Today some news from Kodi team. Kodi team has prepared another version of the new Kodi v17 “Krypton”. Kodi v17 Krypton Alpha 3 is now available.

kodi 17.0 Krypton alpha 2

This v17 release which the users have named Krypton features a huge amount of rework in various areas like video playback, live TV & PVR, music library, skinning and more. What the changes introduced ikodi team in Kodi v17 Krypton Alpha 3:

  • Skin features – Estuary for regular use and Estouchy for touchscreen devices. At the same time we made sure some limitations we had to deal with in the past are now solved or at least improved. One of those was that the context menu (right click) didn’t work on any media items that were displayed on the home screen. Well now you can call up the menu like in library view.
  • Music library – This section received a lot of love during the past year to get it up to speed again and it’s certainly catching up to the video section. Some of the improvements include better tag scanning, browsing speed ups and a lot more tag fields to be used and shown. You music enthousiast will certainly be happy with these changes so we encourage you to try it out and leave you feedback on our Kodi forum.
  • Live TV and PVR (Personal Video Recorder) – To make it easy i just copied the list from one of our developers on the changes that happened in this section.• Extend Kodi eventlog with PVR events, namely ‘create/delete timers and timer rules’ and ‘start/stop recordings’.
    • Guide window: Allow timer creation for EPG in recent past.
    • Timer window: Add option to hide disabled timers.
    • Separate windows for “Timer Rules” and “Timers”.
    • Guide & Search window: Add ‘Edit timer’/’Edit timer rule’ to context menu.
    • Timer rules window: Echo up important Status info to Timer Rules.
    • Guide window: Use timer logos depending on its state (needs skin support).
    • Added enhancement and improvements to the PVR add-on API (connection state change handling, asynchronous EPG updates, and more – needs support from the different PVR add-ons!).
    • Channels window: Add support for sorting channels by ‘last played’.
    • Recordings window: Separate TV and Radio recordings.
    • Guide window: performance improvements, especially on first open.
    • Guide & Search window: Add ‘Delete timer rule’ to context menu.
    • Add “ShowTimerRule” builtin, so one for instance can map a key to open the “add timer” dialog which is pre-filled to create a epg-based timer rule.
    • Rework PVRManager: add-ons are now owned by add-on system.
    • Make instant recording behavior configurable (fixed-time vs. current show vs. interactive).
    • Timers: Allow to change timer type for existing timers. Makes it possible to for example ‘transform’ a timer for one episode of a show to a series recording (timer rule) for that show.
    • Recordings window: make ‘group items’ setting persistent.
    • JSON-RPC api: Sync pvr types fields with current implementation.
    • Lots of bug fixes in all areas.
  • Game controller add-on – In the past it has always been a pain to configure game controllers within Kodi. There were some XML files people could download and copy to a certain location. This has now been solved by making them add-ons (like almost everything else) which you can install with a click of a button. This rework of the controllers was needed for retro gaming feature which may land somewhere in the future. No sadly that doesn’t mean retro gaming will be available in v17 but we keep our hopes up for the future. Adventurous users can grab a build from our forum though here.
  • Other improvements – Though here are some mention worthy improvements form that list.

    • Added “Copy to Kodi” functionality on iOS which adds the option to the iOS share sheet of apps to “Open In” Kodi
    • Bump a variety of external libraries which Kodi uses to function which includes ffmpeg 3.1
    • On Windows all the external libraries were rebuild with Visual Studio 2015 and received some DLL loading cleanup which hopefully solve some startup problems on some installations
    • Video playback got further improvements in the wake of the big change from DVDplayer to VideoPlayer

    You can download Kodi 17.0 Krypton Alpha 3 from the Official Kodi 17.0 development downloads.
