Template:XBMC development nav Team-Kodi (formerly called Team-XBMC) first ported XBMC Media Center software to Mac OS X in 2008, and the whole project cross-platform application was renamed to Kodi in 2014. Kodi itself is a huge open source project and it takes loads of people working together to maintain it for all platforms, that is why Team-Kodi is always on the lookout for C/C++ programmers to volunteer in assisting us with the development of Kodi. Whether you have contributed to the Kodi/XBMC project in the past or not, please consider doing so now.
Those of you who are completely unfamiliar with Kodi/XBMC can get a good overview of it on Kodi and Kodi FAQ.
End-users (non-programmers)
You can help too by downloading Kodi for OS X, testing it, and reporting bugs and issues. Also, spread the word about Kodi for OS X (and other platforms) to your friends and family, we are sure they will enjoy it too.
Developers (programmers)
You should be proficient in C/C++ programming language, and although not really required knowledge of OpenGL or other multimedia programming is a plus, as well as prior cross-platform or porting development experience.
The Mac OS X development platform is Mac OS X 10.7 64-bit x86-64 Intel. There are Xcode project files available in our git repo
Hardware requirements
- 32-bit Intel (x86-processor) with Mac OS X 10.7 (Leon), and a ATI Radeon 9200/X1600, Intel GMA950, or NVIDIA 6-Series [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_Processing_Unit 3D GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), or later, (Kodi GUI requires at least OpenGL 1.3 support to run smoothly at an acceptable frame-rate in standard-definition, to run Kodi high-definition a more modern GPU is recommended).
Detailed technical information
For more details please visit the Development Notes section of this manual.
Source code
The Kodi source code is in the XBMC Foundation git repository on github.com. Full instructions for compiling/builing Kodi under Mac is available here:
