Eons ago somebody on the AVS forums made a huge collection of commercials, slides, trivia and some other stuff for back when this was HTE or. Anywho, he had put everything on a DVD and I paid for him to burn and ship me one. There's a whole lot on it. This was back when people still had DVD drives and Kodi wasn't even Kodi yet. So it's not super high quality by today's standards. But there's some great stuff. I don't just want to wreckelessly upload stuff, so I'm asking is there anything I can't
Here we go folks: ramping things up, so we now have the first Beta for Kodi v20, "Nexus".
As always, thanks go out to all contributors for their work. We are nearing 4,000 commits since v19 "Matrix" was first released on February 19th 2021.

Thank you once again to everyone who has contributed to this release.
This is the first Beta release of Nexus, and we are quite confident in its stability, however always backup your configs before testing, and please let us know of any regressions or issues you find.
If you want to take the plunge, you can get Beta 1 from here. Select your platform of choice, and look in the "Prerelease" section.
As usual - well, it is open source - you can see what's changed between v20 Alpha 3 and Beta 1 here.
