Kodi Leia Beta 3 is out today
- Thread starter andkaal
- Start date
Thanks.
I've been testing 18 on Android and have found it ...different.
Many functions used for IPTV (PVR's), have been omitted, or not enabled yet
Pressing OK to confirm for channel switches used to function with numeric input, as well as channel up/ down previewing while watching a channel.
It now only works with up/ down preview, relying on an algorithm that watches each number you press and waits until only one channel with that number sequence matches. (so you hit the wrong number, you cannot correct before it switches)
Channel connecting progress indicator is absent (what's happening?)
Confluence skin will not load (unless updated)
etc etc.

I guess you guys are techie type guys that like spending your time figuring out why this or that is not working ... right?
* Just a note of wisdom before anyone is contemplating this, at this point in the rework process!
If you have no reason to run a Beta version, especially if this is your main TV viewing system, why would you.
Even moving to a version 18 Release Candidate from 17.6, is going to cause you a lot of grief as many of the peripheral module have to be reworked.
(This is the main reason for the Beta/Alpha releases, is to allow addon Authors to get a heads-up with req'd. updating, along with experienced Beta testers to flesh out the bugs).
But if you like this type of thing, why not register yourself as a Beta Tester, and provide some feedback, as well as learn some of the guts... (but only if you don't have illegal addons in your systems!)
