Versions from 12.0 (codename 'Frodo') have a PVR (Personal Video Recorder) GUI frontend for live TV with Electronic Program Guide (EPG) and high-definition digital video recorder (DVR or PVR) support.

It is a popular multi-platform alternative to Windows Media Center for HTPC (Home Theater PC) use. XBMC is highly customizable: a variety of skins can change its appearance, and various plug-ins allow users to access online content on services such as YouTube, Spotify, Grooveshark and Pandora Radio. It allows users to play and view most videos, music, such as podcasts from the internet, and all common digital media files from local and network storage media. Kodi is available for multiple operating systems and hardware platforms, with a software 10-foot user interface for use with televisions and remote controls. Kodi Entertainment Center (formerly XBMC) is a free and open-source media player software developed by the XBMC Foundation, a non-profit technology consortium.
