Midian Add-on for Kodi: What It Offers and How to Install It Safely

Midian was a third-party Kodi video add-on from the Where The Monsters Live repository. Older descriptions list movies, TV, fitness, documentaries, music, comedy, kids’ programming, webcams, themed playlists, and Fluxus TV. Its current availability is unverified, so there is no confirmed working download source to recommend.

As of October 27, 2026, Midian is not listed in Kodi’s semi-maintained directory of unofficial repositories, and we could not verify an active source from its maintainer. That does not prove the repository is offline, but older addresses should not be assumed to work. Follow the install steps below only if you confirm a current HTTPS repository address and a Kodi-compatible ZIP package directly with the maintainer.

Kodi warns that third-party add-ons are not endorsed by Team Kodi and may access personal data. Install only software you trust and streams you are authorized to view. If the publisher or package cannot be verified, stop rather than trying a mirror.

What Midian historically offered

The older menu grouped playlists under names such as At the Gym, Documentaries, Fluxus TV, Grab Bag, Helping Hands, Holiday Club, Humour Me, Mad About Music, Movie Time, Tot Spot, and TV Time. Descriptions included workouts, webcams, movies, television, kids’ shows, music, and comedy. This is a historical overview, not confirmation that those menus or streams still work.

The breadth also meant uneven reliability: playlists relied on external sources that could move, disappear, require authorization, or be restricted by region. The legacy article’s item counts and speed claims are omitted because they have not been verified for a current release.

Install Midian only if its source is verified

Kodi’s menu labels vary by skin and device. Its add-on manager guide documents the standard repository and ZIP workflow. Confirm the repository’s owner and compatibility before starting.

Step 1: Open Unknown sources

From the home screen, open Settings > System > Add-ons. Locate Unknown sources. If it is already on, continue to Step 3; otherwise, switch it on only for a source you trust.

Step 2: Read Kodi’s warning

Review the warning about untrusted add-ons and possible access to personal data. Select Yes only if you accept that risk and have verified the repository owner. Otherwise cancel and keep the setting off.

Step 3: Add the maintainer’s repository

Open Settings > File manager > Add source. Enter the maintainer-confirmed HTTPS address, select OK, and assign a recognizable source name. If you cannot confirm the address, do not continue.

Step 4: Open the ZIP installer

Return home, select Add-ons, and open the add-on browser. Choose Install from zip file. If Kodi prompts you to enable Unknown sources, return to Step 1, then reopen the installer.

Step 5: Choose your saved source

Select the source name created in Step 3. If it fails to load, shows an unexpected domain, or lists unrelated files, cancel and check the address with the maintainer.

Step 6: Install the repository ZIP

Choose the repository ZIP named by the maintainer; filenames may change, so do not rely on an old one. Wait for Kodi’s confirmation. If installation fails, check compatibility instead of trying an unverified package.

Step 7: Look for Midian

Choose Install from repository, open the repository, then select Video add-ons. If Midian is absent, treat it as unavailable from that source or incompatible with your Kodi version.

Step 8: Review and install

If Midian appears, review its publisher, version, and dependencies before choosing Install. Accept dependencies only from the verified repository. After Kodi confirms installation, find it under Add-ons > Video add-ons.

If something goes wrong

  • Repository will not open: verify the HTTPS address with its maintainer. Do not substitute an unrelated mirror.
  • Midian is missing: the repository may no longer carry it. Do not install a similarly named ZIP from an unknown publisher.
  • A dependency fails: the release may be outdated or incompatible. Check the maintainer’s notes or remove the add-on.
  • A stream is broken: its external source may have moved, been removed, or require authorization; Kodi does not provide the stream itself.

For a safer option, browse add-ons in Kodi’s built-in official repository. If Midian’s maintainer publishes a verifiable, compatible source again, the steps above describe the standard installation path.
