Just because they’re official, doesn’t mean they’re boring. In fact, the official Kodi repository contains dozens of useful Kodi addons that are sure to bring you limitless hours of entertainment. Kodi is extremely picky about which addons make it into their repository, and as such most developers choose to develop independently without being restricted by rules surrounding update frequency, code structure and content.
We’ve gone through the official Kodi addon repository carefully, and have selected what we believe to be the most useful Kodi addons for the greatest number of people. Some of the Kodi addons below might not interest you at all, just ignore them and embrace the ones that suit your needs. While installing any of the Kodi addons below, take note of other availabilities which may be to your liking.
