Before proceeding, it's crucial to understand the legal implications of streaming copyrighted content without proper authorization. Accessing copyrighted material illegally can lead to significant penalties. This guide is for educational purposes only and does not endorse or condone illegal activities.

3. System Settings: Select "System" in the settings menu.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during the installation process, carefully review each step and ensure the URLs are entered correctly. Check for updates to the repository or the add-on itself.
