What is the Shadow Kodi Addon?
Shadow is a fantastic movie and TV addon that can be found in the Magnetic Repository along with the Mad Titan Sports and Nightwing addons. Because it’s a video-on-demand Kodi addon, you’ll find lots of on-demand content to choose from. Categories are dedicated to movies and TV shows. You can link your premium account such as Real Debrid but free sources (including content in 4K) is also available.
This addon chiefly works by searching and scraping free links from online databases and websites. However, the Shadow Kodi addon works particularly well with Real Debrid. 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!
