The Pluto TV add-on Main Screen has 5 sections. These are:
- Live
- Live (Favorites)
- Lineup
- Categories
- OnDemand
The Live section in Pluto TV Addon has plenty of channels from around the globe. The Live (Favorites) section has all the channels you favorited. This section helps you to find your favorite live content easily. The Lineup section has varieties of live TV and on-demand content listed that are further categorized accordingly.
The Categories section has all the contents that are offered by Pluto TV sorted according to genres. The sub-sections include Reality, Sports, Movies, Local, Kids, Entertainment, Crime, Classic TV, Comedy, etc. The OnDemand section also has hundreds of movies and shows sorted according to genres and aired date.

Summing Up
You will get pretty much everything in Pluto TV Kodi addon. From Live TV to movies, TV shows, and documentaries, you will find everything here. It has a massive database. New contents are also added regularly to the library.
But like most of the other free Add-ons, it runs ads in-between content. This is how they earn money to take care of the app development costs and others. So, if you can tolerate a few intermittent ads, it is an amazing add-on to have for streaming content. Definitely a must-have!
