The Kodi application is a media player that allows users to access and play their own content from various storage locations, such as local or remote storage, DVDs, and Blu-Rays. It also has the capability to install third-party plugins that may provide access to freely available content from official providers. However, the use of these plugins to access illegal content is not endorsed by the Kodi team.
The Estuary skin is the new standard for Kodi and is designed to be fast and user-friendly. It is optimized for use on larger devices, such as phones and tablets with a screen size of 5 inches or more. It is not recommended for use on smaller phones.
It is important to note that Kodi does not provide any media or content. Users must provide their own content or install third-party plugins to access content. Kodi is not affiliated with any third-party plugin or add-on providers and does not endorse the streaming of copyright protected material without permission.
Kodi is a trademark of the XBMC Foundation and is fully open-source, released under the GPLv2.0+ license. It includes third-party libraries that use compatible licenses, but due to the inclusion of some GPLv3.0 libraries, the entire application becomes GPLv3.0 as a binary.
