In this tutorial, I will guide you through the detailed and simple process of installing Exodus Redux and Exodus v8 Kodi Addons. This addon works only on Kodi 18 and lower versions. It is not available on Kodi 19 and higher. The methods outlined here work on Amazon FireStick / Fire TV/ Fire TV Cube, New FireStick 4K, New FireStick 4K Max, Android & iOS Mobile Devices, Windows & Mac Computers, Android TV & Boxes, and all other hardware and software platforms on which Kodi is supported.
Exodus Redux and Exodus V8 are two separate but quite similar addons.
Update: The Exodus V8 Add-on is not working, as the Kodi Bae repository is down. The Exodus Redux add-on may also show the “Could not connect to Repository” error. If you can’t install the add-ons, please try other working add-ons from our list of best Kodi Add-Ons.
Exodus Redux is a newer Kodi addon that gives you access to many movies and shows. It looks like the very popular Exodus Kodi addon (also called V8) and even has the same logo. But after having used both, I have drawn some comparisons and believe Exodus Redux is better than the Exodus addon.
The original Kodi Exodus addon was abandoned by its developers. However, it was revived by independent developers a few months ago and has started receiving regular updates. It also features a new set of scrapers, pulling tons of quality streaming links.
In this guide, I will cover the installation process of Redux and V8.
Here is what you will find in this guide:
- The primary method to install Exodus Redux
- An alternate method to install Exodus Redux using Git Browser
- Steps to install Kodi Exodus 8 addon (does not work at this time)
Attention, Kodi Users!
Kodi Addons and builds offer unlimited streaming content, but could also get you into legal trouble if caught streaming free movies, TV shows, or sports. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. Kodi users are strongly advised to always connect to a VPN while streaming online. A good Kodi VPN hides your identity, bypasses government surveillance, geo-blocked content, and ISP throttling (which also helps in buffer-free streaming).
I personally use ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is very easy to install on any device including Amazon FireStick. You get 3 months free and save 49% on its annual plans. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied, you can always ask for a refund.

How to Install Exodus Redux on Kodi
I will break down the installation process into three simple steps to help you easily follow & install the Exodus Redux addon on Kodi.

