Kodi and Lumia 950 running Windows 10 - vinhdt - 2015-10-08
Do you think kodi can be install on the future phone Lumia 950 running Windows 10? I might be getting the Lumia 950 XL but also wanted to know if Kodi can be install on it. Thanks.

No. That would require KODI to be build as a Universal app and there are technical reasons based on our KODI is built now that makes that not possible.
Search this forum for "Windows 10 Mobile" and you'll find a few other threads on this topic already.
...oh, and I'll be getting a Lumia 950 XL as soon as I can get my hands on one! Looks like a cracking phone!

Maybe once Windows Phone 10 becomes more popular someone will create an universal app version of kodi

If it is a phone it will also need a build for a totally different architecture as I assume they are ARM processors and not x86.

Maybe you misunderstood my response. It's not a "it's not popular so let's not port a build", it is significant re-architecting to work in the construct of the Universal app model.
Would it be worth it? 110 million Windows 10 PCs in the first 10 weeks since release that could use a Universal app, which could be provisioned through the Store significantly increasing discoverability, usage, ease of installation and people getting conned by "not original builds from other sources" and having a poor Kodi experience. And, it would be a little hypocritical to say this is not partially desired given Kodi is now available through the Google Play store (but not the Amazone one, but I won't get started on the issues of the Android ecosystem..).
Now, add Windows Phone which, when you look at existing devices able to be upgraded to Windows 10 Mobile alone numbers in the 10's of millions, and Xbox One which will be upgraded to new OS based on Windows 10 core in the next 8 weeks and run Universal Apps.. again, numbers in the millions.. and already running a very good 'competitor' to Kodi (Plex).
So, would it be worth looking at the re-architecting? That's up to the dev team

What do you think Android runs on? ARM

I'm willing to donate for a universal app version. I think there might be a lot of users willing to pay.
On the other hand, since windows 10 is build to support universal app then we might see in a near future that there will be a lot of other apps similar to Kodi to be ported. I hope it will not be too late for Kodi.

If MS releases the tool to convert W32 application to UWP app, probably it will be much easier
