Gaia: Add-on for Kodi-Part One

Gaia Streaming Add-on

Gaia is a Kodi addon for streaming movies, shows, documentaries, and short films from a variety of sources, such as torrents, usenet, hosters, and video streaming services. This Add-on is optimized for premium services such as Premiumize, OffCloud, RealDebrid, and EasyNews.

Due to the length of configuring this add-on, this article will be in two(2) parts. We will show you how to install Gaia Add-on in part 1. Part 2 will offer you two configuration options, Manual or using the built-in Wizard. So lets begin.

What do I need to Install Gaia ?

Besides the Repo, it is highly recommended to have a VPN installed if you plan on using this add-on due to its streaming of Torrent Files. A Real Debrid and Premiumize.me Accounts will greatly improve the results. Premiumize.me along with Real Debrid are a Paid Service. ResolveURL and URL Resolver should be up to date and enabled prior to installing Gaia as I found out when first trying to install this add-on (many times)

For more information about installing Premiumize.me, click here, and for Real Debrid, click here.

Installing Gaia Add-on

There are two methods to install the Gaia repo. Installing the repo via File Manager or by downloading the Zip File. For those who are unsure on either method, please click this link for instructions on how to use either one. If using the File Manager method, type this exactly as the source: https://repo.gaiakodi.com. If installing via the Zip File, use this link to download the file, don’t forget to save it where you can find it later.

Once you see the Confirmation notification of the repo successfully installed:

Go to Add-ons.

Select the Open Box icon at the top left corner.

Select Install from repository.

Click on Gaia Repository 1.

Locate Gaia and click to continue.

gaia

Select Install to continue.

Confirming Installation

As a result, there will be a number of notifications that will appear in the top right corner. These will show the dependencies needed to enable the add-on to operate. For this article we are concentrating only on Gaia, Elementum and Quasar are two options that can be installed later on if you wish during the configuration portion. However, during my experimenting with this installation I did not bother with either one. So I have no opinion on whether these are of any benefit to install.

Once installed, click on Gaia to open. At this point there will be Three(3) bit’s of legal mumbo jumbo that you will have to select Continue to proceed.

Select Continue.

Changing the Movie Icon Size in Krypton/Jarvis

What is a Movie Icon ? Movie Icon is a general term used to describe the Fan-art of a Movie/TV Show in a Video Add-on. Such as Placenta, Elysium or Death Streams to name a few. Many also call it Thumbnails because it is a small version of a Poster of a Movie/TV Show. All Devs utilize these Icons to give those using their Add-ons a visual aid of what each Movie/TV Show appears as. So you sit down with the Family to watch a movie. But wouldn’t it be nice to just see what movies there are in a larger Icon like you seen in a Poster. Especially for the little ones who can’t read but certainly recognize a Favorite Character of theirs. To be honest even some the “Older Kids” eyesight could use a break from squinting I’m sure,present company included. Here are a few easy steps that will allow you to view a Icon or enable Thumbnail view. For this article a “clean” version of Krypton 17.3 was used with the Estuary Skin. Jarvis 16.1 version was used with the Pulse Build and Xonfluen...

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.

The Unjudged: Multi Section Kodi Add-on

The Unjudged is the newest add-on to be added to Illuminati Repo and it is a mixture of a few add-ons plus so original sections. As you recently saw we told you about Dothraki & Insomniac and both of these add-ons are no longer available on their own. The folks at Team Illuminati folded everything into The Unjudged and built a HUGE all in one add-on that rivaled the likes of add-ons like Bob Unleashed & Phoenix. The difference is this add-on has it all broken out by section instead of developers. The Unjudged has movies, tv shows, live tv, 24/7 content, news sections, comedy, fitness, and more! WOW I ran out of breath just trying to tell you about all the awesome content in this add-on. Oh did I mention Anime, Catch-up Tv (including the Soap Operas), Documentaries, and a kids section. Of course we cannot forget Trakt Integration, and Debrid integration. Well that’s enough about how great this add-on is and why don...
