Kodi(科迪)是一個功能強大的媒體中心軟件，它可以把家用電腦轉換成家庭影院。科迪能播放各種格式音頻和視頻文件，瀏覽照片，使用磁盤映像文件，播放電視和視頻流，查看天氣預報等。該軟件允許你創建一個媒體庫，並按不同的類別查找文件。科迪能夠使用移動設備或通過遙控器遠程控制的軟件。該軟件包含了許多工具來配置和使用不同擴展插件，使軟件功能更強大。

著名跨平台開源媒體中心Kodi（原XBMC）更新至18.5正式版，本次更新繼續優化對Win10各版本的支持，其他內容尚未給出，但根據之前三個RC版本的更新情況看，本次正式版更新還是在於問題修復，新老用戶可下載使用這一更加穩定的版本。Kodi（原XBMC）是Win10平台上的一款媒體中心軟件，鑑於Windows 10正式版已經不含Windows Media Centre媒體中心應用，這款媒體中心軟件可以為喜歡該功能的用戶繼續提供類似服務。

Kodi功能介紹：

• 能夠播放幾乎所有流行的音頻和視頻格式。

• 還被設計用於播放網絡媒體，支持各種網絡媒體協議，這樣你可以把你的媒體庫放在家庭網絡中或直接播放互聯網媒體。

• 可以這樣使用你的媒體：播放CD和DVD光盤或存儲在磁盤上的光盤映像文件，播放存儲在硬盤的幾乎所有流行文件格式，甚至能播放壓縮在ZIP和RAR中的文件。

• 它還可以掃描你的媒體文件並自動建立你​​自己的媒體資料庫，包括封面圖片、內容介紹和海報劇照。

• 還有播放列表和幻燈片功能，天氣預報和許多音頻視覺效果。

軟件默認為英文版，可以設置為中文語言界面（和之前版本通用）方法如下：

1、打開XBMC媒體中心，選擇System，進入Setting；

2、選擇Appearance；

3、選擇Skin，移動移動▲和▼將Fonts字體更改為Arial based；

4、繼續選擇左側International，進入Language，移動▲和▼切換系統語言為Chinese（Simple）；

5、現在，我們成功將XBMC設置為簡體中文界面。

17.6 更新記錄：

We are happy and sad at same time to announce that this will be the last v17.6 release. When we say very last this of course only means for the v17 “Krypton” series as we are steadily heading towards the new v18 series called “ Leia”. For about a year already our developers have been working on the upcoming v18 release and have been backporting all fixes we deemed safe enough to v17 series. However with all good things there has to come a time to say enough is enough and that moment has come. From our point of view “Krypton” has been a great release and our group has spend a lot of time improving it since it’s initial release on 5 February 2017. It has also been one of the series where we did things a bit different with continues nightly versions for testing and quite a lot point releases with only minor fixes just because we could.

We are certainly excited about our upcoming v18 on which we will start reporting at regular basis quite soon but until that time here’s the v17.6 “Krypton” version for daily use. We recommend every one to upgrade to this version once it’s available for their platform to have the best experience possible. If you want to know what has changed you can browse the list below.

Fixes done in this release:

• Fix possible crash in crontroller dialog
• Update standard scrapers to lastest version available on release
