Could you build this?

Partial A simple media library or launcher is buildable, but Kodi is a large mature C++ codebase with a deep add-on ecosystem, hardware decoding, and cross-platform support that a solo vibe-coded version would not match.

What it would actually take: Kodi-class software is a large C++ application built on FFmpeg or hardware decoders, OpenGL/Vulkan rendering, and a plugin API. Matching it requires systems and media-engineering expertise, cross-platform testing, and years of community-driven add-on and skin development.
