If you'd like to get the best OSMC experience, we recommend Vero 4K +, which allows you to enjoy HEVC, HDR10 and HD audio. If you enjoy OSMC, please follow us on Twitter, like us on Facebook and consider making a donation if you would like to support further development.
Of course - if you have updates scheduled automatically you should receive an update notification shortly. To get the latest and greatest version of OSMC, simply head to My OSMC -> Updater and check for updates manually on your exising OSMC set up. You can re-enable them manually to get them working again. You should also note that some add-ons may be disabled by default after upgrading.
We recommend that you switch to the OSMC skin before upgrading, then attempt to switch back to your skin of choice if you use a different skin. Most add-ons should work without issue, however Kodi's skinning engine has been significantly revamped in this version. You should check with the developer of any add-ons or skins before updating and enquire if there is a Leia compatible version. Your skins or add-ons of choice may not necessarily be compatible with the new version of Kodi. If you are using Kodi on other devices with a shared MySQL library, then you should ensure that those devices can also be upgraded to Kodi Leia as well before proceeding. Please be aware that this version of Kodi Leia uses a new database schema that is incompatible with older versions of Kodi. Cleaned up Apple TV (1st generation) and Vero (late 2015) targets from build system.Added additional netfilter modules for Vero 4K / 4K +.
The main improvements for OSMC users are: Kodi v18 comes with a large number of improvements, and you can learn more about the release from the official announcement. We have now started to produce nightly builds for Kodi v19. We'd like to thank those who have tested our nightly builds as well as pre-release test builds. The Kodi Leia (v18) update is not available for Vero 1 (late 2015) users and we now consider the device to be end of life. Kodi v18 was released at the end of January and since then we've been working on readying a stable release for OSMC supported devices. It's been a while since we last posted an update.
