How to Install Base 19 Kodi Addon for Limitless Streaming

This post will show you how to install Base 19 Kodi addon. This article addresses addon description, safety & legality matters, installation instructions, usage, and everything in between. Furthermore, the guide checks out for all the Kodi-supported devices, including FireStick, PC, Mac, Linux, Nvidia Shield, Android, etc. 

What Is Base 19 Addon

Made by a popular Kodi third-party addon developer, BReeZz, Base 19 is your one-stop place to watch TV series, films, and more. If you have a paid Real Debrid account, you can enjoy more with Base 19, like 4K content, sports replays, documentaries, music, etc.

However, Base 19 also entertains users who want to watch stuff for free by providing dedicated sections like Movies, TV Shows, and more. Trakt support lets you sync your watch history in a snap.

Base 19 deserves a spot amongst the top-notch video addons available on THE CREW REPOSITORY. TV shows, films, music, documentaries, and you name it. Everything is available on the Base 19 Kodi addon.

Is Base 19 Safe?

Base 19 isn’t available on Kodi’s official repo like any third-party addon. So, can you trust Base 19 in terms of safety?  Base 19 gave me a safe and sound impression by the look and feel. But that doesn’t mean you can completely trust it. Unfortunately, I don’t have the authority to pass Base 19 as a completely safe addon for your device.

However, I ran a quick virus diagnostic on the zip file of THE CREW REPOSITORY. The results were quite pleasing – check it out:

Is Base 19 Legal?

Base 19 doesn’t host any content available on it. Instead, it scrapes the links from the World Wide Web to serve you with different content. 

And as we can’t analyze the links provided by Base 19, I can’t say if it’s legal or illegal. The solution? Use ExpressVPN whenever you are streaming something via Base 19. ExpressVPN will make sure your online streaming activities are hidden from anyone who might be looking.

Features of Base 19 Kodi Addon

Wait! It looks like you are all set to start watching your favorite content on Kodi. But have you protected your online identity yet? You are under constant surveillance by the Government and ISP. They use your IP address 3.17.249.235 to track you. Streaming free or copyrighted videos may get you into legal trouble.

Thankfully, you can use a VPN to easily protect your privacy and go invisible from your Government and ISP. I use and recommend ExpressVPN with Kodi.

ExpressVPN is the fastest, most secure, and streaming-friendly VPN. It is easy to install and set up on any Kodi device, including FireStick, Smartphones, PCs, and more.

ExpressVPN, offers an unconditional 30-day money-back guarantee. So, if you do not like the service (I don't see why), you can get a full refund within 30 days.

Please remember that we encourage you to use a VPN to maintain your privacy. However, 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

Great! You have successfully secured yourself with the best Kodi VPN.

TV Shows feature folders similar to the Movies tab like Popular, On The Air, New Episodes, Years, Genre, Networks, and more.

So, if you want to check out new episodes of TV shows, open the New Episodes section.

One of the most important features you get with BASE19 is Search.
