Kodi (XBMC) Installation & Configuration Overview This guide will attempt to briefly provide anyone interested in creating a media center capable of delivering virtually any media available online, free or paid, as well as playing any media collection you already have. Kodi is the framework for configuring the best custom media center anyone could hope to, and it is Open Source, constantly upgraded / developed by an active community, and per the nature of open source, will always be free. All of its updates will also, always be free.
Don't let that fool you! Kodi is better than the paid media centers I have experienced, and well worth the time and effort it takes to set it up. While it can access any paid media service you have, paying for media is not necessary, as it will access virtually anything you could ever want for free, and on demand, as well.
This guide will attempt to cover the Windows installation in the USA (English Speaking) with possible work arounds to being blocked in other countries. NOTE: I will put up this rough outline (more like installation notes, but working on becoming the guide promised), and will updated it over time, until it becomes a proper guide. I apologize for the delay, as this is taking MUCH longer to pull everything together than I had hoped. Step 1 - Get and Install Kodi Get the Download the latest full version of Kodi, and install it on your computer. At the present time this it is Krypton.
This page was originally written for older versions of the Kodi interface (before 17), but has been updated for the newer interface. Young jeezy tm 101 zip. This is the framework for your entire media center! NOTE: If you are installing Kodi in a Linux based operating system, you will need to install from the Terminal if you want the latest stable release. The Kodi interface is the same for ALL operating systems, such as Windows, Mac, and Linux.
For a guide to Installing Kodi in Ubuntu (Linux), at the bottom of this very page. Step 2 - Add Repositories for Add-ons, to set up Kodi Repositories are where all the Add-ons which give kodi it amazing abilities are. Linux users will have a better idea of what repositories are. Repositories are basically where all the software (Add-ons) for Kodi are. You need to add Repositories, in order to access the zip files containing the Add-ons!
This guide will provide you with the must have Repositories, that every Kodi user will want. NOTE: You may copy and paste the repository links below from this page into Kodi's File Manager. HINT: To Paste into Kodi, Hold down the ctrl key and press v - To Copy you may also hold the ctrl key and press c NOTE: From KODI 17 on (Estuary Theme), System is now accessed by a Gear Icon - See image below Home Page image from top left corner of interface. Getting around in KODI 17 - With NO BACK BUTTON NOTE: There is NO Back Button icon, or Home Button icon in Estuary (KODI's latest theme). When you need to go back a page or level, and there is no.
Up one page / level (parent) option, the following will work: 1) Right Click in an empty space on the page you are on 2) Left click the page / path title in the top left corner of the page 3) Press the Backspace button on the keyboard 4) Press the Escape (esc) key on the keyboard From Kodi's Home Screen, go to: System File Manager Add Source. NOTE: In addition to adding the link, be sure to name them accordingly, so that you can find them later, when you add Zip Files.

URL Resolver K3l3vra & k3l3vra Repo Exodus for now, use SimplyCaz Specto.Fork MrKnowURL Resolver A dependency for Bob & Specto TKNorris Beta Repo NOTE: Some fixes for issues resulting from repo sites being gone.
Download the repository zip files from their source, and install in Kodi using Install from zip option. Then update what needs updating, from the manually installed repos. Covenant can be installed using the XvBMC repo. The URL Resolver can also be obtained from the TVaddons and LookingGlass repo SALTS (official) can be installed from TKNorris Release Repo. Elysium can be installed from NanRepo. 1Channel can be installed from the TKNorris Release or Kodil Repo.
M4U can be installed from the Kodil Repo. Fork can be installed from the SupreRepo. SALTS 2.0.203 from Smash repo works well, and does not require the fix! More possible fixes to issues created by repos going down, coming soon. NEXT Add the Zip Files: Before KODI 17: From the Home Screen, go to: System Settings Add-ons Install from zip file From KODI 17 on: NOTE: In System System Settings Add-ons Unknown Sources needs to be enabled!

XvBMC Repos Repository Folder Zip Name Notes repository.xvbmc-x.x.x.zip Add this, then in Addon repository section of the XvBMC repo, add the TKNorris Release Repo. This should provide the Exodus Repository needed to install the newly 3rd party released and (hopefu;lly) maintained Exodus.
NOTE: TKNorris is a awesome developer. It is great to have his support! Video Account Links Note: The Trakt account for the SALTS add-on is the only one really needed, most others don't get you much. An account for Alluc allows you to use the alluc.ee (formerly alluc.com) api for the SALTS scraper. Alluc provides many sources. A free Ororo account allows you to get Ororo sources, which are usually good. A free Simply-Debrid account is useful for providing links at the top of the source list (when sorted) which are more likely to.
