This guide provides instructions for installing the Live Hub addon on Kodi 17 Krypton. Please note: Kodi 17 Krypton is a significantly outdated version, and many addons, including Live Hub, are no longer compatible or actively maintained. Continuing to use such an old version exposes you to security risks and limits access to updated content and features. It is strongly recommended to upgrade to a more current Kodi version.

However, if you must install Live Hub on Kodi 17 Krypton for specific reasons, proceed with caution and understand the inherent risks. This guide is provided for informational purposes only. We do not endorse the use of outdated software or addons that may contain malicious code.

Prerequisites

Before beginning the installation, ensure you have:

• Kodi 17 Krypton: This guide specifically addresses this outdated version.
• A stable internet connection: The installation process requires downloading files.
• An understanding of Kodi's interface: Basic familiarity with navigating Kodi menus is necessary.

Installation Steps

This installation process involves enabling unknown sources, a security setting within Kodi. Proceed with caution, as enabling unknown sources can introduce security vulnerabilities if not managed properly.

1. Enable Unknown Sources: Navigate to Kodi's settings (usually a gear icon). Then go to System Settings -> Add-ons -> Unknown Sources and toggle it to "On." Confirm any warning messages.

2. Add a Source: Back in the main Kodi menu, go to System -> File Manager -> Add Source. Click <None>. In the URL field, accurately type the Live Hub repository URL (Note: Since Live Hub is likely outdated, finding a functional repository URL may be difficult or impossible). Give the source a name (e.g., "Live Hub Repo"). Click "OK."

3. Install from Zip File: Return to the Kodi home screen. Go to Add-ons -> Install from zip file. Select the source you just added ("Live Hub Repo"). Locate and select the zip file containing the Live Hub repository. Wait for the notification indicating successful installation.

4. Install from Repository: Navigate to Add-ons -> Install from repository. Select the Live Hub repository you just added. Go to Video add-ons (or the relevant category where Live Hub is listed). Find Live Hub and select it. Click "Install."

5. Wait for Installation: Allow time for all necessary files to download and install. You will receive notifications of successful installations.

Post-Installation

After installation, you should find Live Hub listed in your Kodi video addons. However, due to the age of Kodi 17 Krypton and the likely lack of maintenance for Live Hub, functionality is not guaranteed. You may encounter issues with broken links, outdated streams, and other problems.
