You have to rely on:

the plug in working properly (this can come with it's own set of headaches)

the link that you're streaming from isn't dead or DCMA'd

Based on those two, Kodi can be hit or miss depending on what you're trying to watch and what plug ins you're using. If you click on something and it doesn't work, the cause could be one or the other, or a combination of both. Now with the crack down a lot of links could possibly be DCMA'd.

It won't be for long though cause something is gonna replace it
