Learn about acestream, plexus, P2P, and other Kodi tips below to help you with streaming on Kodi.

Acestream Kodi links have become more and more popular for a number of reasons, including dependent streams and the ability to handle high traffic. What is acestream and what things should you be aware of? Read on below:

 

What is Acestream?

Acestream is a multimedia platform that relies on peer-to-peer (P2P) bittorrent connections for maximum efficiency and to share the load of the stream. When you view an acestream Kodi stream, you share your connection with others and your Kodi box loads the stream in small pieces from a number of other users. Where a regular live stream lags as more users connect to the server, an acestream distributes the bandwidth load across more users for a better experience.

Acestream media links are very popular for live IPTV and special events where a regular link is going to be overloaded. A simple Google search for acestream links will return a large number of high quality live IPTV links.

 

Acestream Kodi Risks

Because you share your connection with others when you view acestream links, your internet service provider (ISP) and others can detect that you are streaming and see information about your connection. Depending where you live, some ISPs are vigilant, sending out letters and threatening legal action to users. Because of this, we recommend using a VPN to hide your true connection and keep your acestream connection safe.

IPVanish and NordVPN are the optimal acestream VPN services because they are fast, tier 1, and allow for maximum bandwidth. Here are some helpful links to check out:

Acestream Kodi Setup Guide

The main addon for decoding and playing acestream links is the Plexus Kodi addon. Once you install Plexus and launch an acestream link in an addon, Plexus immediately takes over the loading and streaming of the live link.

How to Install Plexus Kodi Add-on (Jarvis, Krypton, Leia)

ON Kodi 17 Krypton & 18 Leia Only: From the main menu, navigate to Settings > System Settings > Add-ons > Turn On Unknown Sources > Click Yes.

1. From the Kodi main menu, navigate to SYSTEM > File Manager > Add Source > None
2. Type the following EXACTLY http://fusion.tvaddons.co and select Done
3. Highlight the box underneath and enter a name for this media Source like .fusion. and then click OK

It is important that after you install Plexus, you launch the addon one time in order for the engine to set itself up with your software.
