How to Install Stirr Kodi Addon on FireStick

This post shows you how to install Stirr Kodi Addon. This addon is compatible with any device that supports Kodi, including FireStick, Fire TV Cube, Android Mobiles, Android TV, iOS, PC, Mac, and more.

What is Stirr?

Stirr is a free and widely accessible streaming service that provides a variety of content primarily sourced from the Sinclair Broadcast Group’s network of local TV stations.

While the primary feature of Stirr is live TV streaming, it also includes a collection of on-demand content, allowing users to watch shows and movies at their convenience.

Stirr is an entirely legitimate service. You can download the Stirr app from the official stores on FireStick, Apple TV, Android TV, Android Mobiles, Roku, iOS, and more, offering compatibility across various platforms.

The Stirr add-on for Kodi provides an additional way to access its content directly from the Kodi media player.

It offers content from multiple US cities and regions. Despite its focus on regional programming, the service does not impose any geographic restrictions.

This service is free of cost and operates on an ad-supported revenue model. This model ensures that high-quality content remains accessible to everyone.

We have added Stirr to our catalog of trending addons for Kodi.

Attention Kodi Users!

Governments and ISPs across the world monitor your online activities. If you use third-party Kodi addons, you should always use a good Kodi VPN and hide your identity so your streaming experience doesn’t take a bad turn. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone.

I use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including Amazon Fire TV Stick, PC, Mac, and Smartphones. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 61% on the 2-year plan.

Here is why you must use a VPN all the time.

Is Stirr Kodi Addon Safe & Legal?

Stirr is a legitimate service with official apps for several major devices and platforms. However, the Stirr Kodi addon is hosted in a third-party, unofficial repository. We can never be truly sure whether unofficial sources are safe. However, I have tried the Stirr Kodi addon on several devices. None of the devices displayed signs of a virus, malware, or malicious software.

I also scanned the repository zip file with VirusTotal to ensure peace of mind. The antivirus did not raise any flags. It did not find anything suspicious. Therefore, I am assuming that the Stirr addon is safe. I will continue using it. Check the scan results in the screenshot below:

There is some dilemma regarding legality. Even though Stirr is legal, we do not know whether streaming on its add-on from the unofficial repository will contribute to the owners’ revenue generation.

I recommend using a reliable Kodi VPN, such as ExpressVPN with Stirr addon, to avoid legal trouble.

The installation of the Stirr addon involves multiple steps. I am breaking down the instructions into three parts to simplify the process. Here is what you need to do:

Part 1: Allow Unknown Sources

The Stirr addon is available via an unofficial repository and an unknown source. By default, Kodi blocks such repositories. However, you can tweak an option in the Kodi Settings and allow the files from unknown sources. Follow the steps below:

1. Open Settings from the home screen of the Kodi app. Click the cog/gear icon in the upper-left section.

2. Click System.

3. Select Add-ons in the menu bar on the left. Next, scroll to the Unknown Sources on the right and turn it ON.

4. Click Yes to continue when the following warning appears.

5. Now, select Update official add-ons from the same window (only on Kodi 19 and above).

6. Click Any repositories. This step ensures the repository is allowed to update the Stirr addon automatically.

Sly Guy is the repository that hosts the Stirr Kodi addon. Here are the steps to install this repository:

6. Highlight the Enter a name for this media source input field when you are back on this window. Type a source name you like. Make the name memorable because you will need it later.

I am choosing slyguy, which goes with the repository’s name. Click OK.

8. Click Install from zip file.

You have successfully installed the repository.

Part 3: Install Stirr Addon on Kodi

We will install the Stirr Addon from the SlyGuy repository in this section. Follow the steps below:

1. After installing the repository (in the previous section), choose Install from repository in the same window.

You may also navigate from the Kodi home screen to Settings > Add-ons.

2. Click SlyGuy Repository on this screen.

3. Click Video add-ons.

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.
