Homebrew WIP Kodi port for the Switch

[PiracyForTheMasses]

Idk there's a Netflix plugin for kodi that I believe is working

This is true, Kodi on linux requires chrome for netflix and amazon video to work, but on other devices libwidevine is all thats required

It looks from googling like libwidevine is closed source?

It uses Chrome. If you're talking about Flix2Kodi.

no, that addon is completely dead and no longer being worked on, I believe this is the working addon https://github.com/asciidisco/plugin.video.netflix

Hey guys, just to manage expectations here, I've been working on it for a few months now and the majority of it has been getting Kodi's many dependencies to build (which is done), so it's not nearly finished.
I see people are expecting/asking if this works: Don't expect it to build, much less work (not to mention there's unpushed stuff that would be needed).

So, it needs a lot more work. And I could always run into issues that hold it back for a long time (as has already happened) or forever.

I'm not sure I'd have kept the branch public if I had known people would get so hyped up about it without even anything functional, but thank you all for the encouragement.

It's been talked about on discord. I'm sure you'll hear more when it's ready.

Will the patch be just for Youtube or will it also work for Netflix and other video services (of course you would still need a Netflix/Hulu/Amazon/whatever account for said services to work).

Ah, that looks like it would work.

The patched youtube app I was talking about is available now in the usual places, and yeah it's just for youtube, so you can use it without it checking with the nintendo servers. The same thing could be done with hypothetical netflix/whatever apps in the future, if any are released.

Velocity, Thank you for taking the time and effort in porting Kodi.

Velocity,

I saw this was forked from https://github.com/garbear/xbmc, which is actually a port of kodi made into a emulator called RetroPlayer. "RetroPlayer is a new player core for Kodi Entertainment Center. It is similar to the video and audio players, but it plays games instead of movies and music."

Are you trying to port Kodi, or Retroplayer?

 

[_velocity]

The fact that it's forked is irrelevant, I'm basing my work off of Kodi master, not any RetroPlayer development branch.

 

[DoJo_Master]

Really excited to see this thread! I love kodi!
