Kodi allows you to create a comprehensive home theater by uniting different viewing streams from various sources. It is open-source software that works well with most devices, including laptops, smartphones, tablets, TVs, etc. With the best Kodi add-ons, you can combine your entertainment media on a single dashboard, including movies, sports, documentaries, and music.

Our research also discovered that some add-ons being presented to users online had broken links while others did not exist.

So, to help you pick the right resources, we have compiled a list of reliable Kodi add-ons of movies, TV shows, documentaries, sports, and more in this article.

Top 10 addons – The quick list

Types of Kodi addons

Generally, add-ons expand Kodi’s functionality. Here is their classification.

Official add-ons

These are Kodi add-ons created and supported by the XMBC Foundation. They are called ‘Official’ because they respect laws, restrictions, and copyrights. In most cases, they will give you access to official streaming services. Installing the app lets you access pay-per-view and subscription services within Kodi.

---

Third-party add-ons

The Kodi community is very diverse and develops various third-party add-ons. These will help you access virtually any stream and even break the most notorious barriers to present you with desired content. Third-party add-ons act like master keys that unlock closed doors without the owners’ permission. That is why they are often taken down. Nonetheless, these add-ons are widespread in the Kodi community, and you can use them to access any content you want for free.

Top Kodi addons categories

We have sorted the 43 best Kodi extensions into the seven categories below to help you quickly find what you want.

Best Kodi add-ons for movies and TV shows

The best Kodi movies and TV show add-ons should offer a vast content selection.

However, like streaming websites, some add-ons contain content restricted to people living in selected countries. In such cases, you can use a reputable VPN to bypass the restrictions and access whatever you want.

So, without further ado, below are some of the best Kodi add-ons for movies and TV shows:

Exodus Redux

• Repository name: Exodus Redux
• Source URL: https://i-a-c.github.io/
• Available countries: Worldwide

Exodus Redux is a reliable Kodi addon for top-notch TV shows and movies. We spent several days surfing the selection and were impressed with the high-quality content and fast streaming. However, we don’t encourage illegal activities, so ensure you do not stream copyrighted material.

Moreover, we advise you to use a reliable VPN, especially because Exodus Redux is an unofficial third-party Kodi addon. Fortunately, you will get full HD and playback options if you integrate it with Real-Debrid.

Odin

• Repository name: Odin Repository
• Source URL: http://www.narcacist.com/repo/
• Available countries: Worldwide

Odin is a video addon that allows users to stream a wide selection of on-demand content’s extensive shows and movies. This one is worth checking out if you’re looking for a one-stop shop for your entertainment needs. Moreover, it has a separate section for boxsets, kids’ zone, classics, documentaries, etc.

Odin was developed by a third party, so we can’t assure you of its safety. However, the Virus Total scan of the zip file shows no malicious items in it.

Still, always take extra precautions before considering it or any unknown addon you add. Moreover, the site’s legality is also a critical alert. We don’t recommend Odin, but you can consider it if you have a top-notch VPN like ExpressVPN, Private Internet Access, or NordVPN.

Using Odin or any Kodi add-on with Real Derbid and Trakt TV is highly recommended. It may cost you a few monthly bucks, but it will keep you safe from potential trouble. Moreover, you can enjoy your favorite content in 4K quality.

Currently, thousands of unofficial Netflix Kodi add-ons are available. However, CastagnalT is the safest option, as its developer is respected within the Kodi community. It is also highly secure, as it encrypts your Netflix login credentials. Also, it uses HTTPS internet protocol to connect you to Netflix. Thankfully, it deletes your data altogether when you log out.

---

Magic Dragon

• Repository name: EzzerMacs Wizard
• Source URL: https://ezzer-mac.com/repo
• Available countries: Worldwide

Magic Dragon is a Kodi addon for streaming various content, including movies and TV shows. While it has a vast collection of content, you should be cautious with the links you follow.

---

Gaia

• Repository name: GAIA Repository
• Source URL: https://repo.gaiakodi.com/
• Available countries: Worldwide

Gaia is a high-quality and powerful Kodi add-on. It is perhaps the best add-on on this list, primarily because of the browsing interface. It has various streaming options with all the necessary information on the home screen, making it easy to choose what to watch. For example, it lists file types, quality, and sources, eliminating the likelihood of getting a bad link.

