I have looked around and came only across fake videos making fun of it, so it’s not possible or what? any links to how I can do it would be grateful

Thanks

The only way to use Kodi on an ATV3 is to airplay it from say an iPhone or iPad, the setup of this makes the iPad/iphone become a touch remote for kodi while in airplay mode and this works fine, however…..

you have to have an iPad / iPhone with kodi installed, which means jailbroken or installed via a developer account and signed, then you need a version of IOS on this device that is comparable with the ATV airplay system as apple changed the protocol used for airplay in later versions of IOS which may not be compatible with the older IOS versions running on ATV3.

A lot to think about to be honest ATV2 and ATV1 are now too old and don’t support the latest versions of kodi since 14.2 and this was flakey on ATV2 sometimes, these platforms are no longer officially supported by kodi dev team so in all honestly your best bet is to go with the ATV4 if you want to stick with apple devices.

Their are however numerous alternatives available and a quick google search will bring up a few good cheap alternatives, Fire sticks, Pi’s, Cheap PC linked to tv via cdmi or vga,

i personally use a 27″ iMac in my man cave for kodi (every bloke needs a man cave, best room in the house) haha

good luck with your search for an alternative, PM me if you need any more advice.
