2 min read 09-12-2024

Kodi, a popular open-source media player, offers extensive functionality through its add-ons. One such add-on, TV App, provides access to a wide variety of streaming content. However, it's crucial to understand that the legality of accessing copyrighted material through Kodi add-ons depends heavily on the content and your region. Always ensure you are only accessing content legally available to you. This guide focuses solely on the technical installation process; we do not endorse any illegal activity.

Prerequisites

Before beginning, ensure you have:

A Kodi installation: Download and install Kodi from the official website. Using an unofficial source can expose your system to malware.
An active internet connection: A stable connection is essential for downloading and streaming content.
Understanding of potential risks: Using third-party add-ons carries inherent risks, including potential malware or unstable performance. Proceed with caution.

Installing TV App Addon

The installation process involves enabling unknown sources within Kodi and then installing the add-on from a third-party repository. Proceed with extreme caution and only from reputable sources to minimize risks.

Step 1: Enabling Unknown Sources

Open Kodi.
Navigate to Settings (usually a gear icon).
Select System settings.
Choose Add-ons.
Toggle the Unknown sources option to ON. A warning message may appear; acknowledge it carefully.

Step 2: Adding the Repository

Go back to the main Kodi menu.
Select Settings > File Manager.
Choose Add source.
Click <None>.
Enter the repository URL provided by a trusted source (Note: We cannot provide specific URLs due to the constantly shifting nature of these repositories and the potential for malicious links). Double-check the URL for accuracy before proceeding.
Give the source a name (e.g., "TV App Repo"). Keep it simple and memorable.
Click OK.

Step 3: Installing the Addon

Go back to the main Kodi menu.
Select Add-ons.
Click the Package installer icon (it looks like an open box).
Choose Install from zip file.
Select the source you just added (e.g., "TV App Repo").
Navigate to the zip file containing the TV App repository. This file name will vary depending on the source.
Wait for the notification that the repository has been installed.
Select Install from repository.
Choose the TV App repository you just added.
Select Video add-ons.
Find "TV App" in the list and select it.
Click Install.

Step 4: Launching TV App

Once the installation is complete, you'll find TV App listed under your video add-ons in Kodi. Launch it and explore the available content. Remember to be mindful of the legal implications of streaming copyrighted material.
