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.

How to Disable/Enable Debug Logging in Krypton

Debug Logging in Kodi Krypton What is the debug log? A debug log can record database operations, system processes, and errors that occur when executing a transaction or running unit tests. Debug logs can contain information about: Database changes. HTTP callouts. Apex errors. “Sometimes you might be asked to enable additional debug logging “components”, which is an option in this same Settings/System/ Debugging area. If you were not asked to enable anything extra, then don’t worry about those additional settings. Restart Kodi : so that the log file records important startup information.” (excerpt from kodi wiki) Kodi-Wiki Log file . Disabling Debug Logging Occasionally a new user will start Kodi for the first time after purchasing a “loaded” Android Box and encounter some very odd looking numbers at the top of their screen ! “Is my Kodi Broken?”. No this is not a scene fro...

Project Cypher

This is an add on thats been around for a while, with a mix of content, mostly that I haven’t used to be honest, but its recently started to produce some good live streams with I think makes it worthy of recommending. I worked through some of the content this morning and there is a mix of stuff, but of real interest to me personally is the quality of the live links. The other content such as Lingerie Football and Lingerie Fighting is unique to the add on (AFAIK), plus there plenty of horror under the “dark side” link and Serial Killer content too, should that be your thing.

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 . Click Here Installation on Kodi Jarvis (16) Click SYSTEM > F...

Kodi Advanced Settings Pt 2

This is the second part of The Advanced Settings XML article, in this follow up post I want to cover a few extra items. Skip Loop Filter Package Folder SIze Remote Delay Remote Repeat Specifcally the first is for Amazons Firestick and reduces the overhead on the GPU by removing some “unseen” frames from the video stream. Skip Loop Filter Click Programs Click Easy Advanced Settings Click Edit Settings Click Audio/video playback settings Click Skiploopfilter Click 8 You can back up to the twice and hit Write XML file Package Folder Size You’ll hear this a lot “purge packages”; so lets explain, packages are the zips Kodi downloads to install your add-ons. Kodi keeps them in case you want to roll back from an upgrade. However, they mostly just use up storage space. They have no connection to buffering, nor speed, nor performance, another often touted myth! We can remove the need to do this monthly clean up by simply setting a fixed size for the fo...

At The Flix by Maverick Movie Kodi Add-on

At The Flix may be one of my favorite add-ons now a days for movies and it is just done well. Maverick hit a home run with this add-on and I cannot praise him enough for the work he put together. At The Flix is that movie add-on you dream of with sections dedicated to 4K UHD (Ultra High Definition), Real Debrid, New Releases, Latest Tv Shows, Kids Movies, and much more. Oh did I mention he also included a music section and the ability to pair with sources prior to starting? At The Flix: Current version of this addon is 2.0 – first detected 2018-02-02 This add on is “unofficial” and therefore not supported by Kodi Tv or XMBC foundations, please do not ask on their forums for help, go to ares-project.uk for further support.
