Kodi does not provide any video content or video streaming services. If you bought a "Kodi" player that was advertised as a streaming service than you probably have been mislead by a seller trying to make a quick buck. Kodi is a more akin to a video player, like your DVD/bluray player. The main aim of Kodi is to work with video files you have on your own computer or local network. Kodi can also access online videos using add-ons, but these add-ons are almost always made by the community and come from a third party service/source, and do not come preinstalled from official versions of Kodi. | |||
While there are many legal video third party add-ons and services for Kodi, be aware that some less reputable online sellers might try and bundle unofficial/unsupported piracy/bootleg add-ons. Such add-ons/services are not endorsed, encouraged, or supported by Team Kodi or the XBMC Foundation. Please do not ask about such services on official Kodi websites, forums, or other support channels. | |||
