OUYA uses Kodi for Android. The current version is Kodi v21 Omega.

  1. Kodi for Android - Most users will want to and should use the normal Kodi for Android version. This can be downloaded directly from http://mirrors.xbmc.org/releases/android/arm/ (the current stable version is Kodi v21 Omega).
  2. SPMC - Experimental fork of XBMC/Kodi with some extra stuff. SPMC also contains OUYA-specific fixes for audio passthrough.
  3. XBMC on OUYA - Don't install this. An unofficial version of XBMC based on v12.2 available from the OUYA Store. This is old and busted. Don't bother with it anymore.
