Team, Ever since the announcement of the Xbmc to Kodi rebranding, Media Browser communities, call centers and offices around the world have been inundated with phone calls and emails from millions of curious users, all wondering the same thing. Will Media Browser retain it's compatibility after the Kodi name change and Helix release? Today we are here to answer those questions with a resounding yes. Kodi is a great front-end and we think Media Browser is the perfect companion. Our Kodi add-on team has done a lot of great work for Helix, including incorporating many of the new Live TV features, as well as optimization for low power devices such as the Fire TV. Also thanks to the efforts of IM85288, we've had a number of new people step up and help with some of the skins he's been working on. As always everything is open source and open to community contribution. Installation Download the repository - Install using System -> Add-ons -> Install from zip file - Install the Kodi add-on from the repository - Install your skin of choice from the Kodi repository

Google announced Android TV at their annual Google I/O conference last year and we immediately saw it as a huge opportunity not only for Media Browser but also for the industry as a whole. The smart TV market is thriving but the use of the actual smart features are greatly limited because each manufacturer, for the most part, chose to implement their own environment which makes it very difficult for app developers to support them all. This, in turn, makes it hard for users to find the apps they want. We saw Google's new platform as a potential common platform for not only stand alone devices, but also smart TVs and, it appears, we were right. At CES a couple of weeks ago Sony, Sharp and Philips all announced that their 2015 models would be using Google's Android TV as their smart platform. Of course, the Nexus Player is available now as a set top box solution and there will undoubtedly also be other new boxes sporting Android TV, but the TVs themselves will really make this platform a winner. And we will be ready for them. Here is a sneak peek at our upcoming Android TV App:
