Kodi® media center is an award-winning free and open source cross-platform software media player and entertainment hub for digital media for HTPCs (Home theater PCs). It uses a 10-foot user interface designed to be a media player for the living-room, using a remote control as the primary input device. Its graphical user interface (GUI) allows the user to easily browse and view videos, photos, podcasts, and music from a harddrive, optical disc, local network, and the internet using only a few buttons. IMPORTANT: The official Kodi version does not contain any content what so ever. This means that you should provide your own content from a local or remote storage location, DVD, Blu-Ray or any other media carrier that you own. Additionally Kodi allows you to install third-party plugins that may provide access to content that is freely available on the official content provider website. Any other means of watching illegal content which would otherwise be paid for is not endorsed or approved by Team Kodi. Estuary is the new standard skin and is designed to be fast and user friendly. With the skin Estouchy, Kodi has now been enhanced to better work with larger 5" or up phones and tablets. Kodi is not designed or recommended for use with smaller phones.

This version actually works like a charm if you take the time to just configure it correctly. CONNECTING NETWORK SERVER/SHARES DOES WORK!!! It WILL fail to see your server from the list of regular options (That needs fixing!).The workaround is that you just HAVE TO choose "add network location" instead, and then ONLY enter you server's IP and then click "ok". It will instantly add your server. Then right click your server > "edit" and you can browse your server for specific folders. #yourwelcome

ak cakes The app at one point was the preferred app to play movies, videos, movies & older games (at least in my case) & was the app that pushed me to purchase a Android (Shield) TV device, however a recent update has destroyed network capabilities (as well as running older games & weather services), only allowing previously mapped network shares to still work if they were done before the update. I attempted to uninstall the app & reinstall after clearing out a bunch of the plugins that no longer functioned on the app to see if I could gain back functionality afterwards, all my previous shares were gone after that & network functionality still remained broken. At this point I determined there was no point in keeping Kodi on my Android TV, so I removed it & don't know that I'll attempt to use it again (unless I'm told otherwise that it's been fixed; a friend of mine that showed me how it worked when I was considering getting my first one stated he reverted back to an older version before that update). Additionally, I have removed the app from my Samsung Galaxy S9 as well (I preferred using other apps on this device anyways, it was just nice to have box art for movies in the app), even through I did not use it for network use on it, only files on the SD card. One additional point to note is the fact that I was intending on purchasing another Android TV for another room in my house; it's been determined with the destruction of network compatibility in this app, it is highly unlikely I will be purchasing another unless I can find other apps to cover the loss of functionality in Kodi as a result of their latest update... What I do know is this is going to severely lessen how much I use the Shield TV device I already own, perhaps so much that I won't even leave it plugged in while not in use anymore...

ak bear Don't update to this version unless you have to. Lost all of my settings as nothing works as it did before. Add ons won't work, repo won't work until developers have a chance to redo their work, if they ever choose to. Had to delete this version and reinstall 18.9 and redo all my settings. Lost so much time doing it all over 😪 😕

ak It's all gone south now! Version updated and EVERYTHING stopped working, really, even the stuff that was left enabled by KODI (which wasn't much) doesn't work either. Now I've worked hard on my config and it's, in one fail swoop, hosed, so I'm really unhappy that this release came out without consideration for any of the users. This must be one of the worst app dev decisions ever. I gave it a go to see if it would just take time to migrate to the newer version so I went through the add-ons that hadn't been 'disabled' and checked for updates...yada yada yada ... and started one of them. Only to watch 3 and a half hours of two circles spinning round, that's more than acceptable for something to configure itself to a new version of anything. KODI now stands for shame in my books, break everything and pat yourself on the back for it, so many people not only let down but left with trashed systems due to this ridiculous abortion of a 'new version'. The field is now open for a successor to KODI after this.

lee I unfortunately have to agree with the negative comments. Though for me nothing broke insofar as it stopped working, Matrix has introduced an irritating behavior when playing songs from my music collection (on a NAS). Previously, when you went "Artist" and then clicked "Play" for an artist, where there are multiple albums in the library for that artist, it played album1, song1, album1, song2 ... album2, song1 etc. Basically as expected, I'd say. Now Matrix starts playing album1, song1 and then jumps to another album and another song. Haven't figured out the logic behind it so far nor did I find a setting to restore the old behavior. Which is quite annyoing, as I want to listen to whole *albums*, not songs. E.g. Live albums.

