If you're using Kodi without add-ons, then you've only experienced a fraction of what the versatile media player is capable of.
At its core Kodi is a slick media player with an interface that feels completely at home on TVs. It's also getting better with each update, and the recent Kodi Krypton update is its best yet.
It's also the go-to player on a variety of Android-based media players and set-top boxes.
We want to make it clear that neither TechRadar or Kodi endorse piracy. Unfortunately, some Kodi add-ons have been used to pirate copyrighted material which has resulted in Kodi being erroneously linked to piracy.
All the Kodi add-ons we mention in this guide are for streaming and watching legitimate content. This means you may need to have a subscription to the services, or in the case of BBC streams, a valid TV licence.
You can unlock all sorts of new abilities, and we've collected the best Kodi add-ons for you to install in your Kodi streaming box. These give you access to a universe of streamed audio and video, making Kodi the only software you need to act as the front-end of your entire home entertainment setup.
We've also included a guide on how to install the best Kodi add-ons, so you can quickly expand the functionality of your Kodi device.
The fact that Plex - a competitor to Kodi - has now released a Kodi add-on that brings its attractive UI, powerful Plex Server software and other great features to the Kodi platform, came as a surprise to many, as the services are often seen as fierce competitors.
While many people may think adding Plex to Kodi is a bit wasteful as they share many of the same features, it's actually a fantastic move. Now users can have the slick and professional Plex experience alongside the flexibility of Kodi.
If you're a home theater obsessive, then the Plex add-on for Kodi is a must, though you do need to have a Plex Pass subscription to use it.
No prizes for guessing what the iPlayer WWW Kodi add-on is all about. It's a Kodi interface for the BBC iPlayer streaming service.
Bang up to date with more official takes on this excellent service, it even reminds you that you need a UK TV license to watch content.
The real thrill of iPlayer WWW is that its very matter-of-fact interface makes it much easier to find shows to watch, quickly, than the iPlayer UIs you'll find built into TVs and game consoles.
If you don't mind your streaming Kodi add-on using a silly name and a bit of a silly lead image, Bulldog streams is worth a shot. It offers plenty of sport TV channel streams, as well as an Operation Robocop zone.
This is where you'll find Bulldog Streams's live event streams, a hot ticket in the Kodi add-on stakes. Some of the streams may take a while to load at peak times down to server load, but the streams on offer are varied.
