How to Install Mercury Kodi Addon

Last updated September 4, 2020 By Patrick

In this article, you will find the instructions to install Mercury addon on Kodi. This addon works on Fire Stick 4K, FireStick 2nd Gen, Fire TV Cube, Android Mobiles & Tablets, Windows & Mac Computers & Laptops, and other Kodi compatible platforms.

Mercury is an on-demand Kodi addon from the DejaVu repository. It has an expansive collection of movies, series, documentaries and also features various extras such as Jukebox, Online Radio, documentaries, and more.

Update: This addon is no longer available. Please try other Kodi addons from our list.

Since the content library is regularly updated, there is always something new to watch. You may also browse content from the past years. All in all, Mercury is a solid Kodi addon and worth a try.

How to Install Mercury Addon on Kodi

Let’s make this guide a 2-part process so that it is easier to follow. Here is what we are going to do:

– Part 1: Allow the Unknown Sources in Kodi security settings (Prerequisite)
– Part 2: Install the Mercury Kodi Addon

Attention KODI Users: Read before you continue

Kodi Addons / builds offer unlimited streaming content, but could also get you into legal trouble if caught streaming free Movies / TV shows / Sports. 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 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: The Unknown Sources (prerequisite)

The reason why I say this part is a prerequisite because you cannot install Mercury Kodi addon until you have taken care of it. The security setting of Kodi prevents us from installing the third-party addons. This setting will be bypassed and here is how:

1: When you have opened Kodi, you must see the following home window. On this window, when you go to the upper-left, you find a gear image right underneath the Kodi log

Click this icon to open Settings

2: When you are in the Settings menu, go ahead and open System on your Kodi 18.1 – Kodi 18.9 Leia
If you happen to have Kodi 17.6, choose System Settings

3: Now we find a bunch of options on the left side menu. Here, we choose Add-ons

4: This brings up a new set of options in the right section of the same window

The Unknown Sources needs to be switched ON. If it is OFF, drag the toggle to the right

5: Before enabling Unknown Sources, Kodi will ask you for your consent. Go ahead and click Yes

Remember, Mercury addon is safe. I have used it personally

So, this is how we install the Mercury addon on Kodi.

How to Configure Mercury Addon on Kodi

I will give you a quick rundown of the Mercury addon. However, before that, let’s configure it for a better streaming experience.

You can access Mercury addon from the Video add-ons section of Kodi. You will find this section after clicking Add-ons on the home window of Kodi. In fact, you may run the addon directly from the home window. You just need to hover over Add-ons in the left section.

Go ahead and click the Mercury addon icon to open it

how to setup kodi mercury addon

On the main window, scroll all the way to the bottom and click Mercury Tool Box

This is the section from where you can authorize premium service Real Debrid or pair with Openload.

For now, we are going to click General Settings

The first thing we are going to do is disable Metadata. This will speed up navigation and browsing.

Click Customization tab on the left. Now, turn OFF the option Enable Metadata

Click OK

How to Use Mercury Kodi Addon: A Quick Overview

As I told you, you could go to Add-ons > Video Add-ons to access Mercury Kodi addon

Now, this is how the main window of the addon looks like

As you can see, there are tons of options to find movies and shows. Here are some of the popular categories: New Movie Releases, Top 50 New Releases, New Releases One-Click, Debrid New Releases FHD, etc.

Besides the latest movies and shows, you can also older releases. For instance, there is a category called Top 250 Movies of All Time. The addon also has some extras like Live in Concert, The Jukebox Online Radio, etc.

Before you start streaming with Kodi Addons / 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, Sports) might get you into legal trouble.

Kodi users are strongly advised to connect a VPN while streaming. A VPN for Kodi will bypass ISP throttling, Government Surveillance, and geo-restriction on popular Add-ons. I always connect ExpressVPN on all my streaming devices and I suggest you do the same.

ExpressVPN is the fastest and most secure VPN. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it freely for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for the full refund.

NOTE: We do not encourage the violation of the 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.

Step 2: Click HERE to download and install the ExpressVPN app on your device.

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

Verdict

Mercury Kodi addon is a decent option for those who want to watch regular movies and series. However, there is more to it than just the latest stuff. You can explore top-rated movies of all time. You will also find documentaries and various extras.

The addon is rather easy to install and also easy to use. You can speed up the navigation by disabling metadata. As of now, it is pulling lots of good streams. However, it is best to pair it with Real Debrid if you want some high-quality streaming links.
