Find official Kodi downloads

Choose the Kodi Foundation’s recommended package for your device and keep the operating system, installer architecture and add-ons in sync.

Follow the page for the actual playback device

Use Kodi’s Downloads page and select the platform that runs the player. Choose the Recommended tab for the normal stable route, unless you have a deliberate reason to test a prerelease. The Foundation’s Windows and Android pages list Kodi 21.3 Omega under Recommended at this review. Its Kodi 22 Piers release candidate announcement is a separate release track.

If you use a TV with a streaming box on HDMI, download for the box. A Google TV package will not install into the native LG webOS app environment simply because both are viewed on the same screen.

PlatformWhat to verify

Keep upgrades and playback troubleshooting separate

  1. Record your working Kodi and PVR client versions before upgrading. Retain any authorized source settings you need to recover.
  2. Install the selected stable package by its publisher’s supported route. Launch Kodi and test a local file or known permitted media item.
  3. Add the supported IPTV Simple Client build if you need it. Load the playlist first and guide second.
  4. If the add-on fails after an upgrade, verify its release compatibility before changing network or service settings.

Check what happens on the television

Try navigation from the normal seat, including Back, the TV guide and subtitle selection. A Windows computer with a remote and a set-top device may reach the same media with different controls. If Kodi shows a blank schedule while video works, keep the successful player install and investigate the guide input.
