Baseline
Why you won't find generic "all-in-one" builds here: most bundle addons that stream unlicensed content, which is exactly what gets Kodi's own reputation dragged through the mud. Every entry above uses only official Kodi repo addons or well-known, rights-holder-sanctioned integrations (your own Jellyfin/Plex server, official broadcaster apps, your own licensed IPTV M3U).
