Announcing the release of Kodi 22 “Piers” Alpha 3! 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 help us resolve any regressions you wonderful testers come across. Okay, what’s new in this version? Changelog Release highlights Added support for taglines in

So, here we are, back in the roo atm after a day of sidebar meetings, coding, hacking, experimenting, and general conferencing. Time for some more structured sessions, starting with some of our partner projects. Chewitt started us off with an overview of LibreELEC: hardware updates and changes, new chip set support, some challenges with older SoCs, plans for standardising e.g. kernel trees more, and so on. He also covered topics such as the challenges around supporting set-top box DVB tuners, p

Well, hello everyone! It’s that time of year again, when your favourite development team rouse themselves from their long winter slumber and emerge, blinking in the light, to reconnect with their fellow creatures. Welcome to DevCon 2026! We’re coming to you this year from about an hour outside Barcelona, which makes this a return visit. Not that it matters, I guess; you probably know how this works by now, so let’s get straight in … As seems to be tradition now, we kicked off with a round of r

Currently working out a series of videos for theater intros. Using Unreal Engine. Slow going but I hope to make one for every genre. At least I have one. I customized the Regal Cinemas 1990's roller coaster to my theater. Used some AI to change some wording in the narration and Davinci resolve to edit the text on the marque scroller. Gruelling work as unreal Engine is hard to learn. Nothing is straight forward. Everything is a task. But I hope in the end it looks great. Doing an old West town

Hello, We’ve run into a portability issue when creating sequences in PreShow Experience on a desktop or non-media-server player. Currently, PreShow stores all media references as absolute file paths tied to the original machine. This means that if we move a PreShow project folder to another server or workstation, the sequence breaks because the media paths still point to the original device location. This creates unnecessary extra steps when deploying sequences for: Short films Theatre intros
In the last 24 hours we became aware of a dump of the Kodi user forum (MyBB) software being advertised for sale on internet forums. This post confirms that a breach has taken place.
MyBB admin logs show the account of a trusted but currently inactive member of the forum admin team was used to access the web-based MyBB admin console twice: on 16 February and again on 21 February. The account was used to create database backups which were then downloaded and deleted. It also downloaded existing nightly full-backups of the database. The account owner has confirmed they did not access the admin console to perform these actions.
The admin team have disabled the account used in the breach and have conducted an initial review of team infrastructure the team member had access to.
The nightly full backups that were downloaded expose all public forum posts, all team forum posts, all messages sent through the user-to-user messaging system, and user data including forum username, email address used for notifications, and an encrypted (hashed and salted) password generated by the MyBB (v1.8.27) software. At the current time, we have found no evidence of unauthorised access to the underlying server that hosts the MyBB software.
Although MyBB stores passwords in an encrypted format we must assume all passwords are compromised. This requires actions from the team, and forum users:
We will post more information as it becomes available.
