Kodi® media center is an award-winning free and open source cross-platform software media player and entertainment hub for digital media for HTPCs (Home theater PCs). It uses a 10-foot user interface designed to be a media player for the living-room, using a remote control as the primary input device. Its graphical user interface (GUI) allows the user to easily browse and view videos, photos, podcasts, and music from a harddrive, optical disc, local network, and the internet using only a few buttons.

Yes! The update fixed everything! Now working way faster and everything working in my galaxy s9 running on os10. Nice job and well done. I will update the firestick and my s5 with this update. Just installed 18.8 into firestick 2nd gen. WOW! What an upgrade! Everything flys and working great. Again, Nice job and well done!

Custom keyboard screws with Android TV. They use a custom keyboard, not Android's. This causes massive issues with Android TV devices, making it hard to enter any text input at a reasonable speed. Use the standardized android input field. It's there for a reason. Not only that, the app itself is a gaudy mess.

Needs to be addapted to mobile. The app works just like the PC version. There hasn't been any attempt that I can see to change anything, consequently the screens are very tiny. I uninstalled it after using it one time as I can't see myself using it. Too bad, as I love the pc version.

I can't imagine my day without it. I wish it had more menu/item descriptions and the functionality was more PC like (hover, right-click item menu, etc..) while still using it on an A. tv box with a hand-held keyboard & touchpad. You know just the run of the mill basics... 🙄 😈😇

Excellent! Have a TV antenna at 45' on a tower and a remote computer with a TV tuner Hauppauge dualUSB and NextPVR. Hardwire CAT5e running back to my house. This works great for viewing the TV on it. Over 50 channels, sometimes close to 100 depending on propagation!

The new version loads, but after the first time using an add on, the screen just goes black after showing the loading screen. Even clearing the cache and closing the app doesn't work. Using a S20 Ultra.

Such a buggy buggy application I don't know from one day to the next 1 I open it if it's gonna crash on me and not let me do any work on it or had some of the resources to it so having said that I just delete it and there's other things out there that are just as good I love using the fire stick so Cody I guess probably was good at 1 time but now it's a it's a dead Application

App is not sending HD audio signals(dolby true hd or dts hdma( from android TV to AV receiver. My TV has earc feature and it is connected with av receiver which has earc option. Any options to include it. Other than that, this app is very good.

2020-07-17T18:57:18.666Z
Because of the custom keyboard and no copy paste feature it is practically impossible to configure access to any servers, home storage or streams. Please make using the normal keyboard an option.

Best video player ever. It might be overkill for me because I only play video from local storage. But the subtitles position is the best. It's not like other video player who has large subtitles and stretched subtitles font.

We use this for Everything from tv, music, movies, etc. I'm almost 40 and not great with technology but it is easy to use and there are lots of instructional videos on youtube.

I like this player a lot, really serves almost all my needs. I would give 5 stars if you implemented that upon updating the movie library, the deleted movies would be also automatically removed.

The app just opens to a black screen. I've reinstalled multiple times and it's the same every time. I approve the permissions and nothing happens after that. I can open a video in Kodi if I open from a file browser, but have no playback controls.

Updated review - Still doesn't currently work at 120hz. You just get a black screen until i drop my settings to 60hz. Kodi don't seem interested in fixing this as its been present for at least 6 months

From an engineer's point of view this application is a GUI and application architecture nightmare, but from a practical point of view based on doing the job, well KODI / XMBC definitely works for me on Xbox, Android, Android-TV and Windows. So kudos to the team. Cheers from Canada.

It works well on my android except every once in a while the touch features won't work properly and I have to use a keyboard or controller to make it work and it won't work with a mouse

Had a problem where the app would open to a black screen then close a second later, a fix for this is to clear the cache and the app will work fine. Other than that, the app is pretty great.

Kodi doesn't work on Samsung galaxy s20 ultra, if your phone is switched to 120hz it gives you a black screen , you need to make sure your phone is in 60hz settings for you to view kodi

Kodi used to be an amazing app. Now it's an atrocious waste of time and that really sucks! I'm gonna get an RD account and see if that helps with streaming but if not, I'm washing my hands of all this once and for all, for good. Hundreds upon hundreds of hours wasted, cuz of greed and deception. Time I can never get back. Good luck people and use this app wisely!

Plays everything I throw at it. Has a built-in file browser. Sound sync works correctly, (most players don't sync correctly.) Though x265 files play choppy on most devices, that's the hardware. Extremely configurable and frequent. The bad; vlc has auto find server. Kodi doesn't, so one has to configure their server information themselves. The gui may be confusing at first. The text on most skins is very small on my small TV.

Gave it a shot but found it wasn't like a mobile app at all. Doesn't use the phones keyboard making copy/paste impossible as well as very hit and miss when trying to enter letters, It's stuck in landscape mode as well and all together the interface is somewhat limited and clunky. A shame really as the idea is probably good, just badly executed and needs a complete re-development for mobiles.

