What is the Seren Addon?
Seren is a video-on-demand Kodi addon that is particularly great for streaming movies and TV shows. At this time, Seren can only be used if you link a premium account such as Real Debrid. Categories include Movies and TV Shows. Seren is a little different to other addons given that a little extra effort is required to make this addon work. Not only will you need to link your premium account but also install a provider package too. Another great thing about Seren is that it is a one-click addon. Select what you want to watch and Seren will take care of the rest! However, if you prefer, you can change the settings to choose your link yourself instead of using the auto play feature.
Important: Ensure that you install this addon correctly and fully by following ALL of the steps.
This addon chiefly works by searching and scraping premium links from online databases and websites. Because of this, you will need Real Debrid or another premium service. Real Debrid, to clarify, is a premium service that searches for premium quality links. Overall, this provides many more links in buffer free and high quality, up to 4K in resolution.
This addon is also compatible with Trakt. This is a great tool in order to synchronise all of your favourite movies, shows, watchlists and more across multiple devices and applications. With Trakt, you can always keep on top of what you’re watching and what’s more, never miss an episode!

Is the Seren Addon Legal?
Due to the nature of this addon, it is impossible to verify if the Seren addon is indeed legal or not. However, it is unlikely that the majority of links scraped from databases and websites hold the proper licencing for distributing the content. In reality, this means you will be unlawfully streaming copyrighted content. Doing so could get you into legal trouble. Accordingly, you may prefer to use this app with a VPN.
