There are 28 changes included in the Kodi 17 “Krypton” Beta 3 pre-release snapshot, which you can view in detail via the full changelog attached at the end of the article. Most of them are bug fixes, but we can’t help but notice that there’s now proper screen scale for latest iOS devices, such as iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the implementation of a “Time” button on the PVR information dialog, and amlogic passthrough support on Android 5-powered devices. Moreover, there are now some extra music roles in the Music sections, the ability to exclude singles in recently played albums, support for displaying text during various migrations tasks, such as add-on or database upgrades, along with the ability to fetch information from both .nfo and scraper files.
