However, you can do something very similar to installing Acestream on Kodi from the Luar repository. We will explain everything you need to know right away.
Steps to install Acestream from Luar

Now follow these steps to properly install and configure Acestream on your device:
Install Acestream on your smartphone or smart TV (it is available in the Play Store, but it is better to download the latest APK from the official website because it is usually the updated version). Once installed, open the Acestream app and tap on the Options button on the top right corner and select Settings. Go to Engine Settings. Tap Live buffer and select «30». Finally select the selected player and select “Ace Player”.
Ready! From now on you have Acestream on Kodi. Of course, to use it, you must first configure Horus for Acestream with the following steps.
#td_2 .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item3 { background: url( 0 0 no-repeat; } #tdi_2
