Kodi holds a huge potential to become media entertainment center for future smart home. It is supported by hundreds translator, coders and also millions long term fans. Kodi has been spawning its own community since 2012.

This popular app is installed by millions worldwide devices, and its growing. This app allows you to watch and stream movies from whether internet or your SD card memory. You can download Kodi 17.0 Krypton Beta 1 from the Official Kodi 17.0 development downloads.Kodi is all in one pack media player for multiple devices, including your android. A longer, and more detailed discussion of the changes in VideoPlayer may be found in the Alpha 2 write-up VideoPlayer – The switch from Kodi’s old DVDPlayer to the new, modern VideoPlayer may be one of the most massive re-writes in Kodi’s long history. Timers and Timer Rules are now clearer and better organized and timers are much smarter now.

Channels can now be organized by last played, so if you really only watch 5 or 6 of your 300 channels, those can always be at the top of the list. Live TV and PVR/DVR Improvements – The Live TV and PVR/DVR component of Kodi has seen just as much improvement with Krypton as the music library. Additionally, certain files and websites support musical “mood,” which means you can now select your music based on mood, rather than artist or genre. Made it possible to point Kodi to new media sources from the settings menu, a requested feature for many years.Īn Improved Music Library – The improved music library now supports better tag reading and scraping, better handling of albums and artists with the addition of adding artist role (such as composer, conductor, DJ, etc.). It also enables color and theme changes within the skin, and overall pulls Kodi into the present day of UI design.Ī Cleaner, Clearer Settings Section – Cleaning up and reorganizing Settings with the ultimate goal of making the section, if not friendly, then at least clearer for new and journeymen Kodi users. This skin pulls a dramatic amount of content to the homescreen, including much from your music and video libraries, commonly used add-ons, and links to adding new video/music sources and installing new add-ons. What the changes? The changes between Alpha 3 and Beta 1 are mainly limited to minor fixes and under the hood improvements, so for this first beta, we’ll instead take some time to review a few of the really visible changes in Kodi 17.Įstuary and Estouchy – The biggest visual change from Kodi 16 to 17 is the new default skin Estuary (and its touchscreen counterpart Estouchy). It features a new default skin, as well as a new default touchscreen skinned, named Estuary and Estouchy, respectively. Kodi 17 features a huge amount of work in areas like video playback, live TV and PVR/DVR, the music library, skinning and more.
