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 Addons, which are provided by third parties. Within Kodi you are able to add these Addons 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.
