Overview
Kodi (formerly known as XBMC) is an award-winning free and open-source (GPL) software media player and entertainment hub that can be installed on Linux, macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android, featuring a 10-foot user interface for use with televisions and remote controls. It allows users to play and view most videos, music, podcasts, and other digital media files from local and network storage media and the internet.
Features and Highlights
Music
Kodi can play all your music including mp3, flac, wav, and wma formats. It has a cue sheet, tagging support, and smart playlists for ultimate control of your music collection.

PVR
Kodi allows you to watch and record live TV all from the GUI interface. It works with a number of popular backends including MediaPortal, MythTV, NextPVR, Tvheadend, and many more.
Add-Ons
The real power of the media player comes from the vast selection of user-created Add-ons that are available through repositories. There are Add-Ons for popular web services, applications, and scripts.
Web Interfaces

Remote Controls
With support for hundreds of remote controls, CEC-compatible TVs, or one of the new Smartphone and Tablet Apps, the software allows you to control your media your way.
