Supports [Tested on daily]:
- XBMC 13-alpha, 13 13.2
- KODI 14
including Linux, Windows, OS X, Android, Pivos, iOS (including ATV2), Raspberry Pi
Note for Raspberry Pi users: Due to a bug in libcurl with HTTPS streams, playback of content on these devices may not work. I have tested on various Raspberry Pi distributions and have personally witnessed about a 90% failure rate for playback of videos over HTTPS. HTTP is unaffected. "Disk Cache", when implemented, will bypass this problem. It is not implemented at this time.