Lack of Subtitles support in UTF 8 is really disappointing. I am part of a voluntary subtitle creating group. Seeing our hard worked Subtitle as Squares in Kodi is really disappointing. Same time Plex Jellyfin are playing Subtiles very well. I always thought that on next update it will be okay. But never sort out. Seems like developers are not at all interested in Subtitle support.

Every now and then I give Kodi the chance to prove its point, and all it does is fail. There's always a time consuming issue to figure out and solve. Maybe I'll check it back in a couple of months, maybe I'll have given it up or even found sth which actually works.

Finally!!! An update that fixes the entire leia version series. It doesn't have any more bugs, or anything like that. I am going to be so excited for the V19 matrix update for the android version when it comes out a little later this year. When that update comes out then i will have not that much to worry about with problems that will might still remain in the update. Keep on surprising me XBMC foundation! Ya'll guys always do a great job!!! 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝

Kodi version leia , screensaver . When u watch a movie off hdd for example and u pause it by pressing the pause on the remote of nvidia shield pro 2019 model. The movie will pause and then after 1 minute it will go into a black screensaver or in my case i have the stars screensaver. But what i found is that if u pause the movie using the onscreen pause the screen only dims. It does not go into the stars screensaver mode just dims only. I also have dim screen disabled. Can u please fix this.

Buffers way too much. Very slow going between different scenes within the program. Very poorly programmed in handling resources. If this is open source I wish somebody with more programming experience takes it over and clean up all the bugs. It buffers within the programming it's self because it's so poorly programmed.

Very powerful and versatile entertainment tool... Would highly suggest not putting any personal or important information on the box. Most of the source software is Open source. Good luck, enjoy your Kodi experience and keep your tv box secure. TB

No information anywhere that's clear on how to set it up. It came with my android TV box and I spent an hour on Google trying to figure it out. Can't set up my wifi first and foremost. Honestly kodi looks awesome but there is no information on how to get it working. Like how do i connect my internet? How do I add stuff to start streaming? If there were clearer and honest to god good instructions then maybe id give it a better review

Always there... I keep coming back. I keep trying to find something better, but I have come to realize that this is the best. I have tried many alternatives, and nothing else comes close to Kodi. Thanks for letting us enjoy your wonderful system. You guys are the best! 👍👍

Playlists are awful and so much more complicated than they should be, Navigation is terrible! Some video playback from HDD breaks up (squares/blocking) but it doesn't break up if played via VLC on a PC so it's not the file. This is on an Android TV box x96air

I installed the Xanax build and took the app off. After a while, I put the app on but was startled by a really, really loud sound. I had headphones on and my volume was low but you could still hear it as if it was right in your ear.

Best and most versatile media player for android devices. Phone, TV, Set top box, Desktop, Laptop, Fire Stick or Raspberry Pi. This app can be installed on just about anything with an OS, a screen and some type of storage to hold the app. Can also be installed on Raspberry Pi as it's own operating system so that Kodi is all the device runs. Formerly XBMC. This app has been one of the greatest media players for a very long time. Stable. Fast. Highly configurable, easy to use and well supported.

some how worse on android (linux) phone then windows desktop. A dump app/program that VLC would out do in a heart beat if it also let you load a ton of "plug ins" that are only m3u playlists (the streams you are viewing).

Excellent multiplatform media centre, I can run identical frontends on my android TV, phone, xbox and raspberry pi, streaming media from various sources including Freeview over WiFi. Very active development and support forums. A bit of effort in the configuration is well rewarded. People complaining that it contains no content are missing the point!

For music it completely sucks. You can create playlists but don't add the wrong song or forget a song as you will not be able to edit, even though there is an edit option. It's hard to find and get to the playlist once you exit the add. Once you find the playlist again it's impossible getting it open as everything you tap on it the page goes to something else and if you click on anything on that screen it won't load.

Kodi is no longer working on my Sony TV running Android 8! It won't load ANY of my movies! Not a single one. I know the hard drive is working, since i plugged it into my Chromebook and Kodi plays movies fine on there. Both my Android TV and my Chromebook are running the latest version of Kodi. Please release a fix for this, i will change to 5 stars once this is updated.

