Kodi will also scan all of your media and automatically create a personalized library complete with box covers, descriptions, and fanart. For example, Kodi can play CDs and DVDs directly from the disk or image file, most popular video formats on your hard drive, and even files inside ZIP and RAR archives. You can stream your multimedia from anywhere in the house or directly from the internet using almost any protocol available. There are simple instructions on how to setup Kodi as a standalone player or to stream videos over a network.
Easy to setup and import your collection or stream media Confluence is used by default, so this is what will greet you upon install but you may wish to change it to something else using some of the free skins here. Kodi also has a highly “skinnable” interface, meaning that it can look radically different based on which skin is used. Kodi supports a huge range of remote controls and keyboard shortcuts, and feels like a real entertainment center. Kodi functions very well as a standard media player although it's far better if you use it as a complete home hub for your entertainment needs. Everything is extremely well presented and Kodi is clearly inspired by Apple TV in the way it looks and feels. Kodi is suitable for everything from watching Movies to streaming live TV and listening to Music.
