Kodi Frequently Asked Questions
Why Don’t I see Incursion?
Incursion is located in it own repository, a long the repository is installed into Kodi it will show up when enabled.
To see which repositories you have installed go to Install From Repository . All the installed Repositories will be shown.
Clicking on a repository will also show the add-ons it contains.
Why Don’t I see the Add-on I am looking for?
Each add-on will be located in its own repository, so adding the repository it is in will be necessary.
For example the popular Neptune Rising addon is located in the Blamo Repository.
Click here for instructions for how to install Neptune Rising.
When I click a link to a TV show or movie the link doesn’t work or buffers.
This does happen and the more popular Kodi becomes the more the servers/sources can at times become overwhelmed.
This is the reason many sources will come up on a list. If one source link does not work go to the next link. If it starts to buffer stop the video and move on to another link.
Most often a good source can be found within 2-3 links depending on the time of day.
Most addons will automatically try to go through the list of links but sometimes stop.
For example if an addon stops on link 7, restart at link 8.
Thank you, your step by step was so helpful!
Thank u that was easy
When i click on the add ons to install covenant. It is empty. There is no xvbmc showing inside the xvbmc folder
I have a problem with my kodi box(mxq pro) repeatedly giving me a black screen when clicking on tabs, after I install addons even from the kodi repository. When I add them, I can add a few but then I’ll do one and the screen constantly goes black when I click on a tab/option. With the screen being black I can’t see where to click to delete recently installed addons. This leads to me having to delete and reinstall kodi, before my deleting I clear cache, clear data then uninstall. When I reinstall kodi and try to reinstall the addons I add them in a different order so it isn’t a particular addon only for the same thing to happen. I have had to make do with only one addon as I’m scared if I try anymore it will mess up again

I ended up just downloading the ZIP via Web Browser (PC), and found it on my C drive. If you have a Firestick, you can ADB push the ZIP to the filesystem, let me know if you need help, Cheers!
I have tried following these steps numerous times and for some reason, i cannot download covenant. every time that i try to download it i get a msg that says “failed to install a dependency” not sure what that means, but i have tried several times and have been at this for about an hour now. I’m not really sure what to do from here. lol So i could use some help as to what i can do to fix this or if there is another thing that you would recommend that works as well as covenant and where i might find the instructions on how to install that and everything. Thanks in advance.
