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.

Updating Your Add-ons and Repositories in Kodi

Updating Add-ons / Repositories Updating your list of Add-ons and Repositories is the best way to ensure Kodi is functioning properly. Rather than checking, many newcomers think it’s better to just Uninstall the Add-on/Repo and reinstall it again. Totally unnecessary for many reasons. Consider this, if your vehicle runs out of fuel, would you replace it with another of the same make and model ? Of course not, you would find a way to fill it with fuel and carry on. Therefore, updating the Add-ons/Repos is like refueling your vehicle. This is another topic in our continuing effort to help the newcomers/beginners to the world of Kodi. You can view many more Blogs on a wide assortment of helpful topics here at Ares-Project Blog . Updating Repositories Rather than send an update for a single add-on that may be in a repo, the Dev will send one for the entire repo. It faster, more convenient and above all it saves time. Yet how do you know if your repo is up to date? Here are two exampl...

Motor Replays Kodi Add-on - UPDATE 2.8

This add on I sought out for my own use if I’m honest – I needed to catch up on some stuff I’d missed, then I found some stuff I’d stopped watching!

WiFi Settings & Tweaks for Kodi

I thought I’d cover the one of the most talked about issues in the world of streaming and thats WiFi and how to get the best out of it, practical measures and not some of the voodoo you read on some forums! What is WIFi? The term Wi-Fi refers specifically to the IEEE 802.11 set of standards for wireless networks. Several different standards are designated by a letter suffix on the 802.11, such as in 802.11g or 802.11n. In general all of the 802.11 standards operate on either a 2.4GHz or 5GHz radio frequency. 5GHz has much greater speed capability but a reduced range; generally speaking the lower a frequency the further it will travel, so don’t expect miracles if you switch to 5GHz. A key thing to note here is that if ANY device uses the older “b” standard then ALL devices *could* have their speed reduced to 11mbps on “g” networks, depending on your router. This really applies to older equipment or cheap equipment with old parts used in it *cough* t...

Well here’s a fix that everyone will be able to apply to Kodi 16.1, Krypton 17 and all Forks. Understanding where and how to adjust the video screen is one of the easiest fix that anyone can do.
