How to Watch Kodi on Hisense TV

Kodi is a popular media center that officially supports several Smart TVs. For Hisense TV, Kodi is natively available on the Play Store for variants running Android TV and Google TV.

Go through this guide carefully and learn the respective ways to get Kodi on your Hisense TV model.

Essential Preparations Before Accessing Kodi on Hisense TVs

• Connect Hisense TV to a WiFi network to install the Kodi app and stream content via add-ons.
• If you are screen mirroring the Kodi app from your mobile, enable the Screen Mirroring option on your Hisense TV.

The following headings elaborate on the installation procedure of the Kodi app on the Hisense TVs that share compatibility with it.

Hisense Android TV

Select the Apps section from the Home screen. Locate the Google Play Store app & launch it. Select the Search icon and type Kodi with the remote control & on-screen keyboard. Then, click on the magnifier icon/Search option on the keyboard.

In the search result, select the Kodi app and click on the Install button to add it to your Hisense Android TV. After downloading, click Open and get into the app.

Hisense Google TV

Press the Home button on your remote control. Click on the Search for apps and games option on the TV Home screen and search for Kodi. When it appears in the suggestions, click on the Install option and download the app on your Hisense Google TV.

Get Add-ons to Watch Live TV, Movies, and Shows on Kodi

After installing the Kodi app, launch it and download the required add-on to watch the media content. When it comes to add-ons, you can download both official and unofficial ones. The official add-ons can be downloaded using the built-in Kodi repository. For unofficial add-ons, you need to add third-party repositories. Some add-ons may require a premium subscription for streaming.

On the other hand, unofficial add-ons may stream copyrighted content for free. Streaming them may lead to facing legal issues. To avoid that, we recommend you connect a secured VPN, like NordVPN with your Hisense Smart TV to safeguard your device and ensure privacy.

Screen Mirror Kodi on Other Hisense TV Models

After enabling the screen mirroring setting on Hisense TVs with Xumo, Roku, or VIDAA OS, download & set up the Kodi app on your Android mobile from the Google Play Store.

Then, connect your Hisense TV and your mobile phone to the same WiFi network. Launch the Kodi app and start streaming the required content. Now, open the notification panel and tap the Cast option.

You’ll get a list of devices connected to the same network. Locate your respective Hisense TV name and select it. When the connection is successful, the Kodi app will appear on your mobile device on your Hisense TV screen. Whatever you play now can be watched on both devices simultaneously.
