Xbox Users Can Now Take Advantage of Kodi’s Media Benefits
Back in the days, Xbox days, we had the Xbox Media Center, and that software evolved into the open source coding we know today, Kodi. Now, it looks like the open source media player has come full circle with its arrival on the Xbox One. Because of this new app, players will have greater versatility in their day-to-day media management.
As many may know, Kodi has already found its place on PC. Back when it was announced for the Xbox One, creators didn’t clarify whether it would carry the same features. Now we know: it will transition with fewer features for the time being. You can find developer details below:
“What you should really understand and keep remembering is that it is still in early stages of development and has very rough edges, might not be as stable as the regular version and may even be missing some functions. Due to the nature of how UWP works our hands are tied in some areas. Some parts are not even finished yet and our developers are still working on getting it up to the regular standard. As of this writing there’s limited access to only what’s part of your Video and Music folders. Network support is limited to only NFS:// shares. No access to the Blu-ray drive to start the disc or even an attached storage drive. There might still be problems with certain general python modules that are used by add-ons and we are finding and reporting them to the developers as testing progresses. I’m sure there’s more that might not work as intended yet as there are so many features it just will take a while to go over them. We cannot promise to what extend we can get every feature working as it all depends on what is available to us developers.”
