The following guide will teach you how to install Kodi on a Raspberry Pi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what makes Raspberry Pi so special? Generally, they are beloved because they are affordable and extremely extensible.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While they may not be as cheap as they<\/a> used to be, you can still find second-hand units at an affordable price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nevertheless, Raspberry Pi is still the most trustworthy brand in single-board computing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Students and engineers aren\u2019t the only ones who can use it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can use it as a console, mini-computer, or media player. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As the following guide will demonstrate, it\u2019s not that difficult either.<\/p>\n\n\n Kodi<\/a> has been around since 2002. It\u2019s open-source media software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since Kodi has existed for so many years, it has widespread support from the open-source community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As such, there are a large variety of ports and variants.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nevertheless, vanilla Kodi allows you to stream from services and channels such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Spotify, YouTube, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, you can stream live TV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is due to its inclusion of the digital video recorder<\/a> (DVR) and electronic program guide<\/a> (electronic program guide) codecs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kodi also features a large library of addons. You can use them to extend their capabilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kodi\u2019s codebase is available to the public through its official GitHub repository<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As such, you can potentially fork or clone it. This would allow you to create custom addons or your very own variant of Kodi.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite this fact, not all hardware can support Kodi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, it stands to reason that not all Raspberry Pi models are compatible. But which ones are?<\/p>\n\n\nTable of Contents<\/h2>\n
