Download Kodi 14.1

The first update of Kodi version 14.0 has been released. Kodi is the new name for XBMC Media Center and this cross platform media center software is developed for Windows, OS X, Linux, Android, iOS, AppleTV and the Raspberry Pi. Version 14.0, codenamed Helix, contains no major changes other than the new name, but is referred to by the developers as a stability release. There is, however, a newer version of ffmpeg, which now also makes it possible to play h265 files. Kodi 14.1 is a so-called bug fix release and also the last version that will work on the Apple TV2†

Kodi 14.1 Helix Bug Fix 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 bug fix 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.

Fixes so far

• Incorrect video screensize on Android AML devices
• Potential segfault when silencing audio

• dXVA flickering on AMD

Windows
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 web server 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.
