:''Looking for information on the Kodi remote control app for Android? See '''[[Official XBMC Remote/Android|Kore -The official Kodi Remote for Android]]'''.''
{{forum link2|1=Read this page and still need help? Check out the [http://forum.kodi.tv/forumdisplay.php?fid=164 ''Kodi for Android'' support forum].}}
<section begin="intro" />Kodi for Android is a full port of the complete Kodi application to Google's [[w:Android (operating system)|Android operating-system]]. With the Android NDK (Native Development Kit for Android) Kodi runs natively under Android as a Native Activity application. The main goal for the Android port is to have Kodi working on inexpensive Android set-top-boxes. And whole Android smartphones and tablets are not the main target platforms they do have limited support as well.<section end="intro" />

== Main topics ==
Other Android-specific wiki pages for topics, guides, and advice. For '''[[General topics|everything else]]''' standard Kodi pages will normally apply.

== Tips and tricks ==
{{see also|Android FAQ#Performance tips|Android FAQ#Troubleshooting}}
<section begin="FAQ Performance notes" />
* Avoid using wireless. A lot of Android boxes and "sticks" have weak wifi, even those that advertise as being wireless-n. It may be possible to use a USB-to-ethernet dongle on some devices, or even a USB wifi adapter that has a better wifi radio than what is built-in.
* Switch to a different network protocol to see if that has any effect, i.e. [[SMB|SMB/CIFS]], [[NFS]], [[FTP]], [[WebDAV]], etc.
* Try sharing the media on another device to rule out a device-specific (or network) issue.
* Turn off thumbnails, Kodi -> Settings -> Video -> File and deselect 'generate thumbnails'.
* H.264 videos encoded with [[Hi10P]] profile will not work on some Android hardware as some ARM processors are not powerful enough to software decode it, and no hardware decoders exist for it. However, some newer/faster processors are able to playback Hi10P video using software decoding.
* If RSS feed is enabled, disable it in settings. This can make the main menu a bit faster.
* Running out of disk space storage, or want to try tweaking caching and other performance settings to achieve faster response times? See '''[[HOW-TO:Reduce disk space usage]]''' for help on modifying how Kodi handles images.<section end="FAQ Performance notes" />

HOW-TO:Install Kodi on Raspberry Pi

2016-10-02T11:37:00Z

Pander: /* Raspbian */

{{mininav|[[Raspberry Pi]]|page={{FULLPAGENAME}} }}
The basic hardware you will need is
* the R-Pi board itself
* a power supply (Micro-USB, 5V, 1200 mA)
* a SDHC memory card to install the software. (Because video decoding is more resource-intensive than many other operations, it may be more important to have a fast/high quality memory card for Kodi than for other uses.)

HOW-TO:Install Kodi for Linux

2016-10-02T11:35:35Z

Pander: /* Raspbian */

{{mininav|[[Linux]] {{l2| [[Installation]] }} }}
== Installing Kodi on Ubuntu-based distributions ==
{{warning|Some (later) Ubuntu versions include Kodi built by Ubuntu themselves. If you have installed Ubuntu Kodi, please remove the packages "kodi kodi-bin kodi-data" before trying to install team-xbmc PPA packages.}}

See [[SSH]] or [http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal Click here to find out how to use the terminal.]

Use the command line terminal and enter the following commands. Follow the prompts as you would any other software installation.

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kodi
</syntaxhighlight>

{{#lst:Team XBMC PPA|repos}}

Note that this PPA only provides builds for Ubuntu i386 and Ubuntu amd64 but not for Ubuntu armhf, which can run on a Raspberry Pi.

=== Installing binary add-ons (PVR, audio decoders, audio encoders, screensavers, visualizations, audio DSP) ===
{{see|Ubuntu binary add-ons}}

=== Installing a development build ===
{{see also|Development builds}}
To install a beta/unstable version of {{kodi}} you must first add the unstable repository, then install XBMC. Use <code>ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly</code> for nightly builds and <code>ppa:team-xbmc/unstable</code> for [[beta]] builds.

