Diamond Media Player

What Is DMP?

I get asked this enough that it deserves its own page. Diamond Media Player is more than a Movies and TV Shows menu. It brings together media discovery, multiple playback providers, source systems, personal lists, cloud tools and a growing collection of extras in one Kodi add-on.

This page is the short version: what the main sections do without turning the explanation into a book.

The Main Menu

Open DMP and these are the major areas you are working with.

Playback

Quick Playback Controls

Switch provider, choose your 4K or 1080p preference, and use AutoPlay or manual source selection. DMP supports Real-Debrid, TorBox, Premiumize, Torrin, Gratis Red and Ask Every Time.

A Little Different

Diamond-Hosted Source System

A large part of DMP's source/indexer infrastructure is hosted by me. For those sources, my server is serving the backend/database directly to DMP instead of the add-on depending entirely on somebody else's public database staying online. There are external exceptions, of course, including services such as Pirate Bay and Torrin, but a significant part of the Diamond source system is under my own control.

Real-Debrid Cache Discovery

Diamond Shared Cache Status

Diamond can identify known Real-Debrid cached sources before playback is attempted. Server-side background cache discovery keeps building that shared status data, and confirmed cached sources are prioritized first during AutoPlay. No additional user setup is required.

Free-Source Fallback

Gratis Red Integration

Gratis Red works differently from DMP's normal source system. When selected, DMP hands the movie or episode metadata to the separate Gratis Red add-on. Gratis Red then performs its own fresh provider search and handles playback itself. This integration is done with permission from Red Wizard, the developer of Gratis Red. It also makes a useful fallback — I've even seen it find a few movies or TV episodes that DMP's normal source search did not.

Browse

Movies

Browse movie lists from Simkl, Trakt and TMDb, including trending, popular, latest releases, Now Playing, Top Rated, genres, years, actors, keywords and more.

Browse

TV Shows

Browse trending and popular TV, TMDb categories, genres, years, Top Rated shows, Originals and TV search.

Lists

Trakt Public Lists

Browse movie and TV community lists, trending lists, popular lists and search public Trakt lists.

Anime

Browse trending, recent, popular, premieres, most watched, favorites, currently airing, upcoming titles, genres, providers and years.

Tracking

My Simkl

Access your Simkl movies and TV shows, watched/progress information and DMP's Simkl scrobbling features.

Fresh Releases

TPB Feed — Top Last 48 Hours

Quick-access feeds for recently active movie releases, including specialized sections such as AV1, HEVC/Remastered and Good Films.

Diamond Library

Diamond JSON List

My own movie-list system with Years, Decades, Genres, A–Z browsing, full lists, multi-select views and search, with additional source options available when needed.

Personal Picks

YouTube Theater

Diamond YouTube Theater uses Diamond YouTube for search and playback without requiring each user to create a YouTube API key. The standard YouTube add-on is no longer required for Theater. Diamond YouTube is installed as a DMP dependency and powers Theater searches and playback directly.

Diamond Live Guide

Live TV, EPG & VOD

Browse Diamond Live with IPTV.org, LG Channels, Plex, Pluto, Samsung TV Plus, Sling and Tubi Live. The guide includes On Now, Up Next, All Channels, provider browsing, individual schedules, category browsing and Kodi PVR grid-guide support. Channels with current program information are shown first while channels with EPG gaps remain available afterward. Tubi VOD adds movies, TV series, seasons, episodes, category browsing and search. FilmOn VOD is also available in DMP.

Sports

Diamond Sports

DMP includes a dedicated Diamond Sports section with sports-focused menu integration and search access. It is designed to work alongside Diamond's live-channel and guide systems instead of being a separate schedule-only feature.

Under Development

Music

Music searching and related features are being built into DMP, including lossless releases, hi-res audio, MP3s, discographies, live recordings and audiobooks. This section is still under development and has a few issues I'm working on.

Search

Torrent Advanced Search

Search Diamond-hosted sources directly or search enabled combined sources for movies and TV.

Search

TMDb / Trakt Search

Movie search, TV search, collection search and Trakt public-list search are available in one place.

Cloud

My Cloud Manager

Manage Real-Debrid, TorBox and Premiumize cloud content, along with local video playback tools.

Accounts

My Authorizations

Manage Simkl, TorBox, Premiumize and Real-Debrid authorization and related account functions. For Real-Debrid, DMP can use ResolveURL's existing authorization directly while ResolveURL handles token refresh and credential rotation.

Customize

My Settings

Configure playback behavior, providers, search sources, quality preferences, filters and the rest of DMP's options.

So, what does DMP do?

It's a collection of media lists, search systems, source infrastructure, playback providers, cloud tools and extra media features that I've put together in one Kodi add-on.

And where practical, I'm also running the backend that powers it. DMP continues to grow, and some newer sections — especially Music — are still being developed.