However, Gaia is optimized for Debrid streaming services like Real Debrid and Premiumize. This means you must subscribe to the Debrid service to get started. Also, setting it up is a bit difficult, which is why the add-on is infamous. Nonetheless, once set up, you can access premium links to stream content in 4K quality.

---

• Repository name: Diamond Wizard
• Source URL: https://ezzer-mac.com/repo/
• Available countries: The US

Tubi is a popular free video-on-demand streaming website with a library of more than 50,000 movies and TV show titles. Unfortunately, like other popular services such as Netflix and Disney Plus, Tubi doesn’t have an official Kodi addon.

Nonetheless, you can use a third-party Tubi addon available on the Diamond Wizard Repository, a highly trusted repo in the Kodi community. Luckily, the addon does not show any ads during streaming.

Unless you want to watch R or M-rated content, creating a Tubi account is unnecessary to get started on Kodi. However, you’ll need to use a VPN (we recommend ExpressVPN) if you want to stream Tubi outside the US.

---

Luxray Video

• Repository name: Stream Digital Repository
• Source URL: http://sdwteam.com/wiz/
• Available countries: Worldwide

Luxray is a trendy addon in the Kodi community. It is elementary to navigate and use with the content sorted into categories such as TV shows, movies, crime, superheroes, animations, etc. In addition, the streaming speed is superb; we can watch Rick and Morty buffer-free.

The standard collection on the addon may be limited to your liking. However, you can get more content if you connect it to a Real Debrid account. The problem is that Luxray contains some torrenting links, so protecting your connections with a reliable VPN is advisable.

• Available countries: Worldwide

Cypher Media is an all-around Kodi extension containing numerous movies and TV shows. It also gives you access to IPTV, anime, and TV Calendar to stream the latest shows, such as The Tonight Show.

• Available countries: Worldwide

Seren is a popular premium Kodi add-on that works only with Real Derbid. It is well known for providing seamless and high-quality streaming.

It also has advanced features such as automatic episode playing and autoplay, making it a viable option for non-stop streaming. With its exciting features, Seren has become a top-notch choice for Kodi users.

Seren also supports a popular service called Trakt, which lets you track and synchronize your watchlist across devices. By linking with Trakt, Seren lets you personalize your recommendations based on your watchlist.

However, legality is the main issue when considering add-ons like Seren, as they can be shut down sooner or later. Copyright holders have aggressively chased Kodi developers in recent years, and they regularly remove their add-ons to avoid legal troubles. Seren may work (and be safe to use) for some time after you install it, but there is no guarantee it’ll do so for long.

How you can protect yourself while using Kodi extensions

The best way to protect yourself when using Kodi and installing its add-ons is to use a quality VPN. It encrypts your traffic and routes it through a remote server to give you anonymity. Also, it masks your IP address, making it difficult for third-party users to track your online activities. Apart from using a VPN, here are other methods to guard yourself while using Kodi add-ons.

• Using a dedicated device: A dedicated device like Firestick protects your main device and sensitive data in case something goes awry with a Kodi addon.
• Stay informed: Join Kodi communities to get the latest information about Kodi and receive updates about Kodi add-on security and privacy issues.
• Stick to well-known builds: New builds may have some untested addons or configurations that could pose security risks. Therefore, it would be wise to only stick with builds that have a reputation for being trustworthy.
• Run Kodi in a sandbox environment. If you isolate Kodi’s execution environment from your operating system, you have controlled the damage of potential malware from Kodi.
• Disable unknown sources when you don’t need them. This eliminates the probability of installing unverified add-ons from unofficial repositories.
• Keep Kodi and addons updated: Keeping Kodi and addons updated fixes vulnerabilities and bugs that can compromise your security or privacy. 
• Avoid pirated content: Streaming copyrighted content is illegal. Also, some add-ons that stream copyrighted content may infect your device with malware.
• Use official addons only: The Kodi repository contains official addons that are tested and vetted.

Do you need a VPN for Kodi Must today?

It is recommended that you use a VPN when downloading Kodi extensions. Some add-ons have malicious codes that can install malware and even steal your information.

Although VPNs cannot prevent viruses, they employ advanced security features to secure internet traffic and data. Some services also have ad blockers that also stop malware.

