Kodi App Requirements
Kodi is a media player that works on Android-powered devices. However, you’ll need to meet specific software and hardware requirements in order to enjoy the best Kodi experience.
1. Screen Size

Sideload Kodi from Third-Party Websites
If you can’t find an app store for your device, you can download Kodi’s package file and install the app manually. There are plenty of websites where you can download Kodi’s APK file, but not all of them are trustworthy. Make sure you download Kodi’s package file from safe APK websites—APK4Fun, APKMirror, APKPure, etc. Otherwise, your device may encounter issues parsing or installing the APK file.
To sideload Kodi, you will need to ensure that your Android device is able to install apps from sources other than the official store. ..
Settings > Apps & notifications > Advanced > Special app access. In this screen, you can control how your special apps are accessed.
Install Kodi on Huawei Android Devices
Huawei smartphones no longer support Google services, so the best option is to install Kodi from Huawei’s AppGallery.
Open the AppGallery app on your Huawei smartphone, search for Kodi, and tap the Install button next to Kodi. ..
If you’re reading this post on your Huawei smartphone, this link will redirect you to the Kodi page on AppGallery. Then, tap Install to install the app on your device.
Kodi’s website (http://kodi.tv/download/android) and the Huawei App Gallery (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.huawei.appgallery&hl=en) both offer ways to download and install Kodi on Android devices.
Install Kodi Add-Ons
If you want to install add-ons from the Kodi in-app repository, you first need to create a repository. To do this, open Kodi and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the screen. This will take you to a screen that looks like this: Once you have clicked on the three lines, a new window will open called Repository Settings. On this page, you will need to enter a name for your repository and select whether or not you want to publicize your repository. If you select Publicize, Kodi will make it easy for other users to find and install your add-ons. If you do not publicize your repository, other users can still find and install your add-ons, but they won’t be able to access the latest version of Kodi. Now that we have created our Repository Settings window, we need to add an addon. To do this, click on Add-ons from the top left corner of the screen and select either “Kodi” or “Android TV” from the list of options. Once you have selected an addon, click on Install from Repository in the bottom right corner of the window. Now that we have added our addon into Kodi, we can start streaming content from different sources. To start streaming content from different sources, we first need to enable subtitles for that source. To do this, open Kodi and click on Settings in the top left corner of the screen. Then under subtitles tab, select Enable Subtitles for this Source in order to enable subtitles for that source.
Install Add-on from Kodi Repositories
Some add-ons require an extra add-on to work correctly. So, make sure you approve the installation of the additional or helper add-ons. ..
Install Kodi Add-ons from Third-Party Repositories
Configure Kodi to allow add-ons from third-party sources
- Open Kodi and sign in with your Kodi account.
- In the left hand corner, click on the three lines in the top left corner of the screen (the three lines that look like a triangle). This will open a menu with options like “Settings”.
- On the “Settings” screen, click on “Add-ons”.
- In the “Add-ons” screen, select “Kodi Add-on Repository”.
- Click on the link in the bottom right corner of the screen to install the add-on.
Kodi is a free and open source media player that allows users to access a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and music. However, add-ons from third-party repos may damage your device and cause the Kodi app to malfunction. Therefore, ensure you download add-ons from reputable and safe repositories only. ..
Install Kodi on Android TV Boxes
To install Kodi on an Android TV device, you can either use the Play Store or sideload its setup file. We recommend doing the former, as it’s the safest and most straightforward option.
Open the Google Play Store on your Android TV home screen, search for Kodi, and install the app.
Stream Content On-the-Go
Kodi is a streaming media player that can be installed on your device. If you sideload an unofficial app version, you may encounter difficulties and risks when installing Kodi. Additionally, installing Kodi outside of your device’s app store comes with security risks. The app package file could contain malware that will harm your files.
