Thanks for your info.I forgot to tell you that a friend told me that I would need a special box near my TV for showing videos on my TV--being transfered
from my PC to the box.I am not sure if I am explaining this right.Please tell me if this isn't true.Thanks.

The "special box" would be a computer of some kind. A Raspberry Pi or Android box will do, so they don't have to be expensive; *if* you have an Android-based TV then you can probably load Kodi directly, but that's your only practical way otherwise (unless you want to hook a laptop up to the television).
Be aware that many Android boxes (particularly) come "loaded" with piracy addons and custom builds of Kodi. We don't condone those, and won't support them at all here: if you choose to use one of those, it's at your own risk.

Look into a minix u9. Powerful box. Runs kodi from app store. Connects to tv with hdmi cable
You shld be able to get the u9 for less than €175

Just to add, the transfer to your tv is via an hdmi cable, just like your dvd player, cable box etc.

Thanks for sharing the guide, although it is time now have been using Kodi. Still would help referring in the future.
