Gave it a try myself, and it does in fact work. I know someone did this about a year ago, but it didn't work for much. This version does allow Play store to work and download. Doesn't work for Netflix yet, and I haven't found an Amazon video APK for x86 either yet but still great to see someone making it work on PC hardware.

BTW, unless I am mistaken, this requires EFI boot, so it wont work with older BIOS only systems. Make sure when you format you name the partitions exactly as he says, mine wouldn't boot at all until I named the partitions correctly.

This might be good for x86 pc sticks. With the shield being too pricey and the mi box being too buggy, this might be exactly what people need.

Has anyone tried running it in VirtualBox? I don't have much of a use for an x86 build of ATV, but I'd love to mess around with it.

if im not mistaken, it is based off androidx86 project.

one of the dealbreakers here is that HDMI audio is still in development (as of Oct 2016 to be exact)

How is Kodi performance? HW acceleration?
