This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough on installing the Xenon build on Kodi 17 Krypton. Please note: Kodi 17 Krypton is an outdated version, and using older versions of Kodi exposes you to potential security risks and may lack vital updates. It's strongly recommended to upgrade to a supported version of Kodi for optimal performance and security. This guide is provided for informational purposes only for users who specifically require installation on this legacy version.

Before You Begin

Before proceeding, it is crucial to understand that installing third-party builds like Xenon carries risks. These builds often contain unofficial add-ons that may violate copyright laws or contain malware. Proceed at your own risk.

It is also important to ensure you have a reliable internet connection throughout the installation process.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

These steps are specific to Kodi 17 Krypton and may not work on other versions.

1. Enable Unknown Sources: Open Kodi. Go to Settings (the gear icon) > System Settings > Add-ons. Turn on the toggle for Unknown sources. You will likely receive a warning; acknowledge and accept it.

2. Add the Xenon Repository: Go back to the main Kodi menu. Select Settings > File Manager. Select Add source. A box will appear. In the top box (None), type the exact URL of the Xenon repository (this URL may change over time; consult relevant forums for up-to-date information). Give it a memorable name like "XenonRepo" in the bottom box and click OK. Double-check the spelling; incorrect URLs will prevent the installation.

3. Install the Xenon Repository: Go back to the main menu. Select Add-ons > Install from zip file. Select the name you gave your Xenon repository (e.g., "XenonRepo"). Locate and select the correct zip file containing the repository. Kodi will then install the repository.

4. Install the Xenon Build: Once the repository is installed, go to Add-ons > Install from repository. Select the newly added Xenon repository. Look for the Xenon build. Select it and click Install. This process might take some time depending on your internet speed and the build's size.

5. Complete the Installation: After the installation completes, a notification will appear. You can then exit and launch the Xenon build from the main menu.

Important Considerations

• Legal Implications: Using add-ons that provide access to copyrighted material is illegal in many jurisdictions. You are responsible for your actions and any consequences arising from their use.
• Security Risks: Unofficial builds and add-ons carry a higher risk of malware and security vulnerabilities. Be cautious and scan your system regularly with updated anti-malware software.
• Kodi Updates: Keeping Kodi updated to the latest stable release is crucial for security and performance. Using outdated versions significantly increases the risk of issues.

This guide serves as a general instruction. The specific details, such as the repository URL and filenames, might be subject to change. Always check reputable Kodi forums and websites for the most up-to-date and accurate information before starting the installation. Again, consider upgrading to a currently supported Kodi version for the best user experience and security.
