Got a smart TV? You ain't seen nothin’ yet!

Kodi puts your smart TV to shame. Kodi plays almost every kind of media you can find and looks great while doing it! Here are just a few things Kodi excels at:

Music

Your music collection has never looked this good! Support for almost every format, playlists, party mixes and more.

Movies

So much better than a pile of DVDs on a shelf. Kodi brings your movie collection to life with artwork, cast, genres and more.

TV Shows

Perfect for binge watching or the occasional catch up on your favourite show. Kodi keeps all your TV organised like nothing else.

Photos

Kodi is the best way to share your photos on the biggest screen in the house with a personal slideshow.

PVR

Kodi allows you to watch and record live TV all from an easy to use interface. It works with a number of popular backends including MediaPortal, MythTV, NextPVR, Tvheadend and many more.

Games

Kodi isn't just for passive entertainment media. You can also play games on Kodi. Pick from a large number of emulators, or even play a stand-alone game. There's even extensive support for game controllers.

But wait, there's more!

You can get a new skin to change the look of Kodi, or maybe you want to stream your favourite internet radio station and control it all with your web browser or mobile phone? This and so much more is all possible and easy with Kodi.