Audio Accounts - New Note: These Audio Services REQUIRE an account. Set up a Download Folder for your Add-ons to download Content into: Use your File Manager (Windows Explorer) to brows to a location on your Hard Drive, and Right Click.
From the Right Click Menu, Select New Folder Name the Folder Something Appropriate, such as Kodi Downloads (For this guide we will name our folder Kodi Downloads). In each Add-on in which configuration settings are available to designate a Download Folder, Click its setting, and browse for the Kodi Downloads Folder you created. Whenever you select to download content using the configured Add-on, you will be able to find the files in this folder when the download is complete. Library Folder Locations for Mac and Linux: Linux: /.kodi/userdata/library Mac: /Users/your-user-name/Library/Application Support/Kodi/userdata/library NOTE: The Userdata folder and logs are hidden on Mac: By default, Mac OS X 10.7 hides the user's Library folder, which is where Kodi's userdata folder and logs are stored.
There are a few ways to get around this: -While in the Finder, click on the 'Go' menu and hold down Option, then select Library.You can use programs such as TinkerTool to change the visibility of all or some hidden files/folders.To permanently reveal the /Library folder, open up Terminal and run this command: chflags nohidden /Library Note: Anytime there is an OS X update (e.g. From version 10.7.3 to 10.7.4) you will have to run this command again as the folder will be hidden again. OpenELEC: /storage/.kodi/userdata/library Use Trakt Bookmarks in SALTS: This feature updates the your Trakt account with the time location in a show or movie, and allows you to stop a show or movie on one device, and Resume from that same time on another device. For example if you watch a show or movie in the living room, and wish to stop it, and continue watching in the bedroom, this feature allows you to resume right where you left off, on the other Kodi device. Step 5 - Display Recently Added (TV) Episodes, and Recently Added Movies - Libraries Follow for Kodi on a Windows machine, with one modification.see below! Instead of having Library content in many separate libraries (One for each Add-on / plug-in, as the Guide shows you) which makes modifying the library later on much more difficult, as you would have to track down the Add-on folder with the library content you wish to modify or remove. Using Windows Explorer (Your computers file manager): In the C: Users (Your Name) AppData Roaming Kodi userdata library (Folder) Add a TVShows Folder, and a Movies Folder.
Next in each Kodi Add-on / plug-in with settings for TVShows Folder, and Movies Folder, associate the TVShows and Movies folders settings of the individual plug-in / Add-ons, to the new Library Folders for TVShows and Movies respectively: Change ALL the Plug-ins / Add-ons library configuration settings, for TVShows to the TVShows Folder you made in 'Home userdata libraries', by Browsing each Add-ons 'Library' settings for the TVShows Folder to: Home userdata library TVShows. Then Click OK to select.
Also change ALL the Plug-ins / Add-ons library configuration settings, for Movies to the Movies Folder you made in 'Home userdata libraries', by Browsing each Add-ons 'Library' settings for its Movies Folder to the Home userdata library Movies Folder. Then, Click OK. This makes one ALL inclusive user library for Movies and one for TVShows, which is more easily modified / maintained, as you wont need to hunt for the specific individual Add-on / plug-in, in which the show or movie was originally saved, in order to delete shows, after (for example) their season ends. After the Libraries are set up continue, by adding content to the library via one of the plug-ins you set up to use your new TVShows, and Movies Folders, by selecting a show, and saving it to the library.
Save at least one TV Show, and at least one Movie to your new library set-up. Plug-ins with known suitable Movies and / or TVShows Library configuration Settings: 1Channel Genesis Much Movies HD Ororo TV Stream All The Sources The Mutts Nuts Yify.In Alphabetical Order. Once at least one TV show is saved to the library (after it has been set to use your folders, per the above procedure), from the Kodi Home screen, go to: Video Files Add Videos. Browse Home Folder userdata library TVShows OK Select TV Shows OK Duplicate the process for Movies.
Once at least one Movie is saved to the library (after it has been set to use your folders, per the above procedure), from the Kodi Home screen, go to: Video Files Add Videos. Browse Home Folder userdata library Movies OK Select Movies OK Make sure in System Settings to enable: Show Recently Added Videos From the Home Screen: Settings Appearance Skin - Settings Home Window Options Show Recently Added Videos When done you should notice these items displayed on the Kodi Home Screen, and when you hover over them, you should see show Art for each of the most recent episodes or recently added movies. Scrolling beyond what is displayed requires use of the keyboard right or left cursor keys. Library or Subscription?
