| Stream all of the latest movies in an organized media center -- FREE |
First of all, if you do not have the Kodi (XBMC) software, click here to follow my step-by-step guide for installation and setup.
Once you have installed the software (including the add-on installer), you're ready to start streaming virtually unlimited free content, whether it be in the form of music, videos, TV, or movies, from a vast array of different third-party sources.
In order to start streaming your favorite content, however, you must first identify and install the channels that are most suited to your interests. In this guide, I will highlight a few of the channels that I have found to be my favorites and that I think would be of interest to many different sorts of people. These are in no specific order.
1) Open Kodi. Go to videos --> add-ons --> video add-ons --> get more.
2) You are presented with a list of all of the video add-ons that are available for download. Below is the list of add-ons that I have deemed to be most interesting and useful. Based on your own personal preferences that I may have left out, I would still encourage you to skim the entire list of add-ons for yourself, in case I do not share the same niche interest as you.
Best Kodi Video Add-Ons:
For General Use -- Anyone would benefit in some way from installing the following video add-ons.
- 1Channel
- This add-on is self-explanatory. It attempts to bring you everything that you would ever need -- in one channel. It has an extensive library complete with documentaries, reality-TV, tons of movies, and tons of regular TV shows. If you could only have one add-on, this may very well be my choice.
- Phoenix
- This channel also has a wide array of content. The most notable aspect of this add-on in my opinion is that it has live TV options which are sorted by their networks, as they would be on a normal TV guide. It also features news videos and videos for children.
- ProjectFreeTV
- For anyone who mostly enjoys network TV, this app is an absolute must. It seemingly has every network TV show that airs, and the interface allows you to view shows by date, as well as add a list of your favorite shows, for easy access.
- Icefilms
- In the same way that ProjectFreeTV is a must for anyone who mostly enjoys network TV, Icefilms is a necessity for any film buff, as it has the most expansive collection of movies available.
- Netflixbmc
- Allows you to stream your Netflix content in the same location as all of your other media options.
- USTV
- If the channels provided by ProjectFreeTv and 1Channel are not enough for you, you could also check out this app for the most comprehensive TV guide available for free.
My Personal Recommendations -- Those who share similar interests may also be interested in checking out these more niche add-ons.
- ESPN3
- My biggest disappointment in not having basic cable is the lack of ability to watch ESPN. This app takes care of that. Any sports fans, this is a must have.
- YouTube
- Stream YouTube videos.
- TED Talks
- View TED talks given by the most intriguing and intelligent individuals as they give speeches on breakthroughs in their field and changes which may alter the way we perceive the world around us.
- Khan Academy
- Useful videos for any students or anyone who has to learn difficult concepts in any subject area.
- VICE
- Anyone who is not familiar with VICE already, they offer a wide variety of different documentaries that are very interesting and unique in nature. They cover subjects that are often too controversial for mainstream media news outlets, and their content is very, very appealing, to say the least.
- TMZ
- If you also enjoy indulging in the occasional guilty pleasure of celebrity gossip and/or you simply enjoy dulling your mind with mindless gossip and ridiculous lifestyle choices, TMZ has got what you desire.
