TUTORIAL: How to install HBO on KODI and watch it in any device

Today we want to explain in a simple way how to see HBO using the app Kodi 18 Leia media player. With this method we can use HBO in our KODI environment either using an Android TV-Box, tablet, smartphone or in mini PCs like the ones we analyze on our website. This method is interesting in devices with problems to use the official app such as the Amazon Fire TV Stick or devices with Android versions 6 or earlier since the official HBO app requires Android 7 or higher and only goes with Google Services installed.

Check our list of Android TV-Box and mini PC models with official HBO app support.

USAGE AND LIMITATIONS OF HBO IN KODI

Usage options

We have several options to use the HBO add-on in KODI, in any case it is a good alternative if we have problems with the official app and the Android version in which we run KODI.

It only works with KODI 18 o superior, the previous versions are not valid.
It is possible to watch HBO in FullHD quality on any TV-Box regardless of the level of DRM certificates you have installed.

Limitations

This add-on does not have official HBO support and the versions we download are developed by users who use the KODI 18 environment to redirect streaming, therefore the results may vary depending on multiple factors.

The stability of the system is not assured.
Subtitles and audio tracks can give problems.
Navigation through the contents is more complex than in the official app.
