About OSMC
OSMC is a media center operating system that combines Debian Linux with the Kodi media center. It plays all major media formats from a variety of devices and streaming protocols, and is designed to be simple to use from a remote.
An included App Store lets you add features from the remote. The project also sells its own Vero V device, which supports 4K, HDR and HD audio. OSMC is funded partly through donations.