However, not all VPNs work with Kodi, and finding the right one is a big challenge. So, after rigorous research and testing, we have compiled a list of the best Kodi VPNs to help you get exemplary service quickly. But if you want a quick recommendation, we briefly review our top recommendation for Kodi, NordVPN, below.

NordVPN

NordVPN has dedicated apps for Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, and other platforms.

Why aren’t my Kodi add-ons working?

Most add-ons available on Kodi are generated by informal developers, so they aren’t always up-to-date and malware-free. We have tested all the add-ons listed above and found them working perfectly. However, some Kodi extensions clash with each other sometimes, like after updates.

So, below, we list some common addon issues and how to solve them.

Prevent addons from buffering or freezing on Kodi

Buffering and freezing problems are caused mainly by addon conflicts. Is it a new add-on, or has it been updated recently? If you cannot recognize the issue, disable your hardware acceleration. Here is how to do it:

• First, click the gear icon on your home screen.
• Go to ‘Player Settings.’
• Click ‘Basic‘ three times to change it to ‘Expert.’
• Next, choose the ‘Video‘ tab.
• Deactivate ‘Allow hardware acceleration VTBDecoder.’

Sometimes, if the problem persists, you need to reinstall a Kodi addon. Although this may seem drastic, it’ll ensure you use the latest addon version and probably end the freezing issue.

Prevent the ‘Failed to install a dependency’ error message

Many add-ons depend on other files and programs to function correctly. Usually, these are shown when downloading the addon and will install automatically. However, an error may sometimes arise, so here is an easy fix.

First, clear the Kodi cache to troubleshoot the error. The simplest way to do this is to use the Indigo add-on.

Use the following steps to clear your cache:

• Install the Fusion repository from https://fusion.tvaddons.co/.
• Download the Indigo addon.
• Open the Indigo add-on.
• Tap on ‘Maintenance Tools.’
• Click ‘Clear Cache‘ and confirm.

Solve the ‘Unable to Connect’ error message when adding sources

This error usually occurs when the repository isn’t working or has shut down. However, you can try the following troubleshooting tips before you give up on the addon:

• Double-check whether you have input the repository URL correctly.
• Confirm if your internet is working properly.
• Use a reliable VPN to prevent your ISP from blocking your connections. It will allow you to access the content you want risk-free. NordVPN is an excellent choice as it has high-quality security features to keep you safe alongside excellent unblocking capabilities.
• Find an alternative link to the repository or check if the addon is featured in a different repository.

Fix the ‘Check log for more information’ error message

The easiest way to check your log is using the Kodi addon log viewer from the official Kodi repository. View your Kodi log by using the following steps:

• Click ‘Add-ons‘ from Kodi’s home screen.
• On the sidebar, tap on the open box icon.
• Click ‘Install from repository.’
• Select the ‘Kodi Add-on repository.’
• Click ‘Program Add-on.’
• Tap on ‘Log viewer for Kodi’ and click ‘Install.’
• Navigate to the addon in the ‘Program add-ons‘ category.
• Read the log file and follow the guidelines to solve the error.
• Try to clear your cache if the log doesn’t have clear directions.

Even after trying the above instructions, you may still get technical difficulties with your IP address if you still get the error message. So, in that case, the best solution is to use a VPN to change your IP address.

Keeping up with Kodi add-ons

Good things in the Kodi community are yet to come. Nonetheless, after several rough years because of the third-party add-ons, the official Kodi is back as an excellent choice software for playing media. So, try to visit Kodi’s official changelog page frequently to stay updated on the latest changes and improvements to the current version.

Is it legal and safe to use Kodi addons?

Kodi add-ons operate in a gray area regarding legal and safety matters. It is legal to download and use Kodi add-ons, but some of them are not safe. Also, using some unofficial Kodi extensions to stream pirated content is illegal. So, to keep yourself safe, scrutinize all the add-ons to ensure they are not streaming copyrighted titles.

Besides, some repositories and add-ons may contain malicious content like trackers and malware, which can damage your device or compromise your privacy. Other Kodi add-ons are often throttled by your ISP, which could lead to poor-quality streaming. Without any protection, your IP address and Kodi activity are visible to third parties and your ISP, which risks your privacy.
