Install Adult Only Hub AddOn on your Kodi device

Adult Only Hub is another top add-on from the Entertainment Repo stable as you can see by the title its a strictly over 18 add-on . This add-on has been around for years since i joined the Kodi Community it is linked to the best Adult scene release websites. Content from sites such as Adult Bay, Naughty Blog and Naked XXX.

Due to the nature of this add-on will not post any photos from the sections within the add-on

This is easily the best Adult Entertainment Add-on in Kodi.

Adult Only Hub so is always the fastest in getting all the new Adult movie and DVD releases and is packed with content.

It is best paired with Real Debrid or All Debrid to get the very best out of this add-on. I covered in a previous blog about the benefits of Real Debrid in Kodi. That blog can be read HERE

But quick recap

Real Debrid is an awesome unrestricted multihoster. An unrestricted downloader allows you to download instantly at the best of your internet speed any files available on download platforms such as Uptobox and many others without any restrictions. This gives you great benefits in Kodi giving you premium hosters on a selection of addons.

Whats this mean to you? it means premium links that not every kodi user is using so you will benefit from fast and better quality links, 1080p 5.1 sound.

Right lets get down to the nitty gritty and tell you how to get this add-on on your device.

Download the Entertainment Repo Zip and save to a location on your Kodi device or Android TV Box
Open Kodi
Select SYSTEM
Select Add-Ons
Select Install from zip file
Go to where you downloaded the zip in the first step and select repository.entertainmentrepo-x.x.zip
Wait for Add-on enabled notification
The Entertainment Repo is now installed and you can browse the great addons inside.

Or via Fusion following the method below

Step 1. Select System.

Step 2. Select Add-ons

Step 3. Select Install from Zip.

Step 4. Select Fusion.

Step 5. Select xbmc-repos.

Step 6. Select English.

Step 7. Scroll down and select Entertainmentrepo.backup 1.12 zip

Then wait for enabled notification.

Once The new repo is installed then

Kodi just launched a completely redesigned website last night that is making things difficult for those trying to sideload Kodi onto an Amazon Fire TV or Fire TV Stick using ES File Explorer. The new modern Kodi site is making it difficult to download the Kodi APK using ES File Explorer’s rudimentary web browsing capabilities. Nate from the Kodi team asked me to look into the issue and post a solution if I find one, so here’s an explanation of what’s happening, as well as a very simple workaround.

Before getting into things, it’s worth mentioning right of the bat that you can select the Kodi download link with my Downloader app just fine on Kodi’s new website, and it’s by far an easier way to navigate a website and download an APK on the Fire TV than ES File Explorer. The navigation menu on the Kodi site is still an issue, but just select the Android link lower on the home page to get to the download page and you’ll be installing Kodi in seconds.

If you’re adamant in still using ES File Explorer, the issue lies with the app’s inability to recognize some links on the new Kodi site as valid links. There is a slight issue with Kodi’s navigation menu, but the real issue comes when you try to select the Android link on Kodi’s download page. ES File Explorer simply will not highlight the link for you to select it.

The workaround is simple. Just as you would if you were using my Downloader app, ignore the navigation menu on Kodi’s site completely and scroll down to the “Android” link in the “Kodi runs on just about anything” section of the home page. Selecting that will take you to the download page.

On the Kodi download page, scroll down past the “Choose your weapon” section, where you normally would select Android but currently cannot. Select the “here” link in the “Older Releases” section of the download page.

Even though this area is meant to be a place to access older versions of Kodi, you can also download the latest version from here. So just select “android” then “arm” and pick the latest version of Kodi to download the APK.

Follow me on Twitter (@elias) and Instagram (@esaba) to see what I'm up to.

ShareTweetShare+1John Smithsays:April 2, 2017 at 3:05 pm

The link to older versions is not being highlighted either.

AFTVnewssays:April 3, 2017 at 5:44 am

You just need to play around with the up, down, left, right buttons on the remote until the highlighter goes where you want.

You really should just use the Downloader app instead though.

Maxsays:April 12, 2017 at 3:04 pm

After I selected android, I’m trying to click on the latest version of KODI but nothing is happening. I’m stuck here.
Also, when using downloader app, after putting in URL ( I was trying to use troypoint ) it just keeps saying connecting but download never begins. I know my connection is good. Any suggestions?

Nikkisays:April 12, 2017 at 3:51 pm

Ditto, help. Lol

Anna Jakubczaksays:April 13, 2017 at 9:37 pm

Having same problem….just connecting forever

Melissasays:April 30, 2017 at 1:27 pm

Same thing. Never begins download on downloader. Any help developer?