Library - Adding Movies and TV shows to the Library, will only add that specific movie or show episodes, at that time they are added, but wont update future episodes as they air. Subscribing to a show will update episodes as they air. To do this: Specify a subscription list at (For example: I created a 'TV Shows' List for subscription purposes) Doing this will update the recent episodes for the show, every time episodes air, as the subscription updates. NOTE: Using Subscriptions requires a account, in order to create the Show list. Movies Section and Library If you wish to populate your Movies section in Kodi with a huge collection of movies which work from just one click, and can be easily browsed by categories, such as Title, Actor, Genre, Year, Director, etc (especially nice in Estuary which became the default skin in Kodi 17), then try the following: From the Home Screen: Click: Settings (The gear Icon) Media Settings (From Library, in the left column) Videos Add Videos. Add the URL's in the table below, with the recommended settings, and name them.
Film 1 through 4 are suggested names, and URL's and Names may be copied and pasted. After adding the URL, and naming it, once you click OK, you need to define what you added, in the Set Content window, and how it will be acted upon, in the future. All of the URL's in the table just below, are Movies! Therefore in the Set content window, select the following: This Directory Contains: Movies Choose information provider: The Movie Database Movie Library URL Movies in separate folders that match the movie title Scan Recursively Exclude from Library Updates Label Off On On-updates too slow Film1 NOTE: Allow all content from each URL, to be scanned into Kodi.
It will only create a database of the content, it will NOT download any content. Be aware, that it takes a long time to complete each scan, initially, when setting this up (about an hour per URL, give or take). Scanning goes reasonably fast, when the files from these URL's are all in one directory. You may wish to excluded remote sites from Library Updates, as they would take much too long to update, every time Kodi is loaded.
When the content is in a complex folder structure, navigating to all those directories, is slowed too much by server response time. They can be manually updated from time to time. Sites no longer hosting movie files Movie Library URL NOTE: If you already have these added in your system, you will want to remove them. They were removed for DMCA violations. Step 6 - Add IPTV PVR Channels To Set up LiveTV go to System Settings Add-ons Make sure PVR IPTV Simple Client is DISABLED!!!
Then go to System Settings LiveTV General Enable OK Scroll down to PVR IPTV Simple Client, and Enable it. Once enabled, go into Configuration, and Click M3U Playlist URL Add the URL of an IPTV Channel List, such as: or (NOTE: We have found this list out of date, with mostly dead links, which never seem to get updated) If you use Best You Can Get Channels, then add the URL of the IPTV Channel Logos: After adding the URL you will need to restart / reboot the Add-on. To do this disable the Add-on, and then after it is fully shut down, re-enable it. It should then load the channels from the channel list associated with the URL you provided. NOTE: Streaming IPTV channels streams go dead frequently, and the channel list constantly needs to be updated, to remove dead channels, and add new live ones. If you did everything correctly, you should notice TV to the left of Movies on the Home Screen.
Clicking TV, will access your new channels. Interface Tweaks Background - Pre-Kodi 17: If you ran the Fusion Configuration Wizard, you will notice the Background has changed. If you want the original Kodi Background back, or one of your own, then this is where you may configure it: System Settings Appearance -Settings Background Options Background (Simply click Enable Custom Background, to disable it) Click Background Path while it is Enabled, in order to browse for a different Background, if you want something all together different. Weather Kodi 17 on: Yahoo Weather: Add and configure a Weather Service - Yahoo Weather is currently the service of choice. Note: For some reason Yahoo Weather stopped working.
We hope it will be restored. In the mean time, try OpenWeatherMap Extended. System Service Settings Weather Service For Weather Information Get More Yahoo System Service Settings Weather Service For Weather Information Select Yahoo System Service Settings Weather Service For Weather Information - Settings Add locations by typing the ZIP Code To Get the current Weather to display in the top left corner of Kodi, do the following: System Interface Settings Skin -Configure Skin. General Show weather info in top bar OpenWeatherMap Extended - our preferred weather service: Add and configure a Weather Service - OpenWeatherMap Extended: System Service Settings Weather Service For Weather Information Get More OpenWeatherMap Extended System Service Settings Weather Service For Weather Information Select OpenWeatherMap Extended Go to the, and get the code for your city. Hint: Try using the 'Ctrl F' (Control F) find feature in your web browser, and type the name of your city, to quickly find your code. System Settings Weather Service For Weather Information - Settings Expert Location x ID (where x is the location number) Enter the code from the openweathermap.org City list, for the city you wish to add. When you are done adding your location(s), Click OK.
NOTE: OpenWeatherMap.org has stopped accepting http requests for its weather service. All requests must now be https. The add-on will not display correct weather as a result. To fix this (for those of you tech savvy enough) you can use a text editor, such as Notepad In Notepad browse to: C: Users YourUserName AppData Roaming Kodi addons weather.openweathermap.extended and open the addon.xml file. Use the find and replace feature to find http and replace it with https and save the file. OpenWeatherMapExtended should now work, once again! DNS Servers to try, if you don't use the benchmark tool.
