How to Install Every Repo

The key thing to adding content to Kodi is via repositories – a “repo” is the “central storage point” for an authors add ons. Add-ons provide you with content, so you will see someone reference say Genesis and Lambda – Lambda is the author and has his repository, and Genesis is the add on held in that repo for you to install. A repo can have multiple add ons. These add ons are grouped as Program, Video, etc.

I hope that’s simple enough – that’s my fifth version, if you have a simpler way to explain, please comment below and I’ll add it in!

Repository Addresses

Every repo has a url, an address (or source) you need to add into Kodi’s File Manager in order to install the repo into your Kodi locally. I have created a list of the most popular (I hope!) although this isn’t meant to be every repo every created.

I am providing a list here of the repo’s rather than write 150 articles for each individual. This will also be a reference point for you in future if you need a repo. If you are a dev/publisher please feel free to add your repo and what you provide in the comments section.

These are the top epos that will get you most of what you need and will contain repos that are listed below in the additional section. For the newer users this will seem confusing – but the some repos contain the source to add other repos – hence I have listed only a small number here – the first 5 contain the vast majority of anything you will ever need.

Please comment to get your repo added!

Installing Any Repo Into Kodi

Highlight System and Slide to File Manager

Double Click Add Source

kodi add source

Add the required URL from the list above

Click Done

repo url kodi

Give this a relevant name, Fusion, Ares etc;

Click OK+++

name kodi repo source

Now Kodi knows where to find the Repo we can add it.

Goto Kodi home screen

Click System

kodi system

Click Addons

kodi add on options

Click Install from zip file

kodi install from zip

Choose the Name you called the Source you added earlier – so Ares, Fusion etc from the list

Now Choose the Repo Zip

This example shows unblockr – but look for the name of the repo – click OK

Once you click OK the zip – wait a moment for it to install, you will get an “add-on enabled” notification – however, its important to note, this is just the repo, you now have to install the add-ons.

If you’ve arrived here from any article, you should head back there now and follow the guide there for the particular add-on.

This guide will serve to partner with the theme of creating helpful articles for the everyday, new Kodi user. We will focus on keeping the language understandable and hope this article helps teach you something new. By the end of this article we will have answered the what, where, and how to install Kodi, along with a repository, and an add-on. You may or may not be aware; however, the community is ever changing especially in the recent 12 months.

Why rebooting your Router is Important

Why Reboot My Router ? How does flushing a DNS cache help resolve some issues, and while you’re at it what is DNS? “Reboot your router then your device” is a phrase that is often used, yet misunderstood. Most noteworthy is when solving issues with Kodi. The intent of this article is to provide a simpler understanding of why rebooting your Router does make a difference. What does DNS have to do with a Router First, a quick review of what DNS is. DNS is an acronym for the Domain Name System. As you probably already know, every device on a network is identified by an IP (Internet Protocol) address. However, you and I rarely know or care what the IP addresses are; we use names instead, like “google.com”. DNS is what maps from names to IP addresses. When your computer accesses a domain name for the first time, it performs what’s called a DNS request, which boils down to asking “Hey, what’s the IP address for ‘google.com...

Serial Killers Lite: Kodi Add-on

Serial Killers Lite is definitely a unique Kodi Add-on for several reasons. First, obviously, it is one of the few add-ons that is exclusively focused on Serial Killers. Secondly, it is one of the few add-ons that also requires Real Debrid for several sections. The good part about that is you know you will have some great private streams. This add-on is definitely a niche add-on but I believe there are many who share my fascination with Serial Killers; so I think this add-on will become immensely popular once people hear about it! I think Mookdog did a very nice job with this add-on. Serial Killers Lite: Current version of this addon is 1.2.0 This add on is “unofficial” and therefore not supported by Kodi Tv or XMBC foundations, please do not ask on their forums for help. You can unblock many “dns censored” sources with a smartdns solution If you use p2p add ons, torrents, or in countries that prohibit streaming use ...

Utilizing Alluc.ee in Add-ons for Kodi

This article will show you how to take advantage of the benefits of using a Alluc.ee Account in the Kodi Add-ons Elysium, Placenta, Death Streams and Rebirth. These are just some of the many add-ons for Movies and TV Shows available and are quite easy to navigate. What is Alluc.ee? First off, let’s take a look at what Alluc.ee is about. Here is a brief description of Alluc.ee and how you can take advantage of what it has to offer: “Alluc.ee (pronounced: “all-you-see”) is a user-generated link-sharing-website that catalogs links to TV shows, movies, music videos, sport, anime and cartoons. Alluc does not host any content itself. Alluc.ee also does not contain any download links, all are links to streaming video sharing websites. Users provide the links in the right category and they are released to the site after having been checked by the administrators. Video hosting sites that are linked include YouTube, Dailymotion, and Veoh, among others....

Free Kodi on iOS No Jailbreak.

For Non-Jailbreak iOS Devices Installing Kodi on iOS For all you iOS users it seems the world of free streaming is just that bit more complicated than for the rest of us. Putting Kodi on iOS has never been easy. Unless you are willing to risk an attempt to jailbreak what has probably been your most frivolous purchase this year, which is only an option for certain version of the iOS operating system and could easily go very wrong unless you are which is only really an option if you are a more experienced user who is confident they know what they are doing. It only takes one wrong move in an attempt to Jailbreak and that shiny new iPhoneX could easily become noting more than ornament. A failed attempt to Jailbreak an iOS in order to gain more control over the content you are are able to download and use on your device will most likely have left any and all warranties or guaranties you may have had with the device null and void as it stated in the terms...
