Kodi

Editor's Review

Dive into the world of Kodi® media center, an award-winning, free, and open-source cross-platform software that transforms your HTPCs (Home Theater PCs) into powerful entertainment hubs! 🤩

Designed with a user-friendly 10-foot interface, Kodi makes navigating your digital media library a breeze from the comfort of your living room. 🛋️ Use a remote control as your primary input device to effortlessly browse and enjoy videos, photos, podcasts, and music from various sources such as hard drives, optical discs, local networks, and the vast expanse of the internet. 🌐

Important Considerations: Keep in mind that the official Kodi version comes without any pre-loaded content. ⚠️ You'll need to supply your own media from local or remote storage, DVDs, Blu-rays, or any other media carriers you own. Kodi also supports third-party plugins, granting access to content freely available on official content provider websites. Team Kodi does not endorse or approve any other means of accessing illegal content that would otherwise require payment. 🚫

Estuary, the new standard skin, ensures a fast and intuitive user experience. ✨ With the Estouchy skin, Kodi is optimized for larger 5" or up phones and tablets, providing enhanced usability on these devices. Please note that Kodi is not designed or recommended for use with smaller phones. 📱
