1Channel Kodi add-on is one of the oldest running movie and TV show add-on. You’ll find a simple menu and access to a large amount of streaming content.
It also seems as though most of the servers it aggregates into a list are openload, vidzi, and vidup that require you to pair your device.
Just to be safe, we recommend using a VPN when pairing your Kodi device with their servers.
Here are some useful guides on VPN.
When you first open the 1Channel, you’ll see a simple menu listed like this
- Movies
- TV Shows
- Playlist
- URL Resolver Settings
- Help
and within the movie and TV show section, the submenu is listed as
- A-Z
- Search
- Favourites
- Genres
- Featured
- Most Popular
- Highly Rated
- Date Added

Final Thoughts
Definitely one the oldest running video add-ons, it provides the same type of quality content in Kodi as any other movie add-ons such as Exodus, Zen, or Spectro.
The only thing that I don’t like is the server pairing that you have to perform and it seems like every movie you choose. Its either from openload, vidzi, or something vid related.
By pairing, your real IP is essentially recorded once you pair. Just make sure you use a VPN, so that you have your a masked IP rather than your real IP.
Other than that, a great source for finding movie and TV Show streams.
