VAAPI on Intel has gained some corrections for interlaced content that toggled interlaced flags during playback, and therefore caused stutter by reconfiguring the decoder.Īmongst other things, work has continued on Kodi's music experience: database access speed has been optimised as well as improved import functionality. Similar fixes were contributed for the AML platform, which really hasn't received much love over the past years. With this help we were able to fix performance and dependency regressions in our GLES rendering path.

Hopefully, you can see the results of this new process in the 18.x bug fix releases.įor this 18.2 release we are also grateful to have received many code contributions from outside Team Kodi. The aim is to solve the problem of waiting for proper full debug logs, samples and suchlike, hopefully saving a lot of time and getting issues resolved more quickly. This makes the bug reports more complete, and gives the Kodi developers a better chance to pinpoint problems more accurately and fix them more quickly. We've always valued high-quality bug reports, and, for this reason, for 18.x we implemented an issue template and an automated verification system in the GitHub issue tracker. What's worth noting, however, is how we've identified and managed the bugs this time. In keeping with the 18.x maintenance release cycle, this is a bug fix release, with no real new functionality. The sun is shining and the sky is blue here in western Europe, and we're all tied to our keyboards to bring you the latest Kodi loveliness. Just when you thought we were all having a rest for Easter, here's some surprise news for you: Kodi 'Leia' 18.2 is ready to roll.
