“Kodi, previously known as XBMC, is an open source media player, and a veritable one-stop shop for all your media needs,” Joaquim Barbosa writes for iDownload Blog. “Whilst it has been a favourite of Apple TV users for a long time, there is not always a recent tvOS release, and the process to install it has been complex at times.”
“This guide gives the simplest process, without recourse to unofficial distributions,” Barbosa writes. “It doesn’t require a jailbreak, and should work on both tvOS 10 and tvOS 9.”
“Once you’ve sideloaded the app, it will be valid on your Apple TV for 7 days if you have a free Apple account, and for a year if you have a paid Apple developer account,” Barbosa write. “If a new version of Kodi is released and you want to update to it, download the updated build and follow this guide again to make a newer .ipa.”

MacDailyNews Take: Have fun, Apple TV Kodi fans!
Aslo, check out this step-by-step video:
Did you know that in the UK you could face up to 10 year sentence for using KODI?
Not kidding.
That is not true. The only conviction was for a man who sold Android boxes preloaded with Kodi and a large number of plug-ins for viewing illegal content. Kodi is not illegal, those add-ons are.
And it wouldn’t be for Kodi alone. It’s the addons added later that stream illegal stuff.
I miss the days when iTunes used to be the media player of choice.
🙁
So, reinstall every week.
This hasn’t worked in a while.
This works. I’ve run it for the last six months. It’s a pain in the ass to keep updated. Not really worth it in my mind. I stopped.
