Fix Thevideo.me Pair Authorisation On Kodi

Kodi is the most popular open-source media player available on almost all platforms such as Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS. Kodi has lots of features and add-ons.

There is a most popular add-on called Exodus. It helps you stream movies, TV shows etc from the best and high-end servers such as thevideo.me, vidup.me etc.

Whenever you click on any movie/TV show in Exodus, it will load and show the list of high-end servers such as thevideo.me. If you click on thevideo.me then it sometimes shows a prompt showing Stream authorization.

You can’t see movies or TV shows unless you fix that thevideo.me authorization issue. So, here we provided the solution to fix this very easily.

What is the need for Stream Authorization?

Every server has some limitations of a number of simultaneous users. This is true for movie streaming servers as well. If a server can handle 10k users then it won’t support more than 10k users at the same time. If more than 10k users access the server then it will crash. So, how to solve this issue.

First, if the server is open for all then there will be more than 10k users accessing without any restriction. It might result in a server crash. So, what if the server is not open to all? Only limited users can access the server.

Here comes the concept of stream authorization. You need to have permission to access the thevideo.me, vidup.me servers.

How To Fix thevideo.me pair stream authorization on Kodi

There are two methods to fix thevideo.me paid stream authorization issue. You can get rid of the issue after using these methods.

Method 1: Fix thevideo.me issue using website

2. Now when all the servers all loaded, you will find a server which is THE VIDEO similar to the below image.

3. Once you clicked on that server, it will show a pop-up that shows you Thevideo.me pair stream authorization. It shows the message saying “To play this video, authorization is required. Visit the link below to authorize the devices on your network: https://tvad.me/pair then click ‘Pair’“.

4. You need to visit vidpair.me to fix this issue. Once you visit that site, you will see a Pair Your Device Screen showing your IP address.

Is this safe to use?

No, thevideo.me authorization will save your IP address and grant permissions to stream movies and TV shows. This is not safe as your IP address is exposed and saved on their server. So, if you want to use the first method then you need to use a VPN. You must use a VPN to get rid of any privacy issues as your IP address will be masked by temporary IP address which is safe.
