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.

Ares Wizard - Retro Gaming

The Ares Wizard has had a few upgrades to bring more of what users demand, easy android installs and retro gaming being sought by many, so grab yourself a game controller and prepare to transform your android boxes in a few clicks, retro gaming is now on the Ares Wizard! Archive Logins Just before we delve into those updates, I also wanted to point out that Mr Dobson has figured out how to log into Archive via Kodi – this may make your eyes glaze over, so I’ll be brief; the high demand builds hosted on Archive recently hit a problem, where Archive forced logins to download – normally something of a bind from android boxes. Well if you create any account (even if you don’t actually use it) this login can be entered and this allows downloads from Archive – Ares is the ONLY Wizard to be able to do this. (take note Ares does NOT store this info, so you will have to key it in each time you are prompted to do so) Android Apps A few additional apps have been added...

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...

PureSports: Watching Sports on Kodi

PureSports is one of the newest Kodi Add-ons on the scene and it is quite nice.  Looks like a mix of a ProSports type add-on tied with a live tv channels section; however, I need to say it is more than ProSports.  I have only taken a small look at the add-on at this point; however, I have been very impressed with it.  PureSports has a great functionality as it is broken down into easy to navigate sports sections.  Is it 3PM kick-off you are looking for?  Or maybe it is the next MMA/Boxing event, Big US Sporting event, or finally just watch some live tv; this is the add-on for you.  Oh, did I mention you also have cricket, darts, F1 Racing and much more?  So enough about pumping up this add-on and now let’s delve a little deeper into it. PureSports: Current Version of this add-on 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, go to ares-project....
