The Add-ons side panel includes a number of options in addition to update settings, such as the option to hide any add-ons that aren’t expected to work in your region. To change add-on update settings, visit the Add-ons folder in System Settings then, if you are using Confluence, open the side panel by clicking the left button or arrow on your keyboard or remote. First, users can now prevent add-ons from updating without a forced update, prevent add-on update notifications, or simply continue to work with add-ons auto-updating as they do today. Two new features have been introduced with Kodi that should give users even more control over how the software works. UPnP search functions are also slowly working their way into Kodi. Further, communication between Kodi UPnP clients and Kodi UPnP servers continues to improve with proper or additional support for categories like date added, ratings, votes, and artwork, along with sorting for those new categories.
Kodi is now significantly more compatible with servers like PlayOn and MediaBrowser, as client-related bugs have been dealt with. On the output side, work continues, slowly but surely, on UPnP. On the input side, library scanning is receiving a massive speed boost, which should make the initial scan on Android and iOS devices quite a bit more spritely. The Kodi Library is getting improvements both coming in and going out. This means most low power systems, such as those operating Android or iOS, may struggle compared to the heftier HTPCs or Intel NUCs and ZOTAC ZBOXes that are running desktop and laptop processors. The caveat to this update is that the decoding of h.265 is entirely software based. Software support for the VP9 video codec is also included.
Users with particularly large libraries or interest in 4K video may be especially likely to appreciate this update. A 40 GB file could be compressed to 20 GB. The use of HEVC and VP9 could result in dramatically smaller video files sizes with exactly the same level of quality. For users, this means Kodi will now be capable of playing back h.265 (also known as HEVC) and VP9 video codecs. To begin, Kodi has been updated to use FFmpeg 2.4.4. Instead, the application has gone through a name change (Kodi) and the new version 14.0 promises some very exciting new features. Many of you may know that XBMC is no longer XBMC. The application is the forefront of my media center and controls all things entertainment in my home. I am a huge fan of XBMC and have been for quite some time.