ak boots After the update to version 19 the app crashes frequently, no more connection to shared files, tried on different devices, other share media apps still working fine, did even a cmplete reset off the nvidia shield pro, did not help, and why is kodi using a different gateway?? also cpu temp is -1 degrees, feels like version 19 is still in beta

ak alaska I Had to learn how to prevent auto update on Android. Do NOT download this version: it just kills everything that was working before, just for the sake of it. Store your precious version 18.9 and re-install it, evwry time the system is dumb enough to upgrade it.

firestick Great app!!! Holds all your media in one place and great for movies and tv shows. Version 19 has some addon issues playing 3rd party add-ons whose developers need to update to python 3. Until then keep using 18.9 which still works great for everything!

ak island Worked ok with earlier versions but the latest is terrible. These comments are about how this works going over to an older "smart" TV. It can't seem to find anything on my tablet even though I tell it right where to find it. I cannot get it to show photos at all as the interface doesn't give you the choice just video and music and music has never worked. Even though I set it to "play next video automatically" it just goes back to the directory which takes about two minutes to reload. out of room

e shane You ever buy books for college, and find that you can't sell them back because they 'updated' them? Y'know, "Problem 29 on page 263 has been changed," so you're out $140. This update is as welcome as that, and even less useful. Unwelcome, improves nothing you wanted, takes away things you did, swapping the wheels and replacing them with hexagons. These guys have either lost their way, or sold it to the highest bidder.

I can't get version 19 to work on my Android but it works on my computer but I'm not impressed with 19 the matrix has blacked out the screen completely on three of the five devices I tried to put it on the other two devices wouldn't even let me open the file for matrix so I am currently running 18.9 just have to go on the web browser and download the older version I do love kodi just not the new version yet that's why I'm giving it a 4 out of 5 Stars

3 years later and history repeats after the installation of v19'0 Matrix ... Out of the blue, Kodi stops after a short (between 15 and 20 minutes) time. Whatever I do, reset the Minix UH 9 to factory settings, reinstalling Kodi, it doesn't dissapear and I'm getting very anoyed now. With other apps like VLC I don't have any problem at all. Since I'm only playing my own content on my own network, I also resetted my Nas's but also this wasn't the solution. :-(

Is this a joke? Why would they update this to a version 90% of add-ons are incompatible with? You messed up big. Deleted and went back to 18, luckily I didn't have much to begin with so reinstalling everything was easy. Unfortunately some people who have way more stuff will find doing the rollback very frustrating. Stupid move Kodi, you suck!

Unfortunately, I have to agree with the negative comments on the matrix update. Having used Kodi for 3yrs now, I was okay with the previous versions until this 19.0 Matrix update; there's a serious lag in pictures when playing VOB files on my TV from my HDD. If an update is not out I will have to embrace other players

My Nvidia Shield Pro (2019) automatically updated to Kodi 19, and now Kodi won't play anything from my server. The previous version was great, but apparently none of the add-ons work on 19 yet? So, what the hell's the point of forcing an update on people that doesn't work, idiots???!!!
Maddie S
2021-03-13T14:49:31.619Z
This works great on my tv, but no matter how many builds I tried, none of them worked. There was always something missing at one step, that just didn't come up. So dissapointed.

2021-02-22T05:59:14.405Z
This latest update is a total nightmare. My Nvidia shield just automatically updated the version 19.0 and not only did it break most of my add-ons but I can no longer view any of my media over the network from my home media server. I should have checked the reviews before uninstalling and reinstalling the app because now I have lost all my playlists and all my add-on configurations and it is still broken!

GREAT job guys!!! I have been using Kodi since it was XBMC on the first gen Xbox console, and have even submitted quite a few bug reports and custom Linux patches, back when SourceForge hosted projects written in respectable programming languages. Java, Rust and Python 3 are nothing but shat-out corporate black-box garbage frameworks that barely bootstrap an OS on modern hardware s**t-pile devices - revisions to the Python 3 serial comm libs even managed to kill OctoPrint/OctoPi recently!!!

it decided to update its self even though it shouldnt be set to, then just deletes everything you have built up on kodi... dont waste hours arranging things as you have no control over the operating system.... {update; week later now & after i deleted everything and reinstalled 18.9 & then double checked all auto upates were off. it was fine for few days but today i put it on & again it began loading 19 and ruined all id installed again. no idea how it is updating itself.. need new alternative

