Last week, we told you that the seventh and last Beta of Kodi 17 “Krypton” was being prepared for Christmas testing, and it looks like it didn’t take long for the developers behind this powerful and amazing media center software that powers numerous appliances and HTPC devices to push the first Release Candidate build. And what better way to celebrate the new year than with some test driving of Kodi 17 RC1, which brings even more bug fixes since the Beta 7 milestone. We’ve attached the full changelog below for your reading pleasure, in case you’re curious to know what exactly was changed or improved.
