After struggling with Emby, Xiaoya and PT for a while, Qingxiaowa thinks it is a good way to return to tradition. Kodi is one of the traditional choices.

What is Kodi

Kodi is a cross platform software, but it is more like a free multi-functional TV box. It can run on a computer, mobile phone or TV, and then be used to play local movies, TV dramas, music, photos and other multimedia content. It can even live broadcast, check the weather, and play games through plug-ins. Turn your equipment into an all-purpose video entertainment center temporarily.

Yes, you can also use Kodi to view photos on the big screen 😂

New version of Kodi v21 (Omega)

This version integrates FFmpeg 6.0 (yes, it was released a few days ago FFmpeg 7.0 , so that sentence applies everywhere: don't move when you can use it 😂）、 It supports webOS system and improves stability, performance and security. There are also a lot of repairs.

Counterintuitive operation

The only thing that affects Kodi's use is its anti intuitive operation. After running Kodi, the screen will be full automatically. Then the whole operation mode is designed according to the remote control. If you use the mouse to operate, there will be a sense of separation. Is my mouse broken? No, it's just Kodi's problem.

Initial use of Kodi

Several problems need to be solved when using Kodi for the first time:

Set language to Chinese
Set font to display Chinese
Add Database

Then you can use it happily.

Play AliCloud disk videos with Alist

Artifact Alist AliCloud disks can be mounted and shared using the WebDAV protocol, while Kodi can directly mount WebDAV

Therefore, the combination of the two can also play AliCloud disk videos with Kodi.

In a word, Kodi is highly customizable, and can play tricks for students who are willing to struggle. For students who don't want to bother, they can easily watch local videos by loading local videos in the three steps mentioned above.
