This article will explain how to install the Diamond Shadow Kodi addon.

Here’s a quick overview of the addon before we install it.

Now might be the time to bid adieu to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and other streaming services, particularly if you pay for all of them. Say hi to Diamond Shadow, a Kodi addon for movies and TV shows that keeps you and your wallet comfortable. 

Diamond Shadow is a Kodi addon from the Diamond Build Repository. It’s one of the best and most-trusted addons available to satisfy your entertainment cravings. It even provides content from YouTube, but playing such content does require having a personal YouTube API Key.

The Diamond Shadow Kodi addon requires you to integrate a paid debrid service before you can watch content. It supports AllDebrid, Real-Debrid, and Premiumize. These services give you high-quality links for a better streaming experience. 

I hope you have some idea of how useful the Diamond Shadow Kodi addon can be. Now, let’s install it and take a quick look inside.

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.

How to Integrate Real-Debrid with Diamond Shadow Kodi Addon

As I mentioned, to play content, you need to integrate a debrid service with Diamond Shadow. A debrid service like Real-Debrid helps you download premium content files hosted by sources that usually require payment. Before we start, make sure you’re signed up for a debrid service.

If you don’t have a debrid service yet, you should sign up for Real-Debrid, the best debrid service among those supported by Diamond Shadow.

1. Launch Diamond Shadow. On the home screen, scroll down and select Settings. 

2. Choose Debrid among the left-hand tabs.

3. On the right portion of the screen, select Enable debrid service so that the toggle is switched on. Make sure Real Debrid is selected to the right of Choose debrid service.

Note: If you’re using a different debrid service, you should of course choose that one instead.

4. Select Re-auth Real-Debrid.

5. Now some instructions and an authorization code will appear on your screen.

6. Open an internet browser on your most convenient device and go to https://real-debrid.com/device. 

7. Enter your code (make sure to use the one provided to you), then click Continue.

8. Provide a name for your device. It’s totally your preference.

9. Well done! You’ve integrated Real-Debrid with the Diamond Shadow addon.
