I have split your post and moved it to Windows for now, until we get further information.

You will need to provide a debug log. Full instructions are in my signature below, but here is a quick guide...

1. Enable Debugging mode. Go to Settings>System Settings>Logging and it should be the first option
   
2. Restart Kodi
   
3. Replicate the problem. Try installing and playing one of your add-ons.
   
4. Upload the results to https://pastebin.com/ or https://paste.ubuntu.com/ and link back here.
   

Note: Full logs only. No partial or redacted logs

The log file is named kodi.log and it is located in C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata. You must locate this log file and copy it's contents to a public pastebin type site as follows:

1. Navigate to the \kodi\ directory as described above, and locate the file named kodi.log
   
2. Open the file with Notepad and copy all the contents of the document
   
3. Locate a Pastebin type site. Two examples are https://pastebin.com/ or https://paste.ubuntu.com/
   
4. Paste the contents of the kodi.log file
   
5. Press Paste or Generate
   
6. When the screen refreshes with your paste, copy the entire address in the address bar and paste it into a new message in your thread

instantiating addon using automatically obtained id of "plugin.video.abcfamily" dependent on version 2.20.0 of the xbmc.python api
Just a wild guess... Are all of your add-ons fully updated?

[Etwascodi]

yes

[DarrenHill]

One other basic thing to confirm - where are you located (or rather where is your IP address located)?

Many of the video add-on sources are geo-locked to their specific countries, so if you're trying to access the content via an IP address in a different country then you won't be able to see anything in them.

As a generic test, do non-locked add-ons like YouTube work for you?

[Etwascodi]

Yes I can get access to YouTube no sweat

Would it help I install a vpn?

I am in Asia thank you

[DarrenHill]

That's probably your issue then - if you look in the details for most of the add-ons you mentioned (or contact their authors) you'll see that their content is limited to the country IP range.

Our forum rules (wiki) prevent us from advising on working around things like geo-locking, so should you chose to use a VPN for such purposes it would be down to you and whomever you choose as a provider to get it to work. It's not something we will help with here.

Depending where your located in Asia, some ISP’s will block specific external sources.

VPN is an option.
