Kodi media center is an award-winning free and open-source cross-platform media player and digital media entertainment center software for HTPC (Home Theater PC) that can run on Linux, OSX, Windows, and Android systems. It is an excellent free and open-source (GPL) media center software. Originally developed for Xbox, it was called XBMC (Xbox Media Center), which is the media center for the Xbox platform. For Xbox players, if XBMC is not installed, playing Xbox loses at least half of the fun. With the participation of developers worldwide, this software has far exceeded its previous capabilities, and it can no longer be described as ‘a simple player’. For this reason, after XBMC 14, it was renamed Kodi.

The graphical user interface of Kodi allows users to easily browse and watch videos, pictures, listen to radio and music from hard drives, CDs, local area networks, and the internet with just a few clicks of the remote control. The Kodi project is managed by the non-profit XBMC Foundation, and volunteers from all over the world participate in its development. Since its inception in 2003, over 500 software developers have contributed to Kodi, with 60 core developers. Additionally, more than 200 translators are helping to expand its reach, supporting up to 72 languages.

Kodi (then called “Xbox Media Center”) was originally developed as a media center application for the first generation Xbox game console (which is no longer supported) and is now officially running as a native application on Android, Linux, Mac OS X, iOS, and Windows operating systems, supporting mainstream processor architectures.

Function Overview

Kodi can play almost all popular audio and video formats. It is designed for network playback, allowing you to stream multimedia from any location on your home network or directly from the internet using various protocols. Use your media as-is: Kodi can play CDs and DVDs from disks or image files, supporting reading from almost all popular compressed formats. Kodi scans all your media and creates a personalized library with complete cover images, descriptions, and fan art. It supports playlists and slideshow functions, weather forecast features, and various audio visualization effects. Once installed, your computer becomes a fully functional multimedia jukebox.

Kodi offers various extended functions through plugins, developed by both the Kodi development team and third-party developers. With community support, Kodi’s online content plugins are constantly growing, and the official plugin repository includes YouTube, Hulu, Grooveshark, Pandora Radio, as well as skins (themes), while third-party developers maintain many unofficial plugin repositories.

Language Support

Kodi supports multiple languages by default. Kodi has established a mechanism whereby if a certain language is not supported or updated, support can be added by registering for the Kodi Main Translation Project. The currently supported languages include Afrikaans, Basque, Brazilian Portuguese, Bulgarian, Catalan, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, American English, Esperanto, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Maltese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Mexican Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, and Ukrainian.

Hardware Requirements

Kodi requires a 3D GPU graphics hardware controller to support rendering. Such 3D GPU chips are now standard in computers, and many set-top boxes are also equipped with them. Kodi can run well on IA-32/x86, x86-64, or ARM CPU-based systems compatible with OpenGL 1.3 (with GLSL support), OpenGL ES 2.0, or Direct3D (DirectX) 9.0.

To decode 1080p full HD video smoothly without frame drops or playback stuttering, a dual-core 2GHz or stronger CPU is required. Kodi can delegate most video decoding tasks to GPUs and VPUs that support the following video hardware decoding interfaces: Android StageFright and MediaCodec API, Intel VAAPI, Nvidia VDPAU, AMD XvBA, Microsoft DXVA, Apple VDADecoder/VideoToolBox, or OpenMAX. Thanks to such hardware video decoding, Kodi can run well on inexpensive, low-power systems with modern GPUs and VPUs.

Kodi Official Release Versions

Fully functional Kodi can run on various platforms. The Kodi development team strives to maintain functional consistency across versions for different platforms, including low-power devices.

Kodibuntu

KodiBuntu (formerly XBMCbuntu) is a free Linux distribution based on Ubuntu that comes pre-installed with Kodi. It provides a complete media center software package for all IA-32/x86 architecture personal computers. KodiBuntu is based on Lubuntu rather than the desktop version of Ubuntu.

Android

The Android version of Kodi was first announced on June 13, 2012, and its source code was released. It is a complete port for Google’s Android operating system. This port does not use Java at all, but instead, it fully ports Kodi’s C++ and C source code and all dependencies through the Android NDK (Native Development Kit for Android) to handle multiple processor architectures (such as ARM, MIPS, and x86). The Kodi.APK is a native Android application.

iOS

The iOS version of Kodi was first publicly released on January 20, 2011, and it is a complete port for Apple’s iOS operating system. It supports 720p and 1080p H.264 hardware decoding and is compatible with various Apple mobile devices using Apple A4 or later processors. It requires jailbreaking the iOS operating system.

Linux

The Linux version of Kodi is primarily developed for Ubuntu. There are also some third-party installation packages for other Linux distributions. Additionally, Kodi can be compiled from source on any Linux distribution that has the required libraries installed.

Mac

The Mac version of Kodi runs on Intel processor-based Mac OS X systems and supports H.264 hardware decoding.

Windows

The Windows version of Kodi requires Windows Vista or higher. It is a 32-bit application that can also run on 64-bit Windows and hardware systems. However, it has not been optimized for 64-bit systems, so running it on 64-bit Windows does not improve performance.
