Covenant Kodi Add-on

How to Install the Covenant Kodi Add-on

Exodus “No Stream Available” error messages happening more often lately?  They were for me too.  That’s because Exodus is dead.  It’s been replaced by the Covenant add-on.

Goodbye, Exodus.  It’s been fun.

Exodus was abandoned by the original developer, lambda. TVAddons announced their plans to open Exodus to the development community as an open source project as previously mentioned. However, they made this announcement shortly before they were taken offline by legal action against them.

When TVAddons came back, they had a new plan for their business moving forward to only host legitimate add-ons.

Needless to say, it doesn’t sound like the Exodus open source project was going to go anywhere.

Then after I started recommending the Smash repository, they changed their directory labels a bit, and one of such changes clearly pointed to the demise of Exodus.  This is the folder in Smash repo that only had the Exodus add-on…

OLD ADDONS NO LONGER GETTING UPDATES - old tva addons + others

Covenant is the Newer, Better Exodus

The good news is that Covenant looks and behaves almost exactly the same as Exodus did.  I’m happy about that because I was a big fan of Exodus.

After switching to Covenant, I immediately noticed a lot of things started working better.

  • Real-Debrid started working again.  I appears that Real-Debrid stopped working on Exodus recently.  Even after reauthorizing it many times, I couldn’t get it to work.  With Covenant, I have Real-Debrid working perfectly.
  • MORE LINKS!  I noticed Exodus was declining rapidly in the number of available links.  I kept getting No Stream Available in Exodus, or I was getting very few links (which were also very slow).  The last episode I tried watching in Exodus only had 2 links and they both buffered a lot.  After switching to Covenant, I tried playing the exact same episode and got 104 links, and didn’t have any buffering!

NOTE: Whenever using unofficial Kodi streaming add-ons like this, I recommend using a VPN to protect your privacy.  Check out my 4 Reasons Why Kodi Streamers Need a VPN.

How to Install Colossus Repo Using the GitHub Browser

This is the easiest way to install Covenant if you already have the GitHub Browser add-on from TVAddons / Fusion.

If you want to use the GitHub Browser to install the Colossus repo, then follow my tutorial on how to install the GitHub Browser.  After you have the GitHub Browser add-on installed, you can easily install the Colossus repo simply by searching for the GitHub username:

covenantkodi

After you have installed the Colossus repository, move on to learn how to install the Covenant add-on from the Colossus repo.

How to Install the Colossus Repo from the KinkeadTech File Source

  • Go to Settings (cog icon) > File Manager
  • Select Add Source
  • Click on the <None> box and type in the URL of the repo server, exactly like this (case-sensitive):
    https://cyan-lapwing-671209.hostingersite.com/repos

    Hint: If you’re on a phone and the URL is too long, swipe sideways.

  • Give it a name in the box below (name it KinkeadTech)
  • Now, go to the Settings > Add-ons > Install from Zip File > KinkeadTech > repository.colossus-999.999.9.zip

How to Install the Covenant Add-on From the Colossus Repo

  • After you have the Colossus Repo installed, go back to the Settings > Add-ons screen and select Install from Repository > Colossus Repo > Video add-ons > Covenant > Install
Select Covenant > Install
Select Covenant > Install

Kodi Streamers Should Be Using a VPN

Whether you need to get around your ISP blocking you from add-ons repositories or streaming servers, OR you just want to keep your video streaming private, I always recommend Kodi streamers to use a VPN.  Please read my 4 Reasons Why Kodi Streamers Need a Kodi VPN.

Failed to Install Covenant?

Did the instruction above result in seeing an error message about the installation failing?  I had that on one device as well.

The solution is to disable all other repositories besides Smash and Colossus (which is Covenant’s repo).

To disable repositories in Kodi:

  • Go to the Add-on browser screen
  • Select My add-ons
  • Select Add-on repositories
  • Select one of the old repositories
  • Select Disable

Another possible (and likely issue) is that the repo source is taken down like all the ones before it.  If you have trouble installing the repo, try copying the URL and pasting it into your browser to make sure it shows a list of files instead of a 404 File Not Found error.

You can’t get streams on any movie or any show? If you’re just not getting enough good links, then I usually recommend using Real-Debrid. However, if you’re not getting ANY links, then something else is going wrong. It makes me wonder if your router or your ISP is blocking the connection from the streaming servers. You could test that using a VPN and seeing if starts working. https://cyan-lapwing-671209.hostingersite.com/reasons-kodi-streamers-need-vpn/

After I do this it says failed to install. I’ve tried it thru all ways mentioned. We used to have it all set up but lost everything when we had to uninstall and reinstall kodi. Would not having a vpn have something to do w it? It works in our other firestick a fine.

Nathan Kinkead
8 years ago

The only reason why having a VPN would help in that scenario is if your ISP is blocking access to a repository required to download add-ons like this. It’s possible, so if you have one, it’s worth a shot trying to connect to it. Do you have any other repositories installed? If you go to My add-ons > Add-on repositories, how many are there? Select each one that is not Smash or Covenant and deactivate them. Then, try to install Covenant again.

I used to use Aeon Nox 5: Redux when I had the older version of Kodi, and it had a submenu under the Settings or System menu. That had the File Manager link in it. If you don’t have a submenu, maybe you can go to Settings > Interface > Skin > Configure Skin and find a setting to enable the submenus. Or, you can just switch to a different skin (and probably update Kodi as well).

You know what? I’ve never used the channels page until now. I see what you mean that there’s not much there. It looks like all Sky channels. However, they don’t appear to be live TV channels at all, but it just simply links you over to the movie that’s on for a certain channel, and it just streams the movie as it would if you just searched for it. Seems like a pretty useless page to me.

