Welcome to DevCon 2017! Unlike previous years, where we've tried to give a live blog of what's happening (much harder than it might seem!), this year, we're aiming to simply summarise the event for you all in a series of posts. So: DevCon 2017. Thirty-two of the finest team members, assembled…

It's been a busy half-year since Kodi's 2016 Developers' Conference last September in Budapest. During that time Kodi v17.0 "Krypton" was released, quickly followed by v17.1, a bug-fix only release. We made our way into the Windows Store, managed to scare a lot of fans with our April 1st prank and…

For the third year in a row, Kodi is attending CES. CES, also known as the Consumer Electronics Show, is an internationally renowned electronics and technology trade show, attracting major companies and industry professionals worldwide. Why do we go there? Our purpose and goal behind attending CES…

Evening – Day 1 image And that’s it for today. Tomorrow there should be less team talk and more actual feature presentations, so we look forward to seeing you all then! Afternoon Session – Day 1 Trademark Talk After lunch the subject of a number of different legal issues has been brought up. In…

We’re attending the Southern California Linux Expo aka SCALE as exhibitors this week, so drop by our booth. This year SCALE has been moved to sunny Pasadena! (Tickets have been given out, thanks for playing) CES logo Last month we also attended the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. We’ve…

2:20 Keith is now talking BizDev. Last year several of us went to CES somewhat randomly to talk to a smaller cable operator, and as a result we started talking to a number of pretty cool companies. One of the bigger results of that trip was the current work with Silicon Dust’s HD Homerun to make a…

We wanted to take a minute today to talk about our trip down to Los Angeles for the Southern California Linux Expo, otherwise known as SCALE. XBMC/Kodi have been attending SCALE for the past several years now, and we’ve always very much appreciated the attitude and the organization of the event. It…

On the 31st of January and 1st of February a few team-Kodi members visited the Free and Open Source Software Developers European Meeting (FOSDEM) 2015 to give two presentations as well as to set up a stand. As part of our ongoing goal to improve communication to all the Kodi fans this blogpost is an…

Hey girls and guys, Here is a quick shoutout to any software developers attending FOSDEM ’15 in Brussels this weekend. A few Kodi Team members will be attending the Free and Open Source Software Developers European Meeting 2015. We have a stand, and will be holding a presentation on both Saturday…

Friday, 10th of October, 2014 Good morning everyone. As with last year, we’re going to try to keep a running update of useful info that comes from this year’s devcon. To begin, we’re having a number of developers and support members give various presentations, so we’ll start with that. Nedscott’s…

As many of you know, the path to our new name is only partially complete. Beyond the various legal steps still needed to be taken, we need to finally take a step forward in the design of our new logo. The logo that’s been posted on the alpha release threads has been an acceptable place holder, but…

Once again we will be exhibit between the 8th and 10th of May at LinuxTag in Berlin, Germany. This will be our sixth year attending. This year will be really different, new exhibition halls, new partners droidcon and re:publica. Of course we want you to join us at the booth, chat with us and let us…

Good morning, Germany! This live blog is intended to keep users up to date with DevCon conversations. I’ll likely update roughly once at the change of each hour, so there’s no real reason to constantly hit refresh. If you don’t see an update on the hour, I’ll hold back up updating until the next…

fkoch_lederhosen_kleinWe apologize for the late notice, but for those of you in the Munich area we finally have a date and time for our Devs and Users Meet-up. If you can make it, definitely let us know in the comments!

It’s been a busy year since XBMC’s 2012 Developers’ Conference. In that time, XBMC 12.2 was released. The Raspberry Pi became one of the most used (if not the single most used) pieces of hardware to run XBMC. Hardware decoding in Android has become a real thing if only in alpha builds. PVR was added…

Now that some of the excitement of the XBMC 12 release has blown over, we need to take a moment to handle some maintenance and take a look at the very near future. Server Update First up, this Sunday (Feb. 10th) starting at 2100 UTC (1PM PST), we are finally going to deal with the ever increasing…

Our apologies to Vienna users. The lack of consistent internet plus the incredible amount of discussion and work that we’ve managed over the past two days has made it next to impossible to put together and adequately advertise a Meetup in time. Even as this post is being written, we’re STILL…

It’s been nearly two years since Team XBMC has gotten together in person to discuss the past, present, and future of the XBMC project. The cost and complexity of getting 30+ people from nearly every corner of the world to one place is truly staggering. As such, we are pleased to announce that this…

scale10xJust a quick note everyone. XBMC will once again be in attendance at the Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE 10x), and we’d love to see everyone who isn’t TOO far away. Right now, it’s looking like Malloc (Sean), theuni (Cory), Keith (Keith), and I (Nate) will all be there with a primo…
