Kodi does not offer native access to any media content. It can access content that you have stored locally or on a network drive. Another option is to use third-party add-ons that allow you to access various types of media content.
Exodus is one of Kodi’s more popular add-ons. It can greatly increase the ability of your Kodi system to access movies and TV shows. We will talk more about the potential pitfalls of Exodus and other add-ons later in this article. For now, let’s concentrate on installing Exodus on Kodi.

Using Third-Party Add-ons With Kodi
The use of third-party add-ons like Exodus to access potentially copyrighted materials can be considered illegal in certain countries such as the UK, USA, Germany, and Australia. If you choose to use Exodus without a VPN in these areas you may be subject to legal ramifications. Caution is advised.
Another potential issue when using add-ons from unknown sources is the possibility that the download may contain malware or other malicious code.
Exodus itself was used to inject code into users’ systems that turned them into a DDOS botnet. The offending code has been rolled back and Exodus is currently considered safe, but the episode highlights the risks associated with using this type of software.
