How to Install Genocide Addon on Kodi 2025 An Step Bu Step Complete Guide

How to Install Genocide Addon on Kodi: If you’ve been bouncing between Kodi add-ons trying to find one that actually works without breaking every five minutes, welcome to the club. Genocide is one of those solid, no-nonsense, “debrid-only” add-ons that might just become your new favorite — as long as you’ve got a Real-Debrid account (or Premiumize, or Alldebrid… you get the idea). This guide walks you through installing the Genocide add-on from The Crew Repository. I’m doing it on a humble little Amazon Firestick — but you can follow the exact same steps if you’re on a Fire TV, Android TV box, or anything that runs Kodi without screaming in protest.

How to Install Genocide Kodi Addon

  1. First things first, launch Kodi. (Yes, the obvious step, but hey, we’ve all had those moments…)
  2. Click the settings icon — it’s that gear in the top-left corner that looks like it’s from a 2004 sci-fi movie.
  3. Go to System. This is where Kodi hides all the stuff it doesn’t want us normal humans to find.
  4. On the left-hand side, hover over Add-ons, and flip that “Unknown sources” switch to ON. Without this, you won’t get very far — Kodi blocks outside stuff by default.
  5. It’ll freak out and give you a warning. Just click Yes. We’re living on the edge.
  6. Now hit the Back button to return to the System menu, and choose File Manager. Think of this like telling Kodi where your shady but magical stuff is coming from.
  7. Click Add source. It’ll open a new little window.
  8. Select <None> (classic), and type in the following URL — exactly, like you’re defusing a bomb:
    https://team-crew.github.io
  9. Now give this source a name. I usually go with something obvious like crew, but hey, name it “space-magic” if that makes you happy.
  10. Hit OK to save it.
  11. Smash that Back button again until you’re back at the System screen. Now click on Add-ons.
  12. Click Install from zip file. This is the part where you tell Kodi, “Yes, I know what I’m doing. Kind of.”
  13. Select whatever you named your media source (e.g. “crew”).
  14. Click on the file named repository.thecrew.zip. That’s the good stuff.
  15. Wait for a notification that says “The Crew Repo installed”. This usually takes a few seconds, unless the Kodi gods are feeling particularly moody today.
  16. Next, go to Install from repository. This is where we dig through the Crew’s treasure chest.
  17. Click on The Crew Repo.
  18. Scroll down to Video add-ons.
  19. Find and select Genocide. (Yes, the name is a little aggressive — but the content is gold.)
  20. Click Install.
  21. Now… wait. Don’t poke anything. Give it a minute or two. You’ll know it’s done when the install notification pops up.
  22. Head back to the Kodi home screen. Go to Add-ons, then select Genocide. And voilà — you’re in.
  23. You’ll probably see a changelog. Read it if you’re feeling curious. Or don’t. Your call.

And there it is. You’ve officially installed the Genocide Kodi Add-on. Congrats! That’s the hard part done.

You Still Need Real-Debrid 

Look, I wish we lived in a world where everything just worked out of the box. But this isn’t one of those cases. Genocide is a debrid-only add-on, which means if you haven’t linked a Real-Debrid (or similar) account yet, you’re gonna get nothing but dead links and frustration. If you don’t have a debrid account yet, I highly recommend Real-Debrid. It’s cheap, reliable, and frankly kind of essential for modern Kodi streaming. Once you have it, integrating it into Genocide is super easy — you’ll get prompted to authorize it when you open the add-on. Just follow the on-screen steps. It’s usually a code you enter at real-debrid.com/device and boom — high-quality streams everywhere.

Bonus Tip: Consider Using a VPN

If you’re streaming with Kodi — especially with third-party add-ons — use a VPN. Not because you’re doing anything evil, but because ISPs and nosy parties love to snoop on this stuff. Personally, I use Surfshark. It’s dirt cheap, works across all devices, and keeps things private. Plus, the whole “unlimited devices” thing means I can use it on everything from my Firestick to my grandma’s iPad (she doesn’t know, don’t tell her). Anyway, that’s it. Enjoy the streams, don’t be a jerk online, and happy binge-watching!

How to Enable Real-Debrid

Okay, so you’ve installed the Genocide add-on — awesome. But if you tried opening it and saw mostly dead links or low-quality streams, don’t panic. That’s totally normal. Genocide (like many good Kodi add-ons these days) doesn’t work properly unless you hook it up to a premium resolver. Enter Real-Debrid, our streaming savior.

If you’re new to this stuff, Real-Debrid is basically a paid service that unlocks high-quality video links — less buffering, more watching. It’s not the only option (Premiumize and AllDebrid also work), but Real-Debrid is the most popular for a reason. Here’s how to connect it.

  1. From the Kodi home screen, scroll down and select Tools. It’s usually somewhere near the bottom of the Genocide add-on menu — because of course, the useful stuff is never up top.
  2. Click on Settings: Accounts. Don’t let the boring name fool you — this is where the magic happens.
  3. Now hover over Accounts (on the sidebar), and click Authorize under the Real-Debrid section. If you’ve made it this far, you’re doing great.
  4. You’ll get a pop-up with a code. Looks like something from a video game cheat menu. Write it down or just memorize it for the next 60 seconds — it expires fast.
  5. Now grab your phone or jump on a browser and go to real-debrid.com/device. Punch in the code and authorize the app. You might need to log in first (obviously, if you haven’t created an account yet, that’s your first move).
  6. Once you authorize it, head back to Kodi. You should now see your Real-Debrid username or some kind of confirmation message. If you don’t, try again — Kodi can be a bit temperamental.

