How To Use The Crew Kodi Add-on

The Crew, like almost all add-ons, will have video sections for movies and TV shows.

Kodi add-ons don’t host any content and simply search the internet for website links for videos the same as Google.

After a video is selected to watch, The Crew will take 10-30 seconds to find the best links available.

Once it finds the best links it will display them in a long list.

To start the video click the first link and The Crew will automatically go through them until one starts playing.

Once a stream starts if it buffers, or has an issue, stop it from playing and click farther down the list of links until a good one is found.

Sometimes a good link will be found quickly while other times it will be harder to find and require a bit of patience.

Kodi Frequently Asked Questions

Why Don’t I see The Crew in Kodi?
The Crew is located in its own repository, as 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.

Every repository will have a unique URL that will need to be typed in to install it.

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/links 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 add-ons will automatically try to go through the list of links but sometimes stop.

For example, if an add-on stops on link 7, restart at link 8.

What Is a VPN and is it Needed?

A VPN provides privacy and security while being online.

Entities such as an internet service providers or unscrupulous persons will only see encrypted data and not be able to track what is being done.

This gives a user anonymity as well as privacy while online.

A VPN is not necessary to use Kodi but can hide all online activities which has become very desirable.

It can also help bypass any blocking an ISP (Internet Server Provider) may be doing.

Two popular Kodi friendly options are NordVPN and Express VPN with both having multiple high speed servers with no throttling or logs.
