SPMC is an unofficial fork of Kodi for Android created by Team Kodi developer Koying. While technically unofficial, it contains various "experimental" fixes and settings that can sometimes help users when the normal Kodi for Android doesn't work on their specific hardware, and is sometimes used to test new or exprimental features and functions.

SPMC has a different app ID from Kodi, so both can be installed side by side at the same time.


SPMC can also be downloaded from Google Play.

Should I use Kodi or SPMC?

Users should generally first try the official kodi.tv builds from http://kodi.tv/download/ or the Google Play app store, and only if they still have issues they could then try SPMC. Or, some specific hardware configurations or situations might have their own tweaks that SPMC will help with, like audio passthrough improvements, Android TV home screen recommendations, voice search, etc.

Just remember that SPMC is not a normal build and is not supported by Team Kodi, so don't report SPMC bugs or issues to Kodi's bugtracker, etc.

Editor note: Anyone reading this: Feel free to expand on the differences between Kodi and SPMC. Even if it's unofficial, I see no reason why we can't mention it here on the wiki, and you can be as detailed or as brief as you want here.
