I have a handful of software that I have used for years and still love. Kodi, the media player app, never fails to make the list. Totally free and open source, Kodi 21, aptly nicknamed “Omega,” has just come out and is not just another update—it’s a giant leap for Kodi-kind! With this latest version, the Kodi universe expands further across platforms and pumps up its feature set to boost your media experience. So, what’s under the hood? Let’s dive in!
Hello, Gorgeous Visuals
First off, Kodi 21 brings the power of FFmpeg 6.0.1 to the table. What does this mean for you? Sharper processing speeds, smoother video playback, and an all-around snappier performance that handles everything from Dolby Vision to the latest in HDR10 on your devices. It’s like giving your media player a turbo boost while ensuring everything remains sleek and smooth.
macOS Goes Native
Apple lovers, rejoice! Kodi has finally embraced macOS fully with native windowing. Gone are the days of SDL libraries—welcome to the era of seamless integration that feels right at home on your Mac. It’s sleek, it’s fast, and it fits right into the macOS ecosystem like a dream.
The New Kid on the Block: webOS
In a thrilling development, Kodi has now been ported to LG webOS TVs! Imagine that—your smart TV just got smarter. This is huge because it’s not just about adding another device to the list; it’s about tailoring the Kodi experience to fit the unique media pipeline of webOS. Big applause to the Kodi devs who reverse-engineered their way into making this happen.
Game On, Kodi!
For the gamers out there, Kodi 21 introduces an in-game player viewer. Now, you can see which game port is active for each controller during your gaming sessions. It’s like having a dashboard for your gaming hardware right inside Kodi. Whether you’re racing, battling, or strategizing, Kodi has your back.
Under the Hood
Behind the scenes, Kodi 21 has been tinkering away to improve stability, performance, and safety. With changes aimed at evolving Python and binary add-ons, as well as updates across all platforms, Kodi isn’t just working harder; it’s working smarter. These might not be changes you see, but you’ll definitely feel them in the smoother, faster, and more secure experience.
