Kodi 21 ‘Omega’ now available for download and install on Apple TV 4K and IPhone, IPad

Kodi 21 Omega final release is updated for our tvOS and iOS users.

This is what’s new in Kodi 21 ‘Omega’:

Major Features

FFmpeg 6

Kodi relies significantly on FFmpeg to do a lot of heavy lifting for us. Many developers have contributed to upgrading the project to make use of the newer FFmpeg releases over the past 15 months, initially starting with targeting FFmpeg 5, but later updating to FFmpeg 6.

In-game Player Viewer

Controller configuration for games gets a little better in v21: a window has been added in-game to view which game port each player’s controller is currently connected to.

Behind the Scenes

A large majority of changes are “under the hood” and invisible to users but improve the stability, performance, and safety of Kodi: API changes have been made to evolve Python and binary add-ons and bring new skinning features; there are updates to Kodi dependencies on most if not all Kodi platforms; fixes from regular use of code static-analysis tools, database migration fixes for a smoother update… and lots more.
