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.

Kodi Dlna Client and Server Setup for Krypton

What is Dlna ? WHAT IS DLNA? The term DLNA stands for “Digital Living Network Alliance”.

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.

Advanced Audio Settings The object of this Blog is to provide as much Information about the Audio Settings in Kodi/SPMC with out making it look like the Tech Specs. of an “Audiophiles” Sound System.