Step 1: Allow Unknown Sources on Kodi
Exodus Redux Kodi addon is not part of the official Kodi Add-on Repository. That’s why it is called a third-party addon. And, when you want to install such an add-on, you must have the Unknown Sources within Kodi switched on. This is how you do it:
1. Open the Settings option on the Kodi home screen (top-left), then go to System on the following screen.
2. Select/highlight Add-ons on the list of the options on the left sidebar. Now, navigate to the right of the same window and enable Unknown Sources.
3. Click Yes on the following warning message. Don’t worry about the warning.
Step 2: Install Exodus Redux Repository
1. Head back to the Kodi home screen and open Settings again.
2. Open the File Manager within Settings. In Kodi 18 and above, the File Manager folder is in the top row.
3. Open Add source.
4. Click where it says <None> in the next window.
5. Type the URL exactly as I have provided here: https://i-a-c.github.io. Click OK.
Note: FireStickTricks.com is not affiliated with those who host this URL. This link points to an external source.
6. When you are back on this window, enter redux (or any other name you like) in the area. Enter a name for this media source. Click OK.
7. Navigate to the Kodi home screen again and click Add-ons.
8. Open the Package Installer option by clicking the open-box icon on the far top-left of the following screen.
9. Choose Install from zip file.
10. Click the name redux on the list (or any other name you added earlier).
11. Click the zip file named repository.exodusredux-x.x.x.zip that you see on your screen.
Note: The file’s version number may differ from what you see in this guide. Open the zip file anyway
12. Wait for the Exodus Redux Repo installation confirmation (top-right corner) for a few seconds.
You are almost done now that you have successfully installed the Kodi Exodus Redux repository. Stay with me for one more step, and it will be done.
Step 3: Install Exodus Redux Kodi Addon
1. While staying on the same window, click Install from repository.
2. Open the Exodus Redux Repo.
3. Open Video add-ons.
4. Choose Exodus Redux.
5. Click the Install button on the bottom.
6. Kodi 18 users will also see a new window where the Kodi app will show all the files the add-on will install on their system. Click OK.
7. Now, wait a minute for the addon installation confirmation or notification.
You have successfully installed Exodus Redux Kodi Addon.
Before you start streaming with Exodus Redux on Kodi, I warn you that everything you stream with Kodi will be visible to your ISP and Government. Streaming copyrighted content (free movies, TV shows, Sports) might get you into legal trouble.
Kodi users are strongly advised to connect to a VPN while streaming. I always connect ExpressVPN on all my streaming devices, and I suggest you do the same. A VPN for Kodi will bypass ISP throttling, Government Surveillance, and geo-restriction on popular Add-ons.
So, before you start streaming, here’s how to get VPN protection in 3 simple steps.
Step 1: Get the ExpressVPN subscription HERE.
Step 2: Click HERE to download and install the ExpressVPN app on your device.
Step 3: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for Kodi.
We never promote or encourage copyright infringements, but we also don’t want you to end up in legal trouble. Furthermore, we believe in and strongly advocate the right to privacy.
Install Exodus Redux Kodi Addon Using Git Browser (alternate method)
For this method, you must have Git Browser installed. Follow this link to install Git Browser on Kodi using the popular Indigo Kodi addon.
Once you have the Git Browser, follow the steps below:
1. Go to the Kodi home screen.
2. Open Add-ons from the menu on the left.
3. Click Program add-ons and open Indigo Kodi addon.
4. Now open Addon installer.
5. Click Git Browser.
6. Get rid of the following prompt (if it appears) by hitting the back key, ESC key, or OK button, depending on which device you use, Kodi.
7. Now click Search by GitHub Username.
8. Click New Search.
9. Enter the username I-A-C. Click OK.
10. Click the zip file repository.exodusredux-0.0.1.zip.
11. When prompted, confirm your intent by clicking Install.
12. When the Exodus Redux repository is installed, click Continue.
13. Return to the Kodi home screen and click Add-ons on the left.
14. Click the open-box icon or package installer icon on the top-left.
15. Click Install from repository.
16. Click Exodus Redux Repo.
17. Open Video add-ons.
18. Click the Exodus Redux addon.
19. Click the button Install.
20. Wait for the Kodi Exodus Redux addon installation notification to appear on the top right.
That’s it! This is how you install Exodus Redux Kodi addon using the Git Browser.
Exploring Exodus Redux Addon on Kodi
Let’s take a quick look at the addon. I am providing a screenshot of the main window of Exodus Redux. Open it from the Add-ons > Video add-ons section (navigated from the Kodi home screen). The following is the main window.
The regular categories like Movies and TV Shows are all there. You only need to pick one of the categories and find your favorite movies and shows to play.
Now, all you need to do is open the desired category and navigate to the content you want to watch.
Features of Exodus Redux Kodi Addon
Both Kodi Exodus addons have similar features. However, Redux is more reliable. Here are some of its features:
- As I have already said, it employs the best scrapers collectively called Open Scrapers.
- Its scrapers have consistently fetched high-quality streams for me.
- It is fast. I haven’t seen many addons scraping these many streams so quickly.
- The content library is also huge. You will find every movie and TV show you could ask for.
- The library is updated frequently. I have seen episodes getting added to it within hours of broadcast.
- It is free.
How to Install Exodus V8 Kodi Addon
Update: The Exodus V8 Add-on is not working, as the Kodi Bae repository is down. Please try the Exodus Redux add-on mentioned above in this guide or other Kodi Add-Ons.
Now that you know how to install and use Redux, let’s start with the original Kodi Exodus addon installation process. These steps are for Kodi 18 Leia.
Note: If this is the first time you have installed a third-party Kodi Addon, the “Unknown Sources” option is disabled on your Kodi app. We must turn it ON to download and install Kodi Add-ons, not from official Kodi developers. You can do so by:
- Kodi Leia: Settings > System > Add-ons > Unknown Sources
- Kodi Krypton: Settings > System settings > Add-ons > Unknown Sources
Now, follow the steps below.
Step 1: Launch the Kodi App on your Fire TV Stick or PC. FireStick users can navigate the Kodi app by heading to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications > Kodi.
Step 2: Click the Settings gear icon on the top-left of your screen.
Step 3: Open “File Manager” and then click “Add Source”
Step 4: Replace “None” with this URL – http://lazykodi.com
In the name field, type lazy or any other name you like
Step 5: Go back to the Kodi app’s home screen. Click “Add-ons” on the left sidebar, and then open “Package Installer” at the top left of your screen.
Step 6: Open “Install from Zip File” and click “lazy” or any other name you chose earlier
Step 7: Click “Zips” to install the Kodi Bae repository for Exodus.
Step 8: Click “KodiBae.zip”.
Step 9: Wait for the success notification at the top right of the display. Once you see “Kodi Bae Repository Add-on installed,” you can proceed to the next step.
Step 10: Click “Install from Repository” and select “Kodi Bae Repository”
Note: Steps 11 to 13 are additional because many users encounter Indigo dependency errors while installing Exodus Kodi 8.0. Hence, we also install the TVAddons repository to ensure you don’t face the Indigo dependency error.
Step 11: Open “Add-on repository”
Step 12: Click “TVADDONS.CO Add-on Repository”
Step 13: Click “Install”
Step 14: Return to Kodi Bae Repository and Open the “Video Add-ons” folder.
Step 15: You will see a list of Kodi Add-ons on your screen. Find and open “Exodus.”
Step 16: Click “Install” to finish the Exodus installation process.
Note: After installing this addon on Kodi 18 Leia, you will see the following prompt after clicking Install above. This prompt lists all the additional add-ons installed with the Exodus addon. Click ‘OK’ to continue
Step 17: Wait for the Exodus Kodi Addon to download and install from the Kodi Bae Repository. Once you get a success notification at the top right of your display, you are done with the installation process.

