in this video i'm going to show you how
to install the hot off the presses
kodi 18.9 leah
and by the end of the video i'm going to
show you how you can have
kodi looking like this but we're also
going to install the blank version
in case you want to install your own
add-ons or builds
if you're curious about what the best
builds and add-ons
are you can visit my website at
reviewvpn.com
builds to find articles and guides with
step-by-step screenshots on
50 plus of the best kodi builds you can
also type
reviewvpn.com add-ons
to access a page which will provide
information on 230 plus
of the best working kodi add-ons so the
other thing that i want to point out
just really quickly here i'm going to go
ahead and click the home button on my
remote
so i also want to point out at the start
of this video if you're ever
not happy with the way that cody is
working
like you installed a build or an add-on
that you really don't like and you just
want to reset it to the default state
but you don't want to go through that
installation process
you can quickly reset kodi from the home
screen of your fire stick
by scrolling all the way to the right
until you reach settings
then scrolling down once then scrolling
over to applications
clicking on it scrolling down to manage
installed applications
clicking the center button then you
would just go to
kodi click the center button
and go to clear data and so when you
clear the data it's just going to reset
cody
to the brand spanking
new state and we can see that this is a
nice clean uh fresh install
of cody it asks us for all the same
permissions
so i'm going to reset my fire stick and
get started and show you guys how to get
kodi
18.9 in a jiffy
i'm going to get started from the home
screen of the fire stick by scrolling
all the way to the right until i reach
settings
once i've reached settings i'm going to
want to scroll down one
and then i'm going to scroll most of the
way to the right
until i reach my fire tv once i've
reached my fire tv i'm going to go ahead
and click the center button on
it at this point i want to scroll down
one
and then click the center button on
developer options and here we're
adjusting
settings to allow the fire stick to
accept third-party applications
that are not in the amazon app store so
kodi is not in the app store so we need
to adjust these settings but the good
news is we only need to adjust these
settings
one time and so let's do that by
clicking the center button on
adb debugging and then let's scroll down
one and then click the center button on
abs from unknown sources
this one gives us a pop-up we want to go
ahead and prove the pop-up by clicking
the center button one more time
now we're done adjusting those settings
and i'm going to go ahead and click the
home button
on my remote now here we do want to
search that official amazon app store
we're going to search for an application
called downloader downloader
acts as a browser but unlike the other
browsers in this app store so firefox
and silk
downloader will actually download files
from the internet
by the time i type do downloader pops up
as a suggestion i'm going to scroll
down to that suggestion highlight it and
then click the center button
now i'm going to recognize downloader by
this bright orange icon right here i'm
going to go ahead and click the snare
button on it
i'm going to click the center button on
this next option here it might either
say download or get
it's the exact same difference it
doesn't take very long we're already
ready to open it so i'm going to go
ahead and click this enter button
then we'll have two pop-ups to approve
since our whole
purpose behind downloader is to allow it
to download files to our fire stick we
want to go and approve this one by
clicking the start button on allow
this is a pop-up from the developer we
want to go ahead and approve it by
clicking the center button
now we want to scroll up once to
highlight this box
right here you're going to use
downloader to get an application called
file linked file linked allows average
joes like me
to create these awesome curated app
stores
if you watch many streaming videos
you'll run across potentially
hundreds of different filing store codes
but i'm going to give you guys the very
best
one so to get file linked we are going
to type
g e t and then
period f i
l e l
i n k
e d and then dot
c o m so once again it's get dot filing
dot com
once you've got that type just go ahead
and scroll to the word go
and then click the center button this
will automatically start this roughly
11.2 megabyte download we can see that
it's already done on mine
so i'm going to scroll once to the right
highlight the word install
and then click the center button now
that it's installed instead of
open it right away i want to highlight
the word done and then click the center
button on that
that's because you always want to delete
the apk files after
installing a new app you no longer need
those apk files and there's such a
limited amount of storage on the fire
stick that even 11.2 megabytes does make
a difference
so let's do that by scrolling once to
the right highlight the word delete and
then click
the center button scroll once to the
left highlight the word delete and then
click the center button
now i'm going to go ahead and click the
home button on my remote
and from here i'm going to want to
scroll down to the second row
on my device it's called your apps and
channels it might be called your apps
and games on your device
same difference we're just going to
scroll down to that and because i have
so many applications installed
i can scroll once to the left and then
click on the see all button
if i had fewer applications installed i
would scroll to the right
until i made it to file linked so new
apps are at the bottom so i'm going to
scroll once to the left
because i plan to use file linked a lot
and i recommend that you use it a lot
let's go ahead and click the button
that's right of the home button
now this gives me the option to either
move which would let me pick
any spot that i wanted or i can just do
move to front so i'm going to go with
that option
and then go up there and let's open file
link for the first time
by clicking the center button now here
i'm going to give you guys the stream at
all store code
