Venom is a popular Kodi add-on that allows you to stream movies and TV shows using premium sources. This add-on has many features like Trakt.tv support, library integration, Youtube section, Debrid cloud manager, and more.
IMPORTANT: Venom and its repository are no longer available. Check out Umbrella, a new add-on based on Venom. Visit our favorite add-ons for more alternatives to Venom.
You’ll need a premium account from Real Debrid, All Debrid, or Premiumize for Venom to work properly. This add-on uses FenomScrapers, an external scraper package also used by other add-ons like Fen.
Venom addon is compatible with Kodi 19 Matrix and Kodi 18 Leia.
In this guide, we’re going to install and set up Venom on Kodi. Let’s get started!

2. Install Venom on Kodi
If this is the first time you install add-ons on Kodi, you’ll have to allow the installation of unofficial add-ons. Please read How to allow 3rd-party add-ons on Kodi and come back here when you’re ready.
2.1. Adding Venom source
Let’s begin by adding a link to the official source on 123venom’s Github page, this will allow us to download the repository zip file directly on Kodi.
1. Press the cog icon near the top left corner of the screen.
2. Select File Manager.
3. Press Add source. 
4. Enter https://123venom.github.io/ on the top box and venom on the bottom one. Press OK to add the source. 
2.2. Installing Venom repository
The repository is responsible for installing and updating the add-on, let’s use the new source to download the Venom repo.
5. Go back to the Settings menu and this time select Add-ons. 
6. Click on Install from zip file. 
On Kodi 19, you’ll see a message about the auto-update feature. Press Yes to proceed.
7. Now select venom. 
8. Click on repository.venom-x.x.zip to download and install the repository. 
2.3. Installing Venom add-on
Now we’ll use the repository to download and install Venom with all its dependencies.
9. Select Install from repository. 
10. Click on Venom Repo.
11. Select Video add-ons.
12. Now select Venom.
13. Press the Install button.
14. You’ll see a list of dependencies to be installed along with the add-on. Press OK to continue and wait until the process is finished.
If you are prompted to install the Metahandler dependency, press Yes.
15. Go back to the Home Screen, you’ll see a shortcut to Venom on the Add-ons tab.
We have installed Venom on Kodi, but we still need to authorize a Debrid account so that the add-on can find sources and stream content.
2.4. Authorizing Venom with Real Debrid
Using premium accounts gives you unrestricted access to several file hosters and cached-torrents. It greatly improves the speed, quantity, and quality of available sources.
In this tutorial we’ll use Real Debrid, a popular service to get access to various file hosters and cached torrents for a very low price.
It is important that you open My Accounts through Venom so that the settings are automatically synced. If you open My accounts from the main screen, you will have to sync Venom and My accounts manually.
16. Open Venom and select Tools.
17. Press My Accounts Settings.
18. Select the Debrid Accounts tab and click on Authorize under Real-Debrid.
19. Copy the authorization code. 
20. Use a web browser to visit https://real-debrid.com/device and enter the authorization code. (You must be logged in to your Real Debrid account). 
21. Set a name for this connection, we’ll write Venom. Press Set that name to continue. 
22. Go back to Kodi. You should now see your username in the Real Debrid section. Press OK to continue. 
We have authorized My Accounts with Real Debrid, Venom should automatically take the new settings but sometimes it fails. Let’s make sure Real Debrid is enabled on Venom.
23. Press SETTINGS: Accounts. 
24. On the Accounts tab, scroll down to the Real-Debrid section and make sure Enable is activated, then press Ok to save the settings. 
All done! Now you’re ready to stream content on Kodi with Venom. Use Venom’s main menu to search for movies or TV shows.
25. You will see a selectable list of available sources before playing a movie or episode.
To continuously play episodes, open the context menu on the episode you want to watch and select Play from here.
When using cached torrents, your device won’t connect to the p2p network directly, instead, Real Debrid will fetch the files on their servers and it’ll let you get them as a normal download.
Venom supports automatic subtitles but if you need more control over the subtitles selection process please read How to enable automatic subtitles on Kodi.
3. Additional Settings
Let’s take a look at how to set up some popular Venom features. These steps are optional but can improve your user experience.
3.1. Venom and Trakt
Trakt.tv is a free service that helps you organize and keep track of your favorite movies and shows. Using a Trakt account is very helpful if you want to sync your watched status across devices.
Venom can integrate with your Trakt account giving you access to your Collection, lists, and bookmarks.
It is also capable of scrobbling, so using the official Trakt add-on is optional. Scrobbling means automatically checking in your watched episodes and movies on the cloud.
To use Trakt with Venom, visit the Trakt.tv website, log in with your account, and follow these steps.
I. Select Tools on Venom’s main menu.
II. Press My Accounts Settings.
III. Make sure the Trakt tab is selected and press Authorization…
IV. Copy the authorization code. 
V. Using a web browser, visit https://trakt.tv/activate and enter the authorization code. You must be logged into your Trakt account. 
VI. Press Yes to link your Trakt account to Venom. 
You can now access your Trakt collection and lists with Venom using the My Movies and My TV Shows categories on the addon’s main menu.
If you are not using the official Trakt add-on, you should Enable scrobbling on Venom. Go to the add-on’s main menu, select Tools, and press Settings: General.
VII. Highlight the Trakt tab, scroll down and activate Enable Scrobbling. Set the Resume Point source to Trakt scrobbles to keep your devices synchronized. 
If you are using Kodi on a single device, you can keep the Resume Point source on Local to avoid unnecessary calls to the Trakt API that can slow down navigation.

