If you are not happy with Exodus or Covenant, Neptune Rising Kodi Addon is your way to go. In this guide, I will tell you how to install Neptune Rising on Kodi 17.6 Krypton. In case you are running a lower version, you can still follow the steps as it is all same. However, I suggest that you update Kodi to the latest version.
The best thing about Kodi (formerly known as XBMC) is that it has the exact same interface on all the platforms. So if you are using PC, Nvidia Shield or Fire TV Stick, the same guide will work for you.
Neptune Rising Addon is a Kodi search engine which finds sources to stream free movies and TV Shows. It has different sections for 80s movies, latest movies, gangster movies, etc. which is really helpful to find the right stuff you are looking for.
Note: Fire Stick Tricks do not condone the copyright infringement. We suggest users to use this Add-on to watch only movies / TV Shows that are available in the public domain. Watching copyright content without permissions is unlawful and could get you into legal troubles.

Now that you know what Neptune Rising Addon is, let’s start with the step-by-step installation guide.
NOTE: Neptune Rising is not working anymore. I suggest you try Yoda Kodi Addon or Exodus Redux as an alternative.
How to Install Neptune Rising Kodi Addon
Before we start with the actual steps, please Turn On “Unknown Sources” in your Kodi app. If you are not aware, it can be done by going to Settings > System Settings > Add-ons > Unknown Sources. Once “Unknown Sources” is turned on, follow the steps below.
Step 1: Click Settings (cog) icon on the top left of your Kodi home screen.
Step 2: Open File Manager and then double-click “Add Source”
Step 3: A pop-up box will open. Here you click “None” and then type Magicality Reop download URL – https://wilson-magic.github.io/repo/ and type “wilson” in the name field.
This is where you will enter the name
Step 4: Go back to Kodi home page and click “Add-ons” menu on the left sidebar.
Step 5: Now click the boxed shape icon (package installer) on the top left of Kodi homepage.
Step 6: Open “Install from Zip file.” Now select “wilson” and then click repository.magicality-0.0.4.zip
Step 7: Wait for some time and you will get the notification that Magicality Repo Add-on installed. Once it notifies, you can go to the next step.
Step 8: Open “Install from Repository” and open “Magicality Repo”
Step 9: Now open “Video Add-ons” folder and select “Neptune Rising” Add-on.
Step 10: Click “Install” button.
Step 11: Wait for some time and you will get the notification “Neptune Rising Add-on installed”
How to Use Neptune Rising Safely
Neptune Rising is one of the best Kodi Addons available today. It has a huge library of content that you can stream on your device. However, there is something important that you should know before using any Kodi Addon including Neptune Rising.
ISPs and Governments across the World monitor their users’ online activities. If you stream free movies and TV Shows, you are likely to get copyright notices and might end up with hefty fines and legal fees.
I strongly recommend getting the best Kodi VPN which keeps your streaming / downloading activities private.
I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN for Kodi, which is known for its fastest speed and military-grade privacy. It also offers 30-day money-back guarantee. Means, you can use it freely for first 30-days and if don’t like their service (which is highly unlikely), you can simply ask for the full refund.
Note – I do not recommend streaming any copyrighted content. VPN recommendation is for maintaining your privacy which is your right, and not for accessing illegal content.
Neptune Rising failed to install dependency
I have been receiving a few queries about Neptune Rising Add-on that they are facing error “Failed to install dependency.” I discussed the issue with several users and found out that the issue resolved for almost everyone just by simply reinstalling the Add-on. What you need to do is – Remove Source Repo URL, Remove Magicality Repository, exit Kodi. Now start the installation procedure from Step 1 of this guide.
If you still get failed to install a dependency on Neptune Rising, let me know in the comments below.
How to Use Neptune Rising Kodi Addon
Now that you have installed Neptune Rising on Kodi 17.6, you can access the Add-on by going to Kodi homepage > Add-ons > Video Add-ons.
Once you will open the Add-on, you will see the different folders for Movies, TV Shows, IMDB list etc. You can explore it as per your preferences.
If you get buffering problems, here’s how to fix buffering issues on Kodi.
Neptune Rising No Stream Available Error
As you know, Neptune Rising is just a search engine which searches for streams from different sources. It is possible that some of the movies / TV shows do not have available streams so in that case, you will get no streams available error. I suggest that you try to play a different show and see if you still get the error. It should probably work fine, but if you still see no streams available, you should clear the Addon cache.
Open Neptune Rising Add-on, go to “Tools” and click “Clear Cache.” Click “yes” when it asks for the confirmation. Now restart Kodi and try the play again. I hope that it should work by now.
Neptune Rising Buffering Issues
Buffering on Kodi is a common but frustrating issue that must be fixed for a smooth streaming experience. Several users have reported buffering problems on Neptune Rising Addon. So if you are one of them, I suggest that you give a try to Real Debrid which offers tons of new streaming sources that work smoothly even when you play 1080p full HD.