up to 245 applications and websites and
growing
please subscribe to the channel if you
use this store it does
take an inordinate amount of work to
keep it updated on a daily basis
so by subscribing it is a small gesture
that shows us that you appreciate that
work and we should continue doing it
so this store code is going to be six
seven six
six four five three
seven once again six seven six six four
five three seven
so i'm gonna scroll down highlight the
word next and then click the center
button on it
now i'm going to click the center button
one more time it's going to be on
continue
so i'm going to go ahead and get the
first application in the store this is a
vpn service and we can tell that i'm
getting it because the green bars are
surrounding it
i'm going to click the center button
this is a pop-up from the developer
right here so i'm going to go ahead and
click
on the word dismiss with the center
button
so i am getting the vpn service because
it
hides all your online activities and it
allows you to access additional streams
and content that's very important with
kodi because you often don't know
where these links are coming from so now
that that is downloaded i'm going to go
ahead and click the center button one
more time
scroll once to the right highlight the
word install and then click the center
button
now i'm going to highlight the word done
and then click the center button on that
by the way feel free to get any
application in this store to click on
any link one of the ones that i'm most
proud of is right here at the top
if you're interested in additional
filing codes if you type
reviewvpn.com codes in any browser
you can access our list of the 50 best
filing codes we update it like two or
three times a month
we're really proud of that list and i
just want to point out here especially
this top section here if you're getting
cody for free movies and tv shows if
you're not
happy with it or if you just want
alternatives
all these apps in this section here are
great cinema hd
nova tv and we frequently provide you
with the ad free version
xenotevi is great viva tv is great
streamio can provide you movies and tv
shows
in addition to adult content at a very
high quality
strix has a lot of adult content be tv
great for movies and tv shows
pikachu isn't the prettiest thing but
man is it simple
and it gives you high quality movies
film plus
is coming on strong and if you get the
modded version it is
ad free so like i said pretty much any
of these are pretty darn awesome
then there's free cable websites right
here
along with a bunch of free sports
football season
you should just and you can also click
on these to get to those build
and add-on lists that i mentioned
earlier
so we are at our target but i recommend
that you go through the whole filing
store and so with the green bars
surrounding it i'm going to go ahead and
click the center button
now this version of kodi is directly
this link goes
to the mayor site on cody.tv so this is
the absolute official version
of kodi 18.9 and now that it's finished
downloading i can recognize that because
it switched to a play button at the end
i'm going to go ahead and click the
center button one more time
scroll once to the right highlight the
word install and then click the center
button
now i'm going to click the center button
on the word done and i'm done with the
file link store so i'm going to go ahead
and click the home button on my remote
and i want to scroll back to the second
row again your apps and channels
i'm going to scroll once to the left and
then click the center button
on see all i'm going to scroll once to
the left
and then i'm going to take the next two
minutes to set up the vpn
if you already have a vpn if you're not
interested please just go ahead and skip
ahead in the video
so the first thing the vpn is going to
ask for is a username and password
you can get that by typing reviewvpn.com
deal in any browser or clicking on the
link in the description
we currently have an offer that will
save you 73 percent
which is exclusive to my store now part
of the reason i'm showing you this
process is because i recommend
changing a few settings within the iep
vanish interface i also want to point
out that i'm obfuscating this section
right here
and that's because it shows my true ip
address which you can think of as being
like your digital fingerprint
or your home address you're leaving that
fingerprint on
everything you touch online and that's
the main reason that you
want to use a service like this with
cody because you don't necessarily know
where those links are coming from and
having the ability to access the
additional content is
also a very nice feature so i'm going to
start out by scrolling all the way to
the upper right which is the cog wheel
over there i'm going to click the center
button on that i'm going to check this
first option here which says start
ipvanish and i'm going to scroll down to
split tunneling
and then click on that so you want to
use the vpn service with
third-party apps so think cinema hd
cyberflix
aos tv and cody but if you're happy with
the way that netflix
prime video hulu and youtube are working
just go ahead and check the box next to
that and they'll continue to work the
same way that they always have
so now i'm going to go ahead and click
the back button and the last option that
i'm going to check
is scramble so i'm going to go ahead and
check that and this will help if you
ever have trouble
connecting to the service i click the
back button one more time i'm going to
scroll over
highlight the word connect and then
click the center button on that i'll get
this pop up one time only i'm going to
scroll down
and then click the center button on ok
one of the things i love about this
service is it connects in just a couple
seconds and i can now show you this ip
address right here
because it is connected with ipvanish
and they're storing no logs of what i do
online
so this cannot be traced back to me it's
going to go ahead and click the home
button
and i'm going to scroll down to your
apps and channels one more time
i'm going to scroll once to the left
click the center button on see all i'm
going to scroll once to the left
here's cody i'm going to go ahead and
move it to the front
and let's run cody for the first time
