    Kodi is a popular media streaming application that you can use to watch plenty of media content by simply adding add-ons. As a popular media player, it is accessible on a wide range of devices except for Roku streaming devices. By default, Roku devices don’t support C/C++ apps. Since Kodi is made with that language, you can’t find ways to install Kodi on Roku. But, you play Kodi contents on Roku by simply screen mirroring your Kodi supported smartphones or computers.

    Prerequisite:

    First of all, you need to enable the screen mirroring feature on your Roku device to accept media contents from another device.

    • Streaming Stick, Ultra Premiere, and Express – Settings >> System >> Enable Screen mirroring >> OK.
    • Roku 2, Roku 3, and Roku 4 – Settings >> System >> Screen mirroring tab >> Prompt/Always allow
