The ability to install Add-on is probably the most fascinating feature of Kodi by which customer can install numerous adds-on that customize its interface. The open source feature makes it available for users to build their own favorite add-on.

You can think of a Kodi Addon as a base application that increases the functionality of the main application. There are actually thousands of add-ons that can be connected inside Kodi that will turn this media center application into the best online streaming platform. 

Accordingly, there exist so many unauthorized adds-on by which users can stream pirated contents.

As Kodi is a free app, you can install it on a variety of media boxes such as Amazon Fire TV, Raspberry Pi, PC and etc. However, the main drawback of Kodi is that streaming Kodicontent is quite tough as well as its interface is not user-friendly in comparison to other apps such as Plex. What is a Kodi addon?

The advantages

Kodi is created to work without keyboard and mouse.
You will have all your selection of artists/albums/songs in a specific place on Kodi, and you will have the option to navigate in a series of filters: Artists, Genres, Albums and a lot more.

With Kodi, you can use a series of physical remotes, like MCE and Harmony, or you can use an App on your Android or Apple device, like Yatse (Android) or Kodi Remote (Apple). But you can use a keyboard as you wish. Kodi just has the possibility to use others types of remotes. Control Kodi remotely by smartphone or tablet (XBMC)?

Kodi offers an interface clean very natural, with a lot of images of the artists, and album covers provide from images database and a lot of information about the artists/albums like Release Year, Genre, record company and others info provide from databases and with some skins, you can have the lyrics on display. Each skin has some particularities and depends on your taste. How to setup IPTV on Kodi?


The disadvantages

Warning: Kodi Add-ons (Specially Kodi Stalker) are not an Official application for watching IPTV, Hackers use this application to steal IPTV line details.

If you know nothing about tags on your song files, you will have a lot of work to have all the benefits of Kodi to play your songs. because Kodi needs this tags to compose your library. if your song files have wrong tags, Kodi will insert your song file in the wrong place inside the collection.

We don’t see any disadvantage using Kodi to listen to my songs on my HDTV and that remote that we’ve shown. The only problem is the tags because it’s a lot of work, but you only have to do it once.
