Kodi: the best way to watch online movies and series with subtitles!

Kodi: the best way to watch online movies and series with subtitles!

UPDATE:  Exodus has been shut down and the alternative is the "FANTASTIC" add-on! I wrote a detailed installation guide with pictures - INSTRUCTIONS.

Old text:

You may have heard of a program called Kodi, ie. the former XBMC, and thought that with it you could watch movies and series only from your computer. Of course, that is not all that this program can do, on the contrary, there are many options.

In this article, I will show you how to set up Kodi to watch any series and movies online with subtitles with minimal effort around choosing a link and translation - everything works automatically!

If you want to watch home TV channels via Kodi, follow this guide.

This solution consists of three parts: a video plugin, a  subtitle plugin, and a setup (connection) to work together automatically.

In short for those who do not know what Kodi is: it is a program available for many operating systems and platforms (such as Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, Raspberry Pi…) and with which you can watch movies, series, pictures, listen to music… create one media center that can be further expanded with a large number of add-ons.

Let's get started!

First, install the latest Kodi (Krypton) on your system as you normally install some software, you can download it for free here - https://kodi.tv/download

Video add-on „Exodus“

This plugin offers you a database of all movies and series in one place and automatically checks for correct links and offers you the link with the best shot quality at the top of the list. There are many more options, explore them, you will surely like them. Installing add-ons that are not in the official database is a bit more complicated.

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.
