Kodi 17 Krypton is an older version, and while some add-ons might still function, many are no longer supported. Installing add-ons on older Kodi versions carries a higher risk of encountering compatibility issues and security vulnerabilities. It is strongly recommended to upgrade to a more recent, supported version of Kodi for optimal performance and security.

However, if you wish to proceed with installing Stream Hub on Kodi 17 Krypton despite these risks, understand that this process may not work or may be unstable. Proceed at your own risk. The instructions below are provided for informational purposes only. I cannot guarantee the functionality or safety of this method.

Understanding the Risks

Before proceeding, it is crucial to acknowledge the risks associated with using third-party add-ons like Stream Hub on older Kodi versions:

• Compatibility Issues: Stream Hub may not be compatible with Kodi 17 Krypton's outdated architecture. This can lead to crashes, malfunctions, or complete failure of the add-on.
• Security Vulnerabilities: Older Kodi versions often lack security updates that address vulnerabilities exploited by malicious add-ons. Installing Stream Hub on Krypton increases your risk of malware infection or data breaches.
• Legal Concerns: Streaming copyrighted content without proper authorization is illegal in many jurisdictions. Always respect copyright laws and only access content you have the right to view.

Attempting Installation (Proceed with Caution!)

Given the inherent risks, the steps to install Stream Hub on Kodi 17 Krypton are provided below. I cannot guarantee success. You will need to find a reliable source for the Stream Hub repository. Downloading from untrusted sources significantly increases your risk of malware.

1. Enable Unknown Sources: Navigate to Kodi's System settings, then System, then Add-ons. Turn on the "Unknown Sources" option. This is necessary to install add-ons from outside the official Kodi repository.

2. Add the Repository: This is where the process becomes highly dependent on the specific repository URL provided by the Stream Hub developers or trusted community sources. You will need to manually add the repository's URL through Kodi's file manager. Remember, using an untrusted repository is incredibly risky.

3. Install Stream Hub: Once the repository is added, navigate to Add-ons, then Install from zip file, then locate and select the Stream Hub zip file within the repository. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

4. Troubleshooting: If the add-on fails to install or function correctly, it's likely due to incompatibility.
