Why can't you?  I certainly can and do, and have since XBMC actually ran on
an OG xbox in early 2000's.

I use kodi on my Nvidia Shield as my media player for the living room, and
it's never been better.  I just use SMB/CIFS to connect to my network
storage where I have a "video" directory, and works perfectly for any video
or audio format.  My new tv purchased around christmas also has android tv
os on it directly, so in theory don't even need the Shield, but setting
this up for my aunt with a Sony tv, the proc wasn't up to dealing with
higher-end formats (certain 1080p codecs, 4k content), but works with most
1080p formats and below just fine.

You could always just install the pirate repos direct on kodi to get
whatever wherever, but they're all a bit sketchy these days, and highly
recommend a privacy vpn if you do...
