In this tutorial, I will demonstrate how to install the Watch Dogs Video addon on Kodi. You may use the instructions on Amazon FireStick, Mac & Windows, Android Mobiles and all the Kodi supported platforms.
Update: This addon is not working any longer. Explore more Kodi addons here.
The Watch Dogs Kodi addon has been rebranded and is now available as Watchdogs Video. It serves you a big line up of on-demand content including your favorite Movie & TV Shows. From the latest to the old, you will find plenty here. The addon employs effective scrapers that fetch top streams from the web. You will find several free streams including the ones that stream in 1080p resolution. When paired with Real-Debrid, the Watch Dogs addon works even better.
There is a category Watchdogs Extras on the main-screen of the addon that gives you access to special on-demand content.
The Watch Dogs is a good on-demand addon. Give it a try!
How to Install Watch Dogs Kodi Addon
I will break down the installation process into three crucial parts. This will make the process easier to follow. Here is what you will be going through:
- Part 1: Allow Unknown Sources
- Part 2: Add the source link to Kodi
- Part 3: Install Golden Gun Repository and install Watchdogs addon from the repository
Let’s get started with the process now.
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 Unknown Sources
This is a prerequisite. No third-party addons can be installed on Kodi without first allowing the Unknown Sources. So, here is what you need to do:
#1. Open the Settings on Kodi from the home screen
#2. Click the option System on the following screen. If you still use Kodi 17.6, open System settings instead
#3. Go ahead and highlight Add-ons on the left part. On the right part of the same screen, switch on the option Unknown Sources (it is off by default)
#4. When warned, click Yes on this prompt.
There is no need to worry about the warning as Watchdogs is a safe Kodi addon. However, you may want to switch off Unknown Sources again after installing the addon
You can now install the addon.
Part 2: Add the Source Link to Kodi
In this part, we will supply Kodi with the source URL from where we will eventually install the Watchdogs Kodi addon. Follow the steps below:
#1. Open the Kodi Settings again
#2. Now open the option File manager on the next window
#3. Go ahead and click Add source next
#4. Now click where you see the option <None>
#5. Use the on-screen keyboard to type the following path in the empty field: https://goldengunrepo.github.io/install/me/
Update: This addon is not working any longer. Explore more Kodi addons here.
Make sure you type the URL correctly
Click OK
#6. Now select the section Enter a name for this media source and type the name of the source. You may type any name you wish to identify this source with. I am typing GoldenGun
Your Kodi screen should look like what you see in the following image
Click OK
You have added the source.
Part 3: Install Watchdogs Addon on Kodi
We will first install the Golden Gun Repository and from the repository, we will install the Watchdogs addon on Kodi. Here are the steps:
#1. Click Add-ons on the left side of the home-screen of Kodi
#2. Click the option Package installer (as you see on the top-left)
#3. Go ahead and open Install from zip file
#4. Click GoldenGun or the source name you added earlier
#5. Click and run the zip latest repository.goldengun-x.x.x.zip
Note: I have replaced the version number of the file with x.x.x. As I write this guide, the version number is 9.1.1. However, it is subject to change.
#6. Wait until you see the message Goldengun Repository Add-on installed
#7. On the same screen, click Install from repository
#8. Click Goldengun repository
#9. Open Video add-ons
#10. Click Watchdogs Video
#11. Click Install when you see this window
#12. If you use Kodi 18, click OK when the following prompt appears. If you use Kodi 17.6, you won’t see it
#13. Wait for the Watch Dogs Kodi addon to install. This may take a bit. When the installation is finished, you will see the notification Watch Dogs Add-on installed
Well, that will be all. You have successfully installed Watch Dogs addon on Kodi.
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.
