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.

Finally, select Agree or Disagree. At this point, if you are unsure or uncomfortable in proceeding, Click Disagree to cancel the final steps of installation.

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...

Why Reboot Router: DNS Cache

Why reboot my Router ? How does flushing a DNS cache help resolve some issues, and while you’re at it what’s DNS? We hope when you are finished with this article you will feel comfortable with a few things. First off, we hope you feel you had DNS explained in some detail. Secondly, we hope you understand a little further why it is important to reboot your router. You would be very surprised with how a simple reboot of your router can fix many of the issues you are having. DNS First, a quick review of what DNS is. DNS is an acronym for the Domain Name System. As you probably already know, every device on a network is identified by an IP (Internet Protocol) address. However, you and I rarely know or care what the IP addresses are; we use names instead, like “google.com”. DNS is what maps from names to IP addresses. When your computer accesses a domain name for the first time, it performs what’s called a DNS request...

Guide to Installing Kodi: Beginner's Edition

Kodi, A Guide for New Users This next article is going to be an all-in-one guide on how to set up Kodi from where to find it to how to install an add-on. This guide will serve to partner with the theme of creating helpful articles for the everyday, new Kodi user. We will focus on keeping the language understandable and hope this article helps teach you something new. By the end of this article we will have answered the what, where, and how to install Kodi, along with a repository, and an add-on. You may or may not be aware; however, the community is ever changing especially in the recent 12 months. More and more developers and groups have been shut down, received cease & desist letters, or have grown frustrated by treatment from other community members. This has made it tougher to find the reliable all-in-one build as your go-to builder could hang it all up. So our goal is for this guide to help you sit in the driver seat. The What As we said we are going to tackle a lit...

Deleting Old non-working URL's from File Manager

Deleting URL’s from File Manager We have all used the File Manager in Kodi to install different URL’s for various links to Repositories or Add-ons. Links become redundant for a number or reasons; however, the most common reason is abandonment by the developer. A perfect example is the TVA Fusion link, it became invalid and the link will no longer connect. Why remove the url links ? Keeping these URL links installed in File Manager is harmless, but keeping the file manager uncluttered is never a bad habit. Some of you may have typed the wrong url address by mistake. Instead of removing it right away, you just re-type the correct url address. I know how easy that is having done that myself on occasion. As a result, you have many duplicate sources in your File Manager section. The removal method is exactly the same for Jarvis & Krypton. Yet, I have combined photo examples for both just so you can follow along. While I was...

Ares Wizard for Kodi - Updated .69 ( new sources added)

You may well have heard of the legal threats made to the Ares Project (more on this in another article) however, in the meantime we have edited the “contentious” content to avoid further legal harrasment. The Ares Wizard no longer has links to builds or add-ons. It still has one of the best Kodi video cache tools (the first in the scene to do this dynamically per device), and the best backup and restore tool. You can backup any build for safe keeping, ut you can also restore ANY build zip using Ares restore option – it will auto detect the any full build restores (eg the skin settings) and perform a force close to ensure a proper and full restore. The Wizard must be a huge install? Just to reassure users of the Ares Wizard – its a very light install – the zip 2.5 megabytes and fully installed with all graphics etc is a mere 4.5 megabytes. Yes we know trolls from other jealous wizards/builds are claiming it adds 400Mb to installs (but they have no proo...
