How to Install the Odin Kodi Addon [September 2023]

Last Updated on August 28, 2023 by Tim Wells

In this article, we’ll explore the Odin Kodi addon. We’ll review it and give you an idea of what you can expect when you install it. Then, we’ll cover how to install Odin on your NVIDIA Shield, Chromecast, FireStick, and Android TV Box.

Since the Odin Kodi addon isn’t available in Team Kodi’s official repository, you might be wondering whether it’s safe or legal.

We’ll address these questions and more as we examine this popular live-streaming addon.

This guide offers a step-by-step tutorial with screenshots to help you through the installation process. All screenshots are from a Chromecast with Google TV. 

However, the process is identical on other devices such as the Amazon Fire TV Stick, NVIDIA Shield TV, Windows PC, and smart televisions running Android TV and Google TV.

What is the Odin Kodi Addon?

The Odin Kodi addon is a video streaming addon that offers a vast collection of on-demand content, such as movies, TV shows, documentaries, and more, in 1080 and 4K resolutions.

It is part of the Narcacist Wizard repository and is compatible with Kodi versions 19 Matrix and 20 Nexus. Other addons in this repository are the Asgard addon and Magic Dragon.

Odin provides an extensive library of video content and works well when paired with Real Debrid. However, it does not support Trakt integration at this time.

The main categories and sections in Odin include:

• Authorize Debrid
• New Releases
• Odin Scrapers
• 1080p Section
• 4K Movies
• 4K TV Shows
• 4K Wildlife
• 4K A-Z Movies
• 4K Box Sets

Odin is a popular choice for binge-watching and offers an extensive range of content to choose from.

Is the Odin Kodi Addon Safe?

Before installing the Odin Kodi addon, it’s a good idea to scan their repository URL to make sure there are no suspicious files or malware. As mentioned earlier, Odin is found in the Narcacist’s Wizard repository.

You can do that for free with a service called VirusTotal.

This screenshot of the scan results shows that one security vendor reported the URL as malicious, but everone else did not find anything suspicious.

As with all third-party addons, we recommend caution!

During the installation process (scroll down!), we’ll see that Kodi warns users that these third-party add-ons will be given access to personal data stored on the device.

Therefore, I recommend using a VPN to protect your online activity from being tracked by your Internet Service Provider.

After installing a VPN, you can follow the steps to install the Odin Kodi Addon through their repository.

How to Install the Odin Kodi Addon

In this tutorial, we will start with a clean installation of Kodi 20 Nexus and install the Odin addon.

Since this is a clean install of Kodi, I haven’t installed any other addons on this particular device or even set up my media library. 

Even if this is the only thing you want to use Kodi for, follow these instructions, and you’ll be up and running with Odin in only a few minutes.

Step 1: Enable Addons from Unknown Sources

With every new installation, Team Kodi includes its official repository. It contains hundreds of different addons to change the look & feel and add new video sources, backgrounds, or utilities like checking the Kodi log files.

It’s enough to give you a good start.

Unfortunately, many popular addons aren’t in the official Kodi repository. We first need to enable addons from unknown sources to install addons from other repositories.

First, go to the Settings menu. You can get there from the gear icon on the left-hand menu or the Add-ons tab. 

Click on System, as shown below.

Then, on the Settings/System menu, scroll down to the Add-ons section.

I’m in the Standard menu settings, as seen in the image below. But even the Basic level of settings will allow you to enable Unknown Sources, so you don’t need to change anything.

A menu box will appear as soon as you click on the Unknown Sources toggle switch.

Kodi add-ons inherit the same rights and permissions as Kodi itself. This includes access to your device’s files and network connections. 

Even if you don’t store personal data on your Kodi box, never install an add-on you don’t trust.

Once you click Yes on that message box, the toggle switch turns white.

Then you’re able to install Odin or any other unofficial Kodi addon.

Step 2: Add The Narcacist’s Wizard File Source

Installing the Odin addon is a three-part process. 

First, we need to add the location of the Narcacist’s Wizard repository file before we can install Odin.

First, go to the Settings/System menu and click on the File Manager icon.

Most of the time, we use the File Manager screen to point Kodi to the locations of our media library. This time, we will tell it where the repository file is located.

Click on Add Source to continue.

Highlight <None> and click on it to add a custom source.

This screen lets you input a specific file path on your device or a network. We will use the URL for the Narcacist’s official website.

Type in the following URL and click OK:

http://narcacist.com/repo

Next, create a name for this media source. This can be anything you want, so I named mine ‘Narcacist.’

Click OK to continue.

Once you type in the URL location and source name, click OK to finish this step.

Step 3: Install The Narcacist’s Wizard Repository from Zip File

In the previous section, we told Kodi where to find the Narcacist’s Wizard repository file. 

Now let’s go ahead and install it.

Go back to the System menu and click on the Add-ons icon.

Next, click Install From Zip File.

Depending on the version of Kodi you’re running, you may see a popup window reminding you that any add-ons installed from a zip file will not auto-update.

This means you will need to manually update them from time to time.

Click Yes to close that popup box.

The next window shows all of the standard Kodi locations and any custom file locations you’ve specified on that particular device. For example, if you have a network file share, it will be listed here.

Scroll down until you see the source name you entered in the previous section.

Click on it to continue.

Then click on the repository.NarcacistWizard zip file. 

Don’t worry if the version number appears slightly different than you see below. Kodi will automatically pull the latest version.

Kodi will take you back to the main Add-ons menu.

After a few seconds, you’ll get a message box that the Narcacist’s Wizard repository has been installed.

Step 4: Install the Odin Addon from the Repository

The final step is to install the Odin addon itself.

Click Install From Repository to continue.

As I mentioned, I’m installing Odin on a clean install of Kodi 20 Nexus. The only repositories I have on this device are the official Kodi repository and the one we just installed.

You may have a lot more repositories on your system.

Scroll down until you see the Narcacist’s Wizard Repository and click on it.

This brings you to the sub-menu with several different categories of addons.

Odin is in the Video Add-ons section, so click on it to continue.

Scroll down until you see Odin, and click on it to continue.

This brings you to the addon detail page, which looks like app detail pages in the Google Play Store or Aptoide TV. It shows you more details, like any different available versions of the addon and any dependencies that will be installed along with the addon.

Click Install to continue.

Depending on what else you’ve installed, you may have some additional addons that need to be installed as well.

Click OK to continue.

After a few seconds, you’ll see a popup message that the Odin Add-on has been installed.

To launch Odin, go to the Add-ons tab on the left-side menu and click on the Odin icon.
