How to Install the Exodus Add-On for Kodi Media Player on Any Device

Key takeaways:

  • Exodus is a popular but unofficial add-on for Kodi that provides access to a large library of movies and TV shows
  • Installing Exodus requires allowing installation from unknown sources and adding a custom file source in Kodi
  • Exodus is not entirely legal or safe to use, so it’s important to use a VPN and be aware of the risks

Exodus has been one of the most popular add-ons for the Kodi media player, offering users an extensive library of on-demand movies and TV shows. However, installing Exodus isn’t as straightforward as using the official Kodi add-on repository. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of installing Exodus on Kodi step-by-step.

Before You Begin

It’s important to note that Exodus is a third-party add-on that is not officially supported by Kodi. Using Exodus to stream copyrighted content without permission is illegal in most countries. Additionally, unofficial add-ons like Exodus can pose security risks, as they may contain malware or be hijacked to spy on users.

To protect your privacy and security when using Exodus or any other Kodi add-on, we highly recommend connecting to a reputable VPN service. A VPN encrypts your internet traffic, hiding your streaming activity from your ISP and protecting you from potential legal issues and security threats.

Step 1: Allow Unknown Sources

Before installing Exodus, you need to configure Kodi to allow installations from unknown sources. Here’s how:

  1. Open Kodi and click the gear icon to access Settings
  2. Go to System > Add-ons
  3. Toggle on the “Unknown sources” option
  4. Click “Yes” to confirm when prompted

Step 2: Add the Exodus File Source

The next step is to add the source file for the Exodus repository to Kodi. Follow these steps:

  1. From the Kodi home screen, click the gear icon to access Settings
  2. Click “File manager”
  3. Double-click “Add source”
  4. In the box that says “”, enter the following URL exactly: https://i-a-c.github.io/
  5. Click “OK”
  6. Enter a name for the media source, such as “Exodus Redux”
  7. Click “OK” to add the source

Step 3: Install the Exodus Repository

Now that you’ve added the source for Exodus, you can install the repository:

  1. Return to the Kodi home screen and click “Add-ons”
  2. Click the open box icon at the top left
  3. Select “Install from zip file”
  4. Click the media source you added in Step 2 (e.g. “Exodus Redux”)
  5. Click the zip file named repository.exodusredux-0.0.8.zip
  6. Wait for the “Exodus Redux Repo Add-on installed” notification

Step 4: Install the Exodus Add-On

With the Exodus repository installed, you can now install the Exodus add-on:

  1. From the same menu, select “Install from repository”
  2. Click “Exodus Redux Repo”
  3. Go to “Video add-ons”
  4. Select “Exodus Redux”
  5. Click “Install”
  6. Click “OK” to confirm the additional add-ons
  7. Wait for the “Exodus Redux Add-on installed” notification

That’s it! You can now access Exodus from the Kodi home screen by going to Add-ons > Video add-ons. Keep in mind that some content in Exodus may not be properly licensed, so use it at your own risk and always with a VPN connection.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter issues while using Exodus, here are a few troubleshooting tips:

  • Clear cache and providers: If you get a “No stream available” error, try clearing Exodus’ cache and providers from the Tools menu in the add-on settings.
  • Adjust provider timeout: Increasing the provider timeout setting in Exodus can help if streams take too long to load.
  • Update Exodus: Ensure you have the latest version of Exodus installed, as the add-on receives frequent updates to fix bugs and compatibility issues.
  • Restart Kodi: If Exodus or Kodi freezes, force quit Kodi and restart it. You may need to unplug your device or clear Kodi’s cache files if issues persist.

FAQ

Is Exodus legal and safe to use?

Exodus provides access to a lot of unlicensed content, so using it may be illegal depending on your country’s copyright laws. Unofficial add-ons like Exodus can also put your privacy and security at risk. Always use a trustworthy VPN and antivirus software when streaming with Kodi.

What are some alternatives to Exodus?

There are several other popular Kodi add-ons that offer similar features to Exodus, such as:

  • The Crew
  • Venom
  • Seren
  • Gaia
  • Numbers

However, these add-ons come with the same legal and security disclaimers as Exodus. For a safer Kodi experience, stick to official add-ons from the Kodi repository.

Can I use a free VPN with Exodus?

While there are many free VPN services available, we advise against using them with Kodi. Free VPNs tend to have slower speeds, data caps, and fewer server options than paid VPNs. They also may log your activity and sell your data to third parties. For the best streaming performance and privacy protection, use a reputable paid VPN service.
