Er is een update voor Kodi versie 15.0 uitgekomen, die vooralsnog als bèta wordt aangeboden. Kodi is crossplatform-mediacentersoftware die wordt ontwikkeld voor Windows, OS X, Linux, Android, iOS en de Raspberry Pi. Nieuw in versie 15.0, die codenaam Isengard heeft gekregen, is onder meer
adaptive seeking, wat inhoudt dat er met grotere of kleinere stappen door audio- en videobestanden kan worden gesprongen. Verder kan er op een visuele manier naar hoofdstukken worden gesprongen, is er ondersteuning voor hevc h265 onder Android op bepaalde chipsets en wordt er overgestapt op C++11 voor de code. Al dit moois heeft echter wel tot gevolg dat de minimumspecificaties zijn verhoogd. Zo is nu minimaal OS X 10.7, iOS 5.1 of Android 4.2 nodig. Versie 15.1 is een zogenaamde maintenance release en moet enkele fouten herstellen.
Kodi 15.1 Isengard – Release Candidate Once a ‘final’ version is released some new bugs and/or problems usually appear out of nowhere, and last release was no exception. Even though tens of thousands of users were already testing the 15.0 version before release, as soon as million started using it, some problems we either did not think of or which we did not notice popped up. To counter some of these new issues, we’re bringing you this maintenance release candidate called 15.1 RC1 which has some additional fixes on top of the 15.0 release.
This is still a release candidate; once enough users have verified that these improvements work out well, and we did not introduce any major regressions, we’ll be releasing it as final 15.1 version. To be safe just backup your userdata (online manual) first.
It should be ok to just install this on top of your current Kodi 15.0 version. For the MySQL users out there; we never bump the database versions in our bugfix or maintenance releases – you can safely keep using it within your network.
