De eerste bètarelease van Kodi versie 14.2 is uitgekomen. Kodi is de nieuwe naam voor XBMC Media Center en deze crossplatform-mediacentersoftware wordt ontwikkeld voor Windows, OS X, Linux, Android, iOS, AppleTV en de Raspberry Pi.
Versie 14.0, die codenaam Helix heeft gekregen, bevat naast de nieuwe naam geen grote veranderingen, maar wordt door de ontwikkelaars als een stability-release aangeduid. Wel is er een nieuwere versie van ffmpeg, waardoor nu ook het afspelen van h265-bestanden mogelijk is. In versie 14.2 zijn diverse problemen verholpen, waaronder de stabiliteitsproblemen die versies 14.0 en 14.1 onder Windows plaagden.
