If you're looking for a video addon that can fully take the advantage of Real-Debrid to deliver buffering-free streams without fuss, the newly developed Shadow addon is definitely a good choice. Powered by Real-Debrid, Shadow addon is a concise directory, robust link prober and easy to use searching engine for movies & TV shows. Its main menu simply provides playlists sourced from Real-Debrid & Trakt.tv and related functionalities, and its subsections are for various filters. It doesn't have an attractive layout, but it's rather practical especially for advanced Kodi users since it's very configurable and powerful.
Shadow addon is continuously updated and is working perfectly as of this writing. In view of its impressive performance, we've put it on our best Kodi addons list, best movies & TV shows addons section.
