How to Install A Pirate’s Life for Me Kodi Addon

In this guide, I will show you how to install A Pirate’s Life for Me addon on Kodi 18.1 to Kodi 18.9 Leia and Kodi 17.6 Krypton. The instructions provided here are device-independent and work on all Kodi-supported platforms including Amazon FireStick, Android Devices, Computers and more.

A Pirate’s Life for Me is an unconventional addon that offers you a whole new way to stream your favorite movies and TV shows. Unlike the regular add-ons, A Pirate’s Life for Me uses the Torrent caches to stream video content. You will need a premium link generator like Real Debrid. The addon will not work without it.

Update: This addon is currently unavailable. Please try other addons from our list of Best Addons for Kodi.

The addon caches the torrents remotely if you are using it with the premium service. This usually helps reduce buffering issues. However, remember that the addon triggers the torrent search locally using your internet connection. If torrent sites are blocked in your country, and also for safety purposes, it is recommended that you use A Pirate’s Life for Me with a Kodi VPN.

Addons using torrents for video playback on Kodi are rare. But, the idea is catching up. We have also used and tested Yify Movies HD addon and it looks good. Perhaps, torrent caching will become a norm among Kodi addons sometime in future.

Before you start streaming with Kodi Addons / Builds, I would like to warn you that everything you stream on Kodi is visible to your ISP and Government. This means, streaming copyrighted content (free movies, TV shows, Sports) might get you into legal trouble.

Kodi users are strongly advised to connect a VPN while streaming. A VPN for Kodi will bypass ISP throttling, Government Surveillance, and geo-restriction on popular Add-ons. I always connect ExpressVPN on all my streaming devices and I suggest you do the same.

ExpressVPN is the fastest and most secure VPN. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it freely for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for the full refund.

NOTE: We do not encourage the violation of the copyright laws. But, what if you end up streaming content from an illegitimate source unintentionally? It is not always easy to tell the difference between a legit and illegal source.

So, before you start streaming on Kodi, here's how to get VPN protection in 3 simple steps.

Step 1: Get the ExpressVPN subscription HERE.

Step 2: Click HERE to download and install the ExpressVPN app on your device.

Step 3: Click the Power icon to connect a VPN server. That's all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for Kodi.

A Pirate’s Life for Me: Quick Overview

Go to the Kodi home-screen, hover over the Add-ons option on the left and open A Pirate’s Life for Me from the Video add-ons section. You may also click Add-ons on the left and go to Video add-ons on the next screen to access this addon

As I have already said, A Pirate’s Life for Me is primarily a premium add-on with limited free content. So, you must have a Real Debrid or Premiumize account to enjoy the addon to its full potential.

This torrent-based addon streams through the popular torrent services, especially the Pirate Bay. It is basically an on-demand addon for movies and TV shows. But, there is an IPTV section too. A Pirates Life for Me itself states that many items do not work in the IPTV section.

Here is the main-screen of the addon:

There are categories for Trending Movies, Trending TV Shows, and Blu-ray movies. Since the addon uses torrents, it is best used with a VPN service.

You will find A Pirate’s Life for Me more exciting if you have Real Debrid. You can click the option, Authorize Premium Servers on the main-screen to sign in to your Real Debrid or Premiumize account.

Verdict

A Pirate’s Life for Me is a decent Kodi addon with a good collection of Movies and TV Shows and a bit of Live TV as well. It is a torrent-based addon and does not use regular scraping techniques to find you the links. The addon looks good to me as I have a Real-Debrid account. However, without it, most of the things do not work. If you are looking for an addon that offers free links, you might want to look at our Best Kodi Addons list instead.
