This guide outlines how to install Stream Digital Wizard Kodi Builds on any device. The steps in the guide work on any device on which you can install Kodi, including FireStick (all versions, including old models), Android TV (Google TV, Nvidia Shield, Mi TV, and more), PC (Windows 11, 10, and more), macOS, Mobiles (Android & iOS), Linux, and more.
What Is Stream Digital Wizard?
Stream Digital Wizard is a Kodi addon that hosts several Kodi builds. With these builds, you can experience Kodi in a new style. The builds make Kodi more user-friendly and streaming-centric. In addition, you can browse content directly from the home screen.
In addition to the cosmetic overhauling of Kodi, the builds also give you preinstalled Kodi addons. You will find numerous popular addons, such as The Crew, Ghost, Asgard, and more, for movies, shows, live TV, sports, etc. This eliminates the need to install the addons separately.
If you like exploring new builds, you should try Stream Digital Wizard builds.
Attention KODI Users: Read before you continue
Government and ISPs endlessly monitor your online activities using your IP address 35.175.39.36 (exposed to everyone). Kodi is an excellent platform for streaming movies, TV shows, and sports, but streaming copyrighted content can get you into legal trouble.
You should use a reliable Kodi VPN and protect your streaming activities and privacy. A VPN will hide your IP address and bypass government surveillance and geo-restrictions.
I trust and use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure Kodi VPN. It's easy to install on any Kodi device, including Amazon FireStick, PCs, and Smartphones. In addition, it offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, and 3 free months with the annual plan.

Is Stream Digital Safe?
I will not make any claims on safety as I am not a security expert. However, I scanned the installation file of the Stream Digital Wizard repository with Virus Total. I am enclosing a copy of the scan result (image below). As you can see, there are no red flags. Virus Total is a trusted online antivirus service. So, I am assuming that Stream Digital is safe.
Is Stream Digital Legal?
If you install the Stream Digital Wizard builds only for cosmetic and functional enhancement, you don’t have anything to worry about. However, you must exercise caution if you use the build for streaming.
The builds pre-pack various unofficial addons. However, these addons may retrieve video streams from unauthorized sources. Streaming from these addons may cause you to overstep legal boundaries.
I recommend you find and watch the content released to the public domain. But to be truly safe, I suggest using ExpressVPN and hiding all your online activities from anyone who might be prying.
How to Install Stream Digital Wizard Kodi Builds
The Stream Digital Wizard is a third-party addon. This Wizard offers third-party Kodi builds. You will go through numerous steps to install this Wizard compared to an official addon.
Part 1: Allow Sideloading of Third-party Kodi Builds
Why do we need to “allow” sideloading of third-party addons or builds? Because it is blocked by default by Kodi. Here are the steps to unblock it:
1. Stay on the home screen of Kodi and click Settings. It is the cogwheel button in the top-left corner.
2. Click the tile System.
3. Select the entry Add-ons in the left menu. On the right, turn the Unknown Sources switch from OFF to ON.
4. A quick warning appears. You may ignore it and click Yes.
You have successfully enabled sideloading on Kodi.
Part 2: Provide the Stream Digital Repository Source
You are getting the builds from a third-party source. Kodi doesn’t know where this source is located. But you can add the source URL in the following steps:
1. Click the cogwheel icon on the Kodi home screen again to go to Settings.
2. Open File manager now.
3. Click (or double-click on some devices) the entry Add source on the right or left.
4. When this popup appears, click <None>.
5. You may now add the source link or URL for the repository http://sdwteam.com/wiz
Recheck and confirm you typed the correct URL. Click OK.
Disclaimer: The URL you have typed is not owned by FireStickHow.com. This URL takes you to the source of the repository.
6. To change this name, click the box. I am changing it, but you may keep the default name.

Great! You have successfully installed the Stream Digital Wizard Kodi builds.
Wait! It looks like you are all set to start watching your favorite content on Kodi. But have you protected your online identity yet? You are under constant surveillance by the Government and ISP. They use your IP address 35.175.39.36 to track you. Streaming free or copyrighted videos may get you into legal trouble.
Thankfully, you can use a VPN to easily protect your privacy and go invisible from your Government and ISP. I use and recommend ExpressVPN with Kodi.
ExpressVPN is the fastest, most secure, and streaming-friendly VPN. It is easy to install and set up on any Kodi device, including FireStick, Smartphones, PCs, and more.
ExpressVPN, offers an unconditional 30-day money-back guarantee. So, if you do not like the service (I don't see why), you can get a full refund within 30 days.
Please remember that we encourage you to use a VPN to maintain your privacy. However, we do not condone breaking copyright laws.
Before you start using Kodi for streaming, here is how you can protect yourself with ExpressVPN:
Step 1: Sign up for ExpressVPN Here
Step 2: Download ExpressVPN on your device by clicking HERE
Step 3: Open the ExpressVPN app on your device. Sign in with your account. Click the connect/power button to connect to the VPN
Great! You have successfully secured yourself with the best Kodi VPN.
Overview of the Stream Digital Kodi Builds
I am giving you an overview of the Shinx build I used for the demonstration. You may have picked some other build from the menu. However, the Kodi builds from the Stream Digital Wizard are more or less the same. So going through one build will give you a fair idea of another.
You can launch the Shinx build by starting the Kodi app. However, the build will take some time to get ready when you run it the first time after installation. You will see multiple prompts, like in the image below.
Finally, you will know your build is ready when you encounter the prompt.
Unlike the builds from other Wizards that feature the main menu horizontally, most Stream Digital Wizard Kodi builds feature a left-aligned menu. The Shinx build features addons in the menu, such as The Crew, Ghost, Patriot, Diamond, and more. On the right, you can see the recommended movies and shows.
Unfortunately, the main menu does not separately feature TV and Movies categories so that you can browse the videos individually.
The Stream Digital Builds come with many popular preinstalled addons. I have named a few earlier. To find all of them, select System in the menu and then press the left button/key.
Click Add-on Menu next.
Next, click My add-ons.
Scroll down and open Video add-ons.
Here is your list.
I believe that the build could have been more user-friendly. For example, there aren’t many options on the home screen. However, it is a significant improvement compared to the default Kodi screen.
You have new, colorful wallpapers and a variety of new elements on the home screen. In addition, the build lines up the recommended content on the home screen for easy picking.
How to Set Up Real Debrid with the Stream Digital Builds
First, let me give you a quick overview of Real Debrid (RD).
Kodi addons fetch the streaming links using the technology called scraping. However, the links are free, so the servers have a lot of traffic. As a result, it is common to experience buffering and lagging while streaming.
Real Debrid is a premium link service. Therefore, it gets you links from less busy servers. Hence, you experience almost no buffering even when streaming in high resolution.
To learn more about Real Debrid, you would like to explore our guide with step-by-step details. If you know about it and have already bought the RD subscription from its official website, use the steps to integrate it with Stream Digital Wizard Kodi builds.
1. Choose System in the menu on the home screen of the Shinx build.
2. Press the left button/key and click Settings in the popup menu.
3. Click System on the next screen.
4. Click Add-ons and then click Manage dependencies.
5. Scroll down. Click ResolveURL.
6. Click Configure in the menu on the left.
7. Select the tab Universal Resolvers 2. Please ensure Enabled option is switched on.
8. Select (Re)Authorise My Account in the same window.
9. The popup has the code for authorization. Visit real-debrid.com/device.
Enter this code and authorize RD with Stream Digital (sign in to your RD account if required).
10. You see this when the verification is successful.
