Kodi is open source software that continues to gain popularity and market penetration over time. This is due, in addition to its enormous functionality, to its own user interface, format compatibility, or its stability. To this we can add the versatility offered by the Kodi player itself.
It refers to the multimedia world of software, at the moment we can use all kinds of programs, more or less powerful. However, along with the beloved by many, VLC , this is an alternative widely used around the globe. It is true that on occasions it has been involved in some legal controversies. But you have to know that the program, and many of its add-ons , are completely legal.
The il-legality with which Kodi has always been related, is rather given by the illicit use that some of its users make of the program. But with everything and with this, it must be admitted that the program itself, without additions, is already very complete. It allows us to reproduce and manage our libraries of music, videos, photos, etc. In addition, all this from a very functional own user interface that looks more like an independent operating system than a normal program.
But of course, one of its main functions is the reproduction of content as such, so we will talk about how to get the most out of the player.
Specify custom advance time
When we start playing a certain video on Kodi, it may be the case that we need to make big leaps in it. This is something we achieve with the keyboard instantly and quickly. To do this, all we have to do is press the up and down arrows to move forward or backward.
By default, this jump is carried out in an interval of ten minutes, but this is something that we can customize based on our needs. To do this, we just have to go to Settings / Player / Videos.
Set subtitles directly in the Kodi player
On certain occasions, subtitles are very important in video playback. Either for issues related to education, or simply to understand the content we see. But in order to adapt these texts to the image we have on the screen, what better time to make these adjustments than at the moment of playback.
If we need this, we just have to click on the button in the shape of a dialog box in the lower right corner of the player . Here we can specify its delay, search for new ones or even download them from the Internet.
Add bookmarks to video on Kodi
On many occasions it is the case that we stop playing a certain video halfway on Kodi. Therefore, in this case, we are sure to be grateful for not having to start all over again in the future. At the same time we may need to point out certain scenes that we want to remember later.
Well, for all this, the same Kodi player offers us a function of bookmarks that we use for all this that we are commenting on. By clicking on the Bookmarks button in the lower right corner, we will have the possibility to create, delete or consult these elements that we are commenting on.
