In this tutorial, I will show you how to install Selfless Live addon on Kodi. The installation instructions provided in this guide work on FireStick, Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Cube, Windows & Mac, Android Mobile devices, Linux, iOS, Raspberry Pi and more.
Selfless Live Kodi addon has a decent collection of Live TV channels from several countries and regions. It has dozens of channels from the USA as well. This addon does not host any content of its own. Instead, it sources the live TV channel streams from popular resources such as Live NetTV, Mobdro, TV Tap, Redbox TV, etc.
While Selfless Live also features Movies and TV Shows for on-demand entertainment, these sections are not very reliable. Therefore, I am presenting Selfless Live as a Live TV addon and not a multipurpose addon.
For movies and shows, you may explore other addons on our list of popular Kodi Addons.
As of now, Selfless Live is doing a fine job. It offers smooth navigation and usually quick playback. Some channels may not work, but that’s nothing new with the free IPTV addons.
Also, note that Self Less Live is not to be confused with the defunct Selfless addon.
Update: Selfless Live Kodi Addon is currently unavailable. You may try one of the other addons from our list of Live TV Addons.
How to install Selfless Live addon on Kodi
To install the third-party addon Selfless Live, you will need to have the Unknown Sources setting turned ON. This is the setting that prevents the unauthorized installation of malicious addons. However, Selfless Live is a safe addon to have.
Here is what we need to do:
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.

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.
How to use Selfless Live Kodi addon
Now that you have the addon, let us explore it a bit together.
To access the installed addons on Kodi, you may first go to the home screen and click Add-ons. Next, select Video add-ons in the left menu
You will find the installed video streaming addons on the right part of the same window
Click Self Less Live Kodi addon
This is the main screen of the Selfless Live addon
As you can see, the first two categories are for on-demand content: Movies and TV Shows
The remaining categories let you stream live TV via a number of free IPTV service providers.
Net.tv (also called Live NetTV), Mobdro, TV Tap, and Redbox TV also have APKs for FireStick. However, since you have Selfless Live Kodi addon, you don’t need to install these APKs separately.
When you click an IPTV service provider on the main screen (say Net.tv), you may explore the channels organized in various familiar subcategories including Sports, Entertainment, News, Cooking, Music, Kids, Documentary, etc. You may also find region/country-wise classification.
Now, you simply need to click through the categories and find the channel you wish to stream.
The on-demand section is also further arranged in various categories/genres. You wouldn’t want to rely on this addon for movies and shows though. It is best used for Live TV content.
Verdict
Selfless Live is a decent Kodi addon as far as live TV streaming is concerned. It has the on-demand section for Movies and Shows as well. However, there is barely any title or episode with working links.
On the Live TV front, Selfless Live addon for Kodi is doing a fair job. It fetches content from multiple well-known providers including Live NetTV, Mobdro, TV Tap, Redbox TV, etc. There are dozens of working channels. You will also find many channels from the USA and UK. In addition, there are a lot of channels from the other parts of the world as well.
