YES - Recommended
Gaia Kodi is at the moment one of the best Kodi addons for streaming movies, shows, documentaries, and short films from torrents, usenet, file hosters, and streaming services. Gaia Kodi is highly optimized for the debrid services Premiumize, RealDebrid , OffCloud and EasyNews. The addon has a professionally designed interface for quick navigation and content exploration. Gaia Kodi comes packed with a huge collection of providers, support for multiple debrid services, Trakt and LightPack integration, support tools, and much much more.
1. Open Kodi on your platform. After a few seconds waiting for completely loading Kodi, you will see the standard main interface (in the images we are using Kodi 17.6. The interface in Kodi 18 Leia is mainly similar so you should follow the same steps). Start by clicking on the SETTINGS button on the top left (it is that cog wheel under Kodi logo).
2. Position and Open the Files manager in the bottom right of Kodi -> Settings window.
3. You have 2 similar panels here. Tap on Add source on any of them to bring the next window where you will input the source path.
4. With the Add file source dialogue box open, position and click on selection as in the image below.
5. A full screen will appear next, where you will need to input from the keyboard the Gaia Kodi repository path: http://repo.gaiakodi.com with no mistakes. Remember to pay attention to input the correct path letter by letter. If you make any mistake, the path won’t be added and will lead to malfunction in the next steps.
6. In the “Enter a name for this media source” field pick any desired name for the source name. We recommend that you name it Gaia (for easy identification later). Then press ok. Be careful with the chosen name: that name shouldn’t have been used before.
7. Next return to the KODI Main Menu by pressing BACK key multiple times. Now go and click on Add-ons from the left main menu (the one with the open box).
8. On the top left corner, you’ll get 3 new icons. Go to the Open Box (or unzipper, the first icon on the top left screen) and just click on it.
9. Then on the next screen, you will see a list of multiple options. We need to go to the Install from zip file section in order to open the addon source.
10. A new window called Install from zip file opens. You will have a list of local and internet sources. Simply select and click on ‘Gaia‘ (or whatever name you saved in step 6).
11. Now click on repository.gaia.zip (if the file version is a little bit different you shouldn’t worry. Probably it has been recently updated).
12. Just click on it and press INSTALL and WAIT for the top right notification saying “Gaia Repository Successfully Installed” message.
13. If the above step succeeded you will be returned to the previous menu (as in step 8) where you have the add-on browser interface.
14. This time click on the 3rd menu called Install from Repository – see the selection in the image below
15. Go down to “Gaia Repository“
16. Simply choose Video Add-ons
17. Now select Gaia and choose Install (the cloud icon in the bottom right)
18. To start enjoying your brand new installed Kodi addon go to Video add-on section and locate the Gaia icon.
We cooked up a 4 minute installation guide for Gaia on our Youtube channel. If you missed a step, don’t forget to pause and resume after you have done the same steps in your Kodi interface.

Gaia supports a variety of premium or debrid services. Which one is best, is dependent on your preferences and geographic location. Premium services support different hosters, networks, and functionality. The premium services also have different performing servers in different locations. Hence, one service might have a server close to you, and you might therefore get better download speeds from them. You can use the built-in speed test in Gaia to check your connection and compare it against other users’ speeds.
The developer’s of Gaia suggest one of the following services:
If you struggle to decide, Gaia suggest either ReadDebrid or Premiumize.
We have a detailed article about how those debrid services will enhance your experience and a comparison of Real Debrid vs Premiumizeservices
Gaia is packed with many advanced features. Some of these features are computationally expensive and may therefore take some time to execute. Scraping can take a few minutes, the rest of the addon should however run smoothly. This is a well known problem, especially on slow media boxes, such as Fire Sticks, Raspberry Pis, and other devices with slow processors and/or limited memory.
Features will not be removed from Gaia simply to accommodate people with slow devices. The addon is continuously improved to be more efficient. You can tweak many of the default settings to drastically reduce the scraping and processing time. If you have tweaked all possible settings, waiting a few minutes the scraping to finish is not the end of the world.

This Mini-Setup Guide will include steps like if you were starting from scratch.
Open Gaia
Press “OK” and “Agree” through all the prompts until get to the one with Full or Basic Settings Selections. If you’re on Krypton you can use Full Settings With Help Labels**.** If you’re on Leia YOU MUST USE Basic Settings Without Help Labels. If you don’t do this you will have issues with settings in Leia.
In Setup Mode Select Reaper Setup
Press “Ok”, “Yes”, “Continue”, and then you will be at the accounts list. Authenticate all your accounts that you have available to authenticate such as Trakt, RD, PM, and then Press Continue
Press “Continue” on the Provider Prompt, click Continue (Note: If you see Civitas enabled here, disable and enable OpenScrapers instead)
Choose what you want, Automatic or Manual Playback, I recommend manual
Press Finish
Go to Gaia, tools, settings, Advanced to open up settings
Go to Provider 1 Tab ( for Basic Settings, for Full just go to Providers) and go to OpenScrapers and Press Installation. Should Prompt you to install
Once installed, close Kodi Open it again
Go to Gaia, tools, settings, Advanced to open up settings
Go to Provider 1 Tab ( for Basic Settings, for Full just go to Providers) and go to OpenScrapers and Press Providers. This will give you a window with provider settings for the selected scraper pack, no longer will it rely on external settings 🙂
Press Disable All, Then Press Enable Native, Then close, and Ok on the settings window
Go back to tools, and go to Providers
Press Verification, let it finish until you get the list. Once done hit back and you’ll get a prompt to auto disable all failed scrapers.
Now you’re all done in Gaia but make sure to Authenticate your debrid services in ResolveURL as well! Gaia can now pass hosters off to ResolveURL properly. you can get there by going to Kodi settings,system,addons,manage dependencies, and look for ResolveURL.
Gaia is a fork of bubbles but has had many changes since the fork. Gaia is primarily a debrid required add-on which gives you access to cached and uncached torrents, hosters, & usenet files. For the best experience a debrid service like Real-Debrid or Premiumize is Required!
