How to Install Locutus Kodi Addon on Firestick / Android TV Box

In this guide, I will show you how to install the Locutus addon on Kodi. The instructions provided in this guide work on all the Kodi compatible devices, including Fire TV, Android TV Boxes, Smart TV, Android Mobile, iOS, Computers, and more.

Update: This Kodi Addon is currently unavailable. See our list of the best Kodi addons for some alternatives.

Locutus is an on-demand Kodi addon that lets you watch movies, shows, and more. This addon is included in the Diamond Build Repo, which is part of our list of the best repositories for Kodi.

This addon works only with the premium link generators like Real Debrid, All Debrid, and Premiumize. I recommend using Real Debrid with Locutus. It is the best link generator I have used.

Locutus Kodi addon offers tons of streaming options. It is also getting quality streams through Debrid services. Therefore, it has been added to our list of best addons for Kodi.

How to install Locutus Addon on Kodi

This will be a two-part process where we will:

Allow or enable the Unknown Sources within the Kodi security settings
Install the Locutus Kodi addon

Attention, Kodi Users!

Kodi Addons and builds offer unlimited streaming content, but could also get you into legal trouble if caught streaming free movies, TV shows, or sports. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. Kodi users are strongly advised to always connect a VPN while streaming online. A good Kodi VPN hides your identity, bypasses government surveillance, geo-blocked content, and ISP throttling (which also helps in buffer-free streaming).

I personally use ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is very easy to install on any device including Amazon FireStick. You get 3-months free and save 49% on its annual plans. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied, you can always ask for a refund.

Part 1: Allow Unknown Sources

Let’s take care of this part first. Unknown Sources must be enabled so as to allow the installation of Locutus or any other addon from the third-party source. By default, this option is disabled. However, if you have already enabled it, you may skip to the next part.

1. When you run the Kodi app, the home screen appears first

On this screen, go to the top-left corner and click the gear icon (underneath the Kodi logo). This will open Settings

2. Here, you will find the Settings menu with these options

You need to click and open System

3. When you see this window, go to the left menu and highlight the option Add-ons

4. Now, go to the right side of this window where you will find the Unknown Sources option

If it is disabled, you need to click the toggle and switch it on

Note: If Unknown Sources is already enabled, no action is required

5. You will need to confirm your action when this prompt is displayed

Click Yes to continue

You are all set now to install Locutus Kodi addon

Part 2: Installation steps for Locutus addon

This is the part where we install the Locutus addon from the source. Follow each step carefully. The process should not take more than a few minutes.

Here are the steps:

1. Go to the Kodi Settings once again by clicking the cog or gear icon on the home screen (upper-left corner)

2. From the Settings menu, open the item File manager

3. You must now see the following screen

Here, we will click the option Add source (either on the left or the right; doesn’t matter)

4. When you do that, this Kodi popup is displayed

On this popup, we click where it says <None>

5. Now, we are going to type the source path from where we will install the Kodi repository for the Locutus addon

Enter this: ~~http://repo.rubyjewelwizard.com~~

Enter the new URL: http://diamondbuild.xyz/

Update: Locustus Addon is currently unavailable. Please explore several other working addons on our list of Best Addons for Kodi.

It is a long URL. So, type carefully and avoid any typos to ensure successful installation of the addon

Click OK

Now, select the section or text box where it asks you to enter the media source name

Type in ruby or any other name you prefer (you are free to choose any name you like)

Click OK

Open Settings again and click Add-ons on this window

8. When you are here, open the option called Install from zip file

9. You will find the source name you provided earlier (Step 6)

It is ruby for this guide. That’s what I will click.

10. On the next window, you should see a zip file repository.Diamond-Wizard-Repo (use the Kodi 18 zip file as the Locutus addon is not available on Kodi 19 yet)

This zip file will install the Diamond Build Repo (from where we install our addon). Click this file.

Note: You may see a different version number of the file on your screen than in the image below

11. Within a few seconds, the repository will get installed

You should see the Diamond Build Repo installation notification in the top-right corner soon

16. Next, click the Install button in the bottom-right part of this screen

17. Kodi will display a list of all the additional addons that will be installed with Locutus Kodi addon

Click OK to proceed

18. Allow Kodi a couple of minutes to download and install the Locutus addon

You will see the notification in the top-right corner Locutus (Debrid Only) Add-on installed

19. You may see this Real Debrid authorization prompt immediately after the installation. If you know how to authorize Real Debrid, go ahead and do it. If not, it is covered in the next section.

That’s it! You have successfully installed the Locutus addon on Kodi.

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.

Part 1: How to access Locutus addon

You don’t need to do anything special to access Locutus addon. If you already know how to access the video add-ons installed on Kodi, you may jump to the next part. This part is to aid the new Kodi users with navigation.

Go to the home window or the main window of Kodi. If you are on any other window, keep pressing the back button until the Kodi screen won’t change. That would be your home screen.

On the home screen, select the option Add-ons on the left menu (however, don’t click it). On the right part, you will find Locutus

OR, you may simply click Add-ons on the left menu and on the following window select Video add-ons on the left. On the right, you will find your addon:

Part 2: How to set up Real Debrid with Locutus

Since Locutus won’t work without Real Debrid, I am covering this part first.

You can read our guide on Real Debrid set up on Kodi for detailed information. Here, I am going to provide the quick steps to get you started.

Access Locutus Kodi addon. You may see the following prompt. Press the back button or click Close

On the next window, scroll down and click Tools

When you see the following screen, click Authorize Real Debrid

You should see a prompt like this with the authorization code

Visit the website https://real-debrid.com/device

Enter this code and follow the onscreen instructions

You should now see this message once Real Debrid is successfully authenticated

Now, go back to Tools again from the main screen of the Locutus addon. Click Settings

Click Real Debrid on the left menu. On the right, make sure the Enable RD is enabled

Part 3: Use Locutus addon

Let us explore the addon now.

This is the main screen of the addon and as you can see, there are plenty of streaming categories, including:

1-Click Movies
Movies
TV Shows
Kids
YouTube Theater

Within each category, you should find more categories (or subcategories). As I open the category Movies on the main screen, the following subcategories are displayed

The above subcategories may contain more categories. For example, upon clicking the subcategory Movies By Years 2019 to 1900 you see this list

You will find the content for streaming in one of the nested categories

If you are looking for something specific, you may use the Search option on the main screen of the addon. You will need Trakt login to use this feature.

Wrapping Up

So, that’s the Locutus Kodi addon for you. This addon requires Real Debrid (or other premium link generators) to provide working streams to you. And, since it uses Real Debrid, you can be certain that you will get quality links. With Locutus, you can watch movies, shows, and a lot more. Give it a try!
