What is the Official Kodi Wiki (kodi.wiki)?

kodi.wiki is the official wiki for Kodi, maintained by the open community together with Team Kodi members. It is a documentation and reference site rather than a download page or storefront: you go there to read installation guides, setup instructions, troubleshooting steps, and background material on how Kodi works. It is most useful when you are installing Kodi for the first time, configuring a specific feature, or trying to diagnose a problem.

What you can find on kodi.wiki

The wiki is organized around the main parts of the Kodi experience. From the navigation menu, the documented areas include:

• Getting started — Installing, first-time user guidance, a glossary, and FAQs.
• Troubleshooting — Problem-solving material, plus forum rules and a list of items banned from the forum.
• Media libraries — Video, movie, and TV show libraries; music and music video libraries.
• Live TV and radio — TV, PVR, and radio setup and usage.
• Add-ons — How add-ons work and how to use them.
• Other features — Games, pictures, favourites, and weather.
• Interface and hardware — Settings, skins, remote controls, and devices/hardware.
• Extras and tools — Supplemental tools, syncing and sharing.
• Advanced topics — Kodi development, test builds and betas, skin development, add-on development, and the translation system.
• Platform notes — Hardware requirements and platform-specific pages for Android, iOS, Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.

If you are unsure where to start, the "New Users" and "Installing & First time user" entries are the intended entry points.

Who maintains it and how to contribute

The wiki states that it is maintained by the open community along with Team Kodi members, and it invites readers to contribute back by helping update it. One practical detail matters if you want to edit: new account registrations are disabled on this wiki. To get an account for editing, you have to request one through the process linked on the site rather than signing up directly.

How to use it effectively

• Start from the topic that matches your task (install, library, live TV, add-on, skin) rather than browsing randomly.
• Use the search function for specific error messages or setting names.
• Check the platform-specific pages when instructions differ between Android, Windows, macOS, Linux, or iOS.
• Treat the wiki as documentation, not as a source of add-ons or media itself.
