How to Install Alvin Kodi Addon for Unlimited Movies & Shows

Last updated January 1, 2023 By James

In this guide, I will share how to install the Alvin addon on Kodi. Mac, Raspberry Pi, Windows, Android, iOS, and Android TV are some examples of Kodi-compatible devices. 

install alvin kodi addonWhat Is Alvin Addon? 

Alvin is one of the most popular Kodi addons for streaming movies and shows. It offers viewers an extensive collection of TV shows and movies of different genres. 

With a vast media library, this addon’s movie and TV show collection can keep you busy and entertained for a long time. Their media library is continuously updated, so you can always access in-demand content all the time. 

When I was using Alvin Addon, I did not experience much buffering. However, it might differ depending on your internet connection and other factors. 

It is a lightweight addon that comes with intuitive menus. Users won’t have problems selecting videos, subtitles, or other features. 

Alvin addon is usually preloaded with Kodi builds.

Attention KODI Users: Read before you continue

Kodi is an excellent platform for streaming movies, TV shows, and sports, but it's important to remember that streaming copyrighted content can get you into legal trouble. Your IP address 3.17.249.235 is exposed to everyone. You should use a reliable Kodi VPN while streaming to protect yourself online. A VPN will keep your streaming activities private and bypass government surveillance and geo-restrictions.

I use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure Kodi VPN out there. It's easy to install on any device, including Amazon FireStick. Plus, it offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, and if you sign up for an annual plan, you get 3 extra months free.

Is Alvin Kodi Addon Safe? 

Alvin Kodi Addon is an unofficial addon that uses a third-party repository. The third-party repository is named Octopus. 

Users might be skeptical about using third-party addons because of malware. However, when I was installing Alvin Addon on Kodi, I did not experience any signs of malware. 

I used an online antivirus service named Total Virus to scan its repository. Out of 89 security vendors, only two flagged the repository as malicious. Below is the image of the result of the antivirus scan.

Is Alvin Kodi Addon legal? 

For the legality part, we are FireStickHow can’t verify if the addon is legal or not. But, we don’t support copyright violation and users installing illegal addons. 

To be more cautious when using any third-party Kodi addon, you may want to use a VPN. With a VPN, you can hide your streaming activities from everyone. 

I recommend ExpressVPN for maximum anonymity and cybersecurity. In addition, the VPN technology makes it impossible for other internet users to view your streaming data.

Features of Alvin Addon 

Alvin has many intuitive features that make it stand out from other video addons. 

  • Alvin Addon has a search feature where users can easily search for movies instead of scrolling through suggestions.
  • You can access documentaries, new movies, episodes, and TV shows.
  • The addon also has box sets and a tool section where you can modify some addon settings. 

How to Install Alvin Kodi Addon 

The installation process is more complex for a third-party addon than an official addon. Since it is a bit complicated, I divided the process into three to make it easier for you. 

  • Part 1: Enable Unknown Sources
  • Part 2: Install the Alvin Addon repository
  • Part 3: Install Alvin Kodi Addon 

Let’s start!

Part 1: Enable Unknown Sources 

The first step when installing a third-party addon is to allow apps to be installed from unknown sources. To enable this setting, follow the steps below. 

1. Open Kodi. 

2. Select Settings. It is on the top left side.

3. Select Systems. You will see the System icon at the lower part of the screen.

Note: you may not need to enable Unknown Sources settings if it is already flipped to the right. Once you complete this, you can proceed to the other steps below. 

Part 2: Install Repository 

When you have enabled the setting above, you are now allowed to install third-party addons on Kodi. Once this is done, the next thing you should do is install the third-party repository called Octopus on Kodi. 

To do this, follow the steps below. 

1. Go to Settings again.

So, this is how the Alvin Kodi addon is installed.

It looks like you are all set to start watching your favorite content. However, do not forget that all your streaming activities and online identity are unprotected and exposed to your Government and your ISP. In addition, streaming with third-party services may cause legal trouble.

Thankfully, you can easily protect yourself and go invisible from your Government and ISP by using a VPN. Whenever I stream with Kodi, I always connect to ExpressVPN and recommend the same to you.

ExpressVPN is the fastest and the most streaming-friendly VPN. It is also the most secure VPN.

With ExpressVPN, you get a 30-day money-back guarantee as well. So if you do not like the service (I don't see why), you will get a full refund within 30 days.

Please remember that we encourage you to use a VPN to maintain your privacy. We do not condone breaking copyright laws.

Before you start using Kodi for streaming, here is how you can protect yourself with ExpressVPN:

Step 1: Sign up for ExpressVPN Here

Step 2: Download ExpressVPN on your device by clicking HERE

Step 3: Open the ExpressVPN app on your device. Sign in with your account. Click the connect/power button to connect to the VPN
