When we refer to Kodi , we are talking about a program that acts as a multimedia player and that you can install on multiple devices. Not only can we use it on a Windows PC, but it is also compatible with mobile devices or even with video game consoles.
It is a program that largely due to its widespread popularity, does not stop improving and adapting to the times. How could it be otherwise, this is something that is achieved largely thanks to the updates that its developers send periodically. These add new functions to the application, in addition to correcting the latest errors detected and improving some of the existing features. It is for all this that from here we have the possibility of managing and playing our library of music, games, videos, photographs, etc.
But not all Kodi users, in fact the majority, are not satisfied with everything that we find natively in this application. Therefore, what many do is install third-party add-ons to increase the functionality of the program as such. Also keep in mind that not all add-ons are illegal, as some think. Many of them are provided by completely legal sources and can be very helpful. In fact we can say that there are plugins of this type separated by multiple categories, some of them that you have never even heard of.
That is why below we will discuss some of these types of add-ons that you can use for Kodi. Each type or category, depending on the repository, contains several elements of this type, as you can imagine. In fact, you can find many of them in the Kodi repository itself.
PVR Clients
These add-ons give us, directly, access from this program to live broadcasts of channels from all over the world. And we are not talking about add-ons that call payment platforms, but everything completely legal. This way we will have a huge amount of live content.
Accessories for games
As we mentioned before, from here we can even manage our library of games , so we can also find add-ons for them. In fact, in this category we find popular elements such as emulators, independent games, controller profiles, etc.
Add-ons for time
Although for many it does not make much sense, it is worth noting that we can also add add-ons to Kodi to integrate the weather into the program. Thus, with just a few adjustments, such as entering our city, we will be informed in this regard at all times.
Additional context menus
Kodi has its own menus and options so that we can manage the program, but through these add-ons we can add new ones. What they actually offer us are calls to new functions that we cannot find natively in this multimedia center.
Song lyrics
In the event that we have added our music library here, we can make use of these add-ons that we comment on. They look for the lyrics of the songs that we indicate to, for example, convert Kodi into a whole karaoke .