How to Use Exodus Kodi Addon
Once you have installed Exodus on Kodi Krypton for your PC (Windows / Mac) or FireStick, go to the Kodi homepage. Now click “Add-ons” on the left sidebar menu options and hover over “Video Add-ons.” You should see “Exodus” listed on the right side. Just click it once to open the Exodus addon.
Now, you can explore the different sections of the Addon. As you can see in the image below, there are several folders, including Movies, TV Shows, New Movies, New Episodes, etc. You can explore and use it according to your preferences.
How to Update Exodus Kodi Addon
The same method works for updating any Kodi addon. I am sharing the steps to update the original Kodi Exodus, which applies to Redux.
1. Go to the Kodi homepage and click “Add-ons” on the left sidebar menu. Now go to “Video Add-ons” and then right-click “Exodus” (long-press Exodus on a touch device; on FireStick, press the menu button on the remote). Click “Information”
2. Click the “Update” option on the Addon information page.
3. If there will be a new Exodus update, you can install it from there. As of this writing, Exodus 8.4.8 is the latest version.
Exodus Not Working/ Streaming
The new version, Exodus v8.2.0, should fix the streaming issues. However, if you continue to experience issues, keep reading.
If you are here to fix the Exodus Kodi problems mainly related to no stream available for movies / TV shows, I suggest you reinstall the addon using the steps above. If you use the older Exodus addon available through TVAddons, it won’t stream due to TVAddons’ shutdown. The only way to get it working is to install it fresh using Kodi Bae Repo, as described above.
If you still encounter errors after reinstalling the new Exodus Addon using the method I shared above, you can always share your concerns in the comments below.
Exodus Kodi Addon: FAQs
Since Exodus shut down, we have received several questions. I have answered a couple of frequently asked questions below.
Exodus or any other Kodi addon is legal if you stream content in the public domain. However, streaming copyrighted or licensed content for free is illegal.
Yes, both these addons are different. Exodus is an older addon that was once very popular. However, it was shut down and later revived. Redux is a fork of the original add-on. However, these days, it is much more popular than its predecessor.
Exodus and Exodus Redux are on-demand Kodi add-ons for streaming Movies and TV Shows. They both have a big library of content. Whether you are looking for old or new titles, you will likely find them in these add-ons. You may also find other types of on-demand content, such as documentaries and videos for kids.
If you already have the addon on your device, simply follow the installation instructions again, as shown above (DO NOT uninstall the existing version). If there is a new version, it will be updated without you having to lose any existing addon data.
Winding Up
So, here are the methods to install Exodus Redux and the original Kodi Exodus addon. Both these add-ons work fine these days. However, Redux has become more popular, and rightly so, as it is faster and gets better streams. What are your thoughts? Let us know via the comments section below.

Danny says
I just installed exodus and using proton vpn. Every movie I picked is No Stream Available. Is exodus down?
Max says
Hi Danny. Exodus V8 Addon is currently not working as the Kodi Bae repository is down. Please try the Exodus Redux addon mentioned in this guide or try other Kodi Addons.
Lexie says
Hello! Thank you for your help! I tried to do this and followed it to a tee but on step 3 you told us to click video add-ons and there was none. It was only the repository. Then venom was the only thing popping up. I went ahead and used your oath add-on instead and it’s working great but just figured I would tell you. I tried for two hrs before going to oath. Not sure if it’s just the system or the add-on as I see many people are having the same issue
Max says
Hi Lexie, it seems you were trying to install Exodus Redux on Kodi 19. This addon does not work on Kodi 19 Matrix. On the other hand, the Oath addon does.
Jamie Siggers says
Mu Kodi updated and crashed my tv box. I had to to a hard reset to get it working so lost all my addons I followed the instructions above but it didn’t work. Only thing it gave me access to was VENOM, which is GARBAGE! Any help would be appreciated
Max says
Hi Jamie, which version of Kodi do you have (18 Leia or 19 Matrix). Nevertheless, we have a complete list of working addons. You can try some of these here: https://www.firesticktricks.com/best-kodi-addons.html
Dan says

Thank you
Max says
Hi Dan, it looks like you are trying to install these addons on Kodi 19 Matrix. However, they are yet not supported on this new version of Kodi.
Here is the list of Kodi 19 compatible addons: https://www.firesticktricks.com/best-kodi-addons.html#Best_Addons_for_Kodi_19_Matrix
DG says
After almost rage quitting my firestick altogether trying to get Kodi 19 Matrix to run (with zero results), I came across your install instructions for both Kodi 18 & Exodus Redux and it works flawlessly. I wasted 1/2 a day on matrix! Thank you so very much for helping even the most inept (me) get my firestick working the way I was used to. TY TY TY!!
Nico says

Max says
Hi Nico, Exodus Redux is working. You may have run into a temporary issue. Please check again and let me know.
Louisa Hackney says

Max says
