How to Install Seren Kodi Addon (Real Debrid & Package Provider)

In this guide, I will show you how to install Seren Addon on Kodi 21 Omega and Kodi 20 Nexus. The detailed instructions work on all Kodi-supported platforms, including Android devices like FireStick, Mobiles and tablets, iOS devices like iPhones and iPads, and Computers, including Mac and Windows.

What is Seren Addon?

Seren is an on-demand Kodi addon where you can stream shows, movies, and more with a simple interface, and it starts instantly.

With Seren, you get an extensive line-up of films and TV shows.

As I write this guide, Seren works only with premium providers, like Real-Debrid, All Debrid, and Premiumize. One of the benefits of using only premium links is guaranteed high-quality streams and minimal buffering.

Seren also lets you install custom providers. One of the best providers for Seren is a4kScrapers, a known provider for other addons like a4kStreaming.

Overall, Seren is one of the most reliable and longest-standing Kodi addons for movies and TV shows.

Is Seren Safe & Legal?

Third-party addons like Seren raise safety concerns because they are hosted on unverified repositories. You must scan such addons for malicious files to protect your data and devices.

I tested Nixgates’s zip file, the repository that hosts Seren, on VirusTotal to check for viruses and other malware.

As you can see in the screenshot below, the repository doesn’t contain any malicious files.

Like other Kodi addons, Seren is an open-source plugin that sources streaming links from external sites. The addon is legal if you’re streaming content in the public domain. What’s illegal is using Seren to stream copyright-protected content without consent.

FireStickTricks.com cannot verify Seren’s legal status. Legitimacy depends on the content sources and your country’s copyright protection laws.

That said, we don’t condone piracy and recommend only watching publicly available content. We also encourage using a trusted VPN service when streaming on Kodi. I trust and use ExpressVPN on all my devices.

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.

How to Set Up Seren Kodi Addon with Real Debrid

As mentioned, Seren only fetches the links via premium services or providers. Let’s first see how you can set up Real Debrid with Seren.

Note: Real Debrid is the best premium provider for its faster and better quality links; users have been experiencing issues following policy changes. Kodi community members are continuously developing workarounds for the RD issue. If you can’t keep up with these workarounds, check these Real Debrid alternatives in the meantime.

To use Seren, you must first sign in with Real Debrid. You need a Real Debrid account for that. Visit the Real Debrid official website to sign up, or follow our guide on installing and using Real-Debrid on Kodi.

Note: Real Debrid offers a free subscription with limited capabilities. Choose the paid subscription for high-quality and buffer-free playback. You can use Real Debrid with Seren, most Kodi addons, and many FireStick streaming apps.

Once you have created a Real Debrid account, follow the instructions below to set it up on the Seren Kodi addon:

1. From the Kodi home screen, go to Add-ons. Then, open the Video add-ons and launch the Seren addon.

Enter the code from the prompt and click Continue (the code is NOT case-sensitive). Device authorization acknowledgment will be displayed on the next page of your browser.

If you are not logged in to your Real Debrid account already, the webpage will ask you to log in with your credentials before authorizing the Seren Kodi addon.

11. Upon successful authorization, you will see the following prompt on Kodi. Click OK to continue.

How to Install Provider Package on Seren Addon

Seren Kodi addon fetches the streams using Real Debrid, All Debrid, or Premiumize premium providers, as it does not come preinstalled with default providers.

However, if Seren doesn’t find any playable streams, even after authorizing the premium providers, you may want to try installing the Provider Packages. It takes only two minutes. Here is what you need to do:

1. Open Seren Kodi addon from Kodi Home-screen > Add-ons > Video addons. Then, select Tools and open Provider Tools.

2. Choose Manage Provider Packages.

3. Select Install Package on the right.

How to Use Seren Addon on Kodi

Now that you have authorized Real Debrid and installed the package provider, you can start watching your favorite movies and shows. This is the main screen of the addon:

To watch movies, open Discover Movies.

Inside are 15 sections like Most Popular, Most Watched, Most Collected, etc.

Next, we have Discover TV Shows.

Inside are 16 sub-sections like Trending, New TV Shows, Trending Show Lists, etc.

To find your favorite movie or TV show, open Search…

Inside, there are separate options to search movies, shows, movies by actor, and shows by actor.

When you click the video to watch, Seren fetches the streams from Real Debrid (or All Debrid or Premiumize). This is what the work in progress will look like. Pulling the links is usually fast and takes only a few seconds.

Click one of the streams and start watching.

Wrapping Up

This is how you install, set up, and use the Seren addon on Kodi. It is a good addon for streaming free movies and TV shows. It relies on package providers and premium hosters, so you’re assured of quality streaming links. Kindly share your experience with the addon once you’ve installed it on your device.
