Ya tenemos disponible para descarga la nueva versión Alpha de Kodi 19 “Matrix”, un cambio de versión que revoluciona este popular gestor de contenidos. Sin duda el cambio más profundo en el ámbito de los addons donde salta a Phyton 3 y esto bloqueará todos los addos que no se actualicen, algo que va a generar varios problemas con toda seguridad. Por otro lado hay mayor control sobre los addons que bloquearán la capacidad de sobreescribir en repositorios oficiales.
Además de este cambio a nivel interno KODI 19 Matrix recibe mejoras para reproducir contenidos basados en el codec AV1, ahora ya es posible decodificar por software este formato. Tenéis en este mismo artículo la lista completa de cambios de esta nueva versión que representa el futuro de KODI para los próximos años.
