Sparkle Kodi Addon: HD Acestream Links From Reddit

Check out the Sparkle Kodi addon for acestream links from reddit, which provide reliable HD sports streams for all of your favourites. Read more information in our guide.

For those people that like reddit sports streaming addons such as Pro Sport or Sports Hub, the Sparkle Kodi addon is a worthy alternative to them and addition to your Kodi setup.

Sparkle, like Pro Sport, pulls streaming media files off of specific subreddits that are dedicated to online sports streams found on the public internet. It sorts content by subreddit name, which are organized by sports.

Sparkle Kodi Latest Version

The latest version of Sparkle is v0.0.84 which adds the ability to customize the list of subreddits you follow within the addon. There has been frequent switches to the r/soccerstreams related subreddits and this new change will allow users to manually update their Sparkle list.

Sparkle Kodi Sections

The following subreddits are listed in the addon:

• MMA Streams
• NFL Streams
• NBA Streams
• NCAA BBall Streams
• CFB Streams
• NHL Streams
• Puck Streams
• MLB Streams
• Soccer Streams EPL
• Soccer Streams Other
• Tennis Streams
• Boxing Streams
• Rugby Streams
• Motor Sports Streams
• Live TV LInks
• TV Network Search
• Channel Streams

 

Inside each of the categories are separate listings for each game or event showing. One nice feature about Sparkle is that it shows the start time of the event and also how many streams are found inside of the listing.

Heading into the game listing will bring you individual links that can be a little confusing because they are just random letters and numbers. These are acestream links: special IPTV live streams that use the acestream driver to decode and present the links in your Kodi media center.

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 links work like torrent files: all users watching the stream share bandwidth with each other in order to share the load and reduce buffer. This means that busy streams perform better because there are more faster sources, compared to traditional streaming files which buffer when there are lots of people watching.

Because you share your connection when using Acestream links, we highly recommend the use of a VPN to hide your connection. You can get a minimum of 25% off a quality Kodi VPN by clicking here.
