“We were quite shocked that it was that easy and of course gladly accepted this cooperation to get this done,”said Kodi, adding that the company has worked with Microsoft to make the application functional in the Windows Store.

Moreover, theDesktop App Converterwas improved with the help of Kodi and it will be useful for other developers who want to publish their apps in the Windows Store. As for the new version of the media player, Kodi explained thefollowing:

It’s still the same Kodi version you are used to without any limitations. Additionally, you don’t really have to go to our website anymore but straight away install Kodi from the Windows Store and automatically receive any future updates. For us developers, the added benefit is we’ll possiblly get some crash logs in case they happen and we could use these to identify problems and include fixes in next update.

As for the application, it has a graphical user interface that allows you to easily browse and view videos, photos, podcasts, and music from a hard drive, optical disc, local network, and the internet using only a few buttons.
