However we will maintain Leia images on our website for some time. Unfortunately OSMC cannot do anything about this.Ī: Unfortunately, downgrading is not trivial. Q: My add-ons are not working, what can I do?Ī: You should notify the developer of this add-on and ask them if there is a version compatible with the new version of Kodi.

#Kodi 19.1 builds skin#

You should check with the developer of the skin to see if there is a Matrix compatible version available Q: Will my current skin work with Kodi Matrix?Ī: The new version of Kodi has reworked the skinning system extensively, and as such, only a handful of skins are currently ready for Kodi Matrix. Kodi will also disable add-ons that are not Python 3 compatible. Note that this does not necessarily mean they be compatible with the new version of Kodi.

You should be able to enable them manually under Settings. Kodi has now moved to using Python 3 as the add-on interpreter, so add-ons which only support Python 2.x and haven’t been updated won’t work.Ī: To ensure compatibility where possible, Kodi disables any non-official add-ons by default when a new major version is released. Q: Are add-ons supported by Kodi Leia supported in Kodi Matrix?Ī: Not necessarily. You should check that your other Kodi clients are compatible with Kodi Matrix before upgrading. Q: I am using a shared library? Has the database version changed?Ī: Yes. Q: I only see a black screen / hang on migrating add-ons, what should I do?Ī: If you encounter this problem and a consider amount of time (more than half an hour) has passed, you should log in to the system and execute the above instructions from the previous question. This can be done by executing the following commands after accessing the command line: sudo systemctl stop mediacenterīefore attempting this, you may wish to try a more conservative approach, and delete ‘Addons.db’ only, as reports from users suggest that add-on migration is the problem The first recommendation would be to move it away and allow Kodi to generate a new userdata directory.

Q: I’ve installed the update and now I only have a black screen or a sad face loop, how do I fix this?Ī: It’s possible that your Kodi userdata is causing an issue with the new version. I’ll update this section as more issues are discovered. Aspect ratio issues when playing some videos.Videos that change resolution during playback can cause the decoder to get stuck.Firstly, please see the regressions section here: Kodi v19 Matrix is here.Known issuesĬurrently, we are aware of the following issues: When we do this, we’ll make a clear announcement on the forums and blog. You may wish to keep the modification to /etc/apt/sources.list, but we would recommend keeping this active until the final release is made available. There are outstanding issues, so we plan to push some further test builds over the coming days. You may wish to change this back to busterif you do not want to receive experimental updates.Īlso note that even though you’ve installed a fresh image, we are pushing updates regularly, so we’d recommend checking for updates immediately after installing.

We will release this as a stable build with the Kodi v19.1 release, which we expect to be made available at the end of the month. Just over a month ago, we outlined a list of things you need to know before considering upgrading to this version. There have been a number of technical challenges, but we now should have a release that is of the standard you would expect from us. Since then, we’ve been working on bringing this up for OSMC. The next version of Kodi v19 (codename Matrix) was released in January.
