Here's the reality: if your mates are spending hundreds on something per year, and you can get it for free - If it looks too good to be true - yeah, it probably is too good to be true. Our general stance on piracy remains neutral, but fewer people damaging the Kodi name is a good thing. Basically you need boxee hacks 1.6.0 for the last two releases. This has a good set of instructions that is somewhat up to date.
Pretty much all of the info in the sidebar is out of date to some degree.
KODI FOR BOXEE ANDROID
We still see strong downloads from : interestingly, there's also an increase in the rate of user churn, which is probably linked to the above and our discontinuation of support for the older versions of Android that many of these devices run. There are currently six releases of kodi for boxee. There are a number of legal actions underway, and we regularly read news of large numbers of pirate add-on developers and repo operators fleeing from these legal issues. In related news, you may be aware of issues in the piracy community that drives the sales of these devices. It's insulting, and potentially harmful, to see two successful (and safe) products being wrongly presented for the sake of a headline. The Kodi FLIRC case has also been a hit with our Raspberry Pi users and sales contribute towards the cost of events like Kodi DevCon. We're also super-huge fans of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, and the proceeds of Pi board sales fund the awesome work they do to promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education in schools. It's a combination that's as safe and unlikely to burn down your house as any Kodi device can be (indeed, neither even comes with the sort of dangerous power supplies that are in question here). The case is from a good friend and partner of ours, FLIRC, in sunny California, USA. The Pis originate from Cambridge, UK, and have been rigorously certified. Instead of showing one of the many thousands of generic black boxes sold without the legally required CE/UL marks, the media mainly chose to depict a legitimate Raspberry Pi clothed in a very familiar Kodi case. Our issue with the current wave of articles is not the shock-horror, click-bait headlines, but the choice of images used. We could bore you with other tales of devices that report fake RAM size and heatsinks that rattle inside the case, but that would distract from the point of this blog post. Beyond that, we assure you that the Kodi software remains friendly, docile, free-range, and free of any killer instinct. Okay, to be specific (and perhaps a touch less alarmist), the power supplies on cheap, untested devices are often a bit on the dreadful side, and that's where a risk of things bursting into flames resides. According to recent press, "Kodi boxes" can KILL.
