This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough on installing the Duckpool repository on Kodi 17 Krypton. Please note: Kodi 17 Krypton is an outdated version, and many repositories, including Duckpool, are no longer actively maintained or compatible. Using outdated software can expose you to security risks. It is strongly recommended to upgrade to a supported Kodi version. However, if you must use Kodi 17 Krypton for specific reasons and understand the risks, proceed with caution. This process involves enabling unknown sources, which can be a security risk if not managed correctly.

Before You Begin

Before installing any third-party repository, it's crucial to understand the implications:

• Security Risks: Installing add-ons from unofficial sources exposes your system to potential malware and security vulnerabilities. Proceed at your own risk.
• Legal Compliance: Ensure all content you access through Kodi and its add-ons is legally permissible in your region. Unauthorized streaming of copyrighted material is illegal.
• Outdated Software: Kodi 17 Krypton is no longer supported. Many add-ons may not function correctly or may contain security flaws.

Installing the Duckpool Repository (Kodi 17 Krypton)

The following steps outline the installation process. Because of the age of Kodi 17 Krypton, finding a working source for the Duckpool repository may be extremely difficult or impossible. This guide is provided for informational purposes only, and success is not guaranteed.

1. Enable Unknown Sources: Navigate to Settings (the cog icon) > System Settings > Add-ons > Turn on Unknown sources. A warning message will appear; acknowledge and accept the risk.

2. Add the Source: Go to Settings > File Manager > Add source. You will need a URL for the Duckpool repository. Unfortunately, this URL is no longer reliably available due to the age of the repository and Kodi version. Many previously published URLs are now defunct. If you have a valid, working URL from a trusted source, enter it here and click OK. Name the source something memorable (e.g., "Duckpool").

3. Install from Zip File: Go back to the main Kodi screen. Select Add-ons > Install from zip file. Select the source you just added (e.g., "Duckpool"). Locate and select the Duckpool zip file. Kodi will begin the installation process.

4. Install from Repository: Once the zip file is installed, go to Add-ons > Install from repository. Select the Duckpool repository from the list. Choose the video add-ons section. Find the add-ons you want to install and click on them to install them individually.

Important Considerations:

• Finding a Working URL: The biggest hurdle is finding a currently functioning URL for the Duckpool repository. Due to the age of Kodi 17 Krypton and lack of updates, most links will be outdated.
• Repository Updates: Even if you find a working URL, the repository itself is likely not updated, meaning add-ons within may be broken or contain security vulnerabilities.

This installation process is based on general Kodi procedures. Specific menu names and locations might vary slightly depending on your Kodi skin.

This guide is for informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as an endorsement of using outdated software or unofficial repositories. We strongly encourage upgrading to a supported Kodi version for a safer and more reliable experience.
