What is Kodi? Here's information you need to know
What is Kodi?
At its core, Kodi is an open-source media player application, which was initially released under the moniker “Xbox Media Player/Center” (XBMC) and was later rebranded as Kodi in 2014. The open-source nature of Kodi has fostered the development of a vibrant community, which constantly strives to make Kodi better. It features a “10-foot” user interface designed especially for large screen televisions. However, there are a ton of skins you can install to change the look of Kodi on your device. It can play multimedia files locally or stream from the Internet. As you continue reading, you will come to know that it can do even more stuff, but let’s stick with this for the sake of simplicity for now.
Why is Kodi So Popular?
I’ll get straight away to the point: The reason why Kodi is so popular is two-fold. 1:Kodi is a powerful media player that can play anything you throw at it, it is compatible with more devices than you can ever imagine, and turns any of your devices into a full-blown media streaming solution. Remarkably good, but that doesn’t still fully explain why it’s so popular, right?
2:It (unfortunately) makes it incredibly easy to pirate TV shows, movies, songs and other similar kinds of content. The XBMC foundation is strictly against this, but the open-source nature of Kodi means that there’s little control over the kind of add-ons that any third-party developer can publish.
What All Can I Do With Kodi?
Once you get Kodi up and running, you’d be pretty dazzled by the number of things you can do with it. For starters, you can stream music, videos, photos and other multimedia from your local storage, Network-attached Storage (NAS), or directly via the Internet. Kodi supports various file-sharing protocols like the SMB and the NFS, so you can easily stream from a NAS. Kodi can also stream directly from YouTube and other similar web services with the help of 3rd party add-ons.
