Kodi overview
Kodi (was XBMC) is an award-winning free and open-source (GPL) software media player and entertainment hub that can be installed on Linux, OS X, Windows, iOS, and Android, featuring a 10-foot user interface for use with televisions and remote controls. It allows users to play and view most videos, music, podcasts, and other digital media files from local and network storage media and the internet.
Note: To install Kodi on OS X 10.9 Mavericks or later, you need to right-click the application after it has been installed and select "Open" from the list (this need only be done once). Alternatively, you can go to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General. From there, unlock the lock at the bottom of the window and "Allow apps downloaded from: Anywhere." This second method is the preferred method, as you will no longer be bothered for future XBMC updates.

Version: 20.5
I've thrown Kodi away. I won't bother with it again. It's garbage. It's developers don't care. Good riddance.

ARM versions of Kodi are available for SEVERAL different operating systems, but NOT for Mac. Digging around on the Internet I found there have been SEVERAL requests for Kodi to catch up with Apple M-series ARM processors with NO response from "Team Kodi". And of course, the devs are so careless and ignorant as to still call it "Mac OS X". Further digging through the Kodi Community Forum, the only useful Mac related post I found was about being able to use the Windows ARM version of Kodi running in an ARM version of Windows using Parallels. Big whoop. IMHO Team Kodi will never give a rat's about ARM macOS. As such, I continue to give it one single star. It deserves it.

The dev site claims this version of Kodi is "Mac OS X native". That shows how out-of-touch they are. (1) It's been macOS for years now. (2) It's INTEL coded ONLY, meaning no way is it native to ARM M-Series Mac CPUs. (0_o) - - Catch up with reality please!

I don't like the hostile takeover of the display when starting the program and that's why I threw it in the bin right away.
Die feindliche Übernahme des Displays beim Starten des Programs gefällt mir gar nicht und war der Grund warum ich es gleich wieder in die Tonne warf.

Upon further review. Went into system settings and changed monitor to Mac monitor. Problem resolved.