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kodi
</syntaxhighlight>

Note that if you have any addons (such as PVR clients), these must be updated as well (they will not be updated automatically):
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-get install kodi-pvr-mythtv
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Upgrading ===
<section begin="Ubuntu upgrade" />
To update Kodi when a new version is released, just do a general system/package or use the following commands in the terminal (or via [[SSH]]):

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
</syntaxhighlight>

{{note|In some cases where additional packages are required, Kodi will fail to upgrade when using the upgrade commands as above. To install additional packages use the command below:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
</syntaxhighlight>}}
<section end="Ubuntu upgrade" />

=== Downgrading to a stable version from a development version ===
If you install a nightly build or an unstable release and want to return to a stable release, follow these instructions:

Find the current PPA you are using:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-cache policy | grep team-xbmc
</syntaxhighlight>

Remove the unstable or nightly PPA where it says '''PPAHERE''':
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:PPAHERE
</syntaxhighlight>

Then restore the stable version with the following commands:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove kodi kodi-bin
sudo apt-get install kodi
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Downgrading between newer and older stable versions ===
{{incomplete}}

=== Uninstalling ===
If you need to remove and purge an application and finally removing/purging also the application configurations files, do so by using the following commands:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash" enclose="div">
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove kodi*
sudo apt-get purge kodi*
</syntaxhighlight>

Then remove the settings folder to remove all settings and library data. This will not delete any videos or music, but just the settings and library data itself:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
rm -r ~/.kodi/
</syntaxhighlight>
or
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash" enclose="div">
rm -r ~/.xbmc/ # for older versions before 14.0
</syntaxhighlight>

== Third Party Repositories ==


The instructions in this section are for unofficial Linux binaries that are un/semi supported by Team Kodi. Most of those binaries use system ffmpeg or even worse totally untested libav, which is not recommended for {{kodi}} as we support ffmpeg only.

=== Debian ===

The installation if you are using Debian (Jessie), you can use the debian-backports repository.

Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file, as superuser (sudo)

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
# kodi repos
# starting with debian jessie, debian provides kodi via its backports repository
# remember: those packages are not supported by team kodi
deb http://http.debian.net/debian jessie-backports main
</syntaxhighlight>

And then, update APT and install Kodi.

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kodi
</syntaxhighlight>

Enjoy your new Kodi.

=== Fedora ===
Refer to [[HOW-TO:Install Kodi on Fedora 23 using RPMFusion packages]] for a guide showing how to install Fedora 23 and Kodi to create a quick-booting, standalone style of media player.

=== OpenELEC ===
{{main|OpenELEC}}
{{#lst:OpenELEC|intro}}

=== KodiBuntu ===
The installation instructions on this page are intended for people who already have a Linux-based OS setup, or wish to do their own installation of Linux. Alternatively you can try out [[KodiBuntu]], which will install both an OS and {{kodi}} with an easy installer.

{{main|KodiBuntu}}
{{#lst:KodiBuntu|intro}}

=== Raspbian ===
{{see also|HOW-TO:Install Kodi on Raspberry Pi}}
Installing on Raspbian is done with:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-get install kodi
</syntaxhighlight>

Upgrading on Raspbian is done with:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
</syntaxhighlight>

At the moment the build in Raspbian are outdated. At the moment only http://michael.gorven.za.net offers prebuild packages.

== Installation from source ==
If distribution packages are not available, or you need a newer version, or specific features enabled, then you will most likely need to compile from source. While compiling from source does not differ very much between distributions (except for installation of build dependencies), a few different guides are available in this wiki.

* [[HOW-TO compile XBMC for Linux from source code]]
* [[HOW-TO compile XBMC for Linux on Debian/Ubuntu]] - This is a tutorial on how to compile and install {{kodi}} on Debian and Ubuntu.

=== KodiBuntu ===
The installation instructions on this page are intended for people who already have a Linux-based OS setup, or wish to do their own installation of Linux. Alternatively you can try out [[KodiBuntu]], which will install both an OS and {{kodi}} with an easy installer.

