SendToKodi is a plugin that allows you to send video or audio URLs to Kodi and play them. It automatically resolves sent websites into a playable stream using yt-dlp.
The plugin is not in the official Kodi addon repo. To install it with automatic updates, you need to add our repo first.
- Download the repo file for your Kodi version:
- Install the repo from zip.
- The addon
sendtokodican be found in the install from repository section.
Please note that kodi 18 is internally limited to python2 but the addon uses yt-dlp to resolve URLs which requires python 3.6+. Therefore, the kodi 18 version uses youtube-dl instead. Unfortunately, the development of youtube-dl was stuck but it has been resumed. So the kodi 18 version of this plugin might not be as stable as the kodi 19 version.
Once installed, you can send URLs to Kodi using one of the supported apps listed below.
- Kore, Official Andorid Remote for Kodi
- Check the app settings to always use sendtokodi if you get warnings about other missing kodi addons