Natasha Nsays:June 13, 2017 at 4:36 pm

Once you’re hovered over the latest version, click all the way to the left, all the way down and then all the way to the right. Click “More” then “Open in Browser” then a pop up will show, click “ES Downloader” then “just once”

Joshua S Taylorsays:May 23, 2018 at 1:21 am

When I click on any link on simplykodi.com/downloads nothing happens. It stays stuck on the page not loading links

Ashleysays:May 6, 2017 at 3:31 pm

I’ve been playing with this app on downloader and es for weeks. Still nothing. I went to the older version, the open in browser, everything. NOTHING WORKS! Can someone please help! This is frustrating

Monique Jinsays:June 2, 2017 at 3:01 am

Mine keeps saying unsupported browser link no matter what i do..uggg help please

Juliette Sandovalsays:June 2, 2017 at 9:02 pm

Have the same problem, have you got it resolved?

Wynnette Thomassays:September 1, 2017 at 11:23 am

I have the same problem please pop-up ads.

Hersays:June 28, 2017 at 2:03 pm

I used the Dowloader App and after going through the process of downloading in ended with “X App not installed”

Now what?

Dianesays:July 10, 2017 at 8:28 pm

Same Problem! Did you find a solution?

Kendrasays:July 8, 2017 at 7:26 pm

I have the 17 1 version highlighted but no download is happening

McKennasays:July 29, 2017 at 12:35 pm

Go to old then click the newest one it will download

ChelChelsays:April 7, 2017 at 9:44 pm

I am a complete newbie and had a hard time but it finally worked. I kept backing out and going to downloads and finally was able to install. The only instructions I found were with ES.

Brandonsays:April 13, 2017 at 2:25 pm

You need to go to the bottom right of the screen where the three dots are and select open in new browser! Then download from there :)

Jillsays:April 16, 2017 at 11:45 am

Thanks!!!!!!

baccusssays:April 20, 2017 at 10:53 am

I was trying install fire stick kodi my husband insist on clicking the okay button now i’m trying to delete and go back but no lock please help

Venussays:May 9, 2017 at 2:57 am

That actually worked for me….just kept pressing select until it downloaded…

Angel Slatesays:August 3, 2017 at 7:25 pm

Thank you!!

Marksays:August 26, 2017 at 10:30 pm

Ok I just got it open/working…used the downloader. But I have closed Kodi and its not showing up on my firestick home page. How do I get it on there after downloading ? Thanks in advance

Donna D Newmansays:April 2, 2017 at 3:55 pm

Thank you, but it’s not working, Amazon has definitely blocked everything, any other recommendations.

/u/kilnvideo - firetv.reddit.comsays:April 2, 2017 at 8:11 pm

Amazon has nothing to do with this.

It’s only an issue between the es file explorer web browser and the Kodi website.

This article already includes a better solution than es ever was to begin with.

virgogirl63says:April 3, 2017 at 2:51 pm

Hi. Same here I have an old firestick. keeps telling me to Purchase where it says get to open Es or Download.. Did you find any solution. Do we really have to keep buying these gadgets for upgrades?

Larry Bernandezsays:April 25, 2017 at 12:13 am

It says purchase but you’re not purchasing it. You’re just adding it. It don’t charge you regardless of what it says. This website will make it easier then trying to find kodi to add it.
http://htpcbeginner.com/aftv
From there you should get what you need to get kodi

Randysays:April 27, 2017 at 8:52 pm

All you have to do just in case some haven’t found a solution is keep pressing the button until the dialogue box pops up like before. Before they updated i had to press on arm after i high lighted it like 20 times or so.

Y314Ksays:April 2, 2017 at 4:36 pm

And this is why I still install AppStarter on every AFTV(S) device I use/help with. Even without the HOME button option. It makes managing Kodi & SPMC a breeze.

Petesays:April 3, 2017 at 2:19 am

The downloader app is by far the easiest and quickest method, hands down.

bombosays:April 3, 2017 at 4:12 am

One question friends, I have the fire tv one with OS 5.2.1.2 and I could not find a way to put kodi on my input screen, is there any way?

AFTVnewssays:April 3, 2017 at 5:42 am

See here: http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-get-kodi-to-show-up-on-the-home-screen-of-a-fire-tv-or-fire-tv-stick/

Gdroid666says:April 3, 2017 at 8:32 am

I could never get ES to work right ever even before this
They even made the phone version almost totally unuseable now too with ads lock screen ads etc.
And nobody wants to use krypton either
So many once great apps are just turning to crap with each successive update these days

William Howellsays:April 3, 2017 at 10:09 am

I just downloaded your app and when I input http://kodi.tv and press download nothing happens, it just keeps working. Why is it that improvements seem to screw things.

