The owners and developers behind the popular XBMC software have announced a name change that will see the software rebranded as 'Kodi'. The name change has been a long time coming in fairness, with the outgoing title suggesting to users that the powerful software is capable of being installed and invoked on Microsoft's Xbox gaming consoles. That may have been true once upon a time, but XBMC hasn't been capable of running on an Xbox since the original hardware release, with no compatibility being offered with Microsoft's 360 or One offerings. The rebrand will see the software welcome in its third name change in the last 12 years and should also provide some much-needed clarity on the Xbox compatibility issues.
