Kodi 17 features a huge amount of work in areas like video playback, live TV and PVR/DVR, the music library, skinning and more. It features a new default skin, as well as a new default touchscreen skin, named Estuary and Estouchy, respectively. With all this work done over the months some bugs might slip through and were hoping to quickly squash the coming beta releases. The changes for this fourth beta are the result of the continuous effort from the developers, either from inside the team or outside to get v17 into final release shape. and any outside.

Known problems
[*] Upgrading the skin you are currently using fails on Windows.
• Possible video freezes on Raspberry Pi and Android.
We are trying to find the cause solve these problems. Of course there are some more however these are the most noticeable ones.
What’s new?
This round we didn’t really add new features as the focus was to further improve our code and solving possible bugs. We do have some more improvements lined up for next beta so stay tuned…….
Windows Store
NOTE: Since it takes a bit of time to publish in Windows Store you might need to wait a bit till the update is available.
All in all this Beta 4 might not seem very excited but that’s how it’s supposed to be. We’re simply focusing more on stability and working out the details than keep adding bells and whistles.
