**VLC** is a Free and Open Source (FOSS) media player. It also supports all variety of entertainment including TV (PVR), Music and Videos. Unlike Kodi, VLC is meant to be a software that runs on your PC to open Media locally or streams (eg. TV) so it doesn't cater to the big screen experience like Kodi does and doesn't have native remote control support or other inputs like it. Finally while it supports opening images, it isn't a great experience over using an image viewer and doesn't support Games (which kodi does do well).
