With the many good Kodi repositories, it can be hard to choose one, and most often, multiple Repos are installed.
There are many users new to Kodi who often ask, What is the best Kodi repository?
The current best Kodi repository for May 2023 is the Crew Repo which has many of the top addons.
What is Kodi, and What is an Addon?
Kodi is a free media center that can play almost any type of media file, such as videos and music files.
It also has the ability to stream from online sources, making it a good media center for home videos or from online websites.
Originally called XBMC, it has evolved to become one of the most popular free home media center software available.
It is available on multiple platforms, including Windows and Android devices.
After Kodi is installed, the capabilities can be expanded by installing addons that can add many nice features.
The addons can add features such as streaming movies, TV shows, music, videos, and even games.
Addons are usually free and created as a hobby by an admin and will be available in a repository to download and install within Kodi.
There is no official addon, but the most popular and best working addons are listed above.
The main website does have an official Kodi addon repository which has many good plugins but is not the most popular.
There are many third-party Kodi addons and repositories with the list above the current best options.
Kodi addons can stop working and go down and give an error message.
For example, the popular Exodus Redux, which streams movies and tv shows, was one of the most popular addons, but it no longer works since the admin stopped maintaining it.
The addons will work with any device Kodi is installed on, such as Windows, Android, Fire TV Stick, and more.
Using an Android TV box or a Fire TV Stick is a popular method for Kodi.
Types of Kodi Streaming Addons
Currently, there are three main types of streaming addons Torrent, Real Debrid, and Free Link addons.
The categories include movies and TV shows, sports, IPTV, and live tv.
Torrent addons pull in Torrent Links which is only recommended for advanced users.
Real Debrid addons pull in links from a paid Real Debrid account.
Free link add-ons pull in links that are freely available on the internet.
This page list Kodi addons that have the best free links unless otherwise listed.
If you have a favorite Kodi addon that works well, let us know in the comments below.
How To Install a Kodi Addon
The first step is to install Kodi onto a device with downloads available for Android TV boxes, smartphones, Fire TV Stick, Windows, and more.
Once the Kodi installation is complete, an addon can be installed with no single addon installer source.
Installing addons may seem confusing to a new user, but basically, the URL of a repository needs to be added to Kodi.
Once the repository URL is known, the installation guides above show how to install Kodi addons step by step.
The URLs are listed for each addon in the guides above. Instructions for adding an addon into Kodi are also above, along with screenshots if needed.
Kodi addon installation is not difficult once it is understood after it is done a few times.
Many users also recommend installing and using a VPN for Kodi for security and privacy.
