XBian: .kodi vs .xbmc - il_mix - 20th Apr, 2015 09:39 PM

Hi, everyone!

I've installed XBian on my Raspberry Pi.
I've noticed that in my home there are both a .kodi and a .xbmc folder. If I didn't got it wrong, XBMC became Kodi, so in the last versions of XBian there must be Kodi under the hood.
I've tried renaming .xbmc and reboot the system, and it still works normal. So I suppose just .kodi is used.
Am I right?
If so, why .xbmc is still there?

Thanks
MIX

Hi,

.xbmc is just a link that points to the .kodi folder. It is probably there so that any unmodified code which expects to find a folder named .xbmc continues to work.
