Before You Begin
Before jumping into the installation, here’s what you’ll need:
- Kodi installed (works on version 19 “Matrix” or newer)
- About 10 minutes of free time
- A stable internet connection
- A premium debrid service account is recommended but not required (Real-Debrid, All-Debrid, or Premiumize)
Complete Installation Guide
Step 1: Enable Unknown Sources
First, we need to tell Kodi it’s okay to install addons from outside the official Kodi repository:
- Open Kodi
- Click the gear icon ⚙️ to open Settings
- Select System
- Navigate to Add-ons tab
- Turn ON the toggle for Unknown sources
- Click Yes on the warning message

- Go back to the Kodi home screen
- Click the gear icon ⚙️ for Settings
- Select File manager
- Double-click Add source
- Click where it says None
- Type in exactly:
https://tikipeter.github.io
- Click OK
- For the name at the bottom, enter
TikiPeter
- Click OK to save

- Choose Install from zip file
- Find and select TikiPeter
- Click on repository.fenlight-x.x.x.zip (version numbers may vary)

Step 5: Configure Fen Light (Important!)
Unlike many addons, Fen Light requires some setup before you can use it effectively:
- Go to Kodi home screen
- Select Add-ons
- Under Video add-ons, find and open Fen Light
- On first launch, you’ll be prompted to set up Providers
- Choose Install Providers when prompted
- Wait for the providers to install and update

Step 6: Connect Your Debrid Service (Highly Recommended)
For the best streaming experience with Fen Light, connecting a debrid service is strongly recommended:
- Within Fen Light, go to Tools > Settings
- Select Accounts
- Choose your debrid service (Real-Debrid, All-Debrid, or Premiumize)
- Select Authorize
- A code will appear on your screen
- Using another device, go to the website shown
- Enter the code provided
- Follow the prompts to authorize Kodi
- Return to Fen Light and wait for the “Success” message

Step 7: Connect Trakt (Optional)
Trakt integration allows you to track what you’ve watched and sync watchlists:
- In Fen Light settings, go to Accounts
- Select Trakt > Authorize
- Follow the on-screen instructions using the code shown
- Log into your Trakt account on another device
- Authorize Fen Light

Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you run into problems, here are some quick fixes:
Problem | Solution |
---|---|
Repository zip won’t install | Double-check the source URL for typos |
No streams found | Verify your debrid service is authorized correctly |

Why Fen Light Stands Out
Fen Light is worth the setup because:
- It provides lightning-fast scraping of sources
- The interface is clean, minimal, and easy to navigate
- It offers excellent integration with debrid services
- Regular updates keep everything working smoothly
- The developer (TikiPeter) is well-respected in the Kodi community
Remember that streaming content through Kodi addons may be subject to copyright laws in your region. Always be aware of the legal implications in your country.
Enjoy your new Fen Light addon and happy streaming!
