The use of artwork takes pride of place in Kodi. The artwork will transform your mundane media player into a showpiece to be proud of, especially when teamed up with your favourite skin. Kodi will allow you to display Movie Posters, Fanart, Album Covers, Actor and Artist images to name a few. Install the Kodi slideshow add-on, and you will have a constant display of movie or music fanart to brighten your entertainment room.


The artwork section can become quite complex, so it has been broken down into the primary categories for ease of reading.
