Incursion Kodi Addon: Multi-Source Covenant Fork

The Incursion Kodi addon is a multi-source Kodi addon based off of the old Covenant code base. Since it is multi-source based, it searches the public internet and retrieves streams, displaying them in an organized format. The advantage to the multi-source addon is that if one website goes offline, the addon still has other sources to pull content in from.

Following the closing of the Colossus Repository, there has been an influx of Covenant “forks”: Addons that take the same base code, rename it, and choose to add their own adjustments to and it give it its own personal flair. Unfortunately, this brings a lot of undeserved attention to bad forks who simply change the name, add no new features, and convince users to incorrectly think they have something new and improved. Incursion is not one of those: It has given users new features, updates, and improvements while offering excellent support.

Incursion scrapes over 50 websites for links. It has integrated imdb, trakt, real-debrid, premiumize, and ororo support. 

NOTE: Incursion stores no content within the addon. It only knows how to search the public internet for data and information.

Incursion Kodi History

Covenant is a direct fork of the Covenant, Genesis and Exodus Kodi addons. Genesis was originally developed by Lambda and was the first popular multi-source Kodi addon.

The popularity of Genesis grew immensely through 2014 and 2015, when the addon came pre-installed on Kodi boxes from China promising “free TV” to buyers. The increase in popularity caused some sources in the addon to fight back against Kodi users by intentionally breaking their source because Kodi users do not give streaming websites advertising revenue that browser users do.

In the middle of 2015, lambda took Genesis offline and rebranded the addon (its first fork) as Exodus. Exodus had the same idea but with some key changes:

• Streams were presented in a randomized order so that one source was not getting hammered by Kodi users.
• Library integration was removed in favour of Trakt, a better third party library tool.
• Provider websites were moved to a central dependency called URLResolver. This meant that resolvers could be updated in URLResolver and would work in all addons using this dependency.

The addition of URLResolver was key for the Kodi community as a ton of new addons have popped up to use the dependency to offer links.

In early 2017, lambda retired from the Kodi addon community and Exodus support was taken over by a collection of developer. In May, TVAddons went offline following some legal action taken by Canada’s top media companies. New developers who had taken Exodus over decided to rebrand the addon as Covenant to respect the old legacy and moved the addon into the new Colossus Repo.

The Colossus Repository unexpectedly went offline in the fall of 2017 after many of its developers received cease and desist (C&D) letters from a conglomerate of media companies who are uninformed about the true actions taken by a Kodi addon. Since then, a few forks have popped up for Covenant and even from the Exodus code base. The Incursion Kodi addon is one of those forks, but it is better in that new features have been added to the addon. Also, scrapers have been fixed, allowing for more working links in the addon.

Incursion Kodi Settings

After installing the Incursion Kodi addon, you’ll see a ton of options to configure and customize the addon. Some key configuration changes you can make are listed below:

Settings: General

• Providers Timeout – This option changes the maximum time you will allow sources to return content. A lower number will speed up searching but may not bring back all streams.
• Info Language – What default language would you like info metadata to come back as? The default is English.
• Providers Language – If you want to return streams in other languages, check out the options here.
• Flatten TV Seasons – Instead of TV seasons being separated into folders, this option places all episodes in a single screen.
• Hide Movies in Cinema – Hide movies not released on DVD yet which aren’t available.

Settings: Playback

• Default Action – The default option is “Dialog” which means you have to pick your stream manually. Change this to “Auto Play” if you want Covenant to automatically pick the best stream.
• Max Quality – Use this settings to enable or disable 4K or HD streams from being shown.
• SD Hosters in Auto Play – If this is disabled, the Auto Play function below will never play an SD stream. This greatly increases the chance that you will see the “No Stream Available” dialog.
