kodik

Kodik is a web-based video catalog and streaming aggregator that operates primarily for Russian-speaking audiences. It collects metadata for films, TV series, and other video content and provides links to streaming sources hosted on third-party servers. Kodik does not host or distribute content directly; instead, it acts as an index and gateway to external hosting services.

Users can search for titles, browse categories (movies, TV series, anime, cartoons), and view information such as release year, country, genres, and a synopsis. For a given title, Kodik presents a list of available sources with different qualities and languages, and typically provides external links or embedded players that route to third-party hosts.

Because the site relies on third-party hosting, the availability and quality of streams vary. The user experience can include numerous hosting options, some of which may be low-latency or offline at times. The platform has been described in media and by authorities as part of the ecosystem around pirated video content, and its legal status is dependent on local laws and the rights of content providers. In some jurisdictions and networks, access to Kodik or its mirrors may be restricted or blocked.

Kodik is often discussed alongside other streaming aggregators that offer quick access to recent releases but do not own rights to the content. It has inspired clones and mirrors and is used in conjunction with third-party streaming links rather than original content production.
