Kodi is an excellent way to stream video to your TV using either a phone or computer and Android TV from Google Android TV is an ideal option to transform your ordinary TV into an "smart" one.
Even though streaming Kodi to Chromecast isn't easy but getting Kodi on the screen of your Android TV is a straightforward task. Here's how to install Kodi set up on an Android TV and stream your saved content to the large screen.
Option 1: Install Kodi on the Play Store
We'll begin by demonstrating the most straightforward method to install Kodi onto the Android TV. If you're able to access the Play Store then follow these steps:
Open Google Play Store on your Android TV and sign in if you are asked.
Download the Kodi application to your Android TV via Google Play.
Configure the Kodi application to display the content you've stored in the cloud. If the setup is successful you're now able to make use of Kodi with your Chromecast.

Option 2: Install Kodi from the official website
If you're unable to use this feature on the Google Play Store for some reason, you can go to the Kodi official Kodi website to finish the download. All you have be able to follow is these instructions:
If Kodi is not available on the Play Store then go on to Android TV's Settings page and scroll down to Security & Restrictions.
Turn on sources that are not known to allow installing applications outside of within Google Play Store.
On a PC, install Kodi for Android on Kodi's download page. Based on the hardware you have you must select the right version.
Copy the download .apk files onto Google Drive or a USB drive, and then plug it into the Android TV.
Using television, you can browse the internet and open the .apk file by using The Files by Google application or another alternative file manager. Take care when selecting a file manager because copycat applications that include background ads and spyware are abound!
