How to Install Kodi on Your Nvidia Shield TV!
Your Nvidia Shield TV comes with Google's Play Store, which we'll use to install Kodi. Here are the steps you need to take.
- Power on your Nvidia Shield TV, and you’ll be greeted by its home screen. The current version of Android TV displays rows of applications and icons. So, find the 'Play Store' app.
- Once you launch the Play Store, use its search feature. Navigate to the top of the screen and type in 'Kodi.' Since the Shield remote comes with a microphone, you can also use the voice search option. Say 'Kodi,' and you’re ready to go.
- Next, you will see the search results. Kodi should be the first thing you see. Make sure that the shown application is made by the XBMC Foundation (as there are many clones). Open it.
- To finalize the procedure, click on 'Install.' Kodi will be downloaded and installed on your device. You can keep track of this procedure on your TV screen, which shouldn't take more than a few minutes.
- Once Kodi is installed, you can open it from the Play Store or navigate to the Shield TV’s Home Screen. That's it - you have just installed Kodi on your Shield TV!
