Kodi 17 Krypton is an older version of the popular media center software, and while it's no longer officially supported, some users may still be running it. Installing third-party repositories like Dimitrology on such an outdated version requires extra caution and may present compatibility challenges. Proceed with awareness that this process carries a higher risk of encountering errors and may not function as expected.

This guide provides instructions for installing the Dimitrology repository on Kodi 17 Krypton. Remember that using unofficial repositories carries inherent risks, including potential malware and instability. Always back up your Kodi data before installing any third-party add-ons.

Before You Begin:

• Kodi 17 Krypton: Ensure you are running Kodi version 17 Krypton. This installation process is specifically for this older version and may not work on newer Kodi releases.
• Internet Connection: A stable internet connection is necessary throughout the installation process.
• Caution: Be aware of the risks involved in using unofficial repositories. Proceed at your own risk.

Steps to Install the Dimitrology Repository:

1. Enable Unknown Sources: Open Kodi and navigate to Settings (the gear icon). Select System Settings, then Add-ons, and finally toggle the switch for Unknown sources to ON. A warning message will appear; acknowledge it by selecting Yes.

2. Add the Repository Source: Go back to the main Kodi menu. Select Settings > File Manager. Click on Add source. A popup window will appear. In the top box (where it says <none>), type the exact URL for the Dimitrology repository. Note: Because Kodi 17 Krypton is outdated, the repository URL may no longer be functional or accurate. Finding a current and functional URL for this older version will require searching online Kodi forums, but ensure the source is trustworthy. After typing the URL, click OK.

3. Name the Source: In the next window, you will be prompted to name the media source. You can name it something easily recognizable, such as "Dimitrology". Click OK.

4. Install from Zip File: Return to the Kodi home screen. Select Add-ons, then click on the Package Installer icon (the open box icon). Select Install from zip file.

5. Locate and Select the Zip File: Find and select the media source you named earlier (e.g., "Dimitrology"). Then locate and select the Dimitrology repository zip file. This file should have a .zip extension. The installation process will begin.

6. Install from Repository: Once the zip file is installed, you’ll see a notification indicating a successful installation. Return to the Package Installer icon, and this time, select Install from repository.

7. Select Dimitrology Repository: Locate and select the Dimitrology repository from the list of installed repositories. This might take some time, depending on the number of repositories you've installed.

8. Install Dimitrology Add-ons: Choose the specific Dimitrology add-ons you want to install. Click on each add-on and select Install.

9. Wait for Installation: Allow Kodi to complete the installation of each selected add-on. You will receive notifications when each add-on is successfully installed.

Troubleshooting:

If you encounter any errors during the installation process, carefully review each step. Incorrectly typed URLs or problems with the repository's source are common causes of failure. Consult Kodi forums or online resources specifically dedicated to Kodi 17 Krypton for potential solutions.