To update Kodi, you just install it again using the latest version (unless you install it through the Google Play Store or Windows Store).

I’m glad you found that little workaround to find Covenant. If you are using a build that has custom menu items, you might be able to change the menu items under Settings > Appearance > Skin Settings (or something like that). There is usually an option to customize the home screen menu.

Jumpy videos could be caused by the need for you to turn on the Hardware Acceleration settings in Kodi. Besides that, I suggest using a Real-Debrid subscription to get access to high quality, high bandwidth streams.

It’s funny you ask for my add-on recommendations. See the post I just published this morning… https://cyan-lapwing-671209.hostingersite.com/best-kodi-streaming-addons/ Covenant is my favorite and most highly recommended, but there are a few other add-ons that are worth checking out as well.

Help with covenant.
Sometimes when I click on my tv shows / collection it will not load up my programs. It just says no trakt account even do it worked a short time ago. I am running the 1.1.14 version of covenant and the 17.4 of kodi.

Is covenant running smoothly for others?

I seem to be getting errors like streams not loading or sections of covenant not loading up. I am using a real debrid account.

Any help would be great.

That’s odd because it all seems to be working fine for me. For Trakt, you should reauthorization your Trakt connection. Also, make sure your Real-Debrid connection is still working. If not, you need to reauthorize that too. Besides those, also try doing a clear cache and clear providers in the Covenant Tools page.

Kodi freeze when just installing a repo? That’s weird. You might have some rogue add-on. Try cleaning up your add-ons and repos.

Check to make sure the file manager source doesn’t have a typo.

That is strange. You should check your error logs right after you get that error message to see what’s going on behind the scenes.

We can’t get the movie list! We can only watch movies that we’ve already watched. What can I do to get the full movies list. Example of my problem if you click movies>genres>crime it only shows what we’ve watched.

If you hit the left arrow to get the slide out sidebar, check the filter. It might be set to show only watched videos.

So the repository gets installed, but you can’t get into them when you go to Install from repository > Colossus? That’s so weird because I’ve been doing that a lot and haven’t been having any issues. Try toggling your VPN off and on in case that’s causing an issue for some reason. You could also try checking the Kodi logs to see what URL is not accessible?

It’s the kodi.log file that is in the folder just above the “userdata” folder… https://cyan-lapwing-671209.hostingersite.com/location-of-kodi-xbmc-userdata-folder/

I am at it again. Trying to make it work this time. Your help is greatly needed. I was trying to find where the kodi.log is. I am assuming it is under the file manager? If it is, I don’t see a kodi.log nor “userdata”. I tried adding the new url for smash and fhe kodi1 but nothing populates under either folder when I try to bring it up in the install from zip file. As if, I wasn’t connected to the internet I guess. I checked my settings on the firestick and it says I am. I checked the internet access under setting/system and user proxy is off and internet connection bandwith limitation is off too. I went to system info under kodi and it says connected too. Plead help! Thank you!

I was finally able to select the urls, but when I try to install from repository I get this for both smash repo and kod1comment image

I’m at a loss when it comes to the issue of getting the “Could not connect to repository” when going into Colossus Repository. I’m not having that issue on any of my devices, but I know a lot of people are having that issue and commenting about it here. If I can’t replicate it, I can’t troubleshoot it. If anyone has any tips to share with everyone else, please let us know.

Mia, regarding the error logs, it’s not something you can see from the Kodi File Manager. You have to use a file browser app on your device and follow the path from the link I sent you previously.

Should I remove exodus or reinstall kodi?

Nathan Kinkead

Reply to  Mia

Try this first. Go to Install from repository. Then with Colossus repository highlighted, press “C” or menu button, then select Information. Then select Uninstall.

Now, go back to Install from repository > -SMASH Repo > Add-on repository > Colossus Repository

Hopefully that will install properly and then you can install Covenant from the Colossus Repository.

What if Kodi doesn’t work at all? Every single add-on just shows the loading symbol but never, ever loads. Covenant, Phoenix, IceFilms… everything.

Woah, really? Have you tried closing and reopening Kodi? If it still does it after a restart, then I’m not sure. It could be the skin, are you able to change it?

I always close out kodi, and launch app when I want to use it. The skin is the default one, I’ve tried others but ended up going back to the original. I’m about to just give up and forget the money I spent on the firestick

The only thing I can think of is that there’s some add-on that’s gone rogue. Maybe go through the My Add-ons area and uninstall anything you don’t use.

I followed the set of instructions (on a Fire stick) and is said the add on had installed…..but where is it on Kodi….on my TV Shows menu i still have Zen, Exodus, Specto, Salts, UK Turks and MetalliQ

If you have no idea if you have the latest version, then you probably don’t. You probably have the old version which is likely the issue. Follow this tutorial to install the latest version over top of the old one. https://cyan-lapwing-671209.hostingersite.com/install-kodi-amazon-fire-tv-stick/

I can’t find out how to get to my file manager to do this.

Nathan Kinkead

In Kodi 17 using the Estuary skin, it’s in Settings (the cog icon) and then File Manager. If you’re using Kodi 16, it’s old and you would need to upgrade anyway. If using Kodi 17, but with the old Confluence skin, hit the down arrow on System, and you should get a dropdown which would have File Manager.

Nathan Kinkead

After you installed it, you couldn’t find it in your video add-ons? Are you sure you didn’t miss a step? Otherwise, maybe close and reopen Kodi and it might show up.
