Recommended for Smart TVs, FireStick, Android TV & PC

📱 Method 1: Install Directly in Kodi (File Manager)

No web browser or USB drive needed. Type or paste this URL into Kodi:

1. In Kodi, enable Unknown sources under Settings (⚙️) ➔ System ➔ Add-ons.
2. Go to Settings (⚙️) ➔ File manager ➔ Add source.
3. Click <None> and enter the URL above: https://kodi.opensubtitles.com
4. Set the media source name to: OpenSubtitles-repo and click OK.
5. Go to Add-ons ➔ Install from zip file ➔ OpenSubtitles-repo.
6. Select repository.opensubtitles-com.zip and wait for installation confirmation.
7. Go to Install from repository ➔ OpenSubtitles.com Official Repository ➔ Subtitles ➔ OpenSubtitles.com and click Install.

Work in progress — not an update, install by hand

🧪 Try v2.0.0 (beta)

The 2.x line adds a background service (silent multi-language auto-download when playback starts, post-playback rating prompt, account alerts), AI transcription for films with no subtitles at all, and subtitle sync that retimes an out-of-sync subtitle against the audio. It is still being developed — expect rough edges.

It is deliberately not in the repository feed above: Kodi will never offer it to you as an update, and installing it will not happen by itself. If you want to try it, download the zip and install it yourself; the stable release stays the one served by the repository.

1. Download service.subtitles.opensubtitles-com-2.0.0.zip from the page above.
2. In Kodi, go to Add-ons ➔ Install from zip file and pick the downloaded file.
3. To go back to the stable release, uninstall it and reinstall from the repository.
