In this guide, you will learn how to install The Archives addon for Kodi which is a fabulous source to watch on-demand content as well as live content.
We have step-by-step instructions that are provided in our screenshot guide and this works on any media device available. Many Kodi users prefer to install the software on streaming devices such as the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Android/Google Boxes.
The Archives comes from the Doomzday repository which has been a staple for tons of popular addons and build choices for many years. Users will find nearly anything they are looking for as this all-in-one addon has numerous categories available.
There are VOD (Video-on-Demand) titles as well as live streaming channels and even live radio/music. The best link options will be provided when you authorize real-debrid or other resolving service such as Premiumize/AllDebrid.
We show you how to add real-debrid into The Archives below our installation instructions.

The Archives Details, Description, & More
After opening The Archives, you will see the menu items available. These include Movies, Shows, Networks, Trakt, 1-Click, Live TV, Radio, Archives Music, Flac Off!, and more.
As we described earlier and as you can see in the main menu of the addon, real-debrid is necessary for high-quality streaming links. Follow these steps to authorize your Real-Debrid account.
If you use another unrestricted downloader, you can follow along as well. Those who do not have one of these accounts can use the 1-Click option but please note that there is no Movies category available.
Authorize Real-Debrid
- Choose Addon Settings
- Select Authorize RD
- Make note of the code you are provided with and visit real-debrid.com/device to enter this code.
- Authorization success message now appears
With integration complete, you can now browse through categories provided and stream your favorite films/series in high definition quality.
Those looking to watch Live TV will have various options to choose from and we suggest testing these out to find a working link.
Not all of the sources work great for live channels so if you want an alternative, we strongly recommend using a Live Streaming Service which will not buffer/lag.
