I had bought an AppleTV years ago and returned it after realizing the device was super walled in. Has that changed? Can you install apps like Plex and Kodi?

    I was a faithful user of Kodi since it was named XBMC an ran on the first version of XBOX game console, after that I have it on a Celeron 4 core MiniPC, then I move my library to Kodi and used it form many years, then I found InFuse and after that I got rid of all my MiniPC’s and got several Apple TV’s 4K. Today those are my streaming devices in my household. For me the best combination is inFuse and Apple TV 4K to manage home digital media libraries.

      For me I started with XBMC running on a raspberry pi. With Apple TV I started with Plex and now it’s all streaming apps. Didn’t know XBMC is now called Kodi.

        If I’m not wrong, it was a fork of XBMC or something. I stop using it because it was not available on ATV natively. If you want to install it you have to jailbreak the device and that a lot of problems.

        I’ve change to InFuse because it is in the ATV Store. It cost 9 bucks a year, but it totally worth it.