If you are facing any problems in installing Neptune Rising on Kodi / Fire Stick, let me know in the comments. Happy to help 🙂

I am getting unable to connect error, seems to be same issue previous person was having
Hi Cherri, Neptune Rising was the part of the Blamo repo, which is now shutdown. Sadly, you can’t install Neptune Rising any longer
I am having trouble with downloading the Neptune repo. I get this error
Couldn’t retrieve directory information. This could be due to the network not being connected. Would you like to add it anyway?
I can stream other shows so it’s not a network issue.
Any help available?
Hi Mark, sadly the Neptune Rising addon was taken down with its parent repo – Blamo Repo. It is no longer available
It keeps telling me couldn’t retrieve directory information could be due to the network not being connected what does that mean??
Hi Jennifer, yes it happens sometimes when the server goes offline temporarily. I just checked and the server is online. Go ahead and try adding the source again.
Noob here. Finally got Neptune up and running but I’m curious why it leaves a little movie icon on your screen. It’s off to the side so I can overlook it but I’m curious if it can be hidden or gotten rid of. It’s still there and I’m not even in Kodi right now cause we’re watching Hulu. Oh also, why do I have to turn my vpn off to watch Hulu or Netflix? I get an error if it’s on.
I have gotten the “no streams available” message on everything I’ve tried to watch. Tried clearing the cache and it still isn’t working.
Hey David, looks like there was a temporary issue. I just checked and the addon is fetching playable streams. Please try again and let me know.
I loaded Netune Rising/Blamo with no problems. Every time we select a movie to watch it is in a foreign language and awful audio and visual quality. How can we fix it?
Hi Jody, these are the third-party content providers/content aggregators. There isn’t a lot we can do about the quality of the content. But, Neptune Rising fetches multiple sources for a movie. You may want to try another source.
Hello, first thNks so much for the step by step guide, I have previously installed and had no proble but had to factory install my furestick, now when I get to the click install from zip file, I click that then next windo I chose blank then next window should have “install from repository” but instead is an empty file, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I love the app thank you guys keep it up
I just tried to install Neptune Rising, and i get the “failed to install a dependency ” error
Hey Tara, please check this guide – https://www.firesticktricks.com/failed-install-dependency-kodi.html
Hey Patrick thank you so much. Works a treat now. Might be a stretch but do you have any recommendations for bollywood\indian movie plug in for kodi? Neptune has some but it’s selection is limited. Also is there anyway to download the movie movies for offline viewing?
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. Mr. Blamo is working for me now. I was able to get the Repository and add Neptune and Placenta. Each of those are working as well. I have to remember next time that “Patience is a Virtue”
I’ve tried adding the Blamo Repository but I’m only getting three files and none of them are the ones I’m looking for ( Neptune Rising and Placenta). I’ve tried numerous attempts. I’ve reset my Firestick quite a few times and cleared the data and cache but everytime I use the repo.mrblamo.xyz only Adult Swim and two others show up.
Hey Lois, Blamo Repo was under maintenance. It appears to be working fine now. Did you try again?
I’ve tried it on two different fire tablets and i still can’t get the neptune app to show up.
Hey thanks for the help but I cannot get the Neptune application to show up under the video repository directory. I’ve tried everything, only adult swim plugin shows up. Please help, I’ve tried uninstalling and I’ve tried rebooting nothing i do gets that add-on to show up. I’m not the only one having this issue…no one has a solution
Hi Sahil, Blamo had some issues. Now it is working. Please try again.
Hi. I tried to install it and got the message failed to install dependency. I uninstalled it as you said to do and reinstalled it and received the same message. Your directions are very helpful and clear. Thank you for making it easy to navigate. Can you help me figure this out? I appreciate it. Thank you.
Hey Elsie, you should check out this guide – https://www.firesticktricks.com/failed-install-dependency-kodi.html
Not downloading for me tried 5 times
Thanks Patrick, I was ready to give but after following your direction for three times worked like a charm. Thanks again
Hey. I’m having this exact problem. I’ve rebooted/reset/ and factory reset my Fire HD to no avail.. any update on this issue?
Thanks
Hey Paul, which problem are you referring to?
Every time I try to select a source to stream from, a pop-up comes up saying I have to go to a link and click “pair” to authorize my IP adress for streaming. Is there a way to fix this? Everything worked, I just haven’t been able to watch anything.
Hey Riley, when this pop-up comes, simply click “Cancel,” it will take you to the next available source. Keep clicking “Cancel” until you find the source which doesn’t need pairing. It should not take more than a minute.
I’ve tried multiple times ( literally 20 times) to load Neptune Rising and keep getting failed to install with no error reason….. Help!
Hey Debra,
On which step you are getting the problems? Were you able to install Blamo repository?
