Currently, if we want to have a multimedia center at home, we have the option of buying a gadget with such a function or we use software that transforms our computer, laptop, etc ... into a multimedia player. For this purpose, it is best to use or use Kodi. Kodi is a program that turns any device into a multimedia center. Kodi is compatible and can be installed on computers, laptops, SBC boards, sticks, and even game consoles.
Moreover, Kodi was born as an alternative for Xbox users. In the past, Kodi was called XBMC (XBox Media Center) but it changed its name to avoid problems with patents and name registrations.
A year ago, Kodi released a version of its program in universal application format that was only compatible with computers with the Desktop version of Windows. But recently an update has appeared that makes it possible to install Kodi on any Microsoft device, smartphones and Xbox One included. This means that Xbox users will be able to use their game console again as a multimedia center, a multimedia center that reads discs, that connects to the internet to watch chapters and movies online, etc ...
Kodi returns to the Xbox although it still has some limitations
Although we have to say that this universal application still has some shortcomings that will be solved over time such as file sharing that can only be done through the NFS protocol or reading BlueRay disks that cannot be done at the moment.
It is true that there is still much to do and solve within Kodi for Xbox One, but the step has been taken and in addition to improving the use and operation of the Xbox, it can also serve as an example of the power of universal apps, a type of application that is taking time to reach the end user Do not you think?
