How to Install the Deliverance Add-on on Kodi Krypton

Getting Ready to Install Deliverance

Before beginning the installation process, there are a couple of important prerequisites you must take care of. First and foremost, ensure you have Kodi Krypton installed on the device you plan to use. Secondly, and highly recommended, consider using a Virtual Private Network, or VPN. A VPN encrypts your internet traffic and masks your IP address, adding a layer of privacy when you stream content. This can be particularly useful when using add-ons that access potentially unregulated sources. A good VPN service can offer peace of mind and help protect your online activity.

Finally, before we start with the installation, you need to adjust a setting within Kodi. This setting allows Kodi to install add-ons from sources that are not directly from the official Kodi repository. This step is essential for installing Deliverance, as it’s not hosted in the official Kodi repository.

To enable installations from unknown sources:

  1. Start Kodi.
  2. Go to the Settings menu, represented by the gear icon.
  3. Navigate to the System settings (or System).
  4. Select the Add-ons section on the left-hand side.
  5. Look for the “Unknown sources” option and toggle it to the “on” position. This will enable the add-on installation from unofficial sources.
  6. Kodi will display a warning message. Click “Yes” to proceed, confirming that you understand the potential risks.

Adding the Source Repository

The first major step towards installing Deliverance involves adding the source repository. The repository serves as a container that holds the necessary files to install the add-on. It’s essentially a link to a specific online location that hosts the add-on’s installation package.

Here’s how to add the source repository:

  1. From the Kodi home screen, click on the Settings icon (the gear).
  2. Click on “File manager.”
  3. In the file manager window, click on “Add source.”
  4. A box will appear. Click on “<None>.”
  5. This is where you will enter the source URL. (IMPORTANT: You need to find a currently working repository URL for Deliverance. The URL changes frequently, so you must research and find a reliable source. For this example, let’s assume the valid URL is “http://example.com/repository” – but VERIFY THIS BEFORE USING). Enter the repository URL you found and click “OK.” Double-check that you have entered it correctly to prevent any errors.
  6. A new box will appear asking you to name the source. Choose a name that makes it easy to identify the repository. For instance, you can name it “Deliverance Repository.”
  7. Click “OK” again to save the source.

Installing the Repository from the Source

Now that you have added the source, the next step is to install the actual repository. This step installs the repository files within Kodi.

Follow these steps:

  1. Go back to Kodi’s main menu and click on “Add-ons” on the left-hand side.
  2. Click the “package installer” icon (the open box icon) located in the top left corner of the screen.
  3. Select “Install from zip file.”
  4. You’ll see a list of sources you’ve added, including the one you just created. Select “Deliverance Repository” (or whatever you named it).
  5. Inside the repository, you’ll see a list of files and folders. You need to locate the repository zip file. The name of the zip file will vary depending on the repository. It often includes the word “repository” or the name of the repository itself (e.g., repository.deliverance.zip).
  6. Select the zip file.
  7. Wait for the “Add-on installed” notification to appear in the top-right corner. This confirms that the repository has been successfully installed.

Installing the Deliverance Add-on

With the repository installed, you can now proceed to install the Deliverance add-on. This is the final step in the installation process.

  1. Go back to the Add-ons section by going back to Kodi’s main menu and clicking “Add-ons”.
  2. Click on the “package installer” icon again (the open box icon).
  3. This time, select “Install from repository.”
  4. A list of your installed repositories will appear. Find and select the “Deliverance Repository” (or whatever you named it).
  5. Inside the repository, navigate to “Video add-ons”.
  6. Scroll through the list of available add-ons and locate “Deliverance.”
  7. Click on the Deliverance add-on to open its details page.
  8. Click the “Install” button.
  9. Kodi will then download and install the Deliverance add-on. Wait for the “Add-on installed” notification to appear in the top-right corner to confirm the installation.

A Note on Configuring Deliverance

After the installation is complete, you might want to configure the Deliverance add-on. Configuration settings vary depending on the add-on. However, some common options include choosing your preferred video sources, setting up Real Debrid or similar debrid services (if you have a subscription), and customizing the add-on’s appearance. Most add-ons allow access to the settings menu. Experiment with the settings to customize the experience to your liking.

Using the Deliverance Add-on: Streaming Your Content

Once Deliverance is installed, you can start using it to stream your favorite content. To access the add-on:

  1. Return to the Kodi main menu.
  2. Select “Add-ons” from the menu on the left.
  3. You should see the Deliverance add-on listed among your installed video add-ons.
  4. Click on the Deliverance add-on to open it.

Within Deliverance, you’ll usually find a menu structure, allowing you to browse through various categories, such as movies, TV shows, and sometimes, live TV channels. The specific content available and the way it is presented can vary based on the add-on’s updates. Simply navigate the menus to browse the available content and select what you want to watch. Choose a stream from the presented sources, and enjoy your viewing experience!

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Sometimes, things don’t go as planned. Here are some troubleshooting tips for common issues you might encounter during the installation or when using Deliverance:

  • Add-on not working: Ensure that your internet connection is active and working. Sometimes, restarting Kodi or your device can also help.
  • Failed to install dependency errors: This error often occurs when an add-on requires specific dependencies that are not installed on your Kodi system. To resolve it, go to Add-ons, click on “Install from repository,” find the repository that contains the required dependency (often the same repository where you installed the add-on), install the necessary dependency, then try installing the add-on again.
  • Buffering issues: Buffering can happen for a few reasons. Try switching to a different stream source. Your internet speed could be too slow. Clear the cache of Kodi to improve the performance. And of course, a good VPN can often help.
  • Add-on not found: If you can’t find the Deliverance add-on during the installation process, double-check that you entered the source URL correctly, and that the repository is still active. Repositories sometimes become inactive. The best way to find working repositories is to use online forums or search for information on the internet for recent updates.

Keeping Things Updated

It is essential to keep both the Deliverance add-on and the repository updated. Regular updates can fix bugs, improve performance, and, in some cases, add new features and content. To check for updates:

  • Go to the Add-ons section in Kodi.
  • Select “My add-ons.”
  • Look for Deliverance and, when available, update it. The process will depend on the Add-on.

You should also regularly check the repository for updates. Keeping your repositories and add-ons updated is vital for a seamless and reliable streaming experience.
