Adding Content to Kodi - Official Repository
There are many different sources of content for Kodi. Almost any TV show, Movie, Sporting event, or Online streaming resource can be watched through the Kodi interface.
Not only can you can browse your own personal media content, you can install apps which provide access to online content.
However, not all of these Kodi Apps are supported by the Kodi community, developed by trustworthy sources, or even legal (which may depend on where you live).
Which brings me to the good news; there are many great apps in the Kodi Official Repository.
For example, the following Video Add-ons are included (as well as many others):
- Crackler
- Dailymotion
- The Disney Channel
- DIY Network
- ESPN Player
- Food Network
- Fox Sports
- Hallmark Channel
- HGTV & HGTV Canada
- MLS Live
- MTV & MTV On Demand
- NASA
- NBA League Pass
- NBC Sports Live
- NFL.com
- NHL Gamecenter & NHL.tv
- Nickelodeon
- PBS Think TV
- PlayOn
- Plex
- Red Bull TV
- Reddit.com
- Revision3
- Showcase Canada
- South Park
- Sportsnet Now
- TED Talks
- TVO & TVO Kids
- Vice
- Vimeo
- You Tube
While some of these may require subscriptions, you can see there is a wide range of content for everyone. Far more than you'll find in your basic cable package...
These supported apps should also be safe to use, and won't (at least shouldn't...) mess up your Kodi install.
To browse & install any of these add-ons:
- Go to 'Settings'
- then 'Add-ons'
- Select 'Install from Repository'
- Select 'xbmc.org Add-ons' (Kodi used to be called 'XBMC')
- Choose 'Video Add-Ons'
- Then select the Add-On you would like to install
- Select Install
Remember, Add-Ons in the official Repository are qualified for support from the Kodi community, so if you have trouble with one of these, head over to http://forum.kodi.tv/, and you will usually find a solution.
One of the best of these Add-Ons is the You Tube Add-On. However, lately there has been a common error occurring with this Add-On. If you ever start to see issues were You Tube fails with an error message: Quota Exceeded, or Daily Limit Exceeded, be sure to come back here to find a step by step solution to get rid of these annoying errors for good!
