Can I install Kodi on LG Smart TV?

Answered by Edward Huber

Installing Kodi on LG Smart TV is not a straightforward process as LG uses WebOS as its operating system, which does not have a direct Kodi download option. However, there is a workaround to get Kodi on your LG Smart TV by connecting an Android box or an Android stick.

Here are the steps to install Kodi on LG Smart TV:

1. Connect an Android box or an Android stick to your LG Smart TV. These devices run on the Android operating system, which allows you to download and install Kodi.

2. Once the Android device is connected to your LG Smart TV, go to the Google Play Store. This is the official app store for Android devices where you can find a wide range of apps, including Kodi.

3. Search for “Kodi” in the Google Play Store. You should see the official Kodi app listed in the search results.

4. Select the Kodi app and click on the “Install” button. The app will begin downloading and installing on your Android device.

5. Once the installation is complete, you can launch Kodi from your Android device. You will have access to all the features and functionalities of Kodi on your LG Smart TV through the Android device.

It is worth noting that while this method allows you to use Kodi on your LG Smart TV, the user experience may vary compared to running Kodi directly on the TV. The performance and compatibility of Kodi may depend on the specifications and capabilities of the Android device you are using.

Additionally, using an Android device to run Kodi on your LG Smart TV may require you to switch between input sources or HDMI channels to access Kodi. This can be a slight inconvenience but is a viable solution for those who want to use Kodi on their LG Smart TV.

Although LG Smart TVs do not have a direct Kodi download option, you can still install Kodi on your LG Smart TV by connecting an Android box or an Android stick. This workaround allows you to enjoy Kodi’s features and functionalities on your LG Smart TV, albeit with some minor inconveniences.
