Update: This addon is currently unavailable. Please try one of the other addons from our list of Best Addons for Kodi.

What Is Popcornflix?

Popcornflix is one of the oldest streaming services out there, having been online since 2011. In this time, it has become one of the staples Kodi users’ addon libraries, being home to many popular old-school TV shows as well as a long list of original content and film school movies.

Popcornflix is a great addon for people who like indie content, which is a main part of the app’s offering. You’ll find plenty of content here that you won’t see elsewhere. Also appealing for mainstream users is the ability to sift through IMDB-based popularity lists.

As an addon from Kodi’s own official repository, It is simple to set up and start using and has more credibility than third-party addons. In fact, Popcornflix is owned by a legitimate corporation, Screen Media Ventures LLC, with its headquarters in New York. Given this and the fact that the service has been active for over a decade, it’s safe to say Popcornflix has good standing as a Kodi addon.

Notably absent are integrations for other services, so you’re out of luck if you were hoping to link your Trakt account. There are also no Real-Debrid premium streams, though Popcornflix’s regular streams do work well.

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.

How to Use Popcornflix on Kodi

In this section, I’ll give you an overview of how to use Popcornflix to stream TV shows and movies. First, let’s open up the addon.

Then select the Video add-ons tab.

Now, you’ll arrive on the home screen of the Popcornflix addon. From here, you can browse movies and TV shows by genre, time period, date of release, and other categories.

Popcornflix is an especially great addon if you’re looking for classical programming, such as kids’ shows from the 90s and early 2000s, as the library contains a lot of that kind of content. Speaking of old-school picks, you also have access to a few notable movies from as far back as the silent era.

Other than this, there’s all the indie and film school content that I talked about earlier. With talented ensembles like these, you never know when you might just be watching the next A-list-superstar in the making. It’s no wonder that the indie catalog is one of Popcornflix’s biggest draws and that it hosts some of the most popular picks in the addon.

FAQ

What kind of content can I find on Popcornflix?

As I mentioned, Popcornflix hosts a lot of old-school content and lesser-known films. This makes it a great source of new entertainment, especially if you’re caught up on mainstream releases, or you’re just looking for something unique.

Does Popcornflix require any special setup?

Many addons require you to periodically enter a PIN, or they fail to load streams unless you integrate a debrid service like Real-Debrid. Some even force you to create an account. Fortunately, Popcornflix doesn’t require any of that. You can just install the addon and start streaming right away.

Is Popcornflix a legal Kodi addon?

Popcornflix is available in the official Kodi repository. That’s Kodi’s way of saying it endorses using the addon, which means the addon should not include any illicit content. You can use the addon with confidence. Even so, I always recommend using a VPN on Kodi to protect your privacy.