And that’s it — you’re in! Real-Debrid is now integrated and Genocide is officially unlocked. Time to explore the streaming vault and enjoy all the crisp HD goodness without those weird Russian-hosted sites that never actually play anything.

Genocide Add-on Features & Details

Once you start using Genocide, you’ll notice it’s actually pretty sleek. It’s not overloaded with junk, and it runs surprisingly smooth (even on older Firesticks). The categories are straightforward and functional — no fluff, no weird menus, just what you came for.

Here’s what you’ll find inside:

  • Movies – Tons of options, neatly organized. Not just the usual blockbusters either.
  • Shows – Same deal. Fast loading, plenty of sources, no filler.
  • Trakt Movies – If you’re a Trakt user, this section is clutch. It syncs everything beautifully.
  • Trakt Shows – Continue watching where you left off, because who has time to remember episode numbers?
  • Tools – Where you manage your account, clear cache, and other nerdy stuff. Surprisingly helpful.

Overall, Genocide is a solid VOD (Video-on-Demand) add-on. It’s clean, it works, and once Real-Debrid is hooked up, it delivers top-tier streams without crying for attention like some of the flashier add-ons. If you’re into binge-watching and hate buffering (so… everyone), this one’s worth keeping around.

Is Genocide Addon Legal?

This is the part where we have to say — it’s complicated. Kodi itself is 100% legal. But third-party add-ons like Genocide? That’s where things get a little gray. We can’t say definitively whether Genocide has the correct streaming licenses or not (and trust me, we’ve tried figuring it out — it’s a legal maze). But if you’re seeing links to content that probably shouldn’t be free… well, yeah, that’s your clue. Ultimately, you are responsible for what you stream. We’re not the content police, but we do recommend checking out verified legal streaming apps if you want to stay 100% safe and drama-free. For everyone else — keep a VPN running and stay smart.

Is it Safe to Use?

Short answer? It seems safe. The long answer involves tools like VirusTotal, which lets us scan repositories before installing them. We checked the Genocide repo, and no sketchy files showed up — that’s always a good sign. But let’s be real: Kodi add-ons can come and go, and you never know what’s happening behind the scenes. That’s why we always recommend using a VPN — especially when you’re diving into unverified territory like this. Personally, I use Surfshark. It’s fast, works across all my devices (even the ancient Android TV box in the garage), and doesn’t throttle speeds like some “free” VPNs do. Plus, it keeps your activity private — and that’s pretty important in today’s weird digital world.

So that’s the whole Genocide setup. Real-Debrid enabled, categories explored, safety tips covered. If you’ve made it this far, you’re officially a Kodi pro (or at least a very persistent beginner). If you run into any weird bugs, glitches, or ghost links — reboot first, complain later. Kodi can be moody, but it usually gets there in the end. Have thoughts about Genocide? Love it? Hate it? Found a better add-on? Feel free to scream into the void (or, you know, leave a comment).

FAQs

What is Real-Debrid and why do I need it for Kodi?

Real-Debrid is a premium multi-hoster service that gives you access to high-quality streaming links that aren’t typically available through free add-ons. When you integrate it with Kodi add-ons like Genocide, it unlocks faster, more reliable, and higher-resolution streams (think 1080p and 4K). Without it, you’ll probably end up with broken links or low-quality streams — if anything plays at all.

Can I use Genocide Kodi Addon without a Real-Debrid account?

Technically, yes — but practically, not really. Genocide is what’s known as a “debrid-only” add-on, which means it’s built to work with services like Real-Debrid, Premiumize, or AllDebrid. Without one of these linked, you’re likely to see a whole lot of nothing when you try to stream. If you’re serious about using Genocide, a Real-Debrid account is pretty much required.

Is Real-Debrid a one-time purchase or subscription-based?

Real-Debrid works on a subscription basis. The plans are fairly affordable, and you can choose from different durations — like 15 days, 30 days, 90 days, etc. Most Kodi users go with the 90-day plan since it gives the best value. And no, it’s not a scam — it’s one of the most recommended tools in the Kodi streaming world for a reason.

Does Real-Debrid work on all Kodi add-ons?

Not all, but most of the popular and actively maintained Kodi add-ons support Real-Debrid integration. Genocide, The Crew, Seren, and Fen are some of the add-ons that work beautifully with it. If you’re not sure, look in the add-on’s settings under “Accounts” or “Resolvers” — if there’s an option to authorize Real-Debrid, you’re good to go.

Do I need to authorize Real-Debrid every time I use Kodi?

Nope, thankfully. Once you authorize Real-Debrid through Kodi or the specific add-on (like Genocide), it usually stays active for a few weeks unless you manually clear your settings or reinstall the add-on. It’s a one-time setup per device or per Kodi install — so unless you’re jumping between 10 devices, you’re set.
