De eerste update van Kodi versie 14.0 is uitgekomen. Kodi is de nieuwe naam voor XBMC Media Center en deze crossplatform-mediacentersoftware wordt ontwikkeld voor Windows, OS X, Linux, Android, iOS, AppleTV en de Raspberry Pi. Versie 14.0, die codenaam Helix heeft gekregen, bevat naast de nieuwe naam geen grote veranderingen, maar wordt door de ontwikkelaars als een stability-release aangeduid. Wel is er een nieuwere versie van ffmpeg, waardoor nu ook het afspelen van h265-bestanden mogelijk is. Kodi 14.1 is een zogenaamde bugfix-release en ook de laatste versie die zal werken op de Apple TV2.
Kodi 14.1 Helix Bugfix release
We are proud to announce the release of Kodi 14.1, which comes with a new name, a new logo, and a wide variety of new features, but underneath the new coat of paint remains the same software we all love. This is the first small bugfix release in the Helix range. As we have mention in our Kodi 14.0 release announcement, we will be releasing these to squash down any issues left after the first final release. Below you will find a list of fixes so far.

Finally, there remain a few known bugs in Kodi 14.1 for Windows. However this should affect only a tiny portion of the users. In very rare cases Windows users may experience a Kodi crash. In such cases please disable the webserver in settings. The developers are working on finding the underlying cause of this and hope is on the horizon. However because this is quite a deeply buried problem we are unlikely to be able to fix it for the 14.x series. We will make certain it will be fixed for 15.0.
