In this article we will show you how to Use Kodi. Kodi is a great way to stream video to your TV from your computer or phone, and Google’s Android TV is a great way to turn your regular TV into a “smart” one. Do you have a huge collection of local TV shows, movies, and music? If so, you might need a good way to keep track of all your material.
You might also be looking for legal ways to watch videos on demand and live TV. You might even want to send the media to other screens in your house. Kodi is easy to use, but it might not be a simple video player for everyone. You can also go to the official Kodi site to know more information.
But since millions of people around the world use it, we can’t help but think it must be easy to use. That’s possibly because it doesn’t look like other media players and has some features that make it stand out. But it didn’t take me long to figure out that Kodi is much easier to use than it looks at first.

What is Kodi?
Kodi is a Media Player. A media player is a piece of software that lets your gadget play media. Media is everything that can be seen, heard, or read. But most media players, including Kodi, are mostly used to play movies and music. VLC is a standard example of a media player, which is a program that lets you play music and videos.
Kodi lets you watch movies and TV shows, as well as listen to music and other sounds. Kodi is a lot like VLC, but there are some key changes. Kodi is mostly used to stream media from the internet, while VLC is mostly used to play media that is saved locally on the device. Kodi can also be used to play back local video, but that’s not why it’s so popular.
Kodi is a free video player with an open source code. It came out for the first time in 2002 as XBMC (Xbox Media Center) and was only for the Xbox. This tool was later renamed Kodi and made available on a wide range of devices and operating systems.
At the moment, Kodi works on Android, iPhone, Windows PC, Mac, Windows mobiles, Linux, Amazon FireStick, Raspberry Pi, Android Boxes, and more. When Kodi was called XBMC, it was hard to set up on Xbox and took some time to learn. Now, it’s much easier to run Kodi on almost all platforms, and most devices have apps that are simple and easy to use.
