What is Kodi and How to get Kodi Chromecast running?

Kodi is Open source software especially designated by taking the idea of home entertainment in mind and the best thing is it is completely free.

Although in the start, it was only created for Microsoft Xbox and the name was given as Xbox Media Center (XBMC), the software started to evolve in one too many ways and started to build a community of its own.

Kodi is ran and managed by a non- profit XBMC foundation and is constantly upgraded by thousands of coders all around the world. Since the time it has been created in 2003, it has been shaped and shifted by almost 400 different software developers and has almost 300 translators.

How to install Kodi on a Chromecast using Android device

Before I start, let me clear out one thing that you cannot stream with your iOS device so we will only be talking about android devices for this method.

Here, I have found two methods in which you can stream videos to your chromecast from your Kodi connected Android device

The longer but friendly method to use Kodi on Chromecast

  • To install Kodi on Chromecast, Simply Download ES File Explorer, Kodi, LocalCast and XML file PlayerFactoryCore
  • Open ES File Explorer, head towards Settings, then display settings and make one thing sure that “Show hidden files” is ticked
  • Make sure that your XBMC media center or Kodi is connected to you Kodi app
  • Once the above steps are done, go into ES File Explorer once again and open the downloads folder
  • Go ahead and find out the PlayerFactoryCore.xml you have downloaded earlier If not found head towards the file where all your downloaded documents are placed)
  • Then copy the PlayerFactoryCore.xml file and head towards android>Data and have a look for “org.xbmc.kodi” or “org.xbmc.xbmc”. The file name totally depends on which streamer you use for the same. Originally Kodi will be “org.xbmc.kodi”
  • Once done, open through files> .Kodi ( or .xbmc depending on what streamer you will use) > user data and paste the PlayerFactoryCore.xml file which you copied earlier into this folder
  • Launch Kodi from your android device and search for the video file you want to watch
  • Automatically, Kodi will launch LocalCast (your android device will ask which app you want to use although)
  • Once everything is done, a prompt will appear to press “Play” and a message will be asked “which device would you like to use for streaming purpose?”
  • Last but not the least, click on play one again and it will, finally, play on your TV where the Chromecast has been connected

  • Launch Kodi
  • Search for the video that you want to watch and then press play

How to install Kodi on Chromecast using a computer?

Yup, you heard it right

You can now stream on Kodi from your computer too

Feel too old… :p

A computer isn’t that hard like streaming from an Android device. Actually, it’s an indirect solution to your problem. Below are the steps to stream from a computer

  • Download Chromecast app and Chrome on your computer, ensure that you have XBMC or Kodi client installed on your computer.
  • Next, install chrome OS and chrome casting extension
  • Launch Chrome and select “Cast” option from the chromecast extension that you have installed
  • As you see “Cast this tab to…” on the right side, there will be a small down arrow. Just select “Cast entire screen”
  • Once all the things are done properly, your entire desktop screen will be casted on your TV
  • Launch XBMC or Kodi and play any video you want to watch

And there you should have Kodi successfully installed on Chromecast and you should be able to stream movies from Kodi on chromecast device. Both of these guides are completely working and both have been personally tested by me. Hope that works, if you have any query please leave a comment below.

Please note that there are many add-ons that may contain content that aren’t officially licensed and can be illegal. The user will be responsible to comply with all the applicable laws of their country in regard to use the same.
