There are thousands of Kodi addons currently available for installation, each serves a different purpose and gives access to different content, ranging from movies and television, to foreign language content and more. Kodi addons are independently developed and are mostly used to “scrape” online content from different streaming web sites, and format it to be displayed through a Netflix style interface. Kodi addons however, are not part of the intended official use of Kodi, despite the fact that the addons are what Kodi is most widely known for. Kodi developers do not get paid for their work, and the project is governed by an American non profit organization known as the XBMC Foundation. Kodi itself is officially intended to be used for the purpose of organizing and playing your own media files. Did you hear about Kodi through the grapevine and think to yourself “what the heck is a Kodi?” If you did, this guide is for you! Kodi is an open source media player (open source means that the code is public, and people can alter it as they wish).
