How to Install Genocide Addon on Kodi (Debrid Only)

The following tutorial shows how to install the Genocide Addon on the latest version of Kodi.

Genocide is a “debrid only” add-on that can be installed from The Chains Repository. This add-on has been recently updated to v6.8.8 and has earned a spot on our best Kodi add-ons list.

In order to use Genocide you must integrate a premium debrid service like Real-Debrid, Premiumize, or TorBox to stream content. We provide instructions for Real-Debrid integration following the installation steps.

In the tutorial below we are using an Amazon Firestick 4K Max to install the Genocide add-on. These same steps also work for those using Fire TVs, Android TV/Google TV boxes, and any device compatible with the Kodi software.

How to Install Genocide Kodi Addon

• Launch Kodi
• Click the settings icon  

• Click System

• Hover over Add-ons menu item and turn on Unknown sources if not already on

• Click Yes

• Click back on remote to go back to the System page
• Select File Manager

• Click Add source

• Click <None>

• Type the following URL exactly how it is listed here – https://unhingedthemes.github.io and click OK.

• Type “repo” or any other name you would like to identify this source as and click OK

• Click the back button on your remote until you are on the System screen. Then click Add-ons

• Click Install from zip file

• Select “repo” or whatever you named the media source in the previous step

• Click the zip file URL – repository.chainsrepo.zip and click OK.

• Wait for the “Chains Repository Add-on installed” message to appear

• Next click Install from repository

• Click Chains Repository

• Scroll down and select Video add-ons

• Select Genocide

• Click Install

• Wait a minute or two for the add-on to fully install

• Then go back to the Home screen of Kodi and select Add-ons, then choose Genocide

• Read the ChangeLog if you prefer and click the back button on your remote

• You have successfully installed the Genocide add-on!

Installation is now complete but we are not done yet. As noted above, users must integrate a premium debrid service which we provide instructions for below.

How to Integrate Real-Debrid

In order to stream content from Genocide, we must first authorize a debrid service. In this instance we are integrating Real-Debrid but this process will also work for AllDebrid, Premiumize, and more.

1. From the main menu, select Tools.

2. Click Settings: Accounts

3. Hover over Accounts on the left menu and click Authorize under Real-Debrid.

4. You are then provided with a real-debrid authorization code.

5. Visit real-debrid.com/device and enter the provided code.

6. Return to Kodi and you should notice your Real-Debrid account is now logged in.

Genocide Add-on Features & Details

The Genocide add-on should work very well on any Kodi device after you’ve paired a premium debrid service. There are several categories available which include Genocide Movies, Genocide Shows, Boxset Collections, Streaming Apps, Trakt, Tools, Search, and more.

Genocide Addon Review

Here’s what our testing revealed about the long-standing ‘Genocide’ add-on:

What We Like

• Recent v6.8.8 update added new scraper modules including Aiostreams and Mediafusion
• Debrid-only means every working link pulls from premium cached sources
• Clean interface without the clutter found on some older Kodi add-ons
• Real-Debrid integration authorizes in under a minute
• Main menu includes Movies, Shows, Boxset Collections, Streaming Apps, Trakt, Tools, and Search
• Trakt integration works well
• Boxset Collections folder is a unique add-on category

What We Don’t Like

• Third-party source with no verified licensing for content
• Repository URL has changed in past years, which can break installs
• Chains Repository is hosted on GitHub Pages, which could be taken down at any time
• Installation process is not friendly for first-time Kodi users
• Requires a paid debrid subscription – zero free links are available

Is Genocide Addon Legal?

It’s impossible for TROYPOINT to determine whether these unverified add-ons like ‘Genocide’ hold the proper licensing.

TROYPOINT recommends only accessing media not protected by copyright such as those that fall under Public Domain status.

The end-user is responsible for all content accessed through unverified apps. For verified options, see our list of legal streaming apps.

Is it Safe to Use?

Before using this add-on it is important to scan their repository URL with VirusTotal. Here is the screenshot of the scan results.

While VirusTotal did not find any suspicious files within The Chains Repository URL, we should always protect ourselves when streaming content from unverified 3rd party add-ons.

The best way to protect yourself is with our #1 Ranked VPN Provider. A VPN will provide you with an anonymous connection while using questionable add-ons such as this. See our VPN on Firestick tutorial for more information.
