⚙️ Post-Installation: Debrid Service Configuration

⚠️ CRITICAL: POV will not display any streams until you authorize a Debrid service. This is not optional—it’s a requirement.

How to Authorize Your Debrid Service

  1. Launch the POV add-on from your Kodi Add-ons menu.
  2. Scroll down and select Settings (or SETTINGS: My Services).
  3. Under My Services, locate your Debrid provider:
  • Real-Debrid – Click Authorize
  • AllDebrid – Click Authorize
  • Premiumize – Click Authorize (most popular)
  • TorBox – Click Authorize
  1. A screen will appear with an authorization code.
  2. On another device (phone, tablet, or PC), open a browser and visit your Debrid service’s device authorization page:
  • Real-Debrid: https://real-debrid.com/device
  • AllDebrid: https://alldebrid.com/device
  • Premiumize: https://premiumize.me/device
  • TorBox: Follow the QR code or login flow
  1. Enter the authorization code displayed in Kodi and click Continue/Submit.
  2. Return to Kodi and click OK on the success popup.

Enable Scraping Sources

After authorizing your Debrid service, ensure these scraping sources are enabled:

  1. In POV SettingsMy Services
  2. Under Sources, enable:
  • torrentio debrid+
  • mediafusion debrid+
  • comet debrid+
  • Include Shows Packs (optional)

Pro Tip: POV uses a clever method to display cached results—it searches Torrentio (marked with R+) and Mediafusion (marked with MF+) first for already-cached content.

🛡️ Safety, Legal & E-E-A-T Disclaimers

Legal Status

POV is a search and aggregation tool—it does not host, store, or distribute any copyrighted content. The add-on scrapes publicly available links from various sources on the internet. The legality of using such tools varies by jurisdiction. Users are solely responsible for ensuring they comply with all applicable laws in their region.

Security Risks

  • IP Exposure: Using POV and similar add-ons exposes your real IP address to third parties
  • ISP Monitoring: Your Internet Service Provider can see your streaming activity
  • Malware Risk: Only install from the official Kodifitzwell repository to avoid modified/malicious versions

🛡️ Strong VPN Recommendation

⚠️ A VPN is strongly recommended when using any third-party Kodi add-on, including POV.

Why you need a VPN:

  • Hides your IP address from ISPs, governments, and third parties
  • Prevents bandwidth throttling (ISPs often slow down streaming traffic)
  • Encrypts your connection for complete privacy
  • Bypasses geo-restrictions on content

Best Practices

  1. Always use a VPN when streaming with third-party add-ons
  2. Only install from the official Kodifitzwell repository (https://kodifitzwell.github.io/repo/)
  3. Keep Kodi and POV updated to the latest versions
  4. Use a legitimate Debrid service (Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, Premiumize, TorBox)
  5. Clear Kodi cache regularly to maintain performance
  6. Never download from untrusted sources
  7. Avoid using POV without a VPN if you value privacy
