I highly recommend using a VPN as soon as Kodi is installed. It protects your data and identity, but also allows you to access movies not available in your current country. You can read my tutorial here on how to install NordVPN with Kodi.
Kodi is a media center software that allows us to turn an old TV into a smart TV to play local files and watch streaming services.
In this interface, you get access to your Movies, Pictures, Music, and Games
The default skin on OSMC looks like this:
So basically, Kodi turns your TV into a smart TV thanks to the Raspberry Pi. It will be way easier to browse this interface instead of using Chromium to watch something on Netflix or find your MP4 file in a subfolder on Raspberry Pi OS.
And even if you already have a smart TV, it goes further with all the add-ons available.
In this article, I will show you the installation with OSMC, but most of the tutorials will be the same for any of these options.
If you prefer using Raspberry Pi OS, you can read my installation guide here, and install Kodi manually by following this procedure.
Before finishing this tutorial, I just want to recommend you look for a VPN when you are using Kodi.
As a reminder, a VPN is an encrypting technology, allowing you to keep yourself anonymous and protect your data online.
If you want to give it a try, I have an in-depth tutorial on how to install NordVPN on Raspberry Pi OS or Kodi, that will explain step-by-step how to register and configure everything easily.
If you like OSMC, tell me in the community, so I can write more tutorials on how to use a Raspberry Pi as a media center.
There is a ton of tips to know to do this correctly.
In any case, you can always read my Kodi guide for beginners to learn more about this.

Thank you so much this walkthrough to get netflix onto kodi on raspberry pi is just super easy . your automated script is way cool . I was about to move from kodi to android tv , when I discovered your site .
Just to clarify my last comment, I do not meant to download or play any illegal media with this setup. It was more about what information I am giving to the all-mighty google and how secure my browsing is with osmc ?