5. Venom Kodi add-on FAQ
Yes. Venom requires a premium account from Real Debrid, Premiumize, or All Debrid.
No. When using a Debrid account your traffic is already encrypted using HTTPS.
First, make sure your Debrid account is authorized and hasn’t expired. Then, try clearing Venom’s cache. Follow these steps:
1. Select Tools on Venom’s main menu.
2. Select Cache Options.
3. Press Clear all caches.
4. Confirm by pressing Yes.
5. Restart Kodi.
Yes. Cached torrents files are downloaded by your Debrid service provider using their servers. These files are then stored on their servers so you can access them as a normal download using HTTPS which is an encrypted protocol. Since you’re using the Debrid’s server as a proxy, your IP address is not exposed to the P2P network.

After following the steps, Venom 5.x.x gets installed, but your screenshot shows 6.1.8
Then I keep getting “No Streams Available”. I tried all the solutions I could find online for that problem and could not fix it.
Any ideas? I mainly want to try a newer version of Venom to see if that helps.
I have setup my Premiumize account in Venom,
Still when I try to play a movie, Venom says no account setup!!!
What am I missing? Tiur help will be greatly appreciated
Hi, seems like Venom is not taking My Accounts settings. Open Venom, go to Tools > SETTINGS: Accounts, make sure Premiumize is enabled and press Sync(re) with My Accounts.
After I have installed and authorized Resolver for Premiumize in Venom:
Ehen i try streaming I get a message saying No debrid account setup.
What am I missing?
Running Kidi 19.2
Hi please can someone help me I’m pulling my hair out here. I get No Real Debrid account message every time. I have uninstalled Kodi and Venom so many times now and followed the instructions above to the letter but still shows my Real Debrid account details tells me my account is synced but won’t let me used Venom. Hoping someone on here can help as this is driving me mad.
Many thanks hopefully Wendy.
Finally managed to sort it. 😁
Hi, I’m glad you fxed it. As others users pointed out, Real Debrid was disabled by default on Venom. I’ve updated the guide to show how to enable it.
I keep getting the error no debrid account setup. Even though I have set it up and can see my credentials within the venom app via My accounts.
I found the answer below. Look at Msam’s comment. Fixed it for me.
Hello, I use The Oath and VENOM.
When I search for tv shows I get nothin but “…”
Nothing comes up, but when I search movies anything I look for comes up.
I consider myself somewhat familiar with Kodi and add-ons and this problem has me stumped!!
Please help!!
No matter what i do i get tge message No debrid account setup, account is required, if i go to my account, my real debrid account is there and active, i have revoked it several times, still the same message, all other addons like the crew working fine with my real debrid accounten tried removing venom and adding it again.
Hi. After authorizing Real Debrid on My Accounts, you need to synchronize Venom with My Accounts so it can recognize the new settings.
Open Venom > go to Tools > select Settings: Accounts > and press sync(re) with My Accounts.
If you open My Accounts via Venom (using Tools > My Accounts Settings), the synchronization will occur automatically.
Hi, You might’ve authorized the RD account only in My Account Settings. After authorizing RD account in My account settings in Venom tools menu, scroll down to SETTINGS: Account, then go to Real-Debrid and Enable it. This solved my problem with this authentication error. Hope this helps.
This here is the solution!!!
Thank you. This fixed it for me.
Venom doesn’t work, even when the debrid account has been purchased and set up. Same message, same problem.
Thanks, everything is working fine. But i hate the thumbnail – icon of this add on. Can you please tell me how to change it?
I’ve just followed all to install, I’ve deleted all caches, I’ve just registered a Debrid account, but I’m getting always the message “permission-denied” and “unknown_resource”
Hi, I reinstalled Venom on Windows and Android a couple of times, but I couldn’t reproduce the error.
I also checked the source code to see if I could get some insights on the problem but those error messages are not hardcoded on Venom nor MyAccounts so they are probably coming directly from the Debrid service.
It seems like maybe an error occurred when authorizing your account. Could you please try to re-authorize your account and report back?
Thanx for fast answering. Well I’ve just seen that I should buy the real debrid service to use it, I was supposed to use it for free. Actually I’m not interested in buying this service.
Same. I tried everything for this “permission-denied” and “unknown_resource” and it’s not working. My account is still on and nothing seems to work. Surely you must have done something that you forgot to annotate.
Also, I would like to input that you commented, “When using cached torrents, your device won’t connect to the p2p network directly,” yet everything that I see for any movie or show literally has nothing but Cached Torrents.
Help? Explain?
Debrid services let you download torrents using their servers, those files are then stored on the server so users can download them without connecting to the torrent network. This is why they are called “cached” torrents, the Debrid server acts as a file cache. Most add-ons give preference to cached torrents as those files tend to be more reliable and have better quality than files from hosters.
The reason you’re only getting cached torrents is that Hosters are disabled by default on FenomScrapers, if you want to enable them, open FenomScrapers, select the Premium Hosters tab, and click on Enable All Hoster Providers. Be aware that this will increase your search time when finding sources.
All of this worked, but when I choose a movie, I just keep getting, “Permission_Denied, Unknown_Ressource”
Please verify that your Debrid account has not expired and try to reauthorize it using My Accounts. Also, try clearing the cache following the steps in the FAQ. When restarting Kodi, use the Power button in the upper left corner of the Home Screen and select Exit, if you just kill the process, some settings may not be saved.
Same here, have you been able to figure how to make it work?
