This guide provides instructions on how to install the XStream add-on on Kodi 17.1 Krypton. Please note: Kodi 17.1 Krypton is an outdated version, and many add-ons, including XStream, are no longer compatible or may no longer be updated. Using outdated software leaves your system vulnerable to security risks. We strongly recommend upgrading to a supported version of Kodi for optimal performance and security.

However, if you are committed to using Kodi 17.1 Krypton for specific reasons, and understand the inherent risks, here's a general guide. The specific steps might vary slightly depending on the exact XStream repository location, which changes frequently. This guide is for informational purposes only. We do not endorse the use of unofficial add-ons, which may contain copyrighted material. Proceed at your own risk.

Before You Begin

• Backup your Kodi profile: Before making any significant changes to your Kodi installation, it's crucial to back up your profile data to prevent data loss. This can usually be done through the Kodi settings.
• Understand the risks: Using unofficial add-ons involves risks, including the potential for malware, unstable performance, and access to copyrighted content. Proceed cautiously and at your own risk.
• Verify the Repository URL: Find a reliable and updated source for the XStream repository URL. Unverified URLs can lead to malicious software. Many previously reliable sources for this add-on are no longer functional.

Installation Steps (General Outline)

These steps provide a general outline. The exact repository name and location may differ, and the add-on may no longer be available.

1. Enable Unknown Sources: In Kodi 17.1 Krypton, navigate to Settings > System Settings > Add-ons > Unknown sources. Enable this setting. This is necessary to install add-ons from outside the official Kodi repository.
2. Add the Repository: Go to System > File manager > Add source. Enter the exact URL of the XStream repository (you must find a currently valid URL from a trusted source). Give it a name (e.g., "XStream Repo").
3. Install from Zip File: Go to System > Add-ons > Install from zip file. Select the repository you just added. Locate and select the appropriate zip file containing the XStream repository.
4. Install from Repository: After the repository is installed, go to System > Add-ons > Install from repository. Select the XStream repository and then navigate to the video add-ons section. Find the XStream add-on and install it.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter problems, double-check the repository URL, ensure Unknown Sources is enabled, and verify you are following the steps accurately. Remember that many factors can affect the installation process, including outdated software and unreliable repositories.
