Is M.E.T.V Kodi Addon Safe to Use?
Whenever installing third-party addons outside of the official Kodi repository, it‘s important to be cautious. M.E.T.V is not an "official" addon which means the code and sources have not been audited by the Kodi team.
That said, I scanned the repository URL using VirusTotal and it came back clean without any detections:
The addon also does not require entering any sensitive information during setup. Overall, it appears to be safe from a malware perspective based on current analysis.
However, there are a few general precautions I recommend when using addons like M.E.T.V:
-
Use a VPN – This will anonymize your streaming activity and prevent your ISP from seeing what you access. I recommend Surfshark VPN.
-
Be careful of "free" content – Much of the video content may be copyrighted material. Stick to free, legal sources.
-
Limit personal info access – Be selective when allowing unknown addons access to your data.
With those tips in mind, let‘s move on to the installation process.

Within Movies and TV shows are subcategories like New Releases, Popular, Genres, and more.
Live TV contains many 24/7 streaming channels across movies, news, sports, music, and general entertainment.

When you select a movie, show episode, or live stream, it will scrape and display available sources to play. I recommend using "Cached torrents only" if you have Real-Debrid authorized.
In my experience, links played quickly and streams were good quality. Having a fast internet connection and Real-Debrid makes a significant difference.

Is M.E.T.V Kodi Addon Legal?
The legality of Kodi addons like M.E.T.V is a complicated gray area. The addon itself is just an indexing tool that aggregates links – it does not host any content. However, many of those links point to pirated sources.
The M.E.T.V developers do not have licensing deals with movie studios and TV networks. So while the addon itself may be legal, streaming certain copyright-protected content through it would be illegal.
As an end user, it is your responsibility to avoid copyright infringement. Stick to free, legal sources of video content through addons like M.E.T.V.
Some tips:
-
Use official addons from the Kodi repository for verified legal sources.
-
Check sites like YouTube, Tubi, Pluto TV, Crackle, and other free streaming services for movies and shows.
-
Be careful accessing pirated live sports and PPV events.
-
If you see a recent Hollywood blockbuster or episode from a current TV season, it is most likely an illegal stream.
-
Use a VPN to keep your activity private and secure.
In short, proceed at your own risk when installing third-party Kodi addons. Some content sources may be illegal, while others are perfectly legitimate.
