Kodi is the number one media center application right now, and not because it’s free, open source, and supported on so many popular platforms, including GNU/Linux, Android, iOS, macOS, and Microsoft Windows, but because it offers a wide range of powerful settings and it’s easy to set up and customize to your liking. The fifth Beta of the forthcoming major Kodi 17 “Krypton” series is here one week after the Beta 4 build, and it promises to polish the Android support for addressing a possible crash that could have occurred when Android apps had missing icons, as well as to add back seeking to a certain time on video files, using numeric input.