i'm going to click the center button on
continue i'm going to click the center
button on allow
and we can see right here that it is
18.9
so the first thing that i'm going to do
and i'm going to try to slow down at
this point because i know that the kodi
interface
can be really confusing especially if
you're new to it
so the first section we want to click on
is this settings button right here
so let's go ahead and click the center
button now i want to scroll
all the way to the bottom right it says
system down there
so now that i'm there i'm going to go
ahead and click the center button
now i want to scroll down to where it
says add-ons right here
because we want to allow unknown sources
just like we did on our fire stick we
want to allow unknown sources
on cody and so i'm going to go ahead and
click the center button and approve this
pop-up by scrolling once to the left and
then clicking the center button on yes
so now we're done adjusting that setting
so i'm going to just click the back
button
and then i want to scroll over here to
the top left where it says
file manager so i'm going to go ahead
and click the center button on that
i'm going to scroll down once to where
it says add source
and then click the center button i'm
going to go ahead and click the center
button one more time where it says
none and here we are going to add
a url so the url that i am going to give
you
is for the xanax
build repository xanax is
arguably the most popular build many
people would say
xenon is the most popular build that
xenon is currently
having some issues where it's asking for
a username and password so essentially
right now
xenon is broken i'm sure it will be
fixed very
shortly but as of right now
and in my humble opinion xanax is the
way to go
with any kodi installs and we're gonna
do this by typing
http colon forward slash
forward slash xanax
slash repo so i still
have my dot com
so we need an o an m a slash
and then the word repo
right here and so now that i have that
typed i'm going to scroll over to the
word
ok and then click the center button on
it
now i can name it whatever i want so i
could change this to say
xanax but i'm just going to go ahead and
leave it on repo to speed this video
along
i'm going to scroll down and then click
on the word okay
so now we're done adjusting those
settings and i'm going to go ahead and
click on the back button
now i'm going to scroll once to the
right it's going to be add-ons
right here i'm going to go ahead and
click the center button on that
so i want to scroll down to where it
says install from zip
and we'll want to scroll down to
whatever we
named that source so in my case i left
it as repo
so let's go ahead and scroll down click
the snare button on that
and here we can see the xanax repo
zip so let's go ahead and click the
snare button on that what we're waiting
for right now
is a pop-up in that upper right hand
corner
we just got that so we're good to go so
at this point we want to scroll
up once and then click the center button
on install from repository
so we can see here that we have
the xanax repository right at the bottom
so let's go ahead and click the center
button on it
and this part was really confusing to me
when i first got into cody because it's
like
i'm using kodi for videos shouldn't i go
to video add-ons
the answer is no because currently we
are searching for a build wizard
which is considered a program add-on so
we're going to go
down to this section here and then click
the center button
here we see our xanax wizard so we want
to scroll
down to that and then click the center
button we want to click the center
button
on the word install over there and now
that it's done
installing we'll get this pop up here
we want to just go ahead and click the
center button on continue
we want to click the center button on
build menu
now you can honestly pick any host that
you want
i'm just going to go with host number
three because it was treating me
really well earlier i was getting some
great speeds and we're going to
pick a fresh install and then click the
center button on
it now we want to scroll once to the
left highlight the word continue and
then click the center button
now our download will automatically
start
and this is the section that i'm going
to go ahead and speed up for you guys
so once all the files are done
downloading we're going to see another
box pop
up that's very similar and it's going to
be installing
all those different files so we can see
in this case
that there are thousands and thousands
of files to install fortunately it only
takes a couple minutes but i am going to
fast forward
through this section also now that the
files are done
installing we are almost where we need
to be
at this point we're going to get the
option to reload profile or force close
you
always want to pick force close so let's
go ahead and click the center button
on that and then we just want to open
cody right back up again and we can
recognize that our install went
successfully because we see this
beautiful screen
right here and we get that little jiggly
music
so it's super happy so the only thing i
want to point out at this point
is you typically just want to leave cody
alone
after you install a build for about five
minutes because it's gonna start
updating all kinds of add-ons and that's
why it looks a little bit
different than what it did at the start
of the video those movies will start
populating up here
we can see that we have sections for tv
shows family
sports which is like an iptv paid
cable service there's an actual sports
section
a free tv section over here music
best with rd so this means realdobridge
which is a
paid service similar to the vpn but it
can
solve all your buffering issues and give
you access to the highest 4k
quality links it does that by giving you
premium access to
all of the best cyber lockers i hope you
found this video
helpful i would love it if you would
comment on what you think
are the best builds out on what you
think are the best
add-ons out like i said at the start of
the video
we do a lot of work in that area so it
would help us to know what your feedback
is
as to what is the absolute best right
now
if you found the video helpful please
give it a thumbs up
please subscribe to the channel and most
importantly
have an excellent day thank you