{{#lst:KodiBuntu|intro}}

=== Raspbian ===
Installing on Raspbian is done with:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-get install kodi
</syntaxhighlight>

Upgrading on Raspbian is done with:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
</syntaxhighlight>

== Installation from source ==
If distribution packages are not available, or you need a newer version, or specific features enabled, then you will most likely need to compile from source. While compiling from source does not differ very much between distributions (except for installation of build dependencies), a few different guides are available in this wiki.

HOW-TO:Install Kodi for Linux

2016-06-24T10:12:23Z

Pander: /* Installing Kodi on Ubuntu-based distributions */

{{mininav|[[Linux]] {{l2| [[Installation]] }} }}
== Installing Kodi on Ubuntu-based distributions ==
{{warning|Some (later) Ubuntu versions include Kodi built by Ubuntu themselves. If you have installed Ubuntu Kodi, please remove the packages "kodi kodi-bin kodi-data" before trying to install team-xbmc PPA packages.}}

See [[SSH]] or [http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal Click here to find out how to use the terminal.]

Use the command line terminal and enter the following commands. Follow the prompts as you would any other software installation.

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kodi
</syntaxhighlight>

{{#lst:Team XBMC PPA|repos}}

Note that this PPA only provides builds for Ubuntu i386 and Ubuntu amd64 but not for Ubuntu armhf, which can run on a Raspberry Pi.

=== Installing binary add-ons (PVR, audio decoders, audio encoders, screensavers, visualizations, audio DSP) ===
{{see|Ubuntu binary add-ons}}

=== Installing a development build ===
{{see also|Development builds}}
To install a beta/unstable version of {{kodi}} you must first add the unstable repository, then install XBMC. Use <code>ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly</code> for nightly builds and <code>ppa:team-xbmc/unstable</code> for [[beta]] builds.

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kodi
</syntaxhighlight>

Note that if you have any addons (such as PVR clients), these must be updated as well (they will not be updated automatically):
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-get install kodi-pvr-mythtv
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Upgrading ===
<section begin="Ubuntu upgrade" />
To update Kodi when a new version is released, just do a general system/package or use the following commands in the terminal (or via [[SSH]]):

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
</syntaxhighlight>

{{note|In some cases where additional packages are required, Kodi will fail to upgrade when using the upgrade commands as above. To install additional packages use the command below:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
</syntaxhighlight>}}
<section end="Ubuntu upgrade" />

=== Downgrading to a stable version from a development version ===
If you install a nightly build or an unstable release and want to return to a stable release, follow these instructions:

Find the current PPA you are using:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-cache policy | grep team-xbmc
</syntaxhighlight>

Remove the unstable or nightly PPA where it says '''PPAHERE''':
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:PPAHERE
</syntaxhighlight>

Then restore the stable version with the following commands:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove kodi kodi-bin
sudo apt-get install kodi
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Downgrading between newer and older stable versions ===
{{incomplete}}

=== Uninstalling ===
If you need to remove and purge an application and finally removing/purging also the application configurations files, do so by using the following commands:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash" enclose="div">
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove kodi*
sudo apt-get purge kodi*
</syntaxhighlight>

Then remove the settings folder to remove all settings and library data. This will not delete any videos or music, but just the settings and library data itself:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
rm ~/.kodi/
</syntaxhighlight>
or
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash" enclose="div">
rm ~/.xbmc/ # for older versions before 14.0
</syntaxhighlight>

== Third Party Repositories ==


The instructions in this section are for unofficial Linux binaries that are un/semi supported by Team Kodi. Most of those binaries use system ffmpeg or even worse totally untested libav, which is not recommended for {{kodi}} as we support ffmpeg only.

=== Debian ===

The installation if you are using Debian (Jessie), you can use the debian-backports repository.

Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file, as superuser (sudo)

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
# kodi repos
# starting with debian jessie, debian provides kodi via its backports repository
# remember: those packages are not supported by team kodi
deb http://http.debian.net/debian jessie-backports main
</syntaxhighlight>

And then, update APT and install Kodi.

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kodi
</syntaxhighlight>

Enjoy your new Kodi.

