'''Kodi''' is a free open source media player for [[Windows]], [[Linux]], [[Android]] and [[iOS]] that is fast becoming the most popular application to [[Cut the cord]] from expensive cable TV subscriptions. Founded in 2003 as XBMC, which stood for [[Xbox]] Media Player, "It allows users to play and view most videos, music, podcasts, and other digital media files from local and network storage media and the [[internet]]." More than 450 [[software]] developers have contributed to Kodi to date and is available in 65 languages.
The installed application contains zero media. Users must download third-party add-ons that enables streaming [[TV] channels or movies. You can also download from your personal DVD or [[CD-ROM]] collection to Kodi. A majority of the content available online is free. A few major industry players have invested heavily in this type of distribution and many pay-to-subscribe cable channels exist. In addition, illegal or pirated content is easily accessible and may have been the deciding factor for [[Amazon]] removing Kodi application downloads from its app store.
