One of the best parts about XBMC, thekickass customizable media center software, is its web app-like extensions.
Here’s how to install add-ons from within the XBMC repository, as well as add-ons from outside sources.
There are a few different places it’s possible for you to get add-ons, calledrepsitories.
All you gotta do is open up XBMC and head to System > Add-Ons > Get Add-Ons.
At this point, your only choice will be “XBMC.org Add-ons” (the main repository).
Within these categories, you’ll find tons of add-ons you’re able to choose from.
From there, hit the “Install” button to plant the add-on.

To install them, you’ll need to add their repositories.
To install a third-party repository, just download its zip file from that wiki page to your setup.
Then, in XBMC, head to System > Add-Ons and click “Install from zip file”.
Navigate to the zip file on your machine, and select Install.
And those are just the ones that come with XBMC.
However, due to DRM and other issues, this is more difficult than it sounds.

Our recommendation: These add-ons probably aren’t worth the trouble.
Use the Chromecast for these services, and then use XBMC for the rest.
Install them from ZIP files and you’ll find them in Video Add-Ons.
They are, essentially, insanely huge libraries of just about anything you could ever imagine.
you’re free to further configure how it works in its controls.
Try a bunch out and find one that you like!
