如何使用Kodi入門指南

Kodi is a popular media server application that can not only help you manage offline media libraries, but also stream online content. To my surprise, although it is very useful, no one seems to know its role except the dedicated core user. I mean, people who use Kodi will be surprised, and those who don't use Kodi know nothing about it.

What exactly is Cody?

About ten years ago, the Internet speed was frustrating, and the online streaming platform almost disappeared. This is a culture with physical copies of movies, music, etc. Users prefer to download media content through the Internet rather than streaming media, because the Internet speed is very poor

This means that they must maintain a large amount of media resources and organize and maintain large media content libraries, such as movies, music, or images, in a separate directory, which is a tedious task.

You have to traverse the basketball to find what you want to play. Sometimes, the local media player does not even play it because it does not support the media format. Cody can solve all these problems. It simplifies everything and brings the entire media consumption experience together.

All you need to do is open Kodi, all local media files are there and can be played in a stylish, easy-to-access interface. Therefore, Kodi is basically a media server application that can not only help you organize and manage media, but also access and play it from any device in your home network.

Install Kodi

Kodi can be used on a variety of devices, including Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux, Fire TV, etc. Since we have published the Kodi installation guide for all these platforms, you can simply click on the link below to see how to install Kodi on your device.

How to use Kodi

Now that you have completed the installation process of Kodi, let us continue with some basic knowledge on how to use Kodi. In this part, I will start with the interface and then go deep into the settings and add-ons to explain Kodi's useful features .

I use Kodi on a Windows laptop, but on all other platforms, Kodi UI and overall settings are the same. Therefore, you can make the same settings on any device.

Understanding the Kodi user interface

To use Kodi, you must first understand its user interface. Fortunately, the default Kodi interface is very basic and clean. The latest version of Kodi is 18.2 (codename Leia), the following screenshots are taken from the same version. You have multiple menus on the left, which are categorized according to the type of content.

You can switch between them and access all local media content with just one click. Initially, you must share the local media library with Kodi by clicking on "input file" under each category. However, once set up, all media can be accessed from Kodi itself.

 

Kodi add-on world 

Kodi has something called Kodi add-ons, they are basically apps built for Kodi. They are very similar to Android or iOS apps that can be installed on Kodi to bring extra features, content and functionality. Just like the App Store or Play Store, Kodi has a built-in official repository that hosts thousands of add-ons.

If there is not much local content, you can install the video plugin from the Kodi official repository and access the cloud-based streaming service. Keep in mind that in some cases certain content is geographically restricted, so you will need a VPN to solve it. For your convenience, we have compiled a list of the best Kodi VPNs here.

 

There are also some third-party plugins that are very popular in the Kodi community. If you want to install a third-party Kodi add-on, you can check our latest Kodi add-on list. In addition, if you want the add-on to be dedicated to streaming movies, you can view our recommended movie add-ons here. 

What is Kodi Build?

If you are a beginner, then you must be wondering what the Kodi version is and how it differs from the Kodi plugin. Well, Kodi build is a custom package, it has a unique appearance, some powerful plug-ins for streaming movies and TV shows, utility plug-ins (such as subtitle manager, maintenance tools, etc.). Unlike the default Kodi (bare system only), Kodi Build is a complete software package. After installing Build, you will not have to find plug-ins or other tools separately. Everything meets your needs. Xanax and Titanium are some of the popular Kodi Build , but my favorite Xanax still has its amazing UI and content library. You can find more information from our list of the best Kodi versions.

This is our "Getting Started with Kodi". When everyone turns to cloud-based streaming services (such as Netflix and Amazon Prime), Kodi still has its own dedicated audience. I believe that if you want to manage content locally, it is much more powerful. If you have collected download content for many years, then you should definitely use Kodi to seamlessly organize all content.

Powerful media players, subtitles, add-ons, etc. will bring you a better experience. I hope this article helped you get started with Kodi. If you still have questions, please find the answer in the comments section and we will serve you wholeheartedly.
