The add-on ecosystem extends functionality with weather, news, lyrics, and streaming integrations - all completely free.

Format Compatibility: Kodi handles virtually every video and audio format including HEVC/H.265, AV1, MKV, MP4, FLAC, and more. For devices needing AV1 support, check our guide on getting AV1 codec on Android.

Library Management: Point Kodi to your media folders and watch it automatically organize everything with posters, descriptions, and ratings scraped from online databases.

Add-on Support: Access thousands of plugins for IPTV, podcasts, subtitles, and streaming services through Kodi's official repository.
