This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough on installing the Home Theater add-on on Kodi 17.1 Krypton. Please note: Kodi itself is legal, but the legality of add-ons and their content depends entirely on the content being accessed. Using add-ons to access copyrighted material without permission is illegal. This guide is for educational purposes only; I do not endorse or condone illegal activity.

Before you begin:

• Back up your Kodi profile: Before making any significant changes to your Kodi installation, it's crucial to back up your profile. This protects your settings and data in case something goes wrong.
• Verify your Kodi version: Ensure you're using Kodi 17.1 Krypton. Installing add-ons designed for other versions may cause problems.
• Understand the risks: Installing third-party add-ons carries inherent risks, including potential malware. Only download add-ons from reputable sources.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

These instructions assume you already have Kodi 17.1 Krypton installed.

Step 1: Enable Unknown Sources

This is a crucial security setting that allows Kodi to install add-ons from sources other than the official Kodi repository.

1. Open Kodi.
2. Navigate to System (or Settings, depending on your Kodi skin).
3. Select System settings.
4. Go to Add-ons.
5. Toggle the switch next to Unknown sources to ON.
6. Acknowledge the warning message.

Step 2: Add the Repository

Home Theater add-on is usually hosted on a third-party repository. You will need to add this repository to your Kodi system. Note: The specific repository URL may change. Verify the URL from a trusted source before proceeding. I will not provide a specific URL in this guide for security reasons.

1. Go back to the System (or Settings) menu.
2. Select File Manager.
3. Select Add source.
4. Click on <None>.
5. Enter the exact repository URL (obtained from a trusted source). Double-check for typos!
6. Enter a name for the source (e.g., "Home Theater Repo").
7. Click OK.

Step 3: Install the Add-on from the Repository

1. Go back to the Kodi home screen.
2. Select Add-ons.
3. Click the package installer icon (it looks like an open box).
4. Select Install from zip file.
5. Choose the source you added in Step 2.
6. Navigate to the Home Theater add-on zip file.
7. Select the zip file and wait for the notification that the repository is installed.
8. Select Install from repository.
9. Select the repository you just added.
10. Select Video add-ons (or the appropriate category).
11. Find "Home Theater" and select it.
12. Click Install.

Step 4: Verify Installation

Once installation is complete, you should see a notification in the top-right corner. You can now find the Home Theater add-on in your Kodi video add-ons list.

Important Considerations:

• Legal Content: Only access content you have the legal right to view.
• Security: Be cautious about the sources you download add-ons from. Malicious add-ons can compromise your system.
• Updates: Regularly check for updates to both Kodi and your add-ons to ensure optimal performance and security.

This guide provides a general overview. Specific steps may vary slightly depending on your Kodi skin and the exact repository used. Always exercise caution and prioritize your system's security.
