Kodi alternatives are mainly Media Centers, but if you're looking for Media Players or Media Servers you can filter on that. Other popular filters include iPhone, Apple TV, Android, Linux, iPad, Media Center and Media Player. You can also filter by region, for example EU-based alternatives if you prefer software developed in the European Union. These are just examples - use the filter bar below to find more specific alternatives to Kodi.
