Meaning and background

The story behind Kodi

Kodi is the exact name of an open-source media-centre project. Its official description presents software that brings video, music, photographs and other digital media together, with an interface designed for televisions and remote controls. That supplies a technology association for a dog owner who uses or likes the project. The software documentation does not establish Kodi's history as a human name, and it gives no reason to assume all dogs called Kodi share that reference.
