The number one reason to install a Kodi build is to save time. Without installing a build, users will spend hours dealing with individual add-ons and hope to find quality streams.
Users can also integrate services with builds such as Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, Premiumize, and Trakt for improved streaming quality. Real-Debrid is a premium service that costs under $5 per month and provides high-quality streaming links for better playback.
Our reviews team at TROYPOINT ranked the best builds based on popularity, categories, content library, add-on quality, repository/wizard, integrations, size, speed, user interface, and feedback from streaming forums like Reddit.
Using the Debrid version requires a debrid service (Real-Debrid for example) to stream content while Free does not require a debrid service. A debrid service will populate higher-quality streaming links but does come with an additional expense.
That is because Burst scrapes torrent providers to bring in high-quality link options that are partially downloaded before playback. Because torrent files download a portion of the file, your IP Address is made available to the public which can be extremely dangerous unless you are using a trustworthy VPN.
Aspire is a build praised by many in the Kodi community for its sleek design and high performance. This is a great choice for those who value both style and functionality when deciding which build to install.
It is located in the Chains Repository that has always been at the top of repo choices for builds, addons, and more. Using Xontrix is extremely easy as the home screen provides content choices as well as various addon choices if you prefer to search this way.
Nova TV is a build tailored for TV enthusiasts with thousands of on-demand titles and live channels. The developers of Nova TV did a great job of selecting add-ons dedicated to TV series, live TV, and documentaries.
In terms of design, the user-interface of Nova TV is clean, organized, and simple for finding your favorite content. The developers behind Nova TV also have a proven track record of creating high-quality builds.
The Beast is back! This is one of the most well-known builds of all time and it is now compatible with Kodi 21 Omega. Previously this option only worked with older versions of the Kodi software such as 18 Leia and 17 Krypton.
Plutonium is an excellent build for streaming video on-demand (VOD) content with its packed library of movies and TV series. Unfortunately, Plutonium does not offer live channels and we suggest using a different build on this list for live TV streaming.
The Xlite build also provides the essential integrations for Real-Debrid, Trakt, etc. to enhance your streaming experience. Ultimately, Xlite is a great choice for those who need a basic, yet functional option that runs smoothly on any compatible device.
The Green Monster build displays an impressive user-interface while providing top-notch video add-ons like The Crew. This selection is versatile, lightweight, offers a variety of categories, and is frequently updated by the developers.
It has been around for several years and also works on the previous version of Kodi. Whether you want to stream movies, TV shows, or live channels, Green Monster is a quality build for any cord-cutter!
As implied in the name of this build, Simplex is easy to navigate and is small enough to function on nearly any Kodi device you prefer. Both real-debrid users and those who do not have a resolving service will find streaming options in high definition.
You will also notice the 4K Section that is not provided with other builds in this list that only serve up films in UHD. Besides the VOD options are also live channels categorized by location and genre for all-encompassing streaming.
Both Kodi 21 and Kodi 20 Nexus are compatible with Franks and it works perfectly on either version. Content is provided in a sleek interface that makes browsing for Movies, Shows, and Live TV extremely simple.
It offers reliable streaming options for football, basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey, wrestling, MMA, racing, tennis, and more! In addition to live sports, Game On also provides replays, highlights, and talk shows so you can stay updated on any sport.
Builds typically feature various categories to choose from for streaming content on any device. This often includes options for movies, TV shows, music, podcasts, weather, and tons of information all in one location.
A Kodi build is a pre-configured version of Kodi filled with add-ons, custom skins, integrations, and other features. Think of a build as a pre-made package for Kodi designed to improve user experience while offering a more convenient way to access content.
Yes! Creating your own custom build is in fact the best way to use Kodi. This will allow you to use custom skins, widgets, add-ons, integrations, and other preferences you have. See our custom build tutorial for more details.
Kodi is compatible with a large range of devices and operating systems. This includes the Amazon Firestick, Fire TV, Android devices, Windows PC, Mac, Linux, and Raspberry Pi. You can visit their official website for a list of supported devices.
