Kodi 21.3 official tvOS release and requirements
Use the Kodi Foundation’s tvOS download and installation instructions for Kodi 21.3, with the correct Apple TV model and setup.
Separate a tvOS release from a store listing
Kodi Foundation’s tvOS page lists Kodi 21.3 Omega under Recommended and links the platform installation instructions. Check that those instructions apply to your exact Apple TV model and current tvOS before you download. A guide about Apple TV on a smart television may refer to the Apple TV streaming-service app, which is a different platform from the Apple TV box.
Start with Settings → General → About or read the model number on the box. Apple’s model reference helps identify Apple TV HD, Apple TV 4K and earlier generations. Use Kodi’s documented tvOS route for supported hardware. A Kodi Windows or iOS file is not the tvOS package.
What to confirm before spending time on it
| Question | Where to check |
|---|---|
| Does Kodi publish this release for tvOS? | Kodi Foundation’s tvOS Recommended page and release notes. |
| Does my model have the required software and installation route? | Apple model documentation and the Foundation’s linked tvOS How To. |
| Do I need a player from the standard Apple TV App Store? | Look on the actual box for a verified compatible tvOS listing. |
| Will this replace a working Kodi configuration? | Record the Kodi version, supported add-ons and any source settings you need to keep. |
After installation, check one function at a time
- Confirm the application launches and responds to the Apple TV remote.
- Play a supported local or authorized source before configuring multiple lists or guides.
- If you plan to use PVR, check availability and compatibility of the add-on for this Kodi and tvOS build.
- If the installation step itself fails, give the publisher’s instructions and actual model number to support. Avoid replacing the file with an unverified repack.