Hi Patrick,
I have installed kodi on my firestick and have also installed Neptube Rising, legacy and incursion. However, even though I can get into the addon, whenever I try to search or click a list such as most popular, it does not generate any movies. Just pretends to be working and stopps. This is happening on all of the add ons even after uninstalling and trying again. Any help would be great, thanks!
Does anyone have a problem when fast forwarding a movie and it kicks you out and back to the launch application?
Hi Patrick,
I tried several Times to delete blamo repo and reinstall. I also tried to fix dépendencies Errors by installing thé fusion repo, I always get the same dépendency error notification.
I am intalling in the following environment : Sony Android TV, Android 7.0, Kodi 17.6.
Thx
Hey Marc,
I suggest that you try resetting Kodi if nothing is working for you https://www.firesticktricks.com/reset-kodi-firestick.html
What if there is no zip file to install from?
By the way I am using a firestick and I have added Neptune rising on multiple other firesticks. This is the first time I have seen the issue with no zip file to install from.
Hey Scott, I just checked and ZIP file is there. It is working without any issues.
It sometime happens due to server load. I suggest give it some time and try again. It should work.
I have kodi 17.6 and using Neptune Rising with Amazon FireTV. When trying to open a movie I have saved in favorites, the movie won’t open and it freezes everything. I have to completely exit, then wait for sometimes an hour to be able to navigate within neptune rising again. Also having HORRIBLE issues with buffering, it’s gotten so bad I don’t even try to watch movies anymore. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance?
Didn’t work 03/2018 with new firestick, got kodi no blamo
Hey, click on Blamo repo 2-3 times in Install from Repository option. It should work then.
I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. I’ve deleted the addons27.db three and restarted and I’m still getting the “failed to install dependency”. Does this need a VPN to work? Can you please help me I’m on the firestick
Hi Patrica, VPN is not required to install it. However, you should use it for your own safety.
As for the error. Please try to install TVAddons Repo that might fix failed to install dependency error.
Go to settings > File Manager > Add Source > Add URL
http://fusion.tvaddons.co/and TVAddons in source name. Click OK.Go back to Kodi homepage > Add-ons > Package Installer > Install from Zip File > TVAddons > Kodi-repos > English > Click repository.xbmchug-3.0.0.zip
Wait for TVAddons repo Addon to install. Once you see the notification on the top right screen, restart Kodi and try to install Neptune Rising again from the guide above.
Doesn’t work. Uninstalled three different times. Can’t connect to repository
Hey Ryne, I believe you are talking about when we go to “Install from Repository” and click on “Blamo Repository,” it says “Can’t connect to Repository”, right?
It happens sometimes with Blamo Repo. When it says can’t connect, click OK, and then try to open the repo again. It should open in 2-3 tries.
Let me know if still facing the problem.
Hello, I keep getting the “fail to install”, I did remove completely and exited from Kodi. Any other ideas?
Hey Jonathan,
Are you getting failed to install a dependency error or just “failed to install”? If it is a dependency error, I mentioned a fix in Lori’s comment, please check here https://www.firesticktricks.com/install-neptune-rising-kodi.html#comment-949 and let me know if it works.
I uninstalled and reinstalled and I still a dependacy failed to install. Help
Hey,
Can you please go to Kodi Settings > File Manager > Profile Directory > Database and then delete addons27.db
Now exit Kodi completely, launch it again and start the addon installation from step 1. Let me know if you still get dependency error.
Please tell me step by step how to completely uninstall blamo. So I can then exit and completely start again.
1. Delete Blamo Repo source – Check the step 2 in the guide above. When you open file manager, you should see Blamo source listed in the options. Right-click and click “Remove Source.”
2. Uninstall Blamo Repo – Check step 8. Here instead of opening Blamo Repository, right click on it and then click “Information.” There you will see an option to uninstall it.
I hope it helps.
I can’t right click with my Alexa remote. What other way to completely uninstall blamo
Hey Lori,
I didn’t know that you are doing it on FireStick.
For FireStick, pleaseNavigate to Blamo Repo as I instructed earlier (Kodi homepage > Add-ons > package installer > Install from Repository). Now press and hold “Select” button on your FireStick remote and release when you see a pop-up with options “Information,” “Check for Updates,” and “Add to favourites.”
Open “Information” and click “Uninstall” button.
Please check this image if you are not aware which is the Select button on your FireStick remote.
Let me know if it works for you. 🙂
loved your instructions, thanks so much!
Hey Chris, glad you liked it 🙂
The “Blamo Repo” is in red letters and I cannot open to install Neptune. Any idea why? Thanks in advance.
Hey Chris,
That’s right. It is in red color. I just tested it for you and it is working fine for me. I suggest exit Kodi completely and then restart it. Then go to Add-ons > Package Installer > Install from Repository and open Blamo Repo.
Let me know if you still face any problems.
