A Kodi player is a media player which helps you to play most movies, videos, music, TV, etc. Kodi player has been popular for a while now. As it is open source and freely available for Linux, Mac OS, Windows, and Android; hence widely popular among multi-platform users. It has customization features that make it, even more, better! We have options to change our themes. So for the best user experience, one can decently customize the theme. Here I provide you with some of the best Kodi Skins or themes available.
Kodi is a media player that supports multiple platforms, yet it falls short when it comes to playing the .mkv format media files (Popular movie, video format) So if you have MKV files, specially x265 encoded, you’ll need some sort of video converter to convert into x264 encoding video. But apart from that, we still love the Kodi media player.
Most of the themes are available in the official repository so that you can install them directly from the KODI player. More information is here.
1. DROID
