1.2 OpenELEC and Kodi introduction
OpenELEC is an operating system build around “Kodi”: An open source entertainment
media hub. Because of its open source system, Kodi supports a large amount of Add-
ons, which are provided by third parties. Within Kodi you are able to add these Add-
ons from the default Kodi repository or by adding additional repositories from the
internet. The functionalities and the availability of the Add-ons solely depends on
these third parties. If a third party decides to make changes to a certain Add-on or
decides to stop supporting Add-ons, Eminent cannot guarantee the continued
functionalities and the availability of the Add-ons! Eminent does not support any of
these Add-ons and will direct you to Kodi, OpenELEC or the forum/website of the third
party manufacturer.
