Media player Kodi is finally available on Xbox One
Media player Kodi is finally available on Xbox One.
Kodi, originally known as Xbox Media Center (XBMC), is finally making its way back to Xbox consoles after a seven-year hiatus. For the uninitiated, XBMC was a media streaming platform that originally ran on modified first-generation Xbox consoles. While the software itself wasn't illegal, it was often used as a piracy platform where users could stream illegal content via various third-party plugins.
The reason it's taken the Kodi team so long to bring the platform to the Xbox One is largely due to the software's former 32-bit nature.
Back in June, Kodi's developers published a blog post announcing the completion of the long-awaited 64-bit version for Windows. The team further stating that development of a UWP (Universal Windows Platform) version of the software compatible with Xbox One could finally begin in earnest.
