Since my initial posting of this in 2017, the cCloud Kodi add-on was one of the best add-ons I’ve seen for live TV and tons of 24/7 streams.
Over the years, its repo has moved around leaving the old add-on to stop working. But, the good news is that the latest version still works as good as ever, and it’s definitely worth having installed on your Kodi.
Update: More recently, in 2019, the cCloud team developed a companion add-on called cCloud TV Guide which is a really nice EPG or TV Guide interface used to navigate channels on cCloud.
If you’re looking for a nice familiar TV Guide for live TV, but free streaming through Kodi, cCloud is the first add-on to try out!
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to install the cCloud TV Kodi Add-on.
Before we get into it, just a reminder, when using streaming add-ons for Kodi, it’s important to use a VPN. Check out that post to learn my top reasons why you should use a VPN.
Why Use cCloud TV Add-on for Kodi?
While streaming add-ons like Neptune Rising, Incursion, and Magicality are still my personal favorite add-ons for simply keeping up with the latest episodes of my favorite shows, sometimes you just want to turn on a channel and watch whatever is on. Sometimes you don’t want to have to think about what to watch.
That’s where the cCloud TV add-on shines. It has thousands of live channels available to stream. So, if you just want to watch a news channel, a sports channel, or whatever, you can just turn it on here.
It even has a new cCloud TV Guide add-on for a great EPG experience.
24/7 channels.
In the 24/7 channels section, there are well over 100 pre-made custom channels that are a non-stop stream of random episodes from one show or random movies from one genre.
One reason why these 24/7 streams are so great is because they load really fast! They start playing instantly without any loading or scraping of links, and I haven’t had any of them with any buffering issues.

Please help us spread the word so everyone has the latest and greatest from cCloud.

Hi Bane! Thanks for your work on cCloud TV! Awesome stuff. The new EPG add-on is great, and I’ll definitely add that to this post.
Question for you, while I’ll update the GitHub username, how is this “new” repository considered “new” if it is still the same repo version 1.0 and still contains the same cCloud TV 1.5.8 and cCloud TV 1.3 that are also available in Kodi Bae file source?
I’m using kodi 18.5. with slamious v 5.4. I follow exact directions for cloud t.v. guide. Works fine until it finishes suddenly with message ….oops, sorry about that! …Then it’s days…It was not possible to load program data at this time, check settings or try again later. Can you help me…I,m an idiot with this. Please.
That doesn’t sound very good. I’m sorry, but that’s not something I would be able to help you with, but I suggest you reach out to cCloud TV directly. It looks like they have several ways to contact them on their website… https://ccloudtv.org
