6 BEST PLUGINS FOR YOUR KODI MEDIA PLAYER

Kodi is a powerful media platform for enjoying content on the same device the
files are stored on. It's perfect for home theatre PCs and is more local than
Plex or Jellyfin. Even though you will be rendering TV shows, music, and movies
locally, you can still expand the functionality of Kodi through the installation
of plugins. I'm going to run you through some of our favorites that work today
and how to install them.



Although installing a Kodi plugin will not land you in hot water with the law,
content available through certain add-ons may not be legal in your country. We
recommend caution when accessing movies, shows, and other media using such
sources.

KODI



Kodi isn't really a media server as such, but it's a great way to access video
files stored on your network. Thanks to plugins, too, you can use it with Plex,
Jellyfin, or Emby.

1 SAMSUNG TV PLUS

Samsung TV Plus is an international liver TV plugin for Kodi. It's one of the
few add-ons available that lets you stream live TV from networks in supported
markets. Supporting Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, India,
Italy, Korea, Spain, Switzerland, and the U.S., you can bookmark and enjoy all
your favorite media with this plugin. Channels (or streams) are sorted by
country, making it easier to locate the ones you wish to view.

2 SCRUBS

If you're unfamiliar with Scrubs, it's a fork of the Exodus add-on and allows
access to thousands of movies and TV shows. It doesn't host any content and
merely acts as an aggregator, providing access to various sources without
needing to navigate different websites and other properties. It may not be legal
(or reliable) in many markets but Scrubs remains one of the more popular plugins
for Kodi for those wanting to enjoy free content.

3 ESPN

An unofficial ESPN plugin is available for Kodi, which allows one to log into
their ESPN+ account and stream sports to the big screen. Although you may have
access to the official app on your TV, having it in the same place as all your
other media is a great way to maintain a consistent experience.

Repository: https://slyguy.uk/




4 THE CREW

Like Scrubs, XDA cannot verify the legality of sources available through these
add-ons and we urge caution if you plan on using them. The Crew is a media
streaming aggregator that pools multiple sources to provide more convenient
access to thousands of shows and movies. It also works with some paid hosting
services such as Real Debrid.

5 YOUTUBE

Do you enjoy a lot of YouTube and want to view all your favorite channels
through Kodi? It's possible with this unofficial plugin! You will need to
configure an API key but you're good to go once up and running.

Repository: https://download.osmc.tv/dev/anxdpanic/repositories/




6 SHAZAM

Not to be confused with the official music tagging service, the Shazam Kodi
add-on is yet another video streaming aggregator. You'll find plenty of sources
for gaining access to various titles through Shazam and it can even be
configured with Trakt to keep tabs on what you've enjoyed and recommend new
media.

HOW TO INSTALL KODI PLUGINS

Before installing any plugins, configure Kodi to accept unofficial add-ons:

 1. Fire up your Kodi installation.
 2. Click the system settings icon.
 3. Click on System.
 4. Click on Add-ons.

plugin:

 3. Click <None>.
 4. Enter the plugin repository URL.
 5. Give the repository a name.


 6.  Click OK.
 7.  Return to system settings.
 8.  Click on Add-ons.
 9.  Click on the add-on installer icon.
 10. Choose Install from zip file.


 11. Click Yes.
 12. Select the repository.
 13. Choose Install from repository.
 14. Select the repository.
 15. Select the add-on.
 16. Click Install.

   Thanks for the steps. I've followed them and installed the repos but once
   done how do I access the repos? I click on add ons but can't see any content.
   I can see the add ons are installed but can't access any content
