With trakt.tv support, Elysium lets you keep track of the episodes and shows you’ve watched, then share watch-lists with your friends. Get the most out of this Kodi TV addon with its Real Debrid integration for more available streams to your favorite shows.

Elysium Kodi TV Addon Install Preparation

Safeguard Your Identity and Data

While watching the movies and TV shows available in Elysium, you really should use a top tier VPN for anonymity and privacy. IPVanish has proven the best VPN for Kodi users. They guarantee your anonymity while using their VPN service. Government agencies and many privately sponsored agencies are really cracking down on online piracy lately. IPVanish also provides the highest speeds available in a VPN with thousands of servers all over the globe.

IPVanish even makes free Fire TV and Fire Stick apps as well! They are very quickly becoming an indespensible VPN for Kodi users. Also, using the links we provide to their service gives you a 60% discount! This makes you invisible online (even browsing from Ashburn, VA) for just $4 and change each month!

Allow Unofficial Kodi TV Addons

Since the release of Kodi 17 (code name: Krypton), the XBMC / Kodi Foundation requires that you enable the use of Unknown sources directly within Kodi’s settings. Without toggling this setting to allow unofficial TV addons, Kodi makes installing Elysium or even the Ares Wizard impossible. If you don’t know how to do this, follow our very simple and quick guide to Enable Kodi Unknown Sources. I promise we’ll be here when you get back, and it won’t take but a moment. If you follow the video in that article, you’ll also have the Ares Repo installed and ready to go! If so, then skip ahead to the Ares Wizard Installation section when you return.

Repo Sources for Advanced Users

If you’re a seasoned Kodi TV addons installer with repository and wizard experience, then you likely only require the repo source. The Noobs and Nerds repo located at https://noobsandnerds.com/portal/ hosts Elysium. In this article, however, we’ll use the Ares Wizard to install Elysium, as the Ares Wizard offers to install the private Elysium Kodi TV addon repo. This will ensure you receive the most recent updates immediately upon release. The Ares Project repository is hosted at http://ares-repo.eu. The Ares Wizard is located within the Program add-ons directory of the repo.

Keep in mind that XBMC / Kodi Foundation support considers the Elysium Kodi TV addon unofficial. They won’t help with questions concerning unofficial Kodi TV addons.

We’ll help if we can, then ask you for a cup of coffee to help keep our eyes open!
