Sportsdevil not working error & how to fix it
1. One of the main reason for this issues is that you may be using the older versions of Kodi. It is advised that you must use the latest version of Kodi for the proper working of your addons and media library. If you are using an old version of Kodi, there are possibilities that sportsdevil may not run on your Kodi. You can update to the latest version of Krypton or Leia for the proper working. You can download the update from the official Kodi website.

Sportsdevil web request failed
Sportsdevil web request failed is one common issue that most of the kodi users face. Well, it arises because the required file/video is not available on the server. Or the server hasn’t processed the request. Generally, it takes a maximum of 8 seconds. After that, the connection will time out. You can try clearing cache to fix the issue. Or you can use a VPN like IPVanish to access the contents. This will helps you to bypass all the restrictions that your ISP made to throttle your internet speed.
Sportsdevil no stream available
In order to address this issue, we must understand the working of Sportsdevil first. Most of the sports addons work on the basis of sports devil framework. All the streaming are done based on the m3u file. When you click on a certain link, URL Resolver will try to obtain the link to that file from the m3u file. Since most of the sports events are live streamed, sportsdevil has its own framework to stream the contents. So if the URL resolver cant finds the m3u file, it will throw no stream available error. To fix this issue, try updating URL Resolver.
One of the other reasons for this issue is that the link may be expired. In such case, it will display no stream available. Sometimes, your ISP may be throttling. You can use a VPN to fix this issue. We highly recommend VPN like IPVanish to fix this issue.
