KODI- WORLD'S NO. 1 MEDIA PLAYER

Kodi (formerly XBMC) is a free and open-source media player software application developed by the XBMC Foundation, a non-profit technology consortium.^[3] Kodi is available for multiple operating systems and hardware platforms, with a software10-foot user interface for use with televisions and remote controls. It allows users to play and view most streaming media, such as videos, music, podcasts, and videos from the internet, as well as all common digital media files from local and network storage media. DOWNLOAD

It is a popular multi-platform alternative to Windows Media Center for HTPC (home theater PC) use. Kodi is highly customizable: a variety of skins can change its appearance, and various plug-ins allow users to access streaming mediacontent via online services such as Amazon Prime Instant Video, Crackle, Pandora Internet Radio, Rhapsody Spotify, andYouTube. The later versions also have PVR (personal video recorder) graphical front end for receiving live television with electronic program guide (EPG) and high-definition digital video recorder (DVR) support.

The software was originally produced as an independently developed (homebrew) media player application named Xbox Media Center (abbreviated as XBMC) for the first-generation Xbox game console,^[5][6][15] and was later made available under the name Kodi (formerly XBMC) as a native application for Android, Linux, BSD, Mac OS X, iOS, and Microsoft Windowsbased operating systems.^[16] It is also available as a standalone version referred to as Kodibuntu.

Because of its open source and cross-platform nature, with its core code written in C++ (ANSI standard), modified versions of Kodi/XBMC together with a JeOS have been used as a software appliance suite or software framework in a variety of devices including smart TVs, set-top boxes, digital signage, hotel television systems, network connected media players and embedded systems based on armhf platform like Raspberry Pi. Derivative applications such as MediaPortal, Plex, ToFu, Voddler, andHorizon TV have all initially been spun off from XBMC.
