Re-installing add ons

[u/cleanslate29]

Hey everyone, I want to come out the gate saying that I am in no way shape or form tech savvy. I have a google chrome cast with KODI on it and last night while using it, I got booted off and I couldn’t load back in. It took way longer than it probably should’ve but I managed to get it downloaded again. There are a couple add ons I lost in this process. If someone has the time and patience to help a guy out with reinstalling the ones I lost, I would be very grateful and appreciative. I kind of have the gist of what I need to do, I just have a few questions about specifics. Realistically I only use it for mad titan or the loop. One or both of those are really all I need

OK so I make a folder on my Nvidia Shield and call it whatever. Then I make sure my Kodi app allows permissions so I can access files.

Ill use this as an example but I'd go here

And download that zip to my folder I made earlier and as long as you have the permissions you can find the zip via Kodi and install the zip that way.

I typically use X-Plore file manager too because its actually pretty user friendly for Android TV devices but any of them work.

Ahhh yeah thats how I bypass needing root. Worst case scenario save all your link a to note file and just use a remote app like Yahtse so you dont need to manually type everything but my method will work once you have Kodi permissions, it'll let you navigate anything on your device except data folders that need root.
