When we have to install a multimedia player on our computer, the truth is that we have a wide variety to choose from. One of the most popular and used proposals around the world is Kodi and its add-ons , very useful as well as controversial.
This is a very complete program that helps us to reproduce all kinds of multimedia content such as videos, audio, photos, etc. It is a complete multimedia center that we can also easily improve with certain additions or add-ons that we install additionally. But these are somewhat controversial, due to those illegal add-ons that give access to videos and pay channels, but for free.
However, there are many other elements of this type that are 100% legal and that we can install and use in Kodi to improve it. To give you an idea, we can find these in many repositories that are on the Internet. With everything and with this, the Kodi player itself offers us a repository of add-ons in the program so that we can use it if we need it. In addition, these are cataloged by type so that we can find them more easily.
We have them related to music, video , the appearance of the program, games, decoders of all kinds, etc. That is why below we will talk about the advantages of using this repository of Kodi add-ons instead of other third-party ones that circulate on the Internet.
We avoid illegal Kodi add-ons
As we have mentioned before, there are certain add-ons for Kodi that are illegal. Therefore, its installation and use could cause us some problems. These could be related to the security of the PC, the operation of the program, or even problems with the law.
And it is that they give access, illegally, to paid content from around the world, which is clearly a violation of their copyright . This is something we avoid when using the native Kodi repository.
We do not install any virus on the computer
In addition to all this that we have commented to you, we can add that by using the complements that the program itself offers us, we avoid risks of viruses . With this, what we want to tell you is that some of these add-ons that we find on the Internet , have spying functions and therefore are considered as malware. This is especially evident in those add-ons that have already been abandoned by their original developers, but are still available to Internet users .
Repository categories define the use of each plugin
We have already told you before about the categories that are shown in the program itself, which are many. This will allow us to locate and install only what we really need on the computer. Contrary to what happens with other third-party repositories in which we add a multitude of unnecessary elements that are installed on the computer.
Say that to take a look at all these categories , we first open Kodi in a conventional way. Next we go to Add-ons / Install from repository so that they appear on the screen.
We have a description of each one before we install it.
But that’s not all, but also, by accessing the corresponding category and choosing an element that we need, before adding it to the program as such, we will be able to see what it is really about thanks to the description that we find. That does not always happen when we install add-ons from others, that sometimes we are not even entirely sure what that add-on really does.
