Kodi addons

Or just sideload Kodi and have the best of everything

They exist, particularly as Kodi plugins.

Someone needs to make a streaming streamer to stream Netflix, Hulu, etc. I guess Kodi addons are just that.

Indeed, Kodi shines because it has native addons that make a consistent experience.

Everything is easy to drive via a TV remote.

The skin system lets you have as much UI eye candy as you like.

Chances are someone has made an addon for whatever you want to consume.

You're just running ye old HTPC otherwise.

But kodi is still an application with addons, Kodi is not going to allow you to run native applications on top of it

It's called fully-loaded Kodi.

Emby does, and emby also has an excellent Kodi addon.

Kodi is an amazing piece of software. Been a user since its xbox origins. Its a pity it's getting so much bad rep because of some addons which are nothing more than a ui for pirate streaming sites.

I think Kodi is closer to what you're looking for

khimaros | karma 428 | avg karma 1.87 · | 2022-03-21 08:52:38

it sounds like you want kodi

msh | karma 4884 | avg karma 2.66 · | 2017-09-26 17:16:45

I guess it depends on the features you use. I can't use kodi as I need transcoding and streaming to multiple local devices.

StavrosK | karma 1 | avg karma 0.0 · | 2016-10-12 17:34:31+00:00

Oh yeah, that's a great use case as well. Kodi is fantastic.

You can do it using your distro of choice and KODI.

ghosh | karma 23796 | avg karma 7.45 · | 2015-08-05 08:26:16+00:00

maybe you can use Kodi

LeoPanthera | karma 26644 | avg karma 5.67 · | 2022-09-15 20:49:39

I'm sure you could run Kodi on top of this, but then it would be just as restricted as any other app, and not be able to do the things I mentioned compared to running it directly via something like LibreELEC.

Kodi can actually run third party apps, for what it's worth: https://kodi.tv/addons/matrix/

And you can sideload apps. If you put Kodi in it, it's just one click to avoid all the ads.

I recently added some plugins to Kodi so I can watch Netflix from within Kodi.

It has improved the experience so much I am actually using it more.

Maybe Kodi?
