Kodi (XBMC) Support for new Apple Tv

Hi All,


As You know one of the most coolest Application is Kodi which is an award-winning free and open source (GPL) software media player and entertainment hub for digital media. Kodi is available for multiple platforms. these days one of the frequent question to buyers is does this device support Kodi or not. that's one of the reason buyers are more willing to get android tv box rather than Apple Tv Box nowadays because of kodi support in Android... But This is not end of the world as long as at anytime apple developer could contribute the Kodi to support Apple Tv. currently Kodi Support till Apple Tv Generation 2 officially but If Any Apple developer are interested here is the link of Github of Kodi Formerly known as XBMC :

I waited for 2 years (hoping to use Kodi on a new AppleTV) before I decided to buy an Android TV Box. This was the best purchase I ever made. My way of thinking changed a lot. I no more do support a greedy Apple (which is not any more the friendly and peacefull organization we used to respect) but now I put my faith and hopes on every Open Source software or product.

that means up until this morning Kodi was unavailable for the ATV without jail breaking. as you note it had been waiting for Apple approval - who's to say when that approval is made. Some developers have had apps waiting for months!


You're a troll because the ONLY thing you ever post is a complaint or trolling other users. We get it you don't like Apple and for some reason your life is so sad that the only thing that brings you joy is finding holes in others comments in a USER forum. Good job! Your mission is complete, you found a hole and you got me!

Well after listening to both of you (ProTodd & RealisticExpectations) I have been using KODI A.K.A for a long time and i think apple might let them use it this time maybe or maybe not. In other words i would simply go to best buy and spend my money on Nvidia Shield Tv Which is way better than apple tv but cost a little bit higher but its android base. Plus the graphics on that are way better than apple. I rather buy that than buying apple tv 4th get (plus they still need to add some features. Apple tv is really good product but it have bunch of limitations. But if y'all had watched the Keynote this year the vice president said they will let other developers work on it and create apps for it. I think KODI will be soon in TvOS appstore but you have to wait.

That what i use for KODI now on my theatre room and its a beast better than (FireTV, Asus Google player.) I hope this helps but if you are the guy who love apple and want KODI on his apple you have to wait. It might come on apple tv or might not..



Peace 😀


Merry Christmas 😀
