If you use Kodi, chances are you’ve heard about third-party repositories like the popular Kodi Bae Repository. These repositories provide easy access to many of the best Kodi video and music add-ons all in one place.
In this detailed guide, I’ll be walking you through how to fully install the Kodi Bae Repository on your Amazon Firestick, Fire TV, or Android TV box. With just a few simple steps, you’ll unlock huge libraries of free movies, TV shows, live sports, and more.
Let’s get started!
An Introduction to Kodi Repositories
First, what exactly is a Kodi “repository”?
A repository is essentially a central storehouse for many different Kodi add-ons. Instead of having to find and install each add-on individually, a repository lets you get everything in one place.
The official Kodi repository contains only add-ons that meet strict guidelines. But third-party repositories like Kodi Bae offer access to many more unofficial (but working) add-ons outside of Kodi’s official directory.
According to Kodi usage statistics, over 45% of Kodi users take advantage of third-party repositories. They can provide a massive amount of content compared to the default add-ons.
The Kodi Bae Repository stands out as one of the most popular third-party repositories right now. It offers a great lineup of the top video add-ons that make it easy to stream movies, TV shows, sports, and more.
Some of the best Kodi add-ons packed into the Kodi Bae Repository include:
-
Exodus – An extremely popular video add-on for movies and TV with lightning-fast streams.
-
Seren – One of the newest video add-ons that scrapes top torrent sites for high-quality streams.
-
The Crew – Great for live sports and IPTV channels from around the world.
-
Oath – Huge selection of TV shows with intuitive menus and artwork.
-
Tempest – Reliable add-on for movies in 4K quality when available.
And many more! As you can see, this repository brings together some of the very best video add-ons that would otherwise require individual installs.
Next, I’ll walk you through exactly how to get the Kodi Bae Repository up and running on your device.
Step 1: Enable Unknown Sources on Your Device
Since the Kodi Bae Repository isn’t part of the official Kodi directory, the first thing you need to do is enable “Unknown Sources” in Kodi‘s settings. This allows you to install outside add-ons and repositories.
Here are the quick steps to enable this option:
-
Launch the Kodi app on your Firestick, Fire TV, or Android TV box.
-
Click on the Settings icon in the top left corner (shaped like a gear).
-
Next click on System Settings from the side menu.
-
Select the Add-ons tab.
-
Choose Unknown Sources.
-
You’ll get a warning popup – click Yes to enable it.
And that’s it! By enabling Unknown Sources you now have permission to install third-party repositories and add-ons outside of Kodi’s official directory.
Step 2: Add the Kodi Bae Repository Source
Now that Unknown Sources is flipped on, you can add the actual repository.
Every Kodi repository has a source path that points Kodi to where that repo is located online. Think of it like a URL for the repository.
Here’s how to enter the Kodi Bae Repository source:
-
Go back to the System Settings menu and click on File Manager.
-
Select Add Source.
-
Click on to open the source dialog box.
-
Enter the following exact URL:
-
In the bottom box, enter a name for this source like "Kodi Bae" and click OK.
That adds the source path so Kodi can now install the repository from that location. You’ll only have to do this part once.
Step 3: Install the Kodi Bae Zip File
With the source entered, it’s time to install the actual repository zip file:
-
Go back to the Kodi home screen and click on Add-ons from the side menu.
-
Select Install from Zip File.
-
Click on the name that you entered for the source in Step 2 (in this case "Kodi Bae").
-
Select the KODIBAE.zip file. This installs the repository.
-
Wait a moment until you see the “Kodi Bae Repository Add-on installed” notification.
And that’s all there is to it! The Kodi Bae Repository is now installed on your device. Now you can access and install all the add-ons it contains.
Step 4: Install Add-ons from the New Repository
Here are the steps to access and install add-ons from your new repository:
-
Go back to the Add-ons menu.
-
This time, select Install from Repository.
-
Choose the Kodi Bae Repository.
-
Select the category of add-ons you want (Video add-ons, Music add-ons, etc).
-
Pick any add-on and install it like you normally would.
-
Repeat for any other add-on you want from the repository.
And that’s all there is to it! You can now install and enjoy any of the great video add-ons included in the repository like Seren, Exodus, The Crew and many more.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of the Kodi Bae Repository
Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your new add-on lineup:
-
Keep the repository updated by periodically reinstalling the KODIBAE.zip file from Step 3. Add-ons are frequently updated.
-

-
Try out different add-ons! Most scrape the same sources, but have slightly different interfaces and features.
-
Consider using a VPN like Surfshark or NordVPN when streaming for faster speeds and privacy.

Comparing Kodi Bae to Other Kodi Repositories
The Kodi Bae Repository stands as one of the most popular third-party Kodi repositories, but how does it compare to some other top options out there?
Here’s a quick rundown of how Kodi Bae stacks up:
Kodi Nerds Repository – Contains unique add-ons like RayWenderlich Tut Add-on for learning to code. But has fewer top video add-ons than Kodi Bae.
Supremacy Repository – Offers great video add-ons like Yoda and Overeasy that you won’t find in Kodi Bae. But installation involves more steps.
XvBMC Repository – One of the oldest Kodi repositories, but video add-ons aren’t updated as frequently now.
No Limits Magic Repository – Specializes in live sports add-ons, but lighter on other content categories.
As you can see, the Kodi Bae Repository stands out for its combination of simplicity, breadth of add-ons, and inclusion of top video sources. It‘s a great all-around repository suitable for most users.
But feel free to experiment with other repositories based on your interests. Most can be installed right alongside each other!
Are Third-Party Kodi Add-Ons Legal?
A common question surrounding third-party repositories and add-ons is – are they legal?
The short answer is that it depends on what content you stream and where you live. Streaming copyright-protected material without permission is technically illegal in many regions.
However, Kodi itself is just a media player software. The developers behind Kodi have no affiliation with any of the third-party add-ons available, legal or illegal.
While some add-ons link to legal free content like Youtube videos, public domain movies, and podcasts, many provide access to pirated material. You should avoid add-ons focused exclusively on pirated content.
Using a VPN is recommended for privacy, but won’t make illegal streaming legal. The best approach is to exercise personal responsibility regarding the content you choose to access.
Now that you understand the basics of legality, let‘s get back to installing this powerful repository!
