This guide provides a step-by-step process for installing the Tknorris Release repository on Kodi 16 (Jarvis). Please note: Kodi 16 is significantly outdated and no longer receives security updates or support. Using this older version exposes your system to potential vulnerabilities. It is strongly recommended to upgrade to a supported Kodi version. However, if you must use Kodi 16 for legacy reasons, proceed with caution and at your own risk.

Prerequisites

Before beginning, ensure you have:

• Kodi 16 (Jarvis) installed: This guide is specifically for Kodi version 16. It will not work with other versions.
• A stable internet connection: Downloading the repository requires a reliable internet connection.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

This process involves enabling unknown sources in Kodi's settings. This is a necessary step to install third-party add-ons but does increase your system's vulnerability.

Step 1: Enable Unknown Sources

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 Unknown sources option to ON.
6. Acknowledge any warning messages.

Step 2: Install from Zip File

1. Go back to the main Kodi menu.
2. Select System (or Settings).
3. Choose File manager.
4. Select Add source.
5. Click on <None>.
6. Enter the Tknorris repository URL (ensure this is a trusted and verified URL; incorrect URLs can lead to malware installation). Verify the source before entering the URL.
7. Enter a memorable name for this source (e.g., "Tknorris"). Click OK.
8. Go back to the main Kodi menu.

Step 3: Install the Repository

1. Select Add-ons.
2. Click on the Package installer icon (it looks like an open box).
3. Choose Install from zip file.
4. Select the source you named in Step 2 ("Tknorris" or whatever you chose).
5. Locate and select the repository zip file (the exact filename may vary, but it will usually be something like repository.tknorris-x.x.x.zip).
6. Wait for the notification that the repository has been installed.

Step 4: Install Add-ons from the Repository (Optional)

Once the repository is installed, you can install individual add-ons from within it. This is done via the Install from repository option in the package installer. Choose the Tknorris repository and browse the available add-ons.

Important Security Considerations

• Verify URLs: Always double-check the source of any repository URLs before entering them into Kodi. Untrusted URLs can introduce malware.
• Antivirus Software: Run a malware scan after installing any third-party add-ons.
• Kodi Updates: While Kodi 16 is no longer supported, keeping any other software on your system updated is crucial for security.
• VPN Usage: Consider using a VPN for added security and privacy when using unofficial Kodi repositories.
