Now, this might have gotten you all excited about the add-on, but the real question still remains – how to install the Dogs Bollocks Kodi Addon. Let’s see how that’s done.
Please Note
Any content available online, might not be completely legal. You have to be cautious when you are viewing Live TV, Movie or any TV Show. There may be chances that these things are available as pirated content. There are options available to record the Movie or TV shows but keep in mind that if you don’t have a distributor license, you can neither sell nor share such content. In case you try to do that, you might call trouble on yourself.
How to Install The Dogs Bollocks Kodi Addon
Before installing third-party addons on Kodi, you must check if installation from Unknown sources is allowed or not. To verify it, click on Settings tab followed by System Settings.
Under System Settings, click Add-Ons option in the leftmost column. Now you should see “Unknown Sources” on the right. When you will click on it, a Warning window will appear, where you will have to click on Yes. This way we have checked Unknown Sources.
Now we are ready to initiate the installation process.
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.

The Dogs Bollocks Not Installing on Kodi
Although the add-on is easy to install, with a straightforward installation process, when it comes to software, one can never be very sure. And with the Dogs Bollocks add-on, there might arise a few reasons that may abstain it to run successfully on Kodi. Rather than doing an aggressive and in-depth search for bigger solutions and steps, you could check for some common mistakes, like wrong or incomplete repo URL in the path field.
Try to clear cache and temporary files from the App section in System Settings. Basically, you would get a fresh app by doing it. If some issue arises due to a failure of recreating the same folder, then you can try creating it manually again.
Other problems may arise due to dependency errors in Kodi. This is a very common error faced by Kodi users when trying to install a new add-on. This error mainly arises due to incomplete or missing files, required to be installed, so that the build works properly.