=== Fedora ===
Refer to [[HOW-TO:Install Kodi on Fedora 23 using RPMFusion packages]] for a guide showing how to install Fedora 23 and Kodi to create a quick-booting, standalone style of media player.

Pander: /* Basic options */

{{mininav|[[Raspberry Pi]]|page={{FULLPAGENAME}} }}
The basic hardware you will need is
* the R-Pi board itself
* a power supply (Micro-USB, 5V, 1200 mA)
* a SDHC memory card to install the software. (Because video decoding is more resource-intensive than many other operations, it may be more important to have a fast/high quality memory card for Kodi than for other uses.)

| Display Mode
| Display Kodi in a window, or fullscreen on the selected screen.

|
:-Display/Resolution 
| Changes the resolution that the User Interface is displayed in.
|
|-
|
:-Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen
| ...when active (Windows only). Does not use the DirectX fullscreen mode. The main benefit is for multi-screen configurations, where Kodi can be used at the same time as other applications without automatically minimizing. Uses a bit more resources and playback may be slightly less smooth.

:-Blank other displays
| In a multi-screen configuration, the screens where Kodi is not displayed are blacked out.

| Use limited color range (16-235)
| Use limited color range instead of full color range (0-255). Limited range should be used if your display is a regular HDMI TV, while full color range should be used if your display is a PC monitor.
|
|}

==== Video calibration... ====
{{Note|Always adjust your TV display settings before Kodi's settings (such as overscan, etc). In most cases, you can get a "just scan/just fit/PC mode/something" mode turned on that will not require any adjustments in Kodi, and will allow for the best screen quality.}}
This screen allows you to calibrate the User Interface by adjusting the overscan. Use this tool if the image being displayed is too large or small for your display.<br />
Simply adjust the screen so that the arrows are in the top left and bottom right corners and that the entire frame is visible on screen.

It offers the ability to adjust:
* The overscan of the video - How close to the edges of the screen that the image is displayed.
* The position where subtitles are displayed (default 1042 for 1080p, 694 for 720p and 463 for 480p).
* The pixel ratio allows you calibrate the aspect ratio at which videos are played back.

This setting does not apply to passthrough audio connections, if enabled.

;For analog connections
:This is the number of speakers outputs used, which is likely the number of speakers your system is using. Note that some "2.1" systems only use two audio channels and do not have a dedicated subwoofer output.

{{redv|'''IMPORTANT NOTE:'''|
The "'''capable receiver'''" options relate only to the '''passthrough''' of audio to another device such as an AVR, where that device must support decoding of the format. Before leaving any "'''capable receiver'''" option enabled check to make sure that both the playback device running Kodi (e.g. HTPC) and the connected device (e.g. AVR) both support that format.

If you have a "'''capable receiver'''" option enabled that your device does not support then this will result in poor playback of video typically with a very low frames-per-second and no audio, so for example if the '''TrueHD capable receiver''' option were enabled then make sure that the playback device can passthrough TrueHD and that the connected device can decode TrueHD, if either of the devices do not support TrueHD then the '''TrueHD capable receiver''' option '''MUST''' be left disabled.

For any format where the "capable receiver" option is not selected, Kodi will still playback any content containing those audio types, however instead of the audio being passed through, Kodi will decode audio and then send the audio in a compatible format.

If connected directly to a TV be aware that TV are not compatible with DTS, TrueHD or DTS-HD, typically the only encoded format a TV will be compatible with is AC3.}}

=== Locked out? ===
Kodi will give you three tries when you need to enter a lock/password to access something that is locked. If you max out these three tries then just quit Kodi and re-open it to get three more tries. The Master Lock code is stored in the "'''profiles.xml'''" file in the [[userdata]] folder. Should you get locked out, you can delete or edit the "'''profiles.xml'''" file.

=== Advanced settings ===
{{note|It's generally not recommended to manually edit guisettings.xml at all. If you're unsure about this, don't touch it. Strange things might happen (maybe?). Spooooky.}}
The number of tries before being "locked out" can be tweaked by manually editing the guisettings.xml file in the [[userdata folder]].

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml" enclose="div">
<masterlock>

<startuplock>false</startuplock>
