Before you begin, make sure you have:
  • Kodi 19.0 (Matrix) or later installed on your device
  • Internet connection for downloading the plugin and its dependencies
  • Access to download files on the device where Kodi is installed
The plugin requires Kodi’s Python 3.0.0+ support, which is available in Kodi 19.0 and later versions.

Installation steps

1

Download the plugin

Download the latest plugin ZIP file from the GitHub Releases page to a location accessible from the device where Kodi is installed.If you received this plugin as a ZIP package, you can use that file directly.
Save the file to a location you can easily navigate to, such as your Downloads folder or desktop.
2

Open Kodi

Launch the Kodi application on your device.

Enable unknown sources (if required)

To install third-party add-ons, you may need to enable “Unknown sources” in Kodi settings.
  1. Go to Settings → System → Add-ons
  2. Enable the Unknown sources toggle
  3. Click Yes when prompted with a warning message
Enabling unknown sources allows installation of third-party add-ons. Only install add-ons from sources you trust.

Install from ZIP file

Now you can install the Cricfy plugin from the downloaded ZIP file:
  1. From Kodi’s home screen, navigate to Add-ons
  2. Click the Add-on browser icon (the open box icon in the top-left corner)
  3. Select Install from zip file
  4. Navigate to the location where you saved the downloaded file
  5. Select the plugin.video.cricfy.zip file
  6. Wait for the Add-on enabled notification to appear
The exact menu labels may vary slightly between Kodi versions, but the “Install from zip file” method is common to all modern Kodi releases.
The plugin will automatically download and install all required dependencies:
  • script.common.plugin.cache
  • script.module.requests
  • script.module.pycryptodome
  • inputstream.adaptive

Verify installation

Once you see the “Add-on enabled” notification, the plugin is successfully installed.You can verify the installation by:

  2. Looking for Cricfy in the list of installed video add-ons

If you encounter any problems during installation, try these solutions:

​
Add-on fails to install

  • Enable unknown sources: Verify that “Unknown sources” is enabled in Settings → System → Add-ons
  • Check Kodi version: Ensure you’re running Kodi 19.0 or later
  • Clear cache: Try clearing Kodi’s cache and restarting the application

Dependencies fail to install

  • Internet connection: Verify you have a stable internet connection
  • Repository access: Some dependencies may require access to the official Kodi repository

​
Installation succeeds but add-on doesn’t appear

  • Restart Kodi: Try completely closing and restarting Kodi
  • Check video add-ons: Make sure you’re looking in Add-ons → Video add-ons (not other add-on categories)
  • Check logs: Enable debug logging in Settings → System → Logging and review the log file for errors
For persistent issues, enable debug logging in Settings → System → Logging and review the Kodi log file for detailed error messages.