I've gone to the settings and and cleared cache numerous times as well I just don't know what to do at this point

I can't fathom why Google Play does not have the latest version of Kodi. That would be 18.6 which is available via downloader on Firestick. I went to Android TV specifically to have Google Play and now I find it a disappointment. Overall Android 10.0 is a nightmare and this Kodi version does not support my favorite builds because they are updated to run on Kodi 18.6

I love my Kodi! Works like a charm! Don't know how I ever lived without it... lol. It takes a minute to get it all figured out and put together, but it's well worth the time and effort that's put into building it. I'll never be without it again. I highly recommend this app. Thank you to all the devs who make it possible!

love this app and thre 3rd party wizard applications its an amazingly awesome app that gives you access to a vast amount of very expensive material for free or very low cost. DO NOT LISTEN to posts that reflect badly on KODI for the fact that it is a bogus app and doesnt work. IT works beautifuly you just have to know how to work iot and it takes some practice

Installed on Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra and after accepting file access permission just goes to a black screen. Cannot change with reinstall or clearing cache etc. Needs fix Update. After doing my own research the issue is with ANY display refresh settings over 60hz so make sure you lower your refresh to install this and it works.

Adding to the folks w/ Pixel 4XLs... Open the app, grant permissions, and a blank black scrren appears. Doesn't appear to have any method to access any settings or menus. Will investigate activities to see if I can force something to work, and will post update. Still nothing. Sadly uninstalling.

My BF found this app recently. It has quiet a few new movies on it. Some l don't think have been in theater's yet. It's crazy. Its really neat, because we don't have the app on our RoKu. Only on our phones. Which is nice for personal use, but not for a movie night lol. My BF's phone can cast Whatever is on his phone screen to our TV via Blutooth. It can be a pic, movie, ANYTHlNG that shows up on his screen will show on the TV.....I'm Jelous lol.

Please add transcoding to E-AC3 (DD+) for Android TV, so many films in DTS-HD Master Audio have 7.1 channels and new TV's like Samsung or others don't allow DTS passthrough, transcoding to DD+ 7.1 or 7.1.2 for Atmos channels would be great.

Big fan of Kodi using it on previous Android phones and TVs, even on Raspberry Pi. Unfortunately it doesn't work on Pixel 4. Loads with a black screen after initial load and accepting media access. Restarted, removed, reinstalled... No difference :(

Anyone who gives KODI a bad review citing the inability to connect to (( whatever )) is wrong. KODI will connect to virtually anything via any network protocol. Like any powerful app, it requires a bit of time and thought to set up, so it's not for the lazy or stupid, but if you want a power packed media player, this is it. if you want an app that does everything for you, keep looking.
Pouya
2020-05-06T14:33:13.890Z
As others already mentioned the app goes to black screen on 90hz or higher refresh rates and kodi team developers "demand" other people to fix their app if they want "higher refresh rates than 60" because it's open source. Welp there are lots of other "open source" apps that are not stuck in the last decade

Well I finally got it fully up and running. It took the better part of 2 hours to find the right addon that works but at least now I can watch whatever I want on my phone. I would recommend the media app if you're watching on firestick. Much easier to figure out.

Bad every add on never works no matter which version, more trouble than its worth. Will take you countless hours just to get a decent addon then when you finally grt it work they release a new version which is usually a sub par than what it was before.

2019-05-15T00:31:49.325Z
Simple, this app was made to be customized. That unfortunately comes at the cost of usability, but with enough efforts, anything is possible. Just... don't use it to pirate stuff. That type of use is not supported by the developpers, because it's illigal. Plus, you need to have third party application to do that, so if you complain that it is too complicated, you are probably trying to install a third party addon. The only real problem is the keyboard. Overall, great, powerfull app.

Kodi 18.0 was not the "upgrade" I was looking for. The inability to play split archives is a dealbreaker for me. Sideloaded version 17.6 is where my Kodi experience will be from now on (that version is worth four stars). A pity for the developers who want to get their work into users' hands. Even if they fix version 18, I am unlikely to notice.

Just did the Kodi 19 update, Absolutely hate it. I loved it before this update, was simple and easy to find anything I wanted to watch... now however that is not the case. Hard to find shows I watched before, hard to get it to play anything and it crashes all the time. It doesn't show a description of the movie/TV show. Been trying to get it to play one TV show for almost an hour now, and only been able to watch one episode since 5am. Its terrible!

The display resolution is weird, unable to change the resolution at all, even I have hooked up to a 4k UHD tv, and the source file is a 4k UHD and my device had already set to 4k output , but my TV keep receiving only 720P signal, not even 1080P!

2019-06-16T01:14:24.744Z
love it when it works. sometimes the add-ons disappear and i have to redownload a build. it's not too complicated because i have a kodi configurator but it can be frustrating. it also takes a LOT of room to install the app and the build that makes it work. otherwise, great app. i tell all my friends about it. if these few small issues could somehow be remedied, I'd give 5 stars in a heartbeat but they are not serious enough to make the app an uninstall.

2020-06-23T04:55:57.736Z
This app sucks dick. Wasted like 40 minutes of my life trying to put on an add on just for it to not click open onto links. No add ons work. None of it does. It only gets as far as title but wont actually open up to links. Waste of time, this whole app not worth the potential legal issues that for sure.