Since the last update it stops playback when I lock my phone, and it asks me to refresh tags (which would take hours) after every song, it's pretty much unusable for me, I hope this gets fixed soon because it's a great app otherwise.
Larry Caldwell
2021-03-10T20:46:23.920Z
Worst Kodi imaginable. Trashed my Nvidia Shield, fortunately was able to reinstall Leia. Also hurried and set Google Play to not update my tablet. I guess they decided on their own to ignore that today and changed it to Matrix. Thanks for nothing Google Play.
Jason Smith
2021-02-25T11:48:09.888Z
Happily updated and disabled all my add ins as incompatible without warning... uninstalled. Here's an idea, before pushing out a new version when so much has been been changed make it a separate release until rev x.5 or something so devs have had chance to update add ins. Dont want to have to disable auto update for EVERY app in future Poor show!

2021-03-12T03:52:00.222Z
Unfortunately since the update to 19 matrix kodi is broken on Android phones, at least for my note 20 that is. Kodi launches with splash screen and then the screen goes black. If you press the phones back button you can hear kodi's back button sound.

Version 19 is a nightmare. It couldn't read any drives from my main PC. Had to delete it from NVidia Shield and my Android tablet. It was easy to go back on my PC to 18.9 but I will have to side load it on my Android devices. Horrible quality control and lack of testing on the part of the programmers.

latest update (on my philips tv running android) brought new security settings, which made it impossible to watch youtube sent from my pc on my local net. this update shows again (like with many other products in the consumer area) a total ignorance to general users. if developers feel the urge to add more security, then they should follow a simple rule: PLEASE PLEASE make such changes as an opt-in instead of an opt-out. savvy admins are paid to keep track of security, the general public is not.

Not worth the download time, every time it works for a few day and along comes Google, Samsung and their minders and destroys what works really well on all my other platforms. We ruin the USB storage as well, hold your breath for more money than you already got no more new rubbish you produce. Not sure because it is broken again.

Black screen. Does not work at all anymore. Fix this, please! Edit: problem is from >60hz refresh rate (adaptive 120 on s21u). Changing it to 60 resolves issue, but still annoying.

2021-02-27T10:24:51.686Z
As most of you have mentioned it's definitely best to stay clear of this update if you are currently using Kodi Leia 18.9 because it will render most of your addons useless and if you happen to own a Nvidia Shield Pro TV device then make sure that you go into the Google play store and disable the automatic update feature because for some strange reason this is always set to auto update by default, the matrix 19.0 update will probably be worth updating in the future but not for now

5 stars normally. Since 19.0 Matrix just 2 stars. Why? Well I mainly use it to stream all my series, movies and documentaries from my NAS over NFS. Since 19.0 when playing 2160P LOTR any Extended version, after 1 - 1,5 hours into the movie the image begins to stutter regulary, audio keeps playing without stutters though. Very annoying. 18.9 Leia works flawlessly for me. Went back to this version. WTH does it go stutter in a new release?? Things should be improved instead of worsening them!!!
Dan Rodgers
2021-02-21T19:16:37.120Z
I wish I had a choice between Leah and Matrix. If Android had not automatically installed Matrix, I would still have TV on my phone, but not now since Matrix will not install NPVR. Since I also use Kodi for Xbox One, I expect to have no choice there either, and my entire media configuration will be ruined.

2021-03-21T17:50:03.450Z
It may have tons of features. But it sucks at doing basic things like playing a video stored on phone or being very difficult to use because of it's UI with tiny font and buttons.

The app was just updated to the new versión 19 and it uninstalled all my add-ons I've spent a lot of time configuring everything and now is all gone, thanks Kodi!!! PS: I can't even reinstall my add-ons, they're not compatible, bye Kodi, time to look for a new app.
Dj Sagers
2021-02-21T09:53:48.440Z
You auto-updated on my TV and disabled EVERY addon. I used Kodi on there for Lyrics, now it is not supported. WHY? The setting is available but the only addon, CULRC Lyrics is disabled, and it will not look for a new one. Revert my version or fix this!
James Kellough
2021-02-28T19:35:24.415Z
While technically Kodi 19 works as intended, less then a handful of add-ons actually work on this release making it a shell of its former self at this time. The ones that currently do work, suck. They should have waited to release this version until the add-on developer updates were also ready. If you were automatically updated to Kodi 19, sideload 18.9 and continue enjoying.

