Install Kodi 15.0 (Stable) in Ubuntu via PPA. Install Kodi 15.0 media center (XBMC) in Ubuntu 15.04, Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 14.10. Kodi (formerly known as XBMC) is an award-winning free and open source (GPL) software media center for playing videos, music, pictures, games, and more.
Kodi runs on Linux, OS X, Windows, iOS, and Android, featuring a 10-foot user interface for use with televisions and remote controls. It allows users to play and view most videos, music, podcasts, and other digital media files from local and network storage media and the internet.
Kodi 15.0 features:
- A new chapter selector window allows you to visually browse and select chapters from mkvs and other containers that support chapters.
- Adaptive seeking (aka Skip Steps). The more times you press a button to seek in a period of time, the larger the jump forward or backward will be.
- Audio and Subtitle Lists. For content that includes multiple audio and subtitle choices, you can select from a full list of choices, rather than manually searching through a spinner.
- Language Add-ons and Expanded International Preferences. Now language translations get regularly updated to all users as the add-ons themselves update.
Improved Add-on Manager to make finding the add-ons you are looking for easier.
