How to Install Seren Kodi Addon (Real Debrid & Package Provider) (2024)

In this guide, I will show you how to install Seren Addon on Kodi 20 Nexus and Kodi 19 Matrix. The detailed instructions work on all Kodi-supported platforms. This includes Android devices like FireStick, Mobiles and tablets, iOS devices like iPhone & iPad, Computers including Mac & Windows, etc.

What is Seren Addon?

Seren is an on-demand Kodi addon that lets you stream shows, movies, and more. With Seren, you get an extensive line-up of movies and TV shows. As I write this guide, Seren works only with premium providers, such as Real-Debrid, All Debrid, and Premiumize. It also lets you install custom providers.

I find Real Debrid the most reliable. One of the biggest benefits of using only the premium links is guaranteed high-quality streams and minimal buffering. Seren has a simple interface and lets you get started instantly.

Is Seren Safe & Legal?

Seren is a third-party addon. Hence, there’s no official way to determine whether Seren is safe.

At FireStickTricks.com, we don’t have the tools to test the addon’s security stance. However, on testing the Nixgates Repo’s zip file on Virus Total, I discovered it didn’t contain anything malicious on the surface.Here’s the proof:

Seren is an open-source project that allows Kodi users to use custom link provider modules. As long as the streaming links are in the public domain, using Seren is legal. However, watching licensed content via Seren can get you in trouble.

At FireStickTricks.com, there’s no way for us to determine the legality of Seren. Hence, we recommend only watching publicly available content. Also, using a trusted VPN service like ExpressVPN.

Before you start streaming with Kodi Addons or Builds, I would like to warn you that everything you stream on Kodi is visible to your ISP and Government. This means, streaming copyrighted content (free movies, TV shows, live TV, and Sports) might get you into legal trouble.

Thankfully, there is a foolproof way to keep all your streaming activities hidden from your ISP and the Government. All you need is agood VPN for Kodi. A VPN will mask your original IP which is and will help you bypass Online Surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.

I personally use and recommendExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is compatible with all kinds of streaming apps and devices.

NOTE: We do not encourage the violation of copyright laws. But, what if you end up streaming content from an illegitimate source unintentionally? It is not always easy to tell the difference between a legit and illegal source.

So, before you start streaming on Kodi, here's how to get VPN protection in 3 simple steps.

Step 1: Get the ExpressVPN subscription HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 2: Click HERE to download and install the ExpressVPN app on your streaming device. If you are using a FireStick, I have given the exact steps starting with Step 4 below.

Step 3: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That's all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for Kodi.

The following are the steps to install Kodi VPN on your Fire TV devices. If you have other streaming devices, follow Step 1-3 above.

Step 4: Subscribe to ExpressVPNHERE (if not subscribed already).

Step 5: Go to Fire TV Stick home screen. Click Find followed by Search option (see image below).

Step 6: Type Expressvpnin the search bar and select when it shows up.

Step 7: Click Download.

Step 8: Open the ExpressVPN app and Sign in using the email ID and password that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription.

Step 9:Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your FireStick is now secured with the fastest VPN.

How to Set Up Seren Kodi Addon with Real Debrid

As I have already said, Seren only fetches the links via premium services or providers. Let’s first see how you can set up Real Debrid with Seren.

Note: I recommend Real Debrid over Premiumize or All Debrid as it is faster and sources better quality links.

To use Seren, you must first sign in with Real Debrid. And for that, you need a Real Debrid account. Visit the Real Debrid official website to sign up or follow our guide on .

Note: Real Debrid offers a free subscription with limited capabilities. For high-quality and buffer-free playback, choose the paid subscription. You can use Real Debrid with Seren, most Kodi addons, and many FireStick streaming apps.

Once you have created a Real Debrid account, follow the instructions below to set it up on the Seren Kodi addon:

1. From the Kodi home screen, go to Add-ons. Then, open the Video add-ons and launch the Seren addon.

2. Click Tools on the main screen of Seren.

3. Click Open Settings Menu on the following window.

4. Select the option Scraping on the left and the right.

5. Under Auto Add Caching Assistant to Debrid, choose Real Debrid as the Preferred Cloud Location.

6. Now click the Accounts tab on the left.

7. On the right, enable the option Enable Real Debrid.

8. Scroll down on the same window and click Authorize Real Debrid…

9. You must now see a prompt with a code.

10. As the prompt above instructs, use a mobile or computer browser and go to https://real-debrid.com/device.

Enter the code on the prompt and click Continue (code is NOT case sensitive). Device authorization acknowledgment will be displayed on the next page of your browser.

If you are not logged in to your Real Debrid account already, the webpage will ask you to log in with your credentials before authorizing the Seren Kodi addon.

11. Back on Kodi, you will see the following prompt upon successful authorization. Click OK to continue.

How to Install Provider Package on Seren Addon

Seren Kodi addon does not come preinstalled with default providers. It fetches the streams using Real Debrid, All Debrid, or Premiumize premium providers. However, if Seren isn’t finding any playable streams, even after authorizing the premium providers, you may want to try installing the Provider Packages. It takes only two minutes. Here is what you need to do:

1. Open Seren Kodi addon from Kodi Home-screen > Add-ons > Video addons. Then, select Tools and open Provider Tools.

2. Choose Manage Provider Packages.

3. Select Install Package on the right.

4. Click Web Location…

5. Enter the URL http://bit.ly/a4kScrapersand click OK.

6. Click Install.

7. Click OK when you see the ‘Successfully Installed’ prompt.

8. Click Close to get out of the Provider Packages section.

How to Use Seren Addon on Kodi

Now that you have authorized Real Debrid and installed the package provider, you can start watching your favorite movies and shows.This is the main screen of the addon:

To watch movies, open Discover Movies.

Inside are 15 sections like Most Popular, Most Watched, Most Collected, etc.

Next, we have Discover TV Shows.

Inside are 16 sub-sections like Trending, New TV Shows, Trending Show Lists, etc.

To find your favorite movie or TV show, open Search…

Inside, there are separate options to search movies, shows, movies by actor, and shows by actor.

When you click the video you want to watch, Seren will fetch the streams from Real Debrid (or All Debrid or Premiumize). This is what the work in progress will look like. Pulling the links is usually fast and takes only a few seconds.

Click one of the streams and start watching.

Wrapping Up

This is how you install, set up, and use the Seren addon on Kodi. You can only watch videos with Provider Packages, Real Debrid, All Debrid, or Premiumize. However, this may change in the future with new add-on updates. Please feel free to share your experience with this addon in the comments section below.