My kodi box updated itself to Matrix overnight even with updates disabled in playstore. Now I cannot see my SMB shares anymore and it wants a username and password? Not everyone on here knows how to get in and edit .xml files. What have you done to this working app? In my opinion you have broken something that was not broken.....i wasted many hours of my day working out how to roll back to an earlier version. To the developer.....please FIX it asap!

The old Kodi was 5 * and was excellent to watch moves on but A Big BUT this new so called Kodi 19.0 matrix is no good to watch moves on half work and half do not work . Although I like the style of the new Kodi when will Kodi de fully up running so we can watch moves and videos.Thanks Owen

Last update is terrible. Wish I could rollback. Accessing network shares is a mess. The app freezes on my Tab S7 and I can't access network mapped drives from my Nvidia Shield TV Pro. How is it that VLC has no issues accessing network shares and DLNA servers but Kodi can't?
Mihai Mocanu
2021-02-25T16:27:53.256Z
This new 19 version is horrible. I upgrade it from 18.9 where everything was working and now nothing is working. Network drives can not be accesed (SMB). The same 19 version is working in win 10.

Latest update broke most of my plug-ins and frequently crashes. It's ruined my android version I hope I can block it on my shield before it gets ruined there too. Was SO GOOD before this latest update.

I hate this update! I can't figure out how to go back to Leia. Stop your auto updates now if you can. The Matrix is not compatible with so many good apps.
Todd Simmons
2021-03-01T15:05:54.146Z
This auto-updated to version 19 and absolutely everything that I spent a long time setting up on the older version isn't compatible, including the skin. Lost it all. What a terrible update.

Updated to V19.0 I can no longer access my addon's on Shield! And on my Pixel phone, it's a blank screen! I was under the impression this version is the holy grail, not horror story!

This automatic update from Leia to 19,0 matrix is brutal. None of my add-ons work now..I tried installing some of the add-ons that are supposed to work with this new version don't work either! So essentially this is now Useless!!!!

I'm using the upnp function of this app with another app but the video always stops playing within 15 minutes because kodi doesn't stay open in the background for long. Not sure if it is an android issue. Please fix this?

latest update v19 "matrix" broke my library ! gvd cant connect to any smb nfs share no matter what version i adjust to on smb on the mi-box. triple checked my shares are reachable with any device and previously with Leah version of kodi. I will turn off auto updates forever this is a nightmare so much work gone luckily i have a backup but jeez guys this is unexpected untested and unacceptable.

2021-04-04T05:48:54.837Z
just horrible. kodi was the go to until this new matrix. now i cant install covenant the crew tempest exodus genesis it will say installed but it shows up no where. this sucks now i have to find out how to install an older version if possible
Nicoleta Lazar
2021-03-02T20:47:11.870Z
If anyone actually reads this, DO NOT INSTAL this version. It is uncompatible with qny addon. Completely useless. I downloaded the older version and deactivated the automatic updates. Works just fine like this.
Doole Doodoole
2021-02-21T16:32:08.749Z
After todays update, the library is not working any more. All the SMB shares are gone, Kodi can't find the workgroup, and none of the shared folders. Very nice update indeed.

Kodi 19 is Nothing but GARBAGE! There is absolutely NO point at all for using Kodi anymore!!!! Nothing works on Kodi 19, and you cannot go back and install Kodi 18.9 for some reason. Kodi 19 has no add-ons for movies and TV shows so now Kodi is Garbage to me, I will not be using Kodi anymore!!!!
Gene Popowytsch
2021-02-28T15:47:43.126Z
What a nightmare. PLEASE MAKE version 18.9 accessible from the Play Store so that all of us who got burned with this latest update can go back to the older version. Version 19.0 is terrible with a Capital T. And until you do you'll be getting more and more of these negative reviews.
Peter Parker
2021-02-22T22:27:28.237Z
Killer Kodi. Users be aware, installing this version renders ALL repos, addons, dependacies etc totally useless. Upon installation it basically kills all existing parts and installations of Kodi, causing nothing to work. Kodi 19 will open, but that's about it
Gil Ramos
2021-03-02T22:10:42.782Z
Had to reinstall 18.9 and lost all my metadata. To avoid auto updating to 19 even after downgrading, make sure to disable auto update from the play store. Kodi 19 broke everyhting for me and wasted hours off my time.
Avalon Media
2021-02-26T03:10:22.491Z
The best skins no longer work. Most addons no longer work. Why don't they just say we no longer want to support this app. Because that's what it smells like. Plex here I come.
David Roberts
2021-03-12T20:35:21.379Z
Lost my sport and movie addons. Nothing of value at this moment. Should not have pushed this version out on people, with so much lack of credible or insufficient volume of a variety of addons.
David Corcoran

v19 Broken on Note 20 ultra due to 120hz refresh. No issue with v18.9. Don't intend on changing device refresh rate just for one app. Uninstalled until fixed
Jeff T
2021-03-04T07:50:27.534Z
Version 19 doesn't work at all on my Samsung Galaxy s9+. I just get a garbled screen. V18.9 worked fine. Pathetic. Seems it doesn't work on lots of Samsung devices.
Paul DeBusschere
2021-03-05T18:33:09.754Z
Awful. Music player will only play one song off my playlist and then stops. Stops on screen lock, so now useless to me. Hope I can roll back to Leia.
Kimberly Smith
2021-02-25T16:05:20.890Z
Hate the new update. Nothing works now and can't get anything to work. It forced the update and I have no way to go back. Very disappointed with this crappie update
Tom Culliton
2021-02-20T17:24:26.892Z
Broke literally EVERY addon that made this worth having installed, MythTV PBS, ... Should come with a giant disclaimer to that effect. Now I have to figure outhow to roll back to 18.9 so it's useful again, or replace it.

(Samsung S21 Ultra) Matrix..... This update has broken kodi, I launch the app and after accepting the permissions the screen goes black and doesn't move past the emptiness that has became this once amazing app.
Chad Manastyrski
2021-02-25T04:00:29.650Z
Matrix is garbage! The previous version worked awesome and now non of my ad-ons work. Very annoying. Why tweek something that was working perfectly well?!?
ß bob
2021-02-25T08:43:37.258Z
After auto update to V19, most add-ons are now incompatible, making everything useless. Not sure why it was push out to everyone. Please make an option to rollback to previous version.
Charles Cachia
2021-02-26T20:07:32.337Z
most everything NOT compatible with matrix....the update should have at least warned us before updating..only way back to previous ver. 18.9 is a total re-install of the apk manually..
Km Killerbeer
2021-02-27T14:51:52.984Z
Great thanks to Kodi for updating to the next "stable" version and disabling or otherwise rendering unusable practically every addon I had installed. Way to go, folks.

2021-03-03T10:17:40.900Z
Update found a fix for the smb issue. Go to Settings -> Services -> SMBclient -> Minimum = V1, Maximum = V3. The important one is the minimum for older devices.
Csaba Kemeri
2021-02-23T20:14:42.300Z
The new version totally bugged my Player, lost all of my addons, doesnt see my NAS, etc, totally unusable!!! I try reinstal hand the Leia 18.0 version....anyone can help?
Somex UK
2021-02-24T12:40:37.136Z
19.0 is a nightmare. Give us an option to install 18.9 Nothing worked on 19.0 at present. Withdraw it until it is debugged and developers have sorted problems out.
Noa Novosel
2021-02-27T13:18:02.726Z
This app was amazing till the 19.0 version came. All my addon's were erased and i couldn't install them again because it said they were not compatible, a big shame. KODI FIX THIS

Leia 18 worked well untill i installed matrix, lost all my data can't install the programs i had, pity i can't reinstall leia 18 i wouldn't recommend to update untill they get it sorted.
allthe same
2021-03-04T17:58:10.207Z
To release v19 as an update and completely wipe out my setup is disgusting,. Almost no interesting add-on supports it yet and it went through my auto update and wiped out my setup without a warning..... I don't know what to tell you?
John Valencia
2021-03-01T14:30:52.735Z
the update broke functionality. add ons and skins are useless and it stopped detecting my external HDD. was good while it lasted. thaks for all the fish.
Chris kotsiris
2021-02-26T07:32:39.960Z
Why auto update? Doest work.. no addons, no lists, mothing.. i uninstalled and installed the old one to olay my files, and some hours later i see the updated version installed automaticaly again.. ITS NOT WORKING. NOTHING. It cant even see the LAN files.. :( ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Kodi Matrix update has completely broken SMB shares. Can no longer view any media on my network. "Operation not permitted" - Kodi is now absolutely useless on my TCL Android Smart TV.
nv sh

You should have warned major break in functionality, most of existant add ons do not work on Matrix version. Waste of time... rolling back.

I just used this app on TV. I was excited about the Dolby Vision support. So, When I play a Single Layer Dolby Vision file (Dolby Vision On Off Trailer), The TV shows the Dolby Vision Logo but the Video is blank. Only the audio is played. Reviewed on Sony X90F Android 9.

stops on smartphone if inactive. Used to work but this new version is useless for using as a mediaplayer. Developers need to fix this.

Estuary has always been the default skin, but you could download others and change it - not anymore! Most of my addons now won't work or update - uninstalled and gone back to v.18.9

19's performance is horrible for my android box. Will restore to 18.9 and wait for improvements, saw it coming and did a backup before updating :)

2021-03-18T05:38:20.398Z
do not update unless you want to loose all your previous data, not compatible with kodi 19.0. My bad I didnt look up before.

Latest automatic upgrade is so bad I've lost my add-ons and the start-up screen is not clear. Avoid at all costs and uninstall.

2021-03-05T02:24:11.296Z
BEWARE!! I sure as heck wish I would've been able to see the reviews for this Matrix update/make app useless. After an hour of frustration & cursing I uninstalled the kodi app & downloaded an earlier version online.

Kanaiya Khatri
2021-02-24T00:29:02.493Z
Why Kodi did this to us, why ? I mean are this developers are using kodi for day to day basis ? If they were I don't think they would have released this kodi matrix which is actually taking things back to matrix(that movie of 90's) time... But I would definitely like to appreciate that they did in past until 18.9... I installed update and uninstall and install apk of 18.9... Thanks for new version but no thanks.
Elvira Garcia
2021-03-20T18:49:40.901Z
The new version deleted my builds and addons and now I can't download new ones because they are not compatible. These people either need to make addons for Kodi 19 or allow is to go back to Kodi 18.
Clarissa Henry

Kodi 19.0 will not passthrough any audio more than dolby Digital 5.1.. No problems with 18.9 passthrough and dolby atmos, dtsx, etc. I have a Sennheiser Ambeo soundbar and Nvidia shield pro 2019. This new version is broken
Greg Urban
2021-02-22T14:06:09.840Z
19.0 is incompatible with the old addons. All of them broke when it was auto updated. Have to uninstall and try to restore my 18.9 setup.
Niky Nikolov

2021-02-22T13:31:03.745Z
WHAT HAPPENED ? 18.9 was wonderful 19.0 has too many "incompatible add-ons" issues. Yahoo! Weather is now incompatible. Can not in good conscience advise updating to 19.0
Michael Ojile
2021-03-21T00:35:47.996Z
19.0 sucks and I can't get anything to actually work. Tried some builds made for this version of KODI and they do not work at all.

Very bad , after using kodi for a long time this happened Why you do that and i have RD , we lost money , me my friends and family, i think its a disaster like covid 19 pls. Go back to the way it was befor the whole world loves kodi .

Bring back 18.9 it worked well, 19 is unstable and practically nothing works, don't load it if you have a previous version already.
The Mad Hatter
2021-03-02T19:47:50.437Z
The new update is completely useless! I never thought I'd say it after years of using kodi but I'm uninstalling & looking for an alternative.

Update broke everything. I hope the developer that approved these changes gets COVID but lives, so they can get every strain of COVID and be in pain and agony for as it takes to get all the addons compatible to v19
JAMES KROLIKOWSKI
2021-03-22T12:03:46.270Z
The new version you loose all the best addons. Wish I could load 18.9 Leia instead of 19.0 matrix

The app shows a dark screen when trying to open it. The older version was better.

Black screen when launch the 2nd time on samsung s20 FE. Try reinstall, launch first time and black screen afterward. Will reinstall 18.9 instead.
Gregory Munoz
2021-02-28T11:13:47.704Z
Since the update to Kodi 19 matrix it does not work stops running does not allow any kinds of builds to install or add-ons due not install waste of time

Horrible update SMB is broken, shame. For those who don't want v18.9 to update automatically just resign apk with free Kefir500/APK Icon Editor 2.2.0 and problem solved

02/24/2021 FIGURE IT OUT & YOU ARE WELL ON YOUR WAY. WHY PAY FOR SERVICES WHEN THEY ARE FREE WITH KODI, SIMPLY STUDY HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. IT IS A FORK OF LINUX OS. KODI START-UP IS TRIPLE AS FAST SINCE THE ABOVE UPDATE. WHEN YOU HAVE KODI & KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE, YOU SHOULD VISUALIZE THE THE GOOGLE PLAY STORE STAR METER EXPLODING. LINUX IS IN YOUR HOUSE, MIGHT MAKE YOU SQUEK SIMILAR TO MOUSE. THANKS
