Ouya Teams Up With XBMC

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday August 8, 2012 @02:10AM from the it's-like-boxee-only-different dept.

New submitter JG0LD writes "The team behind open-source media platform XBMC announced yesterday that it would be working with the developers of Ouya to make sure that XBMC works on the still-developing but widely hyped Android gaming console." From XBMC: "Regardless, we are delighted to announce that XBMC will be working with Ouya to ensure that XBMC works well on the Ouya platform. Ouya's Android underpinnings and XBMC's work on Android (soon to be merged into master, pending final sign-offs!) will dramatically speed up that effort, as will early XBMC dev access to Ouya prototypes."

1. Where can I donate? XBMC rocks and I'm long overdue :)
Here.

2. Where can I get fresh builds of the Android port? I can't wait to fire it up on my Google TV!
According to their wiki some porting of libraries may still need to be done but you can clone into their github source for android and try to build it for your device (use their wiki to get started). I think all their development has been done for Pivos which now is an official sponsor of XBMC.
