Kodi is great. But each time I have upgraded it some things have improved and somethings have stopped working. Currently the guide doesn't show which items are being recorded and there doesn't seem to be any way to stop series record. But I am too scared to upgrade in case it breaks everything!
I've been using Kodi since 2007, my NAS is a USB 3.0 HDD plugged into an Asus router. Its been great and more independent than Plex. I won't be updating to v19 anytime soon though. Us FireTV users have been manually updating for ages, so its finally paying off now. Given from this thread I've learned that v19 on Android has no maintainer, and addons are broken, that double whammy means I'd recommend waiting until 18.9 or its addons stop working correctly.<p>Sounds like for Shield users, the best option is to sideload the F-Droid apk to avoid having the same signature as the Play store version, to avoid having to disable all updates.<p>Not much else to do, just yet another project that's a casualty of Python 3.
Has anyone migrated from Plex to Kodi who can weigh in on whether it was worth it? I have a solid little raspberry PI based home media streaming & download setup, with Plex as the central media app, but I’ve been curious about if kodi is wholesale better in some regards.
I've been enjoying Kodi 18 "Leia" as both a NAS video client for the TV and as a game system emulator.<p>Multiplayer arcade games from the early nineties have been especially well received when we have company over... Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles work great as 2-3 player brawlers.<p>Raspberry Pi 3 is great for the sprite-based graphics but basically can't keep up with 3D graphics; no big deal though as long as you respect that limitation.<p>I'll keep an eye on Kodi 19 Matrix and see if I spot a compelling reason to update.
Does anyone have a good overview of how the plug-in community is transitioning to Python 3 overall? I've only noticed one I regularly offer a new version ahead in anticipation of v19 and even that was fairly recently.
Kodi is very awesome, but never worked well for me. This bug rendered it unusable. Hope it has been or can be fixed.<p><a href="https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=344992" rel="nofollow">https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=344992</a>
If anyone has free time and is willing to, I think the Kodi team is looking for Android developers as the Android version is unmaintained.<p><a href="https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=360369&pid=3012332#pid3012332" rel="nofollow">https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=360369&pid=3012332#...</a>
