Kodi (XBMC) media player and entertainment hub integration

Kodi is the award-winning free and open source (GPL) software media player and entertainment hub that can be installed on Linux, OSX, Windows, iOS, and Android, featuring a 10-foot user interface for use with televisions and remote controls.

It allows users to play and view most videos, music, podcasts, and other digital media files from local and network storage media and the internet.

MyURemote selected Kodi (XBMC) as the standard 3rd party application, with full library integration and IP control. This is the ultmate way to integrate Multimedia and Audio/Video control.

What hardware do you need?: MyURemote’s advice is to use Cubox i4Pro running OpenElec: http://www.solid-run.com/wiki/OpenELEC
Windows users: use this Disk Imager to write the image on a Mini SD card: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/latest/download

All you have to know is the IP address of your XBMC server: click HOME – SYSTEM – System info

activate the XBMC webserver, and allow HTTP Remote control: click HOME – SYSTEM – Services – Webserver:
