Weeks ago Kodi announced the latest version of the program in its Nexus edition, but now the entity recognizes that it was a premature decision. At the same time, they reveal the availability of a latest update which, now, is expected to be the final one. See you Kodi Nexus.
Kodi Nexus is back. Although part of the tool’s team is working at full capacity on Kodi 21 Omega, they did not want to miss the need to update the Nexus edition once again. Is this time really the final one? Everything points to yes, since if they release another update after this one it will seem a little strange. In any case, let’s see what it includes and the reasons why you should get it.
A last farewell
It seems that even Kodi is surprised to have this latest update. But they comment that, as they work with a large team of volunteers, it is logical that errors and aspects that can be solved are detected.
Due to this, the Nexus 20.4 version does not incorporate any new features, but rather is aimed at solving problems and fixing bugs. For this reason, it is an update that is worth installing. On some devices it is most likely that the update has been installed automatically, while in the rest of the cases you can apply it without problems manually and regardless of your previous version of Kodi 20.
What changes does it have?
In general there are some fixes for technical problems related to plugins, but there are also some fixes depending on the version you use the software with. Those who obtain the most improvements are mobile users. Thus, in iOS a problem due to which the screen went black is finally solved. Now users no longer have to go through the process of manually disabling VTB Hardware playback when playing certain content between iOS and tvOS. However, although work has been done to eliminate this problem, Kodi says that there are still cases in which it is recorded. It can especially continue to occur when trying to play content with HTTP addresses in .strm file formats.
One would imagine that it will be something that will remain unrepaired in Kodi Nexus given that, as we said before, it is unlikely that there will be another version of the tool. However, given what we have seen at this point, anything can happen. For Kodi users on tvOS and iOS televisions, an issue with game controllers has also been fixed.
On Android there are another series of fixes that have been introduced and several of them are also related to the use of controls, both game and remote. In another vein, some problems related to the application’s availability on Google Play have been solved. However, in the last few hours Kodi has updated the news to indicate that they have realized that there are some problems with the Android version. They are investigating them until they can solve them, since, for example, there are problems when using the tool’s buttons. They ask that you do not update to the latest version of Android and that you wait until they update the news on their official website. This should happen in the next few hours.
Of course, there are also changes for other users, such as Windows users. In this last case, a solution has been introduced to a problem that existed with AESinkWASAPI in the event that there was no compatibility with the hardware or drivers. As usual, although updates are usually received automatically, the best way to apply them to your computer is always from the official website.
