Well done
@SonyElectronics
for actively preventing users from installing Kodi on their newer Android TVs. How grown up of you. Even their firmware in the TVs is broken. Guess we will suggest users to just buy something else that does work.
Let us end the year 2017 with a blast including a nostalgic reference to the past. It has long been asked for by so many and now it finally happened. Kodi for Xbox One is available worldwide through Windows and Xbox Store.

BREAKING NEWS: If some third-party addons devs quit doesn't effect the official team Kodi developers even the slightest. Stop believing the stupid sensation tabloids and websites!
After two years of hard work by all volunteers, either part of the team or of our great community we can finally say the last steps towards Kodi v18 are being being made.
Patience. We are aware of the issues. Our devs are limited in numbers and are unpaid volunteers. v18 is in ALPHA and is for testing purposes, not for daily use. It will get fixed when it's fixed. No amount of self-entitled aggressive tweets to us will change that timeline.
Are you still making demands of us like we owe you something? Makes you sound a tad ungrateful. As already stated, the tireless unpaid volunteer developers of our free software will issue an update when it is ready.
Perhaps after about 16 months of work on the core code of Kodi it's time to do a first alpha version. It's still not perfect though there's a good feeling in general that it works quite well. Any one else already using the v18 nightly version?

yes kodi could see that although they don't like addons it helps there company keep popular they don't need to agree with ins n outs..
Kodi v19 is out! Keep in mind, we have updated everything to Python 3, so make sure any addons you use have been updated, or they will be marked as incompatible on upgrade.
This year we are thankful for our contributors: Devs, add-on devs, skinners, artists, moderators, testers, wiki writers, users who answer questions and help other users, and those who donate or buy merch. It takes a village. Thank you all!
The 64-bit Kodi version for Windows is now feature complete and on same level as 32-bit. From now on the 32-bit installer will include a warning to ask you to install the 64-bit instead.
Due to some Windows Store issues out of our control the

version was briefly gone. However it's now back including a first batch of fixes and is now available as automatic update.
Everyone asking why their addons don’t work: “TVDB are updating their site. Their site currently has a number of bugs that have broken the TVDB scraper and any add-on that relies on TVDB data. TVDB are working to rectify the problems.”
We can’t help you w/ any 3rd party add-on.
So now we are being threathend by certain individuals that they will start stealing our code and API keys to make sure Kodi will stop working. So much for that great "community" that brings you those third party add-ons.
I guess we have to repeat this again and again until every one understands we do NOT want to be associated with or asked about these so called kodi boxes and add-ons
A new hope dawns and it is finally time to start heading towards a final release. Today we are happy to announce that we are bringing you the first official pre-release Alpha build to a galaxy near you.
It appears that it was a software bug in the firmware that caused users to be prevented from installing Kodi on newer

TVs. This was because of a certain letter combination in our package ID. Sony promised an update will be sent out to fix this problem.
Kodi "Leia" 18.5 Release
(And if you’re having trouble with thetvdb still, this will not fix it, unfortunately it has nothing to do with us nor is it something we can do anything about)
