After about 15 months since the release of Kodi 20 she came new version 21 codenamed Omega. During development, the creators addressed almost 4000 notes, comments and reports from users. Kodi 21 is Download for all common desktop systems, Android (TV), LibreELEC, iOS, tvOS, Xbox and for the first time also on webOS, which runs on smart TVs from LG.
There is news several dozen, but not all are available on all platforms. In general, all versions can benefit from the transition to the ffmpeg 6 multimedia library, thanks to which Kodi can now handle AVIF photos or M3U8 and B4S playlists. The stability of the live streaming recorder (PVR) and game emulators has been increased.
Improved compatibility with Dolby Vision on Android. On macOS, Kodi already uses the native API for rendering windows and fully supports HiDPI (Retina) displays. Xbox can already work with HDR10.
On Windows, hardware acceleration was then extended to other areas in the player. The AV1 format can be played through the video processor in the GPU, the image can be sent to the monitor or TV in HDR10, and Kodi in Windows 11 understands the Video Super Resolution function, which uses the power of the GPU to better scale the image from a lower resolution to a higher one. The function is currently only available on chips from Nvidia and Intel. Kodi 21 then says goodbye to Windows 7 and 8 support, requiring at least Windows 8.1.
