The world of Kodi is a vibrant and highly active one. If you are still using a satellite dish or cable in this era, I strongly recommend you cut the cord and stream contents online. For cord cutters, Kodi is an eye candy. But if you are a beginner, then it’s appropriate for you to know that Kodi is a “free” and open source media player application that allows you to play and view podcasts, videos, music and pictures. The software itself is legal and platform agnostic and it utilizes add-ons to enhance its performance.
