Are you seeing a “Web Request Failed” Kodi error and aren’t sure what to do? Read on below for information on how to fix your issues!
Are you trying to access live streams in Kodi but are seeing a “Web Request Failed” Kodi error message? If you are running Kodi 17, there is an easy fix to this: enable RTMP in Kodi.
RTMP is a protocol that works in the backend of Kodi to translate web video content into a format that Kodi can read and playback. By default, Kodi 17 disables RTMP by default, so you’ll get this “Web Request Failed” Kodi error when you try to watch live streams from addons such as Sportie, SportsDevil, and others.
To fix this error, simply enable RTMP using our guide below. For more information on RTMP, refer to our guide here.
How to Enable RTMP in Kodi (“Web Request Failed” Kodi Error Fix)
- From the Kodi main menu, click on Addons. If you are using a skin or build, this is probably found by going to Settings > Add-ons.
- Click on My Add-ons and then go into the VideoPlayer InputStream section.
- Click on the RTMP Input option and click on Enable.
- As well if it isn’t already, click on InputStream Adaptive and click Enable.
- That’s it! Try to enable RTMP in Kodi and see if this fixes your Kodi streaming issues.
And that’s it! Hopefully you can now stream live video from your favorite Kodi addons.

Neither of these steps worked in fixing my problem along with the tips on comments. Still having “web request failed” every time I try click anything
Both were already enabled – did not help at all.
I’ve tried all of these and after clicking on a game, it “loads” then returns to the list of games
What I did notice if that this fix absolutely worked for me. Can you please help me good Pro Sports?
Nothing working for NBA. Tried everything.
I tried all the comments above… none worked. But then I tried Doug’s advice and WAM-BAM-THANK YOU MAAM! Thanks Doug!
I just got Sportsdevil installed tonight and had many problems finding any links to work, and finally stumbled on something under “Live Sports” heading with subtitle “live9.co”. Found easy list of major sports Monday Night Football, every NBA game, NHL etc. and almost every link worked great! try it, you’ll like it!
Thanks Victoria that worked for me 👌
Ok folk do the first 2 steps described on here then go to add ons and update the app. It will work after. You might get another error when you choose the fight link but try another one youll find one that
works.
Manually updating seemed to do something but still no streaming 🙁
I had the same issue, but I went to system, settings, add-ons, My add-ons, Video add-ons, and then clicked on SportsDevil and clicked on update and it worked fine after that. I had auto-update clicked on but I guess it wasn’t updating, but it looks like manually updating SportsDevil worked for me. Hope this helps. Cheers.
I tried and it didn’t work either
Still having issues??? No matter I cleare cashe , reinstalled …but in vain ???
Ever notice how the tips never work? Lol
No work man kodi still crashes and shows the error
Try downloading/installing sportsdevil launcher. When u run the app, it’ll ask u if u wanna clear the cache, select yes. That’s it!
Didnt work either and season starts today lol
Any other way of doin this as cart find this
No joy here; RTMP Input and InputStream Adaptive were already enabled. I disabled them and re-enabled. I wonder if I disable them if that would work?
The frustrating thing is that on a whim I tried a church channel. THAT one works! Nothing else done, but the useless Church channel works! Talk about adding insult to injury!
Is there a solution for having no inputstream adaptive available?
LibreElec 8.0.3 Kodi 17.3 Enabled RTMP Input and InputStream Adaptive still get “Web Request Failed”. OpenVPN add-on installed trying new places with failures.
I have Kodi 17.2 installed and am trying to fix the web request failed issue in Sports Devil. However within VideoPlayer input stream there is no InputStream Adaptive. Upon checking on a different device that has Kodi 17.1 it is there. It seems the Kodi update has caused a problem
Does anyone have an answer?
no luck, still getting “Web Reuqest Failed”
Ungortunately, Didnt work for kodi for sportsdevil still no streams.
VideoPlayer Input Stream does not appear in My Addons. Just updated to 17.1. Any suggestions?
