IDs.
On all video’s a4k in not working “NO IMDb id provided
Not working!
