It is the season for giving, so, for those who want the latest and greatest, this is for you: hot on the heels of Kodi 22 "Piers" Alpha 1 (and Kodi 21.3 "Omega"), we present the perhaps predictably-titled Alpha 2. Usual words - the step from 21 to 22 is a major release, but it's also an Alpha at this stage, so you're going to get some bugs as well as funky new features. That is, of course, a major part of the point of early release software: please raise GitHub issues with full debug logs to he

The more observant of you will have noticed that we've had some issues getting this version out to everyone, so some of you will have received this already depending on what channel you use (Flatpak, Google Play, winget community repos...). No matter, it's here for everyone now. While work is well underway on our next major release, with Alphas already out for Kodi 22.x "Piers", this doesn't mean we've given up on 21.x "Omega", as that's very much still our current release. So, with minimal fan

I watched the Vincent Must Die & Hallow Road double feature tonight. Between the movies, they showed a concession stand cartoon bumper that mimicked the old ones from the 60's, well probably even before that. It was cutsy and looked pretty sharp, but also had a lot of grain artifacts added to make it feel old. And about half way thru it got super dark, there was blood and the popcorn bucket character was stabbing his eye out. I've seen other horror movies at AMC but never seen this. So I'm g

And, off we go again. The dust settles on the festive season, so it's time for another pre-release to hit the streets... we're getting close to final release now, so we're moving out of Beta and into RC.
If you want to know the main features in this release series, please refer back to previous blog posts: this is an iteration of previous Beta releases, not a feature release, remember.
This is stable, reliable code, suitable for daily use. Please, then: install, test, and give us clear feedback on any remaining issues, either with the new features or perhaps with a regression in existing code. As this is a release candidate, we think it's basically ready to go, but let's aim to make sure.
You can get this release from here or - if appropriate - our nightly PPA here. If you're on Android, you can enrol in our Beta programme and get updates directly from Google Play.
As usual, you can also see changes since the last release here or browse the merged PRs here.
