Happy 2025 everyone. I hope you’re ringing in the new year with joy, relaxation, and maybe even a few of your favorite movies. There’s nothing like cozying up at home, diving into a great story, and sharing the magic of cinema with loved ones. Here’s to a year filled with happiness, laughter, and endless movie nights! 🍿✨ What are you most looking forward to in 2025? Let us know—we’d love to hear!
So, here we go, with no further ado, we'd like to present the first Alpha releases of Kodi 20.x "Nexus".
This is a major release, so, as you'd expect, it comes with many new features. However, it will inevitably cause problems for some people, which is why we'll go through a more traditional Alpha/Beta/Release Candidate model. As such, then, please be aware that installing this will inevitably break things, and we'd really like your help at that point to identify the problems and get them fixed.
So, all that aside... what's actually changed?

If you want to take the plunge, you can get Alpha 1 from here. Select your platform of choice, and look in the "Prerelease" section. Again, though, please: expect some breakage, don't use this as your daily installation unless you know how to get things working again, and please share your experiences back with us so we can really get going on those bugs.
As usual - well, it is open source - you can see what's changed between v20 and v19 here. It's a long list...
