How to Install Diamond Kodi Build

This guide will show you how to install the Diamond Build on Kodi. This build was formerly known as Diamond Dust Build.

Diamond Kodi build is one of the finest Kodi builds presently. This build has an attractive interface that perfectly mixes visual appeal and functionality. The clutter-free design and the neat layout allow for incredible ease of use.

This build offers a handful of, but quality video addons. There are options to stream Live TV, Sports and on-demand content (movies and shows). The small size of the build ensures smooth performance on Amazon FireStick and other low-RAM streaming devices.

Diamond Build is a repackaged version of the popular Diamond Dust Kodi build. The new build looks more polished and is more stable.

Our list of best Kodi builds would not have been complete without the Diamond Dust Kodi build.

How to use Diamond Dust Kodi Build and a Quick Overview

In the last step of the installation process, you forced closed Kodi for the changes to apply. To access the build, you now need to open Kodi again. The new interface of Kodi will load up with the Diamond Build.

Note: When you open Diamond Kodi build for the first time, give it a few minutes to run all the necessary updates. During the update process, the build will seem slow. Therefore, it is best to start using the build only when all the updates are complete

Following is the main screen of the Diamond Kodi Build interface:

It has an all-too-familiar layout comprising of Menu and Submenu horizontal stripes. Following are the main menu items you can use for streaming:

• Movies
• TV Shows
• LIB/VOD
• News Live
• 24/7 Live
• Sports
• Just Sexy

Upon selecting a main menu option, the related add-ons are displayed in the submenu. The featured content for the category appears above the main menu. This allows you to pick the titles easily. If the content you want to watch does not appear on the main screen, go to SET/ADD > Video Add-ons and lookup for the content within the individual add-ons.

Diamond Kodi build has some popular addons that come preinstalled, such as 7of9, cCloud TV, Loki, MTB’s Greased Lightning, The Magic Dragon, Seren, etc.

In the end…

Let me give you my two-cents on the Diamond Build for Kodi. This build has a sleek, easy to use interface. Important elements that let you get started quickly are thoughtfully placed on the main screen of this build. Movies, Shows, Live TV, etc. are there for the easy picking.

Diamond Kodi build does not have a lot of preinstalled addons. That’s how they have managed to keep the build size small. The good thing is you miss nothing out. The developers have picked the addons that really matter. Live TV, Sports, On-demand Movies & Shows, all the streaming options are available. Diamond is one of the best Kodi builds to have.
