What is the Fido K19 Kodi Addon?

Fido K19 is an all-in-one Kodi addon that offers live TV channels, movies, classic TV shows and more. It is a very lightweight addon and works smoothly on all devices. The Fido K19 addon can be found in the Fido Repository.

This addon pulls high-quality free links from various sources with reliable streams. In addition, some free streams are pulled from torrent sites. This is a popular method of file sharing, but it could get you into legal trouble. It is therefore recommended to use this addon with a VPN.

However, you can integrate your Real Debrid account to safely stream encrypted torrent files from the Real Debrid servers.

Integration with Trakt is not supported.

Is the Fido K19 Kodi Addon Legal?

Yes, it certainly is! This addon does not host any content and is essentially just a search engine. It is, therefore, 100% legal to install. However, most links scraped from databases and websites are unlikely to hold the proper licencing for broadcasting/distributing the content. This means you will be unlawfully streaming copyrighted content. In addition, some free links are scraped from torrent sites. This could get you into legal trouble. Accordingly, you may prefer to use this addon with a VPN
