For many, the essential reason for buying an Apple TV already exists: Kodi, the famous multiplatform media player is now available to be installed on Apple TV, but there is a lot of small print in this news: It is a very preliminary version and you will not find it in the App Store, but you will have to install it using Xcode, so you will also need a Mac to do it.
The developer himself has admitted that the version he just released is a pre-pre-pre-alpha, that is, he is practically telling us not to install it and that all he wants is for us to know that the development of the application for this new platform is underway and that they already have a first version to work on the bugs they may have and polish it before launching a "Beta" version and later a final version. Even so, keep in mind that this application, due to its characteristics, can never be in the App Store, so alternative installation methods will have to be used.
Kodi is a multi-platform and multi-format multimedia player, but its great fame has been achieved above all by the possibility of installing plugins that allow you to watch television channels over the internet, free or paid, and even being able to enjoy your favorite series or movies via streaming, without having to worry about downloading them beforehand. These characteristics are what I speak of when I say that it will never be in the App Store, since they clearly fail to meet Apple's requirements. We will be attentive to the evolution of the project, but for now if anyone wants to try it, it has everything you need in the Kodi forum, but we insist, at the moment it is not worth trying its installation because it will be plagued with errors.

Your comment seems very useful but I am not able to install the plugin.
Could you tell me how?
Thank you
Installed, and it is much more stable than what is said in the post, as you can see that the person who has written this post does so from total ignorance.
It works and quite well, it is true that some addlons fail but it is normal, the most used work well
Greetings to all I have installed kodi and as information for people who install addons from zip files I found a solution on how to put them in the system. Using an app from the mac called iExplorer, you connect the apple tv to the mac and you can see all the folders, look for kodi and copy all the zip files into the home folder. Well even everything is perfect but I have noticed that some addons do not work such as "chicago team" wolf team "and many others send an error not if it is because of the python plugins that I hear are not included in this version of kodi if someone has succeeded Install would be fine to say how I achieve it, I hope to see it helped in some way, greetings to all.
Hello, how are you jalexFILMS,
What version of kodi did you install on your Apple TV 4?
I have not managed to install addons from zip.
On this page are all the kodi versions for Apple TV 4….
http://mirrors.kodi.tv/test-builds/darwin/tvos/
I don't know which version you installed
hello jose sorry for the delay in answering I have had busy time. But let me explain there is an application on mac called iExplorer with that it is very simple you open the application and connect the apple tv 4 to the computer with your usb type c cable that you must already have to do this process. It already recognizes you at the moment, well then you go to the applications tab and all the apps that you have installed on the apple tv will come out, well now you go to kodi and look for the home folder you enter and in the media folder copies the addons and that's it brother, the addons in zip are already inside the apple tv. well now you just connect the apple tv to your screen and install the addons from zip you look for this folder where you copied the files and bommmmmm. now I have bad news to give you most of the addons do not work. the version I use is 16.0 jarvis. If someone has an update that was the addons work well it would be good to inform greetings and I hope I have helped you.
Hey.
I have installed it these days on the Apple TV 4, I also have it installed on the MAC and the difference is that all the Addons work in the second one and not in the Apple TV. They do not work; Catoal, Adryanlist, live streams pro and some of the most used with content in Spanish. Movies a la carte works but not all of its content, on the MAC, on the other hand, it works well.
How to install the zip, I had to do it from windows, in MAC I was unable. In Windows you go to folder, right buttons share and leave the passwords disabled. Then you go to C, user and guest for example in the Donloaw folder you leave the ZIP files.
You go to Kodi, System, Addons, install from ZIP, choose wimdows samba, and search for users, guest, dowloaws and install the pluning you want. Install them fine, but then they don't work.
I think the problem is that Kodi is very green for Apple tv.
Yesterday when installing the iptv channels, Kodi crashed and I had to delete and reinstall it.
I hope I was clear
Thanks. I'll wait for a more stable version to be released
The truth is that most addons do not work
If it all works, only that adrianlist does not work in the super repo, but installing from another repo if it works, it is not problems with the kodi itself, but with the repo
You can pass the repos that are pulling please is that really and installed from zip from repo in all possible ways and nothing error the Chicago addon downloaded directly from the official page super updated and nothing error send the repos to see if there is luck and I comment how it went beforehand, thank you
