	<section begin="intro" />Kodi is officially supported on a number of operating systems and hardware devices that are designed to be connected directly to a TV. Kodi runs well on what are relatively "underpowered" systems, thanks to hardware video decoding being common on nearly all supported platforms. These requirements don't include what might be required for some "advanced" features, such as PVR, which might require additional hardware. <section end="intro" />		<section begin="intro" />Kodi is officially supported on a number of operating systems and hardware devices that are designed to be connected directly to a TV.

			== General Requirements ==
			<section begin="General Requirements" />
			Kodi's rich user interface requires hardware acceleration by a graphics card. The currently supported application interfaces are OpenGL, OpenGL ES, and DirectX. DirectX is used only on Windows and Xbox, all other platforms access OpenGL/OpenGL ES. Each interface comes with its own requirements.

			=== OpenGL ===
			<section begin="OpenGL" />Kodi will run on older systems sporting OpenGL 2.1, provided it supports the following GL extensions:
			* GL_EXT_texture_swizzle/GL_ARB_texture_swizzle

			The follwing extensions are optional, but recommended:
			* GL_EXT_texture_sRGB
			* GL_EXT_texture_sRGB_R8
			* GL_EXT_texture_sRGB_RG8

			The recommended version of OpenGL is 3.3 (released in 2010) or newer. To get the full feature set of Kodi, OpenGL 4.0 is needed.
			<section end="OpenGL" />
			=== OpenGL ES ===
			<section begin="OpenGL ES" />Kodi features support of OpenGL ES 2.0, with some limitations. The follwing extensions are optional, but recommended:
			* GL_EXT_texture_format_BGRA8888/GL_IMG_texture_format_BGRA8888/GL_APPLE_texture_format_BGRA8888
			* GL_ETC1_RGB8_OES

			OpenGL ES 3.0 is recommended, but OpenGL ES 3.2 is required to enable all features.<section end="OpenGL ES" />

			=== DirectX ===
			<section begin="DirectX" />GPU drivers must support DirectX 11 Feature Level 9.1.<section end="DirectX" /><section end="General Requirements" />
