![]() ![]() This results in having only a few hours at most to spend on what they see as their hobby which i can say they are passionate about. As already mentioned the entire team consists of volunteers which means everything is done in their spare time next to having an actual day time job and a personal life. To put it in perspective we basically have only 1 developer for each section or even complete platform. Add to that the changes needed for each operating system upgrade that happens and all the problems that arise with that. Each of the core developers has his own specialty and since Kodi is quite big you quickly run out of developers that know enough of certain sections. ![]() To put it simple we want to ensure that Kodi remains alive on all platforms while at the same time lowering the support burden each developer now faces these days. Now comes the time that we will actually start calling out for some help. All this still with the same amount of people. Not forgetting the fact that it went from only a XBOX application to what is now running on Linux, Windows, iOS, OSX, Android. So why do we need you? Well the fact is that over the years the core team of Kodi has remained about the same size while the amount of users went from couple of thousand to many, many millions. This consist of writing and maintaining the code base of Kodi, expanding to new platforms, maintaining the forum, wiki, website and download server and more…… Over the years many volunteers have spent countless days if not months on every aspects of what makes Kodi great. We’re sure more will follow soon.Īs you may or may not know is that Kodi is maintained by a group of volunteers since its first inception dating back to the original XBOX days. Good new however is that a variety of skin have already start updating to latest changes.Īvailable skins: The following skins are already updated for version 16 and will auto-update when you upgrade. This means that for you to continue using Kodi 16.0 you will have to switch back to Confluence or wait till the skin you use has been updated in our repository. This release will mark any version 15 skin (or earlier) as incompatible and will ask you to switch back to Confluence. Skins: Sadly due to the amount of changes we’ll have to announce that skins will have certain parts non working. If the add-ons worked in Gotham, Helix and Isengard then we are happy to say that all these add-ons should still work. Since our 12.x Frodo release there have been some gradual changes but in general all add-ons, even from that time should still work, of course there are some exceptions. General: So far in version 16 there are no add-on changes that would impact any add-ons except for PVR. ![]() Visit the other announcements listed below for previous beta fixes. More in depth information can be found through the following links about the 16 release. The complete technical list can be found on our Github milestones.
