Setting up Kodi with Real-Debrid

Installing Kodi

This is entirely dependent on your platform:

Installing on a Fire Stick

A common, and cheap smart TV stick which converts any TV into a smart TV.

Kodi is not natively available through app store but it is quite easy to install.

Firstly, go into the Fire Stick appstore and download the Downloader app.

Next, go to your Fire Stick settings. Then under My Fire TV, go to the About section, here at the top of this list should be the name of your device. Quickly tap this selection until you receive a notification on the bottom that says “No need, you are already a developer.”

Now, go back to the My Fire TV section and go to Developer options. Here you want to click Install unknown apps and enable it for Downloader.

Now, open Downloader, and in the URL search bar, type https://kodi.tv/download/android/, and you want to download the ARMV7A (32BIT) option. Allow this to install through any popups that come.

Setting up Kodi for Real Debrid

Some General Purpose Settings

In Settings > Player > Language, set Preferred audio language to english. This will make any played audio choose english over any other languages it may support.

In Settings > Interface > Regional, set Language to english.

Add-ons

In Settings > File manager, we’re going to add some sources here.

Click add source, with the link of the following, make sure to set a name for the source if one isn’t autofilled:

After you add these sources, go to Settings > Add-ons > Install from zip file.

Under each of the sources you added before, choose that source and install the .zip file inside of that source.

Now go to Settings > Add-ons > Install from repository

And install the following:

Umbrella Repository > Video add-ons > Fen Light
CocoScrapers Repository > Program add-ons > CocoScrapers Module
ivarbrandt’s Repository > Look and feel > FENtastic (optional)

Setting up Fen Light

Go to Settings > Add-ons > My add-ons > Video add-ons > Fen Light > Open > Tools > Settings

Here is where we can configure how the media you’re going to be watching is handled, setup some player settings, connect Real Debrid, etc.

Under Playback, you can setup auto play for movies, and episodes. This will automatically select the best source and connect it for you. You can limit the source quality so that it doesn’t automatically select a low quality, or too high quality.

In the episodes, if you don’t want autoplay, you can enable autoscrape, which will automatically search the best sources for the next episode before the current one has finished. This will make it quicker when changing episodes. Personally, I just enable autoplay as Real Debrid has consistently good sources.

In Results, you can disable things that will show up in the search results, i HIGHLY recommend excluding Pre-release results, 3D Files, HDR files and Dolby Vision files, as these can often have trouble playing on your platform, or will have strange / bad qualities. As well, you can set the highest quality, adjust this according to what your platform can handle.

In accounts you need to do two things, scroll down to External Scrapers, here you want to enable it, and choose an external scraper module, set this to CocoScrapers Module (the add-on we installed earlier).

Next, scroll to Real Debrid. Enable and this will give you a code you can enter here which will link it to your Real Debrid account. (You must have a paid real debrid account.)

That’s it!

If you wanted to setup a custom look, the optional link i provided earlier has a skin that is custom designed for Fen Light, but otherwsie feel free to look around for what ever suits you the best.

Setting up FENtastic

If you installed FENtastic it should’ve automatically enabled it, if it hasn’t, go to Settings > Interface > Skin, and set the skin to FENtastic.

Now go to Settings > Skin settings > Main menu items

First, click Remake menus and widgets, then under Movies and TV Shows, use the Set main menu path to set where these widgets should link to, (Fen Light > Movies / TV Shows > Use as path).

Feel free to disable all of the other widgets, as most of these will most likely remain unused. You can use the customs to setup a specific section in FEN Light (or any other add-on you have).

I would recommend enabling the favourite section all the way at the bottom (on a piece of media you may long press, and at the bottom of that context menu it will allow you to favourite it).

Finally, in Settings > Skin Settings > Search, make sure you set the search provider to FEN Light. This will allow the search button to search directly through fen light for sources, otherwise it won’t work.
