How to install the USS Defiant addon on Kodi

Let me break down this installation process into two important parts as follows:

Allow Unknown Sources within the Kodi Settings
Install the USS Defiant 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: Allow the Unknown Sources within the Kodi Settings

You need to take care of this part first before you could install USS Defiant or any other third-party addon on Kodi. By default, the Kodi security settings won’t allow such installations. Here is how you change the settings:

Launch the Kodi application on your device
You should see the following home window. There is a cog/gear icon in the top-left corner. Click this icon to open the Kodi Settings

Now, within the Settings menu, you will find several options. Open the one in the bottom-right called System

Next, you will find the menu items on the left. Select or click the option Add-ons

You are now going to find the related options on the right side of the window. Here, you want to click the option Unknown Sources

Note: Click this option if it is OFF or disabled. If it is already ON or enabled, leave it

You must now see the following prompt. Go ahead and click Yes to continue

Here! You have enabled Unknown Sources and this will allow you to install the third-party addons on Kodi. Let’s get started

This is the popup window that you see next. Here, we will click where it says <None>

Now, go ahead and type the following path or URL in the text field ~~http://repo.rubyjewelwizard.com~~
Use the new URL: http://diamondbuild.xyz/

This window will appear. Yours may look slightly different from mine.

It is ruby in my case

On this screen, we are going to click the zip file named repository.Diamond-Wizard-Repo (choose the version that says K18)

The version number of the file name in the image may be different in your case. Click the file regardless

Just wait now. The repository is being installed

You should see the Diamond Build Repo Add-on installed message in just a few seconds

Stay on the same window. Click Install from repository

Now, we open the Diamond Build Repo we installed

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.