AFTVnewssays:April 3, 2017 at 11:00 am

Kodi’s site is having issues today. Try entering this direct download URL for Kodi 17.1 (latest): http://bit.ly/kodi171

Brooklynsays:

Why does kodi locks download free

April 3, 2017 at 5:57 pm

I tried that link but my fire stick says “PARSE ERROR”

Y314Ksays:April 4, 2017 at 7:10 am

Are you trying to install Krypton aka v17 & above on FireOS 3 FW. That won’t work. You need to stick to Jarvis aka v16.1 if you have not upgraded to FireOS 5. Or you will get the parsing error when trying to install an app made for Lollipop aka Android 5 or above.

Brooklynsays:April 4, 2017 at 1:37 pm

Unfortunately Kodi doesn’t have a valid link to Jarvis 16.1.

Y314Ksays:April 4, 2017 at 5:49 pm

They still have the old files there. Just a bit more hidden. This is a direct link to the last Jarvis aka v16.1 directly from Kodi.TV

http://bit.ly/2ozyISt

Richsays:July 1, 2017 at 2:17 pm

Can’t thank you enough.the Jarvis 16.1 worked after repeated failed 17.1 attempts.just backtracked through old files.
Thx
Rich

Keith Robertssays:April 4, 2017 at 12:58 pm

Worked a treat thanks.

Brooklynsays:April 4, 2017 at 1:40 pm

I figured it out. I had restore my FS back to factory settings then download Downloader and install 17.1.

Xsays:April 4, 2017 at 4:39 pm

THANK YOU , es file is being deleted RIGHT now!

Hoppingturtlesays:April 7, 2017 at 5:48 pm

The instructions do work. However, you will NOT see the download window right away. Click on the file, wait about 1-2 minutes and then click the “back” button. You should now see the download screen.

Jonsays:April 8, 2017 at 12:45 pm

In ES Prompt for HTTP.. enter
https://kodi.tv/download/852

Jaysays:April 8, 2017 at 2:11 pm

You can also get kodi 16.1 zip and apk from this source
http://htpcbeginner.com/aftv

Pulse Sky Q build doesn’t work with Krypton 17.1, so stick with Kodi Jarvis 16.1 if you want to use that.

Maxsays:April 12, 2017 at 3:31 pm

Are you putting this in downloaded or es explorer?

Jay Doddssays:May 9, 2017 at 5:32 am

Third line down “Kodi 16.1”. Use either ZIP mirror #3 or APK mirror 3 but the idea is, that if one doesn’t work, you just try another mirror.

Maxsays:April 12, 2017 at 3:31 pm

Are you putting this in downloader or es explorer?

Jay Doddssays:May 9, 2017 at 5:29 am

ES Explorer. You can navigate to the mirrors using Firestick remote easily.

J. Chandlersays:April 9, 2017 at 8:10 pm

Given the VERY specific questions and screen shots you’ve provided, it worked perfectly for me. MANY thanks!

Dougsays:April 11, 2017 at 5:57 am

When I click on the download from the home screen after entering the url all it does is pop up a window saying connecting but never loads, any suggestions?

Maxsays:April 12, 2017 at 3:12 pm

I’m having same problem. I’ve tried different URL’s with no luck. They must be having problems with the new site

juliasays:April 11, 2017 at 12:54 pm

took a minute to really understand . the pictures on this page are really blurry. but this did work. i had reset my firestick thinking i did something wrong.

If you are having issues, save the following as your bookmark in ES File:

This should work!

Delilahsays:May 28, 2017 at 8:21 pm

I got to the part where I was able to click download in the downloaded app. But when I click download it buffers to a percentage and then it says CONNECTION FAILED. Can some one help me.

Thank you so much , I was having a hard time trying to update kodi.

AJsays:September 13, 2017 at 7:25 pm

I cannot download kodi though downloader, ES file manager or fireDL on my Fire TV Box. I have tried about 15 different links on each of the 3 downloading apps but have had no luck. I had it on there originally then it wasn’t working. I did a factory reset of the Fire TV box and now my device will not connect to any kodi website or any site that allows me to download kodi onto the FireTV Box. I have followed the exact directions listed on this site multiple times to verify I have done everything correctly but I have had no luck. Before I throw it out my window, someone please help me!
