How to Install Amazon Prime Kodi Addon

In this guide, I’ll show you how to install the Amazon Prime Video Kodi addon. I’m demonstrating the steps on a FireStick 4K, but the steps apply to any Kodi-supported device. These include all Fire TV devices, Android TV boxes, NVIDIA SHIELD, Windows PCs, Macs, Android smartphones, and iOS smartphones. Amazon Prime Video addon is supported on all Kodi versions, including Kodi 20 Nexus and Kodi 21 Omega.

What is Amazon Prime Video Addon?

The Amazon Prime Video Kodi add-on is a dedicated plugin that lets you stream Amazon Prime Video content directly in Kodi. Watching content with this addon is no different from streaming it on the Amazon Prime Video website or in the official app. You can still access menu options like recently added, movies, TV shows, and your watchlist.

You’ll need a subscription to access content on this addon. However, everything else is free, including the installation and setup.

This is a community-developed addon for Amazon Prime Video. Although not developed by Amazon, it requires a valid Prime subscription and provides access only to licensed content.

It receives regular updates from both Kodi and the Amazon Prime Video team. This addon is compatible with all Kodi versions, including Kodi 18 Leia, 19 Matrix, 20 Nexus, and 21 Omega.

If you have an Amazon Prime subscription, then this is one of the best Kodi addons to have.

Attention Kodi Users!

Governments and ISPs worldwide monitor your online activities. If you use third-party Kodi addons, you should always use a reliable Kodi VPN to hide your identity and prevent issues with your streaming experience. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone.

I use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including Amazon Fire TV Stick, PC, Mac, and Smartphones. It also includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied with their service, you can request a refund. ExpressVPN is offering a special NEW YEAR deal: get 4 months free and save 78% on the 2-year plan.

Is Amazon Prime Video Addon Safe and Legal?

The Amazon Prime Video addon is legitimate and hosted in an unofficial repository called the Sandmann79 Repository.

Although we lack the resources to verify the safety status of all files in this repository, we have tested the zip file using two security tools: VirusTotal and Norton Safe Web. Below are the respective scan results for each tool:

VirusTotal Scan Results: No Red Flags Detected

Norton Safe Web: Safe

The Amazon Prime Kodi addon is 100% legal, as you need to sign in with your Prime account to access the content.

How to Install Amazon Prime Video Kodi Addon

Since the Amazon Prime Video Kodi addon is a third-party plugin, you need to adjust some settings in the media center to enable installation. I’ll divide the process into three parts. Let’s discuss each part below.

Part 1: Enable Unknown Sources

Follow these steps to enable unknown sources on Kodi:

1. Open Kodi and navigate to Settings.

2. Go to System.

3. Click Addons.

4. Scroll right to Unknown Sources. Turn ON the toggle.

5. A warning appears on the screen. Select Yes.

6. You have successfully enabled unknown sources on Kodi. You can now install a third-party addon on the app.

Part 2: Install the Repository Hosting the Amazon Prime Video Addon

The Amazon Prime Video is hosted on Sandmann79’s Repository. Unlike other unofficial repositories that can be installed via a URL, Sandmann79’s repository does not currently support this method. The current viable method is to install the repository manually.

I’ll use the Downloader app to manually install the zip file on my FireStick. You can also use the app to install the zip file on Android TV boxes and smart TVs. On Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, you can install the zip file directly from the GitHub page. Follow these steps to install Sandmann79’s Repository manually:

1. Launch the Downloader app from your Fire TV’s app library.

2. Click on the URL field.

3. Type Sandmann79 repository and click Go.

4. Click on Sandmann79’s repository GitHub page.

5. Click on the releases link.

6. Click on the download link (repository.sandmann79.plugins-x.x.x.zip).

7. The zip file will begin downloading.

8. Click Done and exit the Downloader app.

9. Return to Kodi and click Settings.

10. Click Addons.

11. Select Install from zip file.

12. Click External Storage.

13. Select Download.

14. Choose Downloader.

15. Select repository.sandmann79.plugins-1.0.4.zip.

16. Sandmann79’s Repository will be installed. You should see a notification on the screen.

That’s all for this part. The next part is to install the Amazon Prime Video addon from Sandmann79’s Repository.

Part 3: Install the Amazon Prime Video Addon

Follow these steps to install the Amazon Prime Video addon on Kodi:

1. Click Install from repository.

2. On the repositories page, select Sandmann79s Repository.

3. Choose Video Addons.

4. Select Amazon VOD.

5. Click Install.

6. Select OK when prompted to install additional addons.

7. The Amazon VOD addon will begin installing.

8. A notification appears once the installation is complete.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed the Amazon Prime Video Kodi addon.

Before you start streaming with Kodi Addons or 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, live TV, and Sports) might get you into legal trouble.

Thankfully, there is a foolproof way to keep all your streaming activities hidden from your ISP and the Government. All you need is a good VPN for Kodi. A VPN will mask your original IP which is and will help you bypass Online Surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.

I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is compatible with all kinds of streaming apps and devices.

NOTE: We do not encourage the violation of 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. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 2: Click HERE to download and install the ExpressVPN app on your streaming device. If you are using a FireStick, I have given the exact steps starting with Step 4 below.

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

The following are the steps to install Kodi VPN on your Fire TV devices. If you have other streaming devices, follow Step 1-3 above.

Step 4: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE (if not subscribed already).

Step 5: Go to Fire TV Stick home screen. Click Find followed by Search option (see image below).

Step 6: Type Expressvpn in the search bar and select when it shows up.

Step 7: Click Download.

Step 8: Open the ExpressVPN app and Sign in using the email ID and password that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription.

Step 9: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your FireStick is now secured with the fastest VPN.
