Sin duda XBMC es uno de los MediaCenters por excelencia y de gran popularidad, contando con versiones para los diferentes sistemas operativos de PC, Mac, dispositivos móviles y también Raspberry o Apple TV, así que tras una temporada pudiendo probar su versión Gotham (XBMC 13) en fase beta el equipo de desarrollo ya ha liberado la versión final y estable del popular reproductor.
Las novedades en esta versión son numerosas, se ha trabajado especialmente su fluidez y respuesta en dispositivos de poca potencia como la Raspberry y otros basados con CPU ARM para intentar sacar el máximo de provecho, además se ha solucionado la compatibilidad con Android 4.0 y mejorado notablemente la decodificación de vídeo en todas las versiones de este sistema operativo, además parece que Gotham soluciona los problemas que había en el funcionaiento de su "airplay", el streaming que usa XBMC a través de uPNP.
Resaltar que se ha quitado el soporte en Windows XP, puesto que Microsoft ha dado por finalizada la vida de este sistema pese a que muchos ordenadores lo siguen utilizando.
