Hacking Can Kodi be ported on Wiiu?

Going to hope that devs start making kodi for Switch?..

Hey, that would be awesome... especially if they somehow got a hybrid MySQL + local setup that let you sync media to the switch SD card while keeping the metadata from the MySQL database...

Portable Kodi is nice

Anything is possible if you believe in yourself.

Kodi on WiiU would be good just to prove that it can be done, but not very practical compared to raspberry..
WiiU is loud and not nearly as energy efficient as raspberry..
And what are you going to do when WiiU becomes obsolete? Going to hope that devs start making kodi for Switch?..
It is better to just keep kodi on raspberry.. When raspberry goes obsolete, a new one comes out (1, 2, and now 3).. When 3 gets too crappy, they will make raspberry 4..

why would they need to make it for the switch switch is ARM and there is already ARM kodi if we could manage to sideload it or find a way to get it on there it should just run without too much tweaking no?

That's unfortunately like saying an app for the raspberry pi would work for the 3DS with a little tweaking...

It's just not that simple when it comes to graphics and sound...

yeah probably not that simple but probably more smiple than the 3ds since it is running an nvidia arm chip i would think

Kodi already has a fully tegra compatible build, I'm running it on both my Shields.

Given switch is just a phone/tablet SoC disguised as a console getting kodi to run will be a breeze. Heck if Nintendo do use a customised Android then it might take no work at all outside of working out how to sideload it.

And in that time we've had a V5 Kernel exploit and a full IOSU exploit. Reasking again now seemskinda relevant IMO.

We still can't seem to get decent network speeds though...
