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

Give this a relevant name, Fusion, Ares etc;

Click OK+++

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.

Pron.tv, The New Alternative to Alluc.ee ? Part 2.

Pron.tv What is an API Code and in addition how will Pron.tv enhance my search results in Kodi. First of all, lets explain what an API Code is : Basically, an API specifies how software components should interact. Additionally, APIs are used when programming graphical user interface (GUI) components. A good API makes it easier to develop a program by providing all the building blocks. A programmer then puts the blocks together. An application programming interface key ( API key ) is a code passed in by computer programs calling an application programming interface (API) to identify the calling program, its developer, or its user to the Web site. Pron.tv Add-on List As a result of following Part 1 , it was necessary to provide a List of Current Add-ons that have Pron.tv in their list of Scrapers. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of Add-ons with pron.tv while doing my research. I will give a brief descript...

Click Here: Kodi Add-on by SkyDarks

Click Here is one of the newest Fork and it has a very clever name. Invoking you to just “click here” to get all the movies and tv shows you could ever want. This add-on doesn’t have any of the “extras” that some of the other forks have; however, it does work nicely. Click Here has all the sames features you enjoyed in Covenant including the ability to add Trakt and Debrid accounts. I like that the developer Swiper kept it close to the original and just changed up some artwork. Click Here: Current version of this addon is 1.0 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 a vpn from a reputable provider like Private Internet Access .

TV Addons - Crypto Mining Hack

If you have been using Kodi third party addons for any length of time, you cannot have missed the controversy that always seems to surround TV Addons and the antics of its owner, Adam Lackman. In recent history there have been a number of high profile repo “hacks” and if you think back a little further, there was the DDOS hidden in the popular Exodus add-on. TV Addons Hack & Virus History Exodus DDOS “bot” So if you dont recall TV Addons hugely popualr Exodus add-on had some code added to it to DDOS attack. This was in response to a clone or fork of the addon that TVA took exception against. This seems rather bizarre given the amount of forks that are flying around now! Here is a link to that article. Exodus Botnet We did remove a lot of the post – but heres some links showing the code and how it was added; Exodus DDOS code Target of DDOS TVA & Indigo Repo Hijacks So lets review the repo hijacks – hotly denied, but who else has a v...
