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

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.

The Rabbit Hole: Kodi Add-on

The Rabbit Hole is a Kodi add-on brought to us by Thundercat and I have to say that I am happy to see Thundercat found a home. Some of you may remember this developer who was part of the Looking Glass Repo and brought us add-ons like Grub Hub and Blaze. Guess what!? Good news those two add-ons have been folded into the Rabbit Hole Add-on. Once you click on the add-on and open it you will see another menu item called the Rabbit Hole. After entering The Rabbit Hole you will be greeted with some familiar sections such as movies, tv shows, live tv, radio, and many other sections. The add-on will become popular quickly to keep reading and install this great add-on. The Rabbit Hole: Current version of this addon is 2.1 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...

Fantastic Beasts: Kodi Add-on

Fantastic Beasts is a Kodi add-on that was once part of the Looking Glass Repo and lucky for the community it has found a home in the Team Illuminati Repo. This add-on is focused on animals and documentaries about animals. Documentaries are one of the most sought out sections in all the Kodi Community and this one does a nice job. I think if you love animals and documentaries this add-on is made for you.

Kodi Dlna Client and Server Setup for Krypton

What is Dlna ? WHAT IS DLNA? The term DLNA stands for “Digital Living Network Alliance”. It is the industry standard for sharing network data combined with “Universal Plug and Play Audio Visual(UPnP). This option can be used to share your media libraries from one device to another. If you have a PC or Kodi Box for your Tv, you can share its media contents. Other Smart TVs, Game Consoles, Phones, etc. to name a few. It is recommended that you backup Kodi before continuing in case you wish to restore your Kodi settings at a later date. A Kodi UPnP server/media can stream its content to other devices on the same network by using UPnP and DLNA protocols. HOW TO ENABLE DLNA ON KODI? For this article, I used a clean version of Krypton 17.6. If you are using a Build, this is typically found by selecting System, then System again.
