Install Dradis Addon on Kodi Firestick: Alright, if you’re like me and you love having tons of streaming options right at your fingertips, then Dradis is going to be a pretty sweet addition to your Kodi setup. But heads up—it’s not one of those addons you can just grab from the official Kodi repository. Nope, we have to go the external source route. Don’t worry, though, I’ll walk you through the whole thing step-by-step, and by the end, you’ll have this VOD powerhouse running smooth as butter on your device.
Dradis Addon on Kodi
Quick brag moment: Dradis offers movies and TV shows in stunning HD—think 1080p, even 4K if your gear supports it. But here’s the catch, it’s a premium addon. That means you’ll need to link it with a premium resolving service like Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, or Premiumize. I’m telling you, once you do that, buffering becomes a thing of the past, and your streaming experience hits a whole new level of silky smooth. In this guide, I’m rocking the latest Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max, but honestly, this method works on any device running Kodi. So, no matter what you’re streaming on, this tutorial’s got you covered.
How to Install Dradis Kodi Addon
- Open Kodi and hit the Settings icon (you know, the little gear).
- Click on System.
- Look for Add-ons on the left side, then make sure Unknown sources is turned on. If it’s not, toggle it on. (Side note: Kodi will warn you here—because installing from unknown sources is kinda like trusting a stranger with your Netflix password. So, definitely use a VPN to keep things private and safe.)
- Click Yes when the warning pops up.
- Now, go back to the Settings main page and open File manager.
- Click on Add source.
- Select <None> when prompted to enter a URL.
- Type this URL exactly:
https://kodiyashimaru.github.io/repoand hit OK. - Give this media source a name you’ll remember. I went with fitz but you can name it whatever floats your boat. Then click OK.
- Back in the System menu, click Add-ons.
- Choose Install from zip file.
- Find and select the name you gave the source earlier (so, “fitz” if you stuck with that).
- Click on the file named repository.kodifitzwell.zip.
- Wait for the “kodifitzwell repository Add-On Installed” notification. That’s your green light.
- Next, hit Install from repository.
- Choose the kodifitzwell repository from the list.
- Navigate to Video Add-Ons.
- Find and select Dradis.
- Click Install.
- When Kodi asks, just click OK to confirm any dependencies or permissions.
- And boom—you’ll see the “Dradis Add-on Installed” message. Victory!
There you have it. Dradis is now on your device, but hold up—don’t start binge-watching just yet. Remember how I said it’s a premium addon? That means you need to link it to a service like Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, or Premiumize to unlock all those silky smooth streams. Otherwise, it’s gonna be a lot of buffering and low-quality links. Trust me, it’s worth the few extra minutes to set that up. So, if you want that buttery 1080p or even 4K goodness with zero lag, get your premium resolver ready. And hey, if you don’t have one yet, I can help you figure out how to set it up next.
Enable Resolving Service
Okay, here’s the deal—Dradis won’t do you much good without hooking it up to a premium service like Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, or Premiumize. It’s like having a sports car but no gas in the tank. Luckily, integrating these services is pretty straightforward, and I’ll guide you through it.
- Fire up the Dradis Kodi Addon and head over to Tools. It’s your launchpad for tweaking things under the hood.
- Click on SETTINGS: Accounts. This is where the magic happens.
- Find the Real-Debrid section and hit Authorize. Kodi will throw you an authorization code — jot this down or just keep the window open.
- Now, grab your phone or computer and visit real-debrid.com/device. Pop in that code you just got.
- Once that’s done, jump back into the Dradis addon. You should see a confirmation that Real-Debrid is hooked up and ready to roll. Click OK, and you’re good to go!
And just like that, you’ve turned Dradis into a streaming beast. No more buffering, just fast, clean streams.
Description & Details
Let me tell you, Dradis is like the overachiever in the Kodi addon world. It’s blazing fast at finding and playing content—like it’s got a sixth sense for the best sources out there. The interface is clean and simple, which I really appreciate because I hate getting lost in a jungle of confusing menus.
Here’s a quick rundown of what you’ll see:
- Discover Movies
- Discover TV Shows
- My Movies
- My TV Shows
- Search
- Tools
- Premium Services
- News and Info
- ChangeLog
Heads up: when you first dive in, Dradis might ask you to install the metahandler addon. Don’t freak out. Just click Yes. It’s like the behind-the-scenes helper that makes everything work smoothly.
Once everything is set up, you’ll have access to a massive library of movies and TV shows. The links are mostly high-def—think 1080p and even 4K for the lucky ones—and you won’t be stuck watching blurry, pixelated streams. Plus, with all those torrent options, you get a lot of variety in file sizes and quality. Honestly, Dradis has become one of my favorite Kodi addons. It’s fast, reliable, and seriously well-made. If you’ve browsed the TROYPOINT site, you’ve probably seen it listed as one of the best Kodi addons—and for good reason.
Is Dradis Kodi Addon Safe to Use?
Look, I get it—security is a big deal. Before I dove in, I ran the repo URL through VirusTotal to check for any nasties. Spoiler alert: it came back clean. No malicious files, no hidden viruses, nada. That said, even the safest addons can potentially expose some personal info, since these third-party developers do have access to certain device data. So, it’s smart to be cautious. Always use a reliable VPN when streaming with these kinds of addons. It’s like putting on a digital invisibility cloak.
Warning for 3rd Party Addons
If you’re not already using a VPN, this is your friendly reminder. Seriously, a good VPN is your best friend when streaming or downloading with addons that aren’t officially vetted. It keeps your connection anonymous and protects your data from prying eyes—whether it’s your ISP, the app developers, or, you know, the government.

If you need help setting one up, I’ve got guides for installing VPNs on Firestick and Android devices. It’s easier than it sounds, and it’ll save you a world of headaches.
Is Dradis Legal to Use?
This one’s a bit murky. There’s no way for me—or even TROYPOINT—to guarantee that everything you find on Dradis is 100% legal. It looks like some content isn’t officially licensed, so it’s a bit of a gray area. If you want to stay totally legit, stick to public domain titles or content that’s clearly free to access. At the end of the day, the responsibility for what you watch falls on you. I’m just here to show you how it works, not to hand out legal advice.
Wrapping Up
The Kodifitzwell repository keeps proving itself as one of the top spots for Kodi fans who want a solid streaming experience. Dradis fits right into that legacy, especially if you’re willing to use a debrid service to get the best out of it. So, what’s your take on Dradis? Have you tried it out yet? Drop a comment below and let me know—I’m curious to hear if it’s living up to the hype for you.
