I tried Kodi 14.2, but it didn't work. It installed but wouldn't open.
Is there an older version of Kodi anywhere that I could try?
I have XBMC Frodo on it, but it's kinda buggy and doesn't work smoothly. Is there a newer version of XBMC anywhere?
I'd feel really silly installing Windows 8.1 just to run Kodi. I have a newer MacBook that's usually my main computer, but it needs repairs. So I'm back to using the old one in the mean time.

Hello , is it possible to compile recent Kodi for Snow Leopard -- similar as on Linux/unix Debian?
Thanks

Because kodi uses features that are not available in the snow leopard sdk. Come on?

Sdk - that means snow leopard has not the needed capabilities to run the kodi binary because it is missing function calls we use.

If it was just about compiling - why would we have dropped support for snow leopard in the first place in your opinion?

i am sorry but of no expertise in this field ... i just don't see big difference from the different kodi versions so therefore i thought there must be a way ... but hey, i might just be wrong + too eagerly sticking to old piece of software. i like snow leopard because it allows me to run still powerpc software. thats it.
