However, if accurate, it appears that someone has managed to get Kodi 17 working on devices running 4.4. Recently, posted over at about a modded version of Kodi 16.1 that had updated Python modules, meaning more HTTPS hosted content would be accessible. If your device runs Android 4.4, then Kodi 16.1 and DBMC 16.3.0 are the latest compatible versions. Kodi 17 requires Android 5 or higher to run. I was asked to pop a new thread into this section of the forum, so here we go: Hat tip and full credit to (see ) for posting about Kodi 17 on KitKat first.