Awesome, thanks @MarkxG !! We need to go through many of these builds again and check everything. The main reason for posts like these is that we are connecting them to the Insider for our new commenting system. I appreciate the heads up and will get that changed. Thank you.
I downloaded the Superman build and I cannot get any movie to come on. I keep getting a message Real Debrid Autho. 0% open this link in a browser -Debrid.com/device then enter a code GBDP53Q on every stream. Need help as I did not want real debris. Are all of the streams real debrid?
diggz has a wiki link in zenon.you need to install things to make other things work.you also have to take the crew and a couple of other programs off 4k and change to 1080 for them to work on 4k tv.it is all in his wiki link on zenon.I dont see how superman beat zenon for no.1
I have tried to install 2 different Kodi builds, Superman and Diggz Xenon both get to the zip screen and neither will on zip, nothing happens. I am sure I am missing something. The firestick connects to the internet just fine. Can someone help, I am lost
My first thought is the firestick is not setup to allow install from unknown sources. This is developer options. Check the troypoint videos, there is atotorial on this and it is often mentioned near the beginning of many of his build install videos.
A little help please. Since Cinama APK is pretty much done, I have been trying to set up Kodi with the Crew build. I also have a Real Debrid account. Unfortunately, no matter what I do, all feeds in Kodi/The Crew do not play. Even the Paid feeds do not play. It is like they are not connecting. Any way to fix this issue. PLEASE HELP!!!
I should have mentioned I am using Fire TV stick 4K. V OS 6.2.8.9 (NS6279/3905) It has 2.45 GB free.
I also tried using Mouse Toggle to no avail. I could access the widgets by using Wechip remote, but since my wife is trying to learn to use the Firestick remote still, I would like to access Widgets using Firestick remote like I have in other builds.
Hi Troy, I have down loaded Kodi Misfit Mods Lite, but i am having trouble opening the the movie link. The movie comes up but will not play, an error message comes up. This happens with the sport link as well. Can you help me over come this problem Garry
Thank you for your very helpful posts and videos! I am not a tech person by a long stretch, but your instructions are so good I was able to first clear the data on Kodi, install an updated version 19.3, and install Diggz Xenon Build for my Android Box. I turned off my box last night, and now today, my original (not working too well) regular apps come up.
I clicked on Kodi, and Xenon Plus came up, so all good there, but what happens if I install another add-on, whether IPTV or anything else on your list of the best add-ons? Will a list or choice come up for me to choose which one I want, and will those be under Kodi? Right now, when I click on Kodi, Xenon Plus just comes up. If I install another add-on, will I be given a choice under Kodi?
I have been using the Diggz Xenon build for quite some time now and like it quite a bit. However, I am having a small issue with the Odin addon, an issue more annoying than anything else. I can install it from the Narcacist repository and I can move it to the favorites area and the Odin icon appears, but when I try to move it to Debrid Zone , the icon is non existent no matter where I have looked. Puzzling to say the least. I have deleted testures13.db and rebooted Kodi to see if it would repopulate and create the icon; needless to say unsuccessfully. By the way, I am using Kodi 19.4 Matrix in case it matters. Odin works great out of the Favorites by the way but I just want to move it and have an icon to accompany it. Anyone have any ideas?
I have a question dealing with Kodi it states in order to receive updates for the Bluetooth delay add on please install the new repo from MHR repo? Is this something I need to do I am a novice at best with Kodi
Along Nox Silvo is an excellent skin build. Bery modern look and feel with cool layout and features!! The only I noticed in Kodi 19.4, unrelated to this, is for some reason Kodi scans my entire flashdrive on startup, rather than just my TV shows folder and 2 randomly named empty files appear that I constantly have to remove from the library. They seem to be related to the Android and Lost.dir files on the flashdrive. Is there a way to avoid this? Where it will only scan my folder for tv shows?
Dear All,
I have been very unlucky with KODI so far.I have tried many installations of Kodi and several addons in the recent past, but the next day, the Add ons , builds etc.
My question is there any KODI fully loaded that i can buy and download direct to my media player.
Thanks for a positive reply.
