Arriving a month after the fifth Beta development release, Kodi 17 Beta 6 fixes a total of 20 problems, including a possible EPG lock up, a memory leak with ASS subtitles, as well as several regular ones across all supported platforms, multiple issue in the CMake build system, and a potential memory leak in the image handling functionality. Also fixed in the sixth Beta release of Kodi 17 “Krypton” is an issue that could occur when reading tags from music files, several bugs that should improve support for controllers, the conversion of POPM music tag values to the new 0 to 10 rating, as well as a video stall bug on Android platforms, and multiple Windows problems.
