Kodi (Formerly XBMC) Gets Updated To v14 With Tweaked Tablet UI, Better Fast-Forward/Rewind, And More

Perhaps you’re wondering what this Kodi thing is… well, it’s XBMC. They just don’t call it XBMC anymore. The latest version of this all-in-wonder media player and content organizer has been released, and you can get it on your Android device right now for zero dollars.

Kodi is cross-platform, so there are a ton of changes and fixes pertaining to one or the another, but here’s what’s specific to Android.

Better hardware playback support for various chips
Improved fast-forward and rewind
4K support for the AMLogic s802 chipset
New Re-Touched skin replaced Touched skin on tablets.
Faster library scanning

Version 14 also adds support for the FFmpeg 2.4.4 codec on all platforms, meaning it can play h.265 and VP9 video. Additionally, there’s better control over add-on updates everywhere, non-QWERTY keyboard standards, better UPnP, and more.
