New Year, New Kodi? Not quite, but here we go with the next point release of the 21.x “Omega” series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The usual story: bugfixes, not features. The full changelog can be found on\u00a0Github<\/a>, as usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Major user-facing changes include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Library\/Sources and Management<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Video<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Music<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Plugins<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Filesystem<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n PVR<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Skin\/GUI<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Android<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Linux<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n OSX<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Windows<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We always want to thank everyone who has helped us track down and fix any issues. We endeavour to minimise the issues everyone experiences, but with such a large project, and the fact everyone contributing to Kodi is a volunteer, issues and bugs are a part of life. If you happen to experience any bugs\/issues, don’t hesitate to reach out on the forums, or raise an issue on Github.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As this is a point release, there are no major changes since the previous version, and you should be fine to install this straight over the top of any existing Kodi 21.x installation – indeed, this will happen automatically on many platforms. However, as for all software installations, back up your userdata beforehand if you’ve any doubts or have anything you can’t afford to lose (and definitely do this if you’re going for a major version upgrade).<\/p>\n\n\n\n A list of all changes for this version can be found at GitHub<\/a>. If you want to read back on the full history of v21 itself, or of previous versions, you can find the corresponding articles in the relevant blog posts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Application deployment on different platforms (notably the Microsoft Store) can vary considerably due to circumstances outside of our control, so just be patient, and the update will inevitably find its way through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Windows Store\/Android Deployment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Due to the internal and external hoops we need to jump through, it might be a little while before the update appears for you, and that’s before our usual staged approach to deployment. Sit tight, and it will be with you in due course (maybe the next week or two).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note for Windows Users<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Because we’re updating binary add-ons with this release, you’re likely to experience crashes due to version issues if you don’t also update the Visual C++ runtime. This is particularly likely if you stay on 21.1 (i.e. the add-ons get updated, but Kodi doesn’t).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The solution is to upgrade to 21.2 and thus install the Visual C++ runtime that comes with the 21.2 installer or, if you really want stay on 21.1, update the Visual C++ runtime externally from\u00a0https:\/\/aka.ms\/vs\/17\/release\/vc_redist.x64.exe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *UPDATE FOR WINDOWS USERS<\/strong>: If you’re experiencing crashes since this update was released, please read the note at the end of this post about updating your Visual C++ runtime.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New Year, New Kodi?
