    You have probably heard of Kodi, the popular open source home theatre software. What you might not know is that Kodi started out life as a homebrew application for the original Xbox. Back then Kodi was known as XBMC (Xbox Media Center) and was only available for the Xbox. At the time it was an incredible useful way to play Divx / Xvid video on the TV, as we didn't have other devices in our living rooms that could play such a variety of media.

    Eventually XBMC was ported to Windows, OSX and Linux, with support for the Xbox been dropped. However XBMC4Xbox continued supporting the Xbox, so today we have modern Kodi running on 64MB of RAM and Pentium 3 CPU. quite incredible when you think about it!