IPv4 DNS Servers IPv6 DNS Servers Owner 208.67.222.123 2620:0:ccc::2 Open DNS and 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 2620:0:ccd::2 ONLY use OpenDNS servers at the very bottom of your DNS server list with Kodi! OpenDNS occasionally redirects, which is bad for Kodi! OpenDNS at the bottom of your DNS Server List ONLY (when using Kodi), as OpenDNS may occasionally redirect domains it thinks might contain malicious content, to a warning page for your protection, you may add OpenDNS, as they resolve what they don't redirect very well, are reasonably fast, and a trust worthy secure source for DNS resolution. To use OpenDNS IPv4 DNS Servers (use OpenDNS only at the bottom of your DNS server list. It occasionally redirects): In the Preferred DNS Server box Type: 208.67.222.222 In the Alternate DNS Server box Type: 208.67.220.220 NOTE: OpenDNS may filter some of the sites which various add-ons utilize, and redirect them to a web page, warning about them.
This redirect is meant for a web browser, and may cause the Kodi add-on to generate errors, and fail to function. This is NOT a bad add-on! It is the result of the add-on being directed away from the target site, to a different page by a DNS server.
Be aware that OpenDNS's DNS Servers are NOT the only public DNS servers to redirect failed or filtered look-ups to an alternate web page. Redirecting failed or filtered DNS look-ups to a web page containing advertising is a common way to generate profits. Level 3 Communications DNS Servers are one example of a redirecting public DNS Server. If you use the Free DNS Benchmarking tool recommended above, you will notice their name and icon in orange.
Orange indicates a redirecting DNS Server. Don't use servers in orange. Red indicates a completely unresponsive (Dead) server. Don't use servers in red.
DNS Server Speed will be organized in the results from top to bottom, fastest to slowest respectively. Look at the Tabular data results after running the benchmark.
(Still organized fastest to slowest). Look for the fastest DNS Servers, which are consistently reliable on all 3 tests when running the benchmark more than once.
NOTE: you may mix match DNS Servers like Google's in your DNS Settings, and (for advanced users) in advanced DNS settings one may add more than 2 DNS Servers. I have 11 DNS servers in my list, which I benchmarked for speed, and reliability, and checked to insure no redirects. Hint: Try both Sets of settings to see which one seems more responsive, from your location, if you did not benchmark to find the fastest 100% reliable at least 2 Servers.
IPv6 DNS Severs: 2001:4860:4860::8888 2001:4860:4860::8844 2610:a1:1018::5 2610:a1:1019::5 Redirecting - Not good for Kodi Use! 2610:a1:1018::1 2610:a1:1019::1 2001:470:20::2 2001:1608:10:25::1c04:b12f 2001:1608:10:25::9249:d69b 2001:428::1 2001:428::2 IPv6 DNS Server: 2001:418:3ff::53 2001:67c:28a4:: 2002:d596:2a92:1:71:53:: 2a02:6b8::feed:0ff 2a02:6b8:0:1::feed:0ff 2620:0:ccc::2 2620:0:ccd::2.
My personal, current working IPv6 DNS Server list, as a reference for others, sorted fastest to slowest. Benchmarked against IPv4 DNS, via benchmarking tool, and assuming IPv6 address counterpart of the same server will be comparable: Provider IPv6 Address NTT America 2001:418:3ff::53 Hurricane Electric 2001:470:20::2 DNS Advantage (UltraDNS) 2610:a1:1018::5 2610:a1:1019::5 Quest - Centurylink 2001:428::1 2001:428::2 Google DNS 2001:4860:4860::8888 2001:4860:4860::8844 DNS Watch (Accelorated-IT) 2001:1608:10:25::1c04:b12f 2001:1608:10:25::9249:d69b OpenDNS 2620:0:ccc::2 2620:0:ccd::2 NOTE: I did not use the German or Russian DNS Servers in the USA.
They benchmarked slower and less reliable, so I omitted them from my personal list. OpenDNS is at the bottom because, although it is usually good, it also sometimes redirects, which is not good when using Kodi. Windows install - after tvaddons.ag / fusion gone: If you need to install SALTS you can download and install the latest k3l3vra repository from zip, in Kod, or check for the latest versions of all things k3l3vra. Then install SALTS from the k3l3vra repository you just added.
BEWARE: There is a modified version, by someone other than k3l3vra, that has all trakt functionality stripped out of it, and the version number bumped up to 2.0.196, in order to push it to you as an update. The fix provided here, uses the latest OFFICIAL k3l3vra version of SALTS 2.0.195, and fixes the trakt issue, restoring full functionality. The modified add-on with trakt stripped out, is in an Exodus repository, by Merlin. The add-on even identifies Merlin as the source. Check to find official k3l3vra updated versions of SALTS, until there is an OFFICIAL k3l3vra repository hosted somewhere, again.
